Man Performs Head Spin At Shopping Mall; Internet Is Feeling 'Sick'

Fidget spinners were a craze back in 2016. Invented in 1993, the device was specially made for children suffering from attention deficit disorders. But the spinning tool soon grew popular among adults too, with many claiming that it helped them concentrate and achieve focus. Fidget spinners come in an array of shapes, sizes, and colours. But have you ever heard of a human one? Recently, a video has been doing the rounds on the internet, where a young man can be seen rotating speedily on a floor, resembling that of a human fidget spinner. Needless to mention, the clip whipped up a storm on social media.

Dropped on Instagram, the astonishing clip opens with a youngster prepping himself up to perform the seemingly impossible spin at a shopping mall. Within just a few seconds, he changes his position to an upside-down posture. With his head on the floor, he balances his body with his hands first and takes a couple of spins. Once settled into the position, he lets go of his hands and starts rotating rapidly, just balancing on his head.

Adding an extra layer of flair, the young man sometimes extends his legs and at other times brings it closer to his chest. The shoppers witnessing the feat were left stunned at the headspin, looking at the man with keen interest. After spinning for a few more seconds the youngster leaps back onto his feet seamlessly. “I nearly puked watching this,” read the caption. The textual layout of the video called the artist — “The Human Fidget Spinner.”

The man who executed the feat was Van Martarello, a professional head spinner. He thanked the Instagram handle for reposting his video on their account, adding a prayer and heart emoji. Social media users were quick to react to the video as well. “This increases stress,” noted one individual. “My neck could never,” agreed another. “That mall is too fancy for this type of debauchery to be occurring there. Look at those floors,” pointed out a third person.

Van Martarello’s Instagram profile provides a delightful collection of similar head-spin videos. He also released an e-book titled Headspin Guide for beginners wanting to perform the extraordinary feat.
