This dude is amazing.  Seriously.  No glue or trickery or any of that.  Just gravity and balance.

Bill Dan’s da man!  Check out his site to see more of his work.  Or you can check out his flickr photostream.  Or his YouTube videos.  Bill regularly balances rocks in the San Francisco area, so see him in action if you’re in the neighborhood.  

Aaaaand…doesn’t this seem like something you’d like to try?  Of course it is.  Anybody can do it.  It takes lots of practice and patience to be as good as Bill, but you gotta start somewhere, right?  Check out the video below for a beginner’s lesson, courtesy of Walter Siebert.  Or these lessons from a variety of people.  I’m gonna go try this next time I’m near some rocks.
