I gave mine to my sister Coral a couple years ago. I always liked putting my hand on the top of the orb and concentrating all the bolts together into a single mega-bolt. The other "trick" was to see how close you could get two fingers together before the bolts going to each merged into a single bolt. Does yours have a setting which allows it to pulsate to music?

I used to have one... I broke it... I suspect it was when I was experimenting the effects of putting metal and water on it's surface
