Just lots of idle time!

I've seen a video like this before. (same one?) Pretty amazing!

I don't get what moves the chess pieces though.

Type his name in YouTube and you'll see lots of imitations.

To heck with the chess pieces, how did those letters move around and end up spelling real words on that "window!" eek2.gif

I thought I'd seen this video before but I don't remember these last few scenes. Maybe this guy made enough on the first video that he now has more 'free time!' laugh.gif

Te chess board looks like one of those boards you used to be able to get a while ago that you could play against a computer. The pieces have magnets in them and the computer "plays" you by actually moving the pieces on the board. I always wanted one when I was a kid. smile.gif

That's still amazing. The pieces are moved by a computer that can move objects! I'd like to see the mechanism.
