Watch: Artist uses hair dryers to create gravity-defying works of art

If you thought your hair dryer was a common and boring machine used to simply dry your hair, prepare to witness what the marvel of physics can do to that machine. [caption id=“attachment_2310568” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] Image taken from YouTube video.[/caption] Frengh magician Antoine Terrieux arranged hair dryers at the La Maison Des Jonglages (House of Juggling) in La Courneuve near Paris in circles in such a way that the air released by the hair dryers began making paper planes fly continuously in circles, as if they were real planes. In another arrangement, a vinyl record is seen flapping non-stop against the floor as if gravity would have no effect on it. Perhaps the most mind-blowing trick, however, is the one in which a hair-dryer, placed at the top of a plexiglass rectangle with fire inside, pulls the smoke into a vortex, making the hair-dryer look more like some form of alien weapon that a machine to dry hair. As the video description said, “The hair dryer, that invaluable tool for anyone who’s vain (so, everyone), is no longer a just a domestic object. It’s now an artistic tool.” We couldn’t agree more.
