BUT some cleaver con artists who refuse to admit that it is an optical illusion, bought some land, rebuilt the interior to make things like a ball "rolling upwards" and water "flowing upwards" with even a swing that when you take your feet off the floor you "fall upwards".
I am sick of shit like this. I may hate Penn's economic views, but as far as his stage act, he admits it is all a trick.
1. NO YOUR CAR is not actually falling up hill. The topography only makes it look that way from your point of view in the car.
2. GRAVITY will pull any object down when it is released with no aid. Nothing falls up on it's own.
I don't mind a good illusion or trick, but when you start selling that lie as real, then you piss me off because you are a con at that point, and not an artist.
I wish I had a clip of this bullshit, but no link to the story itself. I did shoot the News Station who aired it, and called them out on it.
Yeah, there's a 'gravity hill' pretty close to me in the Los Angeles area.
My girlfriend's daughter started claiming it is 'magic', but I proved to her it was not. A simple bubble level did the job.
Also, up in Northern California, there is a house called "The Mystery Spot" that uses this illusion to great effect.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
