I believe his talent has some sort of correlation to his baldhead. I just don't know how.

OMG! I had a math teacher that did that in High School too! Mr. Fraser! He was totally the best math teacher EVER!

Hmm... How hard can that be... *draws circle*

Oh... *looks at the triangle just drawn* That hard.

Dw1117, sir, you have obviously not read enough Superman comics. The baldness is a well filled with undiluted genius, tainted only by the bitterness and rage that envelops his life in indescribable darkness.

I, for one, welcome our new perfect-freehand-circle-drawing overlords.

Indeed this man must be some type of genius overlord and his perfect circles are part of his super powers. Its only a matter of time before DC comics will copyright his life story to make a movie about a math teacher who draws perfect circles by day and is a mastermind villain by night.

I believe there's some sort of theory that relates how good a person can draw a circle and how good they can be at art (or how intelligent they are. I don't really know)

Its the rounder your circle is, the more intelligent you are suppose to be. Something to do with your left brain functions.

There's some talk about what Empire said, but to the best of my knowledge intelligence and/or artistic ability have not been correlated with the ability to draw really good circles.

Cold, calculating, evil genius ability, on the other hand, HAS been found to have a Pearson product-moment correlation of 1 when compared to freehand-circle-drawing ability. So the guy in the video? Totally evil. Right after this video, he killed a puppy. True story.

Hmm i think it would be more impressive if he could do it on a face down peace of papper and alot smaller. it seems to me he is using centrafugal force and the natural rotatoin of his arm to do the work. i think it would be alot harder to do this if it was done compleaty with your arm movments ore wrist movments,

By westy

westy (http://www.videosift.com/member/westy) — Fri, 12 Jan 2007 17:28:41 -0800

actually after watching again it apears that the majorty of the movment comes from the sholder joint whitch is shaped inorder to give good full rotatoinal movment. although it is still cool how he manages to draw sutch a neet cercel in this method i think doing it with the lawer arm would be sugnificantly harder

"In 1508, Pope Julius II was looking for an artist to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The story goes that when the Pope asked Michelangelo for proof of his talent, the artist replied by drawing a perfect circle, free-hand."

Met a guy once who could draw perfect crowds, but his personal circle was less than perfect.

My Trigonometry professor in college, Mr. Deceaux (Southern Polytechnic State University) could also draw circles like this, without looking at the board. It really freaked me out the first time he did it. He was also highly eccentric and had the Einstein Hair(TM).

just wondering what westy would gain from pretending to be mentally disabled, joe?!?!?! you raise an excellent point because before seeing your comment, i asked my husband, 'what person does not know how to spell circle ... yet can navigate through the internet, edit/,make their own vids, and post some what regularly?' *confounded*

although, i strongly have a feeling that english is not westy's first language.
