That may be an old bar trick.  One swipe of the bottom of the egg on 200 grit sandpaper will give an almost undetectable flat on which the egg can stand.  A college buddy of mine won many beers using this technique.  Was Sterling's father a con man? (I am just asking here, I have no idea)  EDIT for clarity:  This means I don't know which is why I am asking this question.  By asking this question, I am not drawing any conclusions at this time, I am just attempting to gather additional information.

He also said a couple of times that it is a fake.  Take that sarcastically or not, he said it.  Maybe if it is a fake, the big motor and battery that he showed really was attached to the other end of the string loop.

I've been doing a little analysis with photoshop and can't see any string.

But he definitely stops and steps over something real or imaginary while on the floor and again on the table. I saw the table thing the first time but dismissed it b/c a string never occurred to me.

If that guy posts video of an all-egg motor on youtube I'm jumping out the window.
