Wintergatan’s Marble Machine seems just the thing to fire up a ho-hum Monday, should you be having one. Please feel free to leave links in the comments to any other bits of Monday Magic that come your way. It’s good to spread them around.
Wintergatan is a band whose creations are described as ‘Swedish folktronica’ in the Wikipedia entry. Now there’s a genre to juggle with.
does it play happy birthday?! have montaged some magic today I think and its special for me -so too is the marvel of marbles
Leave me a link 🙂
my kind of magic but nothing special perhaps

I’ve seen this several times and it never fails to enchant me. Thanks!
It’s mesmerising, isn’t it. Glad to reprise enchantment this a.m. Sarah 🙂
That was fun. Thanks.
Glad you liked it, Sherry.
This is completely new to me…..
I guess it’s interesting , thanks for this share!
priceless…thanks for sharing this
Glad you liked it.
Most intriguing!
Love this and can’t imagine the hours that went into inventing I am going to re-post so my fb friends can see..
I find the inventiveness breathtaking. Glad you’re reblogging it.
Blow me away… Thank you for sharing, Tish!
My pleasure, Amy. It blew us away too. We found it by accident.
Oh so brilliant! Thank you for sharing.

Amazing!
Fantastical! How on earth did somebody dream that up? My head was going round in loops. 🙂 🙂 An improvement, I suspect. Thanks for the smiley Monday share, Tish. I needed that!
Am so pleased to make you smile, Jo, and even more so if you needed to 🙂
Bear with sore head husband 😦
Oh my dear – you have my sympathy.
He’s over it now (or I am 🙂 🙂 )
Sun out from behind the clouds. Excellent.
I’m not even sure exactly how it works. What a miracle of gears and gadgetry!
It is isn’t it? Sort of steam punkish without the steam 🙂
This is a fascinating magical machine. Really fun.
🙂
What a wonderful machine. I’m almost afraid to show this to the Big T for fear he’ll take over the garage trying to build one. 🙂 Magical Monday indeed. Thanks Tish 🙂
Wow. Incredible machine and sound. Magical indeed.
Amazing. I wonder how long it takes to learn to play it!
Or does the learning to play it happen alongside the process of invention? Fascinating all round.
Ooh, Esme Cloud did a post about this amazing thing, too. 🙂
This is too funny, and only a month apart!
That is just remarkable
We keep watching it!
Snap!!

Great minds think alike Tish – I went wild for this when I saw it first and it’s still quite amazing.

Too funny, Esme. Don’t lose track of your marbles, whatever you do. Mine are all over the shop 🙂
