Making of Mr Bean

Temperature was 33°C and humid.  We were chilling down under the shade of a restaurant with cool beers and juice,  listening to a street performer/musician's mesmerizing rendition of Mozart's Magic Flute. Well, watching the world passing by until this caught our attention.......................................  A camera with a mini tripod attached, balancing on a soccer ball and the ball in turn was in a basket on the back of a bicycle !!   

How did he do this ?

While walking through the Viktualien market in Munich, I saw this (DING).  There was nothing else around him.  Looked like he was floating.   What happens when he let go the stick ?

Have a closer look.  Can someone please explain leh.
