We’re having a hard time deciding whether Michael Grab is an artist or a magician because he creates stunning structures by rock balancing that seem to defy the laws of physics.
These seemingly impossible structures require intense concentration and meditative focus. In the video below, Grab spends several minutes nearly frozen, making tiny adjustments until he gets all of the rocks’ seemingly defy gravity.
“Over the past few years of practicing the unique art of rock stacking, simple curiosity has evolved into therapeutic ritual, a sort of meditation type, nurturing mental well-being, and artistry of design,” writes Grab in his artist statement.
Scroll down below to check his impossibly cool art for yourself!

Load More Replies...this web site non like any other fills my mind with amazing wonder-filled delight. WOW
This reminds me of Russell Heasley and his stacking abilities when he was very young
It is amazing. I share how stones around the world be implemented. Please see dsuskind.com and let's talk. dsuskind@comcast.net
I guess I'm kind of weird bcz this was unnerving to me. I was just a touch irritable scrolling thru. Smh, i cant explain it
So magical! It's said 'seeing is believing' but it's difficult to believe this!
There is something fishy about this. Some cobstructions are believable, but it would take quite some time & effort to find the right stones
It just goes to show that there is beauty in everyday ordinary things. You just have to find it.
Brilliant!! Something so simple yet beautiful. The pictures are amazing. Thank you.
I think that third rock looks like it has a face when his hands hold it. like a lil rock dude meditating really ;p
It's like he was willing the stones into place. Amazing and inspiring.

OMG!How does he balance them?That's incredibly amazing and beautiful.
I won't believe it until I see them fall. Call me sceptic... That was incredible.
What an awsome skill to put the rock like that... I'm frozen to see it.
So . . . how did you write this article and never mention Andy Goldsworthy? He is the artist who is famous for making just this kind of art.
You are a fool if you think they were balanced and this takes skills :) They were put together by drilled holes and probably metal rod...
haha nope. look up his videos. if you practice you start to learn how he does it. i make similar ones (no where near as good of course)
Load More Replies...i do this since i was a lill kid, i am 33 y old now, and i tell you this: if he isnt cheating, hes carving a resting point to balance ...
He's not. you can see videos of him doing it and he's done live performances with rocks provided. other people can do this too

you can see videos of him doing it, and he's not the only one in the world who can do it. try it, you might surprise yourself
