ZipString: The Gadget That Broke Physics and the Toy Industry

Thinking of the ultimate prank toys or joke gifts? Do you expect whoopee cushions, fake cockroaches, or shock pens? A piece of tech arrives that doesn't just pull a fast one on your friends—it breaks their understanding of basic physics. ZipString, the viral gadget that literally floats a loop of string in mid-air at 35 mph.

The story of ZipString isn't about a giant toy corporation throwing millions into R&D. It started with pure curiosity and a vision to capture "The Smile of Wonderment."

Co-founders Austin MacInnes and Stephen Fazio were fascinated by fluid dynamics and momentum. They asked a simple question: Can you make a soft piece of string stiff enough to fly through the air like a laser?

The Secret Formula: Balance & Speed

It turns out, if you shoot a closed loop of string at high speeds (up to 35 mph / 50 km/h), the balance between gravity, drag, and lift creates a surreal effect. The string balances on air, mimicking your hand movements.

After countless prototypes, 3D-printed shells, and failed tests, the duo perfected the device. When they uploaded their first prototype video, the internet exploded. Over night, millions of people were asking: "Is this real CGI, or a prank?"

It wasn't CGI. It was pure physics.

From Viral Hit to 🦈 Shark Tank Legend

In 2021, the duo took their invention to television's battleground: Shark Tank.

Walking out in front of billionaire investors with nothing but glowing strings floating in mid-air, Austin and Stephen instantly hooked the Sharks. The demonstration was so impressive that it ignited a fierce bidding war among the investors, eventually securing a major deal with Robert Herjavec and Mr. Wonderful (Kevin O'Leary).

Since then, ZipString has transformed from a viral sensation into a global phenomenon, winning toy awards and becoming a top-tier choice for gift ideas for men, kids, and party lovers.
