A cool video has emerged of a man balancing an egg on a newel post.

The footage, captured in a home in Pennsylvania, US, earlier this month, shows a man managing to get an egg to stand upright on a pointed post at the end of his staircase bannister.

“Every equinox, as a tradition, I stand eggs on end and send pictures to my family and friends,” the man later wrote online.

“However, I decided balancing an egg on the counter was boring. I walked by the newel post, and thought hmmm maybe I could balance the egg on the top point. I did it without much effort, but all I had was my cell phone at the time… so I snapped some shots with my cell phone. I sent the picture to my sons and the one posted the picture on a picture sharing website. It had over a million hits in about 24 hours. People were posting comments saying it was possibly fake. So I thought with the help of my wife, we would create a video, 3 days after the equinox to see if I could get it to balance. Again, I managed to balance the egg on the newel post. My son said, "Dad out did himself this year".”
