Complex trajectories in 3-space, or flying Asiatic snakes

The still photographs are also very good.

Beautiful because it's limited by a recency bias, the ribbon apparatus in rhythmic gymnastics records the last 19 feet of location in space of the attached end of the baton. If we ever teach wand magic in school, a ribbon would be a good way to visualize the swoops which accompany a well-cast spell.
