It continues to fascinate young and old alike with its mysterious force that seems to defy gravity.

Flip over tops (often known as a The Tippe Top) were originally invented in 1950 by the Danish engineer Werner Østberg. His inspiration can from a visit to South America where he had seen local people playing with a small, round fruit. When they turned it by the stalk like an old-fashioned spinning top, it would spin for a second and then invert and spin on the stalk.
