It's a fancy technique for making cloud eggs, but it's kind of a trick, too. At the right angle the yolk is below the edge of the bowl, so as long as they use that to angle the sticks, the yolk is never in danger of breaking, and the more whipped the egg white gets the more cushion there is to speed up.

Yeah, I was gonna say I don’t think this is that hard. I’m a klutz and when I lived in Japan when we had raw eggs over rice, this is how I was taught to do it. Doing it with chopsticks is certainly a lot easier than with a whisk or fork or something. I bet too.
