Matryoshka Doll Theremin

What the hey? Witch! Witch! Just kidding--there's no magic to what the people in the above video are doing. They're playing the theremin, a Russian instrument invented in 1919. Metal antennae inside the doll sense the position of the player's hands and create an eerie sort of sound with radio frequency. One antenna controls the pitch and the other the volume. According to Wikipedia, Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin has been known to use a theremin in concert.

Now you know!
