Lately, we’ve been seeing a lot of crystal ball photos cropping up in the #igdc feed. We reached out to a few IG-enthusiasts to learn how the light-and-color-amplifying trick gets played.
Step 1: Buy the surprisingly affordable crystal meditation globe, $15.30.
Step two: Decide if your manicure is nice enough to be featured in the shot. If not, attach the ball to a piece of fishing line (which you can and should edit out later).
Alternatively, you can just admire these photos instead.

Look into the crystal. See the path through the cherry blossoms.
