There were about 7 or 8 people stacking them, and several dozen stacks where they were working on it, some of greater difficulty, some of less. It makes sense that they would balance on their center of gravity, it's just incomprehensible that they could remain that stable.

I've tried my hand at it without any special knowledge, and my conclusion is that it's at least as difficult as it looks.
