My first instinct is to call out "fake".. but for some reason it looks real to me... *headexplodes*
Edit: After looking at some other vid's by the same guy/group, I see my instinct was correct - they have a lot of very good made fakes - so this is another one :)
Jebus! If Japan ever wants to invade they can come over on their flies. They are huge!
I don't think it's fake. There is no way to fake the insect movements like that. They look too natural to me.

Flies live for about a day, and they are incredibly dumb. There is no way to train them.
Wow, not only can they train flies, they can do it in record time!
Actually, life span is about 15-30 days. Maybe you were thinking Fruit Flies?
My only thought was that moving their finger over the fly like that somehow confused it into believing that a surface above it was moving and caused it to flip over. Then, putting that ball in their legs made them think they were walking across a surface, when it fact they were just moving the ball.
Of course, it could also be faked.

obviously with the facial expression of that guy, it has to be real.

You guys hear about the U of A researcher that trained bees to be more efficient drug sniffers then dogs?
In the future you may have to walk based the bee alarm at airports~
my bet is small bits of metal imbedded in the fly and magnets under the table to force it into it's back. the ball thing isn't hard at all, once you have a fly trapped on its back.
Yeah, the I'd think that the natural motion of a fly's legs while it is on its back could make the ball trick possible. The fly hypontism part is another story. Whatever it is, its assured since she got 4 flies to do it at the same time, a feat in and of itself. I'm reminded of flea circuses for some reason.
Actually, the shots with the fly rolling the ball could easily be CG. Especially the one with all 4 of them.
Since this video has a lot of hard cuts, there's no telling how much of it could be fake - especially with this low quality video.
I'd like to see the broadcast version.
Still, the "hypnotism" looks like actual footage. Maybe putting flies in a fridge/freezer for a while and taking them out can disorient them enough to behave in such a way?
Actually yeah. You can starve flies for oxygen in a jar and they will look dead when they come out of it, and slowly come back to functioning.
