Figure 8 is a trick by Jason Lee, likely inspired by the very similar Figure 9 by Scott Coyle (2000). Below are links to various versions of Figure 8, each run at normal speed and then 50% speed.

On each Vimeo page, you will be able to download the trick to view. I strongly suggest using Quicktime to view the downloaded videos, as Quicktime will let you go forward and backward 1 frame at a time. This is immensely helpful for learning each trick.
