I'm a little unclear as to how some of those reactions happened. Unless something happened off camera that golf club at the beginning seemed to move on it's own. As did the globe after the TV smash and a few others. I won't call shenanigans but I would like an explanation for some of those.
Lots happened off camera, although all of the big moves were visible, some of the strings pulling springs (etc.) were either unseen or fast in the background.
The globe, after the TV set is sitting on to pipes, as rails. Before the TV set is smashed, the pipes are parallel. The smashed TV pulls a string, which drops something between the two pipes at one end. The splaying of the pipe lets the globe drop lower between the pipes, and it's rolling downwards, dropping a little height and picking up speed as the space between the pipes gets wider. There are a few power switches here and there, but an impressive amount of it is gravity fed, old school inertia. (And a band running around like crazy off-camera - the adrenaline must have been intense!) And I love, love, love how the device is actually plays a tiny piece of the song.
