It is easy to see how it could be quasi-stable,
imagine the darker block at the bottom made of concrete and the rest of a very light construction
but if it truly is balancing on one edge, then it would not be stable against the wind. or a big bird landing on the pointy end, for example.
i.e. I bet it is not free-standing balancing now.

that was my point it is well anchored or well hidden supports.

Sorry folks magic isn't real nor are invisible things in the sky, reality is rather bland yet amazing all in one!
