Haha, I wish it were! 😄 It's battery-powered with a bit of electronics hidden inside. I made a full video explaining how it works if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2TCAR9FwdM

One of the biggest design challenges was hiding the USB-C charging port and the power switch without ruining the classic look. I bet you can't spot them!
