Giant cocktail, the 76 ball is the end of the swizzle.

In the rafters, but create an elaborate false ceiling that makes it look like it crashed through the roof.

Dig a hexagonal hole in the floor, line it with mirrors, put strip lighting on the top edge of the hole, mount the ball in there, cover the hole with thick plexi that's flush to the floor. The mirrors would cause the illusion of an infinite number of balls.

Get a giant King Kong statue and have him holding it on a 'string' like a yo yo

Slice it in half, and fab up some hinges and hydraulics that cause it to open slowly and reveal something really cool inside, like a BMW Isetta that's spinning slowly on a rotisserie - off the horizontal, of course, so you could get a look at all sides of the car as it rotates.

Cut a round hole in the wall and have it half in and half out of two different rooms. Maybe figure out a way to make it into a revolving door.
