Syncronization
This isn't, quite, the "grass growing" clip it will appear to be at first. The excitement starts to mount around the 2min mark and hits its apex about 30sec later.
Pay attention to the 2ed metronome in the last column.

pay attention to the table where the metronomes are, its moving, forcing them to sync.

I was waiting for the table to collapse when they all got synced up.

This is the basis of having a column of marching troops break step when crossing a bridge. Which is actually a recent phenomena given that iron / steel was not used widely until the mid 19th century. There's a story of a French column wrecking a bridge in about 1850.

At the 2:30 mark, watch the WUvian metronome, second row, right hand column. It is opposite of the rest. The Stone Ponies' Differant Drum is on youtube.

Very cool phenomenon.

As anon noted, the table on which they all reside is also moving, slightly, reinforcing the period to which they all swing. No magic here, just physics.
