Scrambled boiled eggs

A couple days ago I saw a gif of someone spinning an egg inside a sleeve which resulting in a beautiful evenly yellow egg after boiling.
I thought it was genius and tried to do so myself. 
So I took 3 eggs, spun them around in a shirt sleeve like I remembered the man from the gif did. I even put every egg inside a plastic bag so if it was going to break, it would not be all over the shirt. Unfortunately while I was spinning the carefully wrapped egg I accidentally pushed a carton with 3 unboiled eggs on the floor resulting in a big mess on the carpet...
And for some reason the three eggs I boiled turned out absolutely normal, not scrambled which I was hoping to achieve. 
The next day (because 3 eggs a day is already more than I would usually eat) I decided to search for the original "how to" video, which I found here. The instructions are very clear, so I tried it once again, spun the egg around like crazy for a few minutes. Nope, nothing happened besides the shell breaking.

After a few more regular eggs I went to read the comments under the video and found that there is a new method, described here. Now this looked like something powerful so I decided to try that instead. 
I found a thing left by previous owners of this house (I have no idea what it is) which looked perfect for the egg-spinning. 

 10 minutes of spinning (I consider it a workout for the day) and 10 minutes of egg-boiling later...
Nope! Still a normal egg!

I don't know for how long I can keep eating so many eggs - I just want one beautiful yellow scrambled one!!
