Tim Rings the Changes
HTML-код

- Tim has a great many rings in his collection, some of them are more ornamental, and some are very practical. But one common theme is that Tim loves toys and other items that do two things, so all of these rings have another function, or use.
The first one is something Tim calls a magician's ring, which he remembers was quite expensive. It appears to have a single green emerald as the stone on top, but the ring will fold inside out, and now it appears to have a cluster of small stones, looking a bit like diamonds, in place of the single green emerald. Clearly this could be the basis of a very nice magic trick!
Then we see the optical illusion ring - place it on your finger, and when you rotate it in one direction, the ring appears to be getting thinner; rotate it the other way and the ring appears to be getting thicker. Quite an illusion. Tim thinks this ring goes back at least to 1895.
Next up, a solid looking gold ring. The design is completely plain, but of course the ring has a trick - it is magnetic, and so it can be used for all sorts of tricks.
Tim belongs to a puzzle fraternity which collects mechanical puzzles from all over the world, and a favourite kind of puzzle with many of them are what are known as Turkish Puzzle Rings, and Tim demonstrates one. The ring consists of a number of smaller rings, and they will all come apart. However it is apparently quite tricky to weave them all back together again. Tim decides against taking it apart!
We then see a ring that has a spirit level attached on the top, in place of a gem stone. The idea is to tell if you are standing up right, or if you are leaning - a bit tipsy maybe? Of course, it is really just a joke ring!
A Canadian magician showed Tim the next one, which is another kind of puzzle ring. The 'ring' actually consists of a fine chain with several loops. Tim shows that it it too tight to fit over his finger. However if you pull the loops in a certain way, the chain re-orientates, and now the space in the middle is larger, and it will fit onto Tim's finger. But if you do not know the trick, it may take you a while to figure it out.
The next ring looks like a collection of fine gold springs, and apparently the idea is to roll it up and down your finger in order to improve the blood circulation. Unusual.
The next ring is made of yellow plastic, and is actually a kitchen aid. there is a small plastic blade attached to the ring, and the idea is you pop the ring on your finger and then hold an orange or a lemon in the same hand as the ring. Rotate the orange, the the little plastic blade will score a line in the skin of the orange or lemon, which will help you to peel it.
Also with a catering theme, the next ring, which has a chunky look to it, is actually a bottle opener!
Tim then demonstrates a ring that has an interesting mechanism; next he shows a mood ring - the stone at the top is hat sensitive, and will change colour according to how hot it is.
Then we see a silver ring which has a smiling mask design on top, but the mask can rotate to show the other side, which is a sad looking mask. These are the masks that are sometimes used to refer to the theatre, with one face referring to comedy and the other one to tragedy. You could also use it as a mood ring, I suppose, a way to show people how you are feeling.
Next up is a ring containing a small noisemaker or siren. Good for parties maybe. Also for parties maybe is a pink plastic ring with an LED in it. As Tim says, there are hundreds of designs with this idea, jewellery that lights up.
We then 'see' a very odd looking ring, which has quite a realistic eye mounted where the stone would normally be. Quite eye catching in its own way, but it has another trick up its sleeve - it is also a tippe top. Spin it with the eye looking down on any smooth surface, and after a few seconds it will flip over, still spinning, but now with the eye looking up.
Finally Tim demonstrates a ring he picked up at a toy fair in Germany back in the 1980s. It has quite a large mechanism that you hide in the palm of your hand, and there is also a key - you have to wind the mechanism in order to demonstrate the effect. Attached to the mechanism is a plain metal ring, and you fit this over your finger. So a casual observer will only see the ring, and not the mechanism concealed in the palm of your hand. Once you have their attention and they are looking at the ring, you squeeze the hidden mechanism and... sparks fly out from between your fingers! It is called the Sparking Finger Ring!
Some years ago, I remember sitting in a Chinese restaurant with Tim, and he produced the Sparking Finger Ring, and tried it on the waiter, who nearly dropped the food. But then the waiter wanted to borrow it, and he vanished in to the kitchen at the back of the restaurant, from where we heard quite a commotion as he tried the ring on the kitchen staff...

Actually worse. I'm reasonably certain it's supposed to be packed with flash paper and when triggered it shoots a fireball 10 or so feet.
@@CrowManyClouds have you ever seen that video of hulk hogan trying to use flash paper in a wrestling match to make a fireball and failing totally?
Only 4 replies!?
Will this man ever run out of stuff to show me?
Magnús Bjartur Ólafsson NEVER! His collections are endless!🥰
Dude! Interdimensional beings never run out of cool stuff
He's a machine, he's not gonna stop buying. But we have to let reality sink in, with the fact one day we will lose this great man.
No. You can’t possibly live long enough to see all the fun stuff Tim has.
Go watch the episode where he does a tour of his apartment. :D
who votes for storytime with Tim?
69 votes so far. Nice
Oh my god yes
What an extraordinary idea
Only gay ppl
Me, that would be awesome!!!!!
That vibration in the beginning was what happens when Tim materializes into the room, displacing the air as he does so.
Marvelous.
It generates a lot of energy. If Tim didn't contain his power, his teleportation could result in creating a supermassive black hole.
Can we all agree that Tim is an amazing guy?
Yes :)
Yes what a sweet guy
Idk, who exactly disagrees?
Yep
@@kegtuwa idk. if you find out i suggest we beat him senseless for bashing our precious Tim.
"If you hold it steady, you will find you are dead sober"
Also Tim: **holds ring with other hand to make it level*
I guess you could say that Tim... Is the lord of the rings.
brickfilms1954 😂
TRUE! XD
hahaha true
On thing is certain. He's preeecious!
*FBI OPEN UP!* 🔫
"A collection of ring boxes"
Oh gosh, don't get me started, Tim.
Love me some fancy boxes.
I love fancy boxes Michaels little kind of delicate looking bags I have like a whole collection of them so yeah
Sometimes when I’m sad I come to see Tim show us his things and it makes me feel a little better.
My heart exploded when he blew the whistle. My volume was all the way up.😭
At least he warned us this time...
This channel is so underappreciated in my honest opinion.
I love the content on it so much.
No, this channel is for people with class and taste....
It has nearly 1.5million subscribers it's hardly underappreciated
I wouldn’t say it’s under appreciated but from what it seems, it’s a niche group of people that watch.
@@MenWithVen but theres very little views for videos of good quality
Has Tim seen the hypno-ring?
It's just a red plastic ring with a swirly holograph on it, but the idea is so novel & fun.
Werewolf Korra oh I get the joke
I was wondering why he didn’t have one of those to show, it’s the first thing I picture when someone says “novelty ring.” I assume they’re too common or something?
The thing that starts the whole captain underpants series?
5:37
Words fail me Tim! Words fail me.
Yes... Very therapeutic indeed lol
Lol😂
I immediately looked in the comments after seeing that lol
I have one of the orange-peeling rings. It works very well. You use the small point to score the peel, and then you use the broad, flat end to pry the peel off the fruit.
That's so useful, i find myself struggling with peeling oranges haha
Ring ring. Tim it’s for you
You actually can leave the bottle opener ring facing down while worn on your finger and open bottle that way. It’s a bit easier.
Ramiro Garcia Spoken like a true expert!
I believe you, sir!
That's how to use it.
yeah that's probably how it was intended
Someone should release a DVD series with a tour of Tim's collection on it.
Or buy online, just something to give him money with honestly
Loved the gear turning ring!
Ren Cen I saw an ad for gearings as jewelry, but his was much more ornate than the ones I saw advertised!
Yes it's beatiful. Looked around because I wanted one, found it but it's a bit pricey.

"Some of these of Rings have another function"
*pulls out Assassins Garrote string from side*
"Delightful"
I was going to comment about how I will be said when this man dies, then I remembered
Legends never die
Those mood rings were all the rage when I was a child, thanks, we love you Tim!
My wife has an amazing mood ring. When she's happy its green. When she's sad it turns blue. When she's angry, it turns my forehead red....
Haha radiation ring
This is the first time I’ve had anything similar to anything nice in Tim’s videos, I have a gear ring I wear everyday. Rather than the linear gear on the outside edge it’s an uninterrupted series of offset round gears. Amazing little fidget.
Uncle, you usually save the best parts to the final of the videos :)
I binge this channel every night. I even fall asleep to it. I’ll wake up at like 4am and the videos are still going lol
I used to have a whistle ring, but blowing it once would get a thing inside spinning and the sound it made increased in pitch as you continued to blow into it, and you could hear it winding down when you stopped. They were pretty fun!
I love each and every one of these rings!
Does anybody else notice how monstrously big Tim's hands are?
Nomal. Maybe your are extra small
You know what they say about big hands....
@@patavinity1262 That they have big ring collections?
@@cambrown5633 That they have collections of big rings
FRFR HIS PINKY FINGER IS MASSIVE GEUDNSDYEIKW
I actually quite like the ring at 3:46 being a "Handy-man" of sorts, both at work, as well around the family. Arranging something that requires it to be straight, it'd be neat to have a ring like that you could rest on the surface to ensure that it's level. Nice one! ꉂ ⓛ⩊ⓛ
Which one is The One Ring To Rule Them All?
I give up !! tell me: Which one is The One Ring To Rule Them All? eh? eh?
In Tim's hands, all of them.
New theory: Tim is actually Tom Bombadil.
I suppose the one that can in the darkness bind them; so the girly heart-shaped one with the LEDs
New video idea, Tim is the best person alive for ten minutes...wait no...that’s all of his videos
I have always wanted one of those gear rings
10:50 - I have found a joke for a police officer in the airport to show.
Tim is an international treasure.
The last one can be extremely useful in an survival situation if you need to start a camp fie, the device is compact and easy to use. I'd like to have one of those
“Then you know you’re dead sober....better have a few more drinks in that case” Oh Tim, you party animal!
I love this channel... Thank you, Tim!
I had that eye-ring as a kid, never knew it was a tippy-top!!! o.O?!
Tim fiddling with his middle finger like that was something i never expected to see 😂😂😂
I've watched your videos for a long time, i say all of your illusions are quite grand
I'm actually collecting rings made from each element on the periodic table and the most novelty one in there is one a friend 3d printed for me filled with gallium metal.I found it's good for that thing with static electricity since its almost like a capacitor
That shake in the beginning was quite a surprise. Heh!! 💍💍💍
Tims videos are so innocent and refreshing I love it
This is why we love you Tim!
Please someone remix the ring sounds at 8:38 😄
Tim seems like such a very nice chap. Everyone should have a Tim. Can I buy one in the shop?
I'm a big fan of tricky rings, thanks!
"You wouldn't believe that"
Tim, you've shown us many a things we probably wouldn't have believed otherwise
Those German pranks are sometimes a bit sadistic. It's obvious that ring could damage the eyes, but I've seen other German pranks that really make you wonder. A friend of mine has this cute little wooden box with a bucolic country scene painted on the side, and the side of the box is a little slide off door. When you open it, a little painted wooden snake with a sharpened needle for a tongue lunges out and stabs your finger.
God bless this man, love you dude
"Here's a curious little ring i picked up in Mordor..."
This man is such a gem
Wow, something finally from Canada! Well a Canadian magician to be exact.
Loved the rose ring box
Wow These rings are so cool and interesting! I wish I had some cool rings too
wait a shop?! I need to go lol
I like the ring of this chap!
The 2 faces ring is very cool ! I love it and i whant it!
Very nice upload this episode❣️
I'm really digging the engineer ring. Wish I knew about it before so we can buy it for a farewell present to one of our engineers who quit.
7:03 wooow. Same woow as the first ring! Impressive design
5:39 Me under the blanket at night XD
This is a wholesome boi right here
after initially seeing all of them i have decided i want all of these
So cool!
Tim could be the richest man. But he keeps everything just for himself and us. Thank you Tim.
Nice play on change ringing. A bell for every ring would be a lot of changes!
We tend to get a new intro every 6 episodes
Finally the new intro
One Tim to rule them all!
I wish Tim did a video on old LEGO things
One Tim to Ring them all...the Gear Ring was the best imo. Thanks fo showing these!
I can’t sleep with out watching your video
Penn Jillette talked about that last kind of ring (a Funken ring) on one of the recent episodes of his podcast, Penn's Sunday School. I don't think Id heard of them before this year, but now they've been featured in two of the things I subscribe to within the past week or two.
His voice is so relaxing
Hey! I have that orange peeler! I used it today!
With so many rings, no one ring to rule them all.
kirby march barcena Spoiler alert! The one ring was destroyed! Gollum and his precious were destroyed in the bowels of Mt. Doom in Mordor... I hope I didn’t ruin the ending for you!
@@carolynnunes3922 NNNNOOOOOO!!!!!!!
kirby march barcena Bwhaha ha ha!
You crazy for this one Tim
Can't believe Tim just showed me his ring.
In the early 90's as a teen i had that eye ball ring .
You don't seam that old by the picture
Me too! I didn’t know did span like that though.
Becca Hanley What happened to it? If it was lost, it sounds like the beginnings of a quest! Yes! A quest to find the eyeball ring!
Hey! Wait...🤔you ARE a princess, right? Caught under an evil spell, so that whoever finds your ring and sets you free gets to have your hand in marriage, right? And half of the kingdom?
Alpha Llama You don’t understand whimsical prose, do you?
You know a toy is old when it's metal AND hazardous lmao
I would die for Tim
This old man is wholesome
Still finding rings at your age,good on you.lol
Who knew that on top of everything else, Tim would be the Lord of the Rings? 😀 (I know, that was lame.)
it's perfect
Me after collecting the last element in ring form:am I a joke to you?
I want that eye ring. Seriously
Everybody gangsta till Tim pulls out a green lantern ring
The level ring could honestly replace "the never worn goggles" in some character designs. Such a nice thing.
What’s the never worn goggles?
Some character designs use protective goggles (of sturdy construction and probably tinted) as a way to show that the character in question is no stranger to self-inflicted dangers. They may be an alchemist, around explosions a lot or maybe even have no clear reason for wearing the goggles.
They are worn the forehead to appear within reach and often used.
HOWEVER when it comes time to use the character in a comic, game or what have you, they are never shown actually using the goggles to protect their eyes, or for anything else.
A fairly recent and popular character design like this is Bennett from Genshin Impact, if you need an example.
@@logonontrily4161 gotcha, I’ve created a few characters like that and it’s always bugged me how some creators never actually use the goggles. They have goggles to protect themselves from harm, they should use them. The only exception to this rule is when characters have goggles that wouldn’t help, ie snow goggles in a flood
I remember mood rings when I was a kid, specifically it was when I was in grade 3 at the latest I think so mid-late '90s.
this is just an excuse to for tim to flex his bling on all of us
I would fly to England just stay with you for 24 hours!
This video gets a like for the first time I've ever heard the word "penultimate" used correctly.
I never understood why tim sometimes makes comments like oh this is more for girls than boys for stuff like the led ring.
I mean he is a grown ass man and he clearly loves that ring, so why wouldn't that be the case for other men and boys?
After if there is something this channel has taught me is that all toys tricks and novelties should be for everyone
10:17 I don't go to THOSE kind of parties. 10:41 The sparking fingering.
Three rings for the elven Tims, under the sky...
Tim, most interesting man in the world.
Great dear
Tim is legitimately real life Santa Claus
Tim saying "Fingering" at the end, what a wonderful idea... XD
Earthquake!
