    Tim demonstrates some of his water-based toys!
    Arachnophobes watch out - this spider climbs up the plastic stick!
    Sake cups sometimes have a hidden image in the bottom. A clear glass marble lens on top of the image causes it to distort. However when you pour sake - or water - into the cup, the image becomes visible. Of course after a few glasses of sake, the image might start to blur a little!
    A ceramic cup with a whistle as part of the handle. Just inside the cup is a small hole, and if you fill the cup with water so that the hole is covered, the whistle becomes a warbling whistle!
    A metal cup from Germany. One side of the cup has a thicker wall then the other, so when you place the empty cup on a flat surface, it leans over to one side. However when you fill it with water, the instability is cancelled out, and the cup becomes upright.
    Japanese balloons with very thick walls. You can fill it with water, and it can be used as a kind of yo yo.
    Finally, a toy which appears to be one thing, but ides something else. Called a Crap Shooter, you turn the handle to roll the dice. However when you turn the handle, you get squirted with water. Who saw that coming?

    I see Tim shows a lot of old/seen material.
    I don't see it as a rehash of old content, I see it as an attempt to categorize his toys and make them context sensitive as if for an interactive encyclopedia of old.

      Sometimes we reshoot toys that were previously shot in HD (we shoot in 4K now) and even older videos are in SD (Standard Definition) which does not look so good these days. I think another issue is that while we have over 2 million subscribers, many of our videos get maybe 20,000 views. So it would seem that a lot of our subscribers have missed seeing things. And of course quite a few of our views come from people who are not subscribers, and they may well not have seen previous videos. And yes, Tim does work around themes, so sometimes toys that have been seen before appear again in a different context. Of course, any comments about 'old content' mean that as well as having a good memory, you have been with us for a while, and we thank you for that!

    2:40 That is actually a really cool novelty 😃 For what its worth, the actual effect derives from the fact that the glass used has an index of refraction very close to water. Add water, and the light rays are no longer deflected by the interface, and the shamrock and ladybug become visible. Edit: Although the indices of refraction are not quite the same, so we do get some much needed magnification, but not so much divergence as with the air that we can't see it.
