"Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a lovely toy. Many who try to play it fail, and for some strange reason never get to try again. I guess the puzzle breaks them, heh. I had the lucky chance to try it in my Braavos trip, back in 1997. It took some time to realize that there's no keys, secret buttons or fancy mechanisms. It was all optical Illusions. The toy, however, kept it very real, but 'm not gonna reveal it's secret. Can you guess it? Chaos. What a extraordinary piece it is!. Heh." - Tim
This gentleman is so honest and quintessentially a British treasure. His almost innocent like pleasure in even simple things is so refreshing. A world full of such people would be a rather special place.
Great video as always. Does anybody know where i can get that exact lighter he has? He said it is top quality and all i can find are these cheap ones for 10 bucks.
Ap67 ak in case you didn’t receive the answer yet; Tim once showed of a seemingly endless jug of “self refilling Nile water”. In between objects on the same video he would pour what seemed to be the entire contents of the jug into a pitcher, and say “water from the Nile”. It appeared to keep refilling itself which threw people off and thus the meme was born.
With everything that's going on right now with the world , you just know how to bring one back to happiness Tim , thank you for making me forget how fucked up the world can be sometimes .
You know....I have alot of RUclips channels i fequent....few do I enjoy reading the comments to...in fact theres two only that i can (enjoyably) spend time reading the comments. yuriofwind and grandillusions. Everyone here seems to enjoy talking about the subject at hand and rarely do comments get nasty. There's the occasional old meme or innuendo but...they dont seem ill intended. I don't even dare to guess how or why it's so nice here...but I wanna say: It's nice to have a channel with so much joy, intrigue and delight on and off the video. Thank you Tim and all at Grand Illusions for giving us child like delight and thanks to this channel's fanbase for such a welcoming positive attitude.
When I was a kid in the mid to late 1970's there was a fabulous little joke shop in Twickenham. I used to love going there with my pocket money. No idea what it was called or what happened to it!
Love your videos, as always. Would you be able to point me in the direction where a person could obtain the 2nd (wobbler) and last (spinner) items in this video?
I love you tim! You have the coolest stuff. May I add a piece to your collection? I make modular origami as a fun hobby. I would like to give you my first half inch scale kusudama flower ball. 60 half inch scale pieces of hand cut paper. 20 hours to construct using my improvised tools.
0:56 Aww, bald jokes. Bald is beautiful still Tim. 2:48 It'd be pretty cool to visit other toy designer's shops. 3:38 Be careful with those tim, they've been known to cause fires if not manufactured properly.
Stumbled across this channel and it bizarre bit at least he enjoys making the videos. I can't say anything it was 4 am when I Stumbled across this haha
What version of Microbrew did you make that beautiful Power Pint presentation? I'm on Microbrew 10 and it seems to not be compatible with most Power Pint's.
When i was a kid i had a plastic ball and if you threw it in the air it would turn inside out because of some mechanics in the ball it was very fun because the inside was green and the outside orange
Tim is quite a learnt man, with the beer exercise most people will see it as finger muscles but he called it wrist muscles because in fact there are no muscles on the fingers but rather in the forearm
They have beer mugs, with fake beer in them. The fake beer is just a foam brown liquid in a thin liner on the outside of the mug. No you can look like you are drinking beer, and have what you want to drink at the same time.
"What I love: chaos"
Didn't know Tim was such a rebel
"And here we have this wonderful Valerian steel dagger, which I first saw at the Pentos toy fair about, ooh, 30 years ago now."

Sans Nom Tim would say realise with an “s” and “what an extraordinary piece”
Tim's actually a prolific anarchist and well known to the UK authorities. Wish this was a joke.
the goddess of chaos would be pleased
"Which is what I love, *CHAOS* " ~ Tim
I can't imagine Tim spending just 4 minutes in a toy shop.
LOL; good point!
You mean 4 hours
I imagine he's so familiar with their inventory that he might pop in and have a quick look just to see whether they've got anything new in.
he doesn’t go to them, they come to him…he shops at toy fairs and has inventors and companies contacting him about new stuff
Tim: The only person to make finger spinners look cool
This gentleman is so honest and quintessentially a British treasure. His almost innocent like pleasure in even simple things is so refreshing. A world full of such people would be a rather special place.
Tim might just be my favorite youtuber of all time. This is so entertaining and relaxing it's also just fun to watch.
My #1 is PhilipStephens007
#2 is Grand Illusions
Agree, you'll never finish watching one of his videos without being gratified and happy, a jolly wonderful person indeed.
You are lame. GODSG8
Eman 228 LOL u upload GTA vids
Great video as always. Does anybody know where i can get that exact lighter he has? He said it is top quality and all i can find are these cheap ones for 10 bucks.
Tim you are a legend of youtube videos. I just want to look at your videos al the time. Never stop filming it 👌
Totally love the sphere, it's the most elegant way to break a sphere!
Tim's my grandpa I never had! Woooooooooo!
Tim's new haircut makes him much more professional, don't you think?
Imagine Tim with long hair, like if he was in a metal cover band on the weekends..
heh
Wwoof! Wow!
Thanks tim for uploading loved the spinner, the helix ball was very interesting design.
Alcohol Content: 4.0% Nile
GamingTutor what about Nile jokes? what's the story

Always a great watch.
"I'll have to wait til it's half full"
low key optimist
2:00
Tim subtly hints at his powers of dark sorcery
I was just thinking my subscription feed could use a healthy dose of chill. This will do nicely.
Like the mug...thanks for the video.
Wow I didn't realize I clicked on this video the minute it was uploaded
That spinner lighter is so cool. I definitely want one! 🤯🤯❤️
Man this was the first grand illusions video I watched and every once in a while I just come back to bring back the nostalgia
Tim, now you are a man i would love to have a pint or two with, such a delightful channel, what a breath of fresh air, good health to you sir :)
Here' something I'm sure you're all familiar with
The old wobbler
Classic pick-up line.
That blue wobbling one would make a great cat toy. ;)
Tim is such a sweet man he makes my day everytime
Tim's festival of fun.
Tim finally got his hands on one of them "finger spinners"!
Tim you don't need to keep telling us that you don't smoke, we believe you!
iTrolley no you can hear he smokes weed
Well when you put it that way I don't know if I do...
With everything that's going on right now with the world , you just know how to bring one back to happiness Tim , thank you for making me forget how fucked up the world can be sometimes .
beer from the nile
nile beer
Beat me to it
where did this joke come from id love to know
jordan richards it came from a previous video of his. Not sure which though
jordan richards it’s from a video titled “vases and pneumatic toys” (ik this is a super late reply but in case you hadn’t found it yet)
Tim has the best fanbase, i love this channel
I thought that handle would make more foam :(
Andyboi45 Ew, you like beer foam?
good idea
Now that you said it somebody needs to make that.
DrOdd its exists
Andyboi45 build and patent that shit
Why we love Tim.. easy
You know with 100% certainty that he is just as genuine in person.
Rare nowadays
I clicked on one of his videos a wile back what year is it? I've lost track of time
This was a quite lovely.
I need Tim loved Chaos. He is the epitome of unpredictability
"Which is what I love... Chaos."
Yes! A great video Tim!

Anyone else love this guy and how he acts
Well I must confess a little disappointment here; I was hoping to see Tim throw back a pint or two.
Makes me want to hop on a plane and go gadget shopping in London :)
Only if it's a group field trip of all Tim's fans, and Tim leading it
Well, I'm going to that toy shop in Twickenham now. Might bump into Tim and pick up a neat toy too
" Lots of little chaos there, and that's what I love... *chaos* "
Tim would be a great grandad
Tim is incredibly addictive!
When I was a kid in the mid to late 1970's there was a fabulous little joke shop in Twickenham. I used to love going there with my pocket money. No idea what it was called or what happened to it!
I love this channel
_"...That's what your right arm's for"_ -Tim' Slogan
i love your style tim
Love your videos, as always. Would you be able to point me in the direction where a person could obtain the 2nd (wobbler) and last (spinner) items in this video?
*What an action*
This man was born too be a meme
This guy would make a great grandpa/santa/butler
I love you tim! You have the coolest stuff.
May I add a piece to your collection? I make modular origami as a fun hobby. I would like to give you my first half inch scale kusudama flower ball.
60 half inch scale pieces of hand cut paper. 20 hours to construct using my improvised tools.
ruclips.net/video/7LhpCIOBMgY/видео.html
It would be the one in this video.
Nice spinner, Tim!)
The eternal question: what goes first the toy or the Tim.
The eternal question is: what was Tim's first toy
0:56 Aww, bald jokes. Bald is beautiful still Tim.
2:48 It'd be pretty cool to visit other toy designer's shops.
3:38 Be careful with those tim, they've been known to cause fires if not manufactured properly.
Stumbled across this channel and it bizarre bit at least he enjoys making the videos. I can't say anything it was 4 am when I Stumbled across this haha
Can anyone link the news article where they talk about him?
ruclips.net/video/PrSYERaTq_8/видео.html
you can find links to the articles in the references section of his wikipedia page:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Rowett
Tim is an agent of chaos
I wish he had a twitch for when he repairs toys
i love the idea that Tim had never said anything about comments in his videos, that's kinda cute
Tim should have his own toy company, he could call it "Games Workshop" or something like that.
Tim showing of his legendary fidget spinner again
Tim is a god!
Play on, Tim. Play on.
He got his hands on a fidget spinner guys.
That looks like ice tea with soap in it lol
What version of Microbrew did you make that beautiful Power Pint presentation? I'm on Microbrew 10 and it seems to not be compatible with most Power Pint's.
Amazing channel
2:00 Tim is an anarchist.
Jared Miles need to get one of those toys.
No they're not jimmy.
Jared Miles Yes, indeed.
very true
When i was a kid i had a plastic ball and if you threw it in the air it would turn inside out because of some mechanics in the ball it was very fun because the inside was green and the outside orange
Tim is quite a learnt man, with the beer exercise most people will see it as finger muscles but he called it wrist muscles because in fact there are no muscles on the fingers but rather in the forearm
I found a COMPLETELY different video with the identical description...elsewhere...on the internet. One of those was called a Pump N Gulp too...
Tim is Ashens in 50 years.
Tim can't fool me. He did all that setup pretending he is showing random toys, so he could drink a whole 500ml cup of beer.
Ha if you’re staying over at Tim’s and you hear, whist walking past his door, springs creaking don’t disturb him. He’s just enjoying a quiet drink
Tim probably plays Warriors of Chaos in Warhammer Fantasy
Wait Twickenham?? I was just there!
Where is he keeping all these toys and how many does he have!!
Spinners from the Nile.
Finally a fidget spinner
In Twickenham? Does Tim live there? I live in Twickers too!
I'd love to have a pint with Tim
I want that fidget spinner!
For some reason Tim is the only RUclipsr who manages to still put Fidget Spinners in his Videos without making me cringe
The day Tim passes away is the day the world ends
They have beer mugs, with fake beer in them. The fake beer is just a foam brown liquid in a thin liner on the outside of the mug. No you can look like you are drinking beer, and have what you want to drink at the same time.
*_Heh_*
Edit: I wish Tim was my Grandad
1000 likes! I got that magic number!
I need that pint. I'd have strongest hands in the world.
Chaos is a wobbler
3:35 "i don't smoke"
SHOPPING FROM THE NILE
"That's what I like...chaos" Tim anarchist confirmed.
What would he smoke if he did smoke?
there should be a mechanism that stirs the mug with every pump...
2:01 Tim loves chaos
Where can I get the last toy from, anybody knows please help me out!😊
3:52 ... bit like you Tim ;)
