Tim's Disappearing Cigar Trick
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июн 2024
- The Missing Area Paradox is very puzzling - people or objects seem to appear and disappear at will!
From Sam Lloyd's 1895 version, called the 'Get off the Earth Puzzle', which shows 12 warriors around the edge until you rotate the centre part, and suddenly there are 13! How did that happen? Tim then demonstrates a much more modern version, with a bird at the centre, surrounded by eggs and chicks. As you rotate the centre part, one of the eggs hatches. Finally a version with sailing ships.
Then Tim explores sliding versions of the same puzzle. He slightly miscounts on the chimneys puzzle - there are actually ten chimneys, and either nine or ten stockings, depending on where you position the slider. Then a version with sailing boats, where you can have ten, eleven or twelve. Then a very clever version, where sliding the two pieces of paper will give you either five or six faces. However in addition, it also shows their names, five names on one position, and six in the other position. When there are six faces, the names are all shorter - JOE, ROY, LEN are three of them. When you slide the pieces of paper to get five faces, the names are all slightly longer - JOEY, RONALD, ALLEN etc. Very clever indeed!
The next version involves rearranging the pieces of the puzzle, normally there are three pieces and you need to swap two of them, in order to get the 'other view'. From Harry Lange in Sweden, Tim shows the famous picture with the trolls - but are there three or four trolls? Then a clever version with six men and four glasses of beer - surely two people are going to miss out? But no, swap the top two pieces of the puzzle over, and now there are five men and five glasses of beer! Next, we have Alice in Wonderland, looking up at not one but five Cheshire Cats; however rearrange the top two pieces, and now there are only four Cheshire cats; but hang on... what's that in the middle? Ah, it is just the smile that is left from the vanished cat, just as the smile was the last thing to go in the original story by Lewis Carroll.
Tim explains that people knew about this kind of puzzle at least 250 years ago!
Next, a puzzle with three moving pieces. It shows a group of children on a trip in the mountains. Initially was can see that there are eight children. However rearrange the pieces and now one of the children has gone missing, there are only seven now. Oh dear...
Then another illusion or trick maybe from Sam Lloyd. The picture shows two horses, back to back. On a separate piece of paper there are two cowboys. You have to place the strip of paper so that the cowboys are sitting on their horses. Initially it looks impossible, but that is only because the solution is counter-intuitive. Tim shows us how it is done! And then another version with hands stroking cats.
Finally, Tim's pièce de résistance, a toy he only got very recently. It is a large ceramic ashtray, with a number of cigars balanced around the edge. But how many cigars are there? Is it six? Or maybe seven? No, I think there are eight! In fact, by rotating the centre part of the ashtray, you can have any of these options. Tim's magic cigars!!

I love how each puzzle has a story to it.
Same me too i use to watch him😊but i kinda forget him😢😔
@@Iceguy-vv4nh ???
@@bread9276 yea same Idk what his brain is doing but it isn’t working.
Everything and one has a story you just need to solve it
I wish he was my dad
15 straight minutes of Tim??? What a wonderful day!
I wish this guy lives many more years.. he reminds me of my grandpa.
You're acting as if he is going to die tomorrow
That was kinda messed up... Jeez...
He's in good health stop acting as if he only has 5 years left
Ye
I hope you live many more years too.
The horse riding one still boggles my mind every time I look at it. Good show Tim!
I did enjoy the horse puzzle, however the trolls were my favorites.
had to watch it a couple of times before i came back from dr. strange multiverse
I still don't get it lol
@@JotaC surely is trick of the mind...but the key is
1. the first orientation how the horses are apparently drawn (the false drawing)
2. the missing piece added, (the real drawing of the horses' body), which also changes their orientation
...given these two changes the horses perspective from hunched back lying to active galloping
"This puzzle is no more than 10 or 20 years old, so its quite modern"
For me a month max is ancient 😂
I mean that is 2000s - 2010s which is fairly modern
Hey now I'm 32 so 10-20 had better not be old, otherwise what would that say about me?? 🤣
2011 or 2001? I don't know what else you'd call that but modern.
Humans be puzzling since before christ
These puzzles suddenly made me recall one of the mysteries in a Japanese detective comic series titled "Case Files of Young Kindaichi" where the characters discover six mummified corpses who were victims of a house fire, all of them mysteriously are missing some body parts. The protagonist later solves the mystery and reveals that the corpses were actually deliberately dismembered and rearranged from five victims to make it looked like there were six corpses altogether, when in fact the sixth victim actually survived the house fire.
yo that’s awesome where can i read that?
Spoiler
Do you western nerds ever stop talking about Japan, you can’t stop including it in everything
@@omisfitso it is something that relates to the video, the story has a similar concept to the tricks in the video it just happens to be from Japan
@@omisfitso We won’t stop, sumimasen / not sumimasen
Gush, I can't express how amazing it is to see Tim back in the studio again doing his thing and showing amazing toys. 😊
Ps. 9:58 I had one of those Wonderland scenes when I was a kid and loved it very much!
I agree 100% i didn't like gamer Tim but I like studio Tim I feel like crying
@@limb.dondototohasstartedso7288 well I wouldn't go that far.. I actually miss the daily uploads sometimes. Although, as someone who watches all his uploads, committing to a weekly upload is a lot less pressure than the dailys.
@@mamuteddymad I agree 100% i didn't like gamer Tim but I like studio Tim I feel like crying
I didn’t even realise this was new, indeed amazing to see studio content Again!
@@limb.dondototohasstartedso7288 gamer tim was legendary
"shows a number of "warriors" all around it..."
Aww tim ya cant fool me!
Ha I know right? I was like “well he DID say it was from the 1800s!” 🤷♂️
I also like how subtle the title is: GET OFF THE EARTH! >:(
Chinaman- the least offensive of all the racial epithets. Literally "man from china."
Unless it's a woman then you say "chinaman-woman"
That was the most interesting of them all.
Took me until the school trip for me to realize that it's just the infinite chocolate bar again
Yeah I realized when it was the 4th or 5th one with the rocks and the sunset 🌅
You ain't the smartest fella out here, ain't ya?
Due to the number of times Tim gently counts upwards for us in this episode, this video has quickly become a favorite sleep aid of mine. I just imagine he's counting sheep for me and I'm out like a light.
Why does this man's voice bring utter joy happiness and calm to me?
ASMR before it existed
@@owenmason8437 ASMR as a concept has been around longer than Tim's channel. Unintentional ASMR is what you're probably thinking of.
I think it's the amount of joy he has for the puzzles. "Oh look now there is more spaceships, isn't that wonderful"
Well... I guess I can't argue with that. It's beautiful ❤️
I just watched another Grand Illusions video from back in 2013. THIS MAN DOES NOT AGE!!
You are right! I was watching these and thinking it must be an older video, and bam posted in 2021..
His videos are so heartwarming, being one of the few things that can make me genuinely happy (:
so good to see Tim back in his element :)
12:26 That looks like it could be a plot device in a horror film. Eight children go out, only seven come back. The returning children are eerily different, somehow. Cue the paranormal investigator/desperate parents fighting against a malicious supernatural entity and at least one set of parents who want to keep the new status quo.
Reminds me of the book House of Hollow
The split chocolate puzzle that gets you an extra square of chocolate uses the same principle as well. I also heard about people that were pizza deliverers that would cut pizzas before delivering them, in such a way that they would get free pizza pieces without the buyer knowing it
I have an idea…
One of the most wholesome channel on this platform. Thank you for bringing the fun for how many years now!
Daily, lower quality, short videos vs rarer, HQ, longer videos. Tough choice, but i think i prefer this.
But damn, going from 6 to 8 cigars is crazy O_O
rip to the poor kid who won't get their christmas gift in 4:55
Jup...
Really glad you're back in the studio, Tim. It's great to see you can finally get out and about.
He's like the Pyro without the gas mask
The 74 dislike must be miserable people because these videos are awesome. Cool toys, gadgets, gig items, and plus you learn and see something you never knew existed , how could you not like it.
The cigar puzzle looks beautiful. I would like to have it as an art piece at my house
Right!!??
Brilliant. Glad to see you back in the studio.
i accidentally read "tim's depressing cigar trick" in the title.
Lmfao.
lmao
But do we really laugh anymore when we type "lmao" or "lol"
@@CorelUser its like expressing an emotion.
Glad to have you back in the studio Tim, blessings and best wishes.
This man makes quality toy reviews. Good commentary, patient, good humor, no weird music.
Just perfect
Seeing you back in the studio makes me feel like things are just a little more normal.
Every single wedding ever hosted was a lie because this man, in fact, was the best man.
I can't express how happy this made me! Thank you for your passion! ALL THE BEST TO YOU!
With this lock-down everytime I watch his videos I feel like I just travelled to a new country and came back with a new souvenir
Im always happy to see you share more of the collection. Thank you.
Nothing like unwinding at the end of the day by listening to Tim, just what I needed!
So happy to see you back in the studio, the camera and audio quality is appreciated.
I love the way he never stops finding interesting stuff for us for a literal 13 YEARS!!!
So glad to see you in the studio. Great episode.
This is peak RUclips content. Thank you and stay safe Tim!
Back in the studio !! We missed that toy table ! Thank you Tim.
Those puzzles where very interesting. I love how many different types there are. God bless you Tim and stay safe.
These videos help me sleep better. You're voice is very calming sir 😌✨✨
"What good news for mom" bro, this dude is adorable, and this channel is just a delight.
Hats off to this man for putting on a suit and tie each video just to show strangers toys.
Awwww, I love this show))
Tim, you are amazing and never cease to give us amazing things to see and enjoy. Im so glad to see the studio again. Thank you for this great illusion and good day
I love how your still doing these videos. It has stayed purely wholesome since day 1.
Glad to see you Tim :) always a treat to watch!
Tim always brings light to my inner world. Thanks Tim, you are great.👍👏👏👏😁
Glad to see you back Tim!
This is my favorite channel on RUclips
I'm old, but have not seen any of these before. Thanks so much for a delightful moment!
Another great video Tim - so good to see you back in the studio!
Love how Tim is back in the studio. Hope he is doing well!
This channel feels like a channel from 2012 RUclips. But it's a modern channel. And amazing unintentional ASMR at that. I love it so much.
My grandma totally has all of these things stuffed in her house somewhere
This feels like exactly the kind of stuff she’d own
I have to admit I kind of miss the daily videos. Sometimes I would start my day with them others I would wait to end my day with them. I felt like I had a small visit with my favorite uncle every day . I am happy to have this nice long video though.
thank you Very much! I was thinking about these kinds of puzzles about a week ago and couldn't remember the names, then you post this 👏.
Remember that time this sweet old man who collects interesting toys and puzzles brought out a buttplug and was completely oblivious because he's literally the sweetest human being.
The puzzle with alice and the cats would be a nice art for a LSD sheet
Back in the black! Good to see you in studio.
The ladies know all about 'Tim's Disappearing Cigar Trick'
Excellent collection, Professor. Excellent.
Bob Ross but puzzles. I always very much enjoy your presentations and calm, but joyful voice.
Very nice, thanks for sharing these, especially the last one.
In the states I have never seen one of these, but we used to have alot of folding ones - multiple flodings in at multiple places revealing different pictures, as I remember from childhood, and it was like the Mad magazine fold-in back page in every magazine, but a bit more multi faceted with different stories with the changing image. Good stuff.
i really appreciated the subtitles sir
Loved this video. Love this channel.
I love seeing you in ur studio again
That's one of the oldest tricks around. The moment I saw it I realised what it was.
But I always get surprised by how long it takes for people to notice how it works when I show them. The best type of trick, simple and effective (and you can leave people trying to guess how it works).
Do you know what this trick/illusion is called?
@@Bunny2086 Tim says in the beginning, Missing Area. I imagine if you look it up you would find some.
Thanks for sharing these pictures.
I have not seen your videos in 6 years and I was waching RUclips and I thought about you so happy to see your till doing RUclips
I really enjoy Tim's videos!
same here
The description is absolutely joyful to read ☺️
Happy to see you in the studio again.
love to see that tim is finally back in the studio
Excellent collection!
Glad to see Tim back in the studio
This just reminds me of things my grandma would show me the way she described them and the stories behind them I love it thank you
Love that cigar toy!
Tim, the wizard of mystery and the miscellaneous
I think this is the only type of puzzle I actually hate. In every incarnation I hate it. At its best it goes from a series of things to a series of mangled things and more usually it just goes from one set of mangled, incomplete abominations to another to another.
they hurt my brain. i remember that one stupid triangle puzzle. i feel like it's cheating, it asserts things that aren't actually true.
@@KairuHakubi Yeah, its another version of the "missing square" puzzle which relies on your inability to tell the difference between a 20.5 degree angle and a 20.7 degree angle. Now I just hate all triangles and most squares.
It’s so nice to see him back at the studio
Now that's an idea for a greeting card
The one with the ships makes it the most obvious imo how the trick works, the horse one is always a classic but the sculpted ashtray is amazing! Having it in 3D makes it even more perplexing.
Im so glad you are back in the original room
Short but entertaining, keep the good work up lad!
Grand as always
Good Show, Tim!
Next : Tim's self disappearing technique
Thoroughly engaging
I always loved these kind of puzzles. Probably because the are hard to figure out
I love your chanel and videos!
What a lovely idea
nice to see tim back in the studio
Truly a brilliant start
Only a little bit in and I’m already missing the daily uploads
Great video Tim!
He’s back in the black room! Cheers Tim!
Tim repeated "where did he come from" several times so I thought he would end up singing "Catton eye Joe"
Don't worry, my brain was singing it for me🙄
My brain has been singing it since yesterday. God, make it stop.
Catt on the cotton?
To be honest I dont know English spelling at all so I have to guess every time. But the good thing is my pronounsiation is bad too and I don't know grammar eather.
Glad to see you are back with your camera man
dang another awesome vid. continue with the good work
Welcome back to studio !!
