I could imagine Tim coming into a dinner party and all of the gentleman scholars inviting him to their table but he go sits with the kids and talks about toys
I, however, can imagine the the opposite. Him sitting with the scholars and pranking them with his toys throughout the evening in the most educated and discrete way, for the laughs and joy of everyone in the room.
Publick Gamer would still make sense. Subconscious would have something to do with the deeper unaccessable parts of the psyche. Unconscious actions are done without you being conscious about it.
As of February 2017 I have successfully "liked", "thumbs-upped", or "upvoted" (whatever you want to call it) all comments on this video that contain the word "nile".
There's something strangely therapeutic when I watch Tim's videos---Well Grand Illusion's videos....Mostly because Tim's voice calms me down, and the toys he shows are pretty cool, and I love how Tim shows off the toys and explains what they all do. Surely and underrated channel---Well not really he still gets a ton of hits...but I just hope he still remains the same and doesn't change from all the popularity.
I feel the same way. I'm sure he won't change somehow. He just wants people to enjoy all his toys. Like he said, no TV and no computer. It's not like he will be checking the views all the time to make him big-headed haha
Okay, maybe I'm just being a crazy emotional dummy, but when I heard Tim say his he's 72 I started to tear up. Who know's how much time he's got left and idk one day there won't be a new video and we'll wonder why and ugh. It just makes me so sad idk why.
biggestfanever1 he's already said that he's commissioned an artisanal toy maker to turn him into a life-size Jack in the box when he pops his clogs, so fear not. Tim will live on, and you will still get to see him. Briefly. Occasionally.
He uploaded every single day during pandemic from his kitchen, made me smile daily until he was able to go back to his studio, he looks healthier and younger day by day.
Meet the man bringing 20,000 toys back to life on RUclips Tim Rowett who lives with thousands of toys crammed into suitcases in his London flat has become a RUclips hit. "Tim the Toyman" as he's known - has been collecting toys for fifty years. In his spare time he used to be a children's entertainer, and would buy new toys every year for his performances. Now retired, he brings puppets, games, cards and more back to life on the 'Grand Illusions' RUclips channel
I LOVE THAT GUY he sound so genuinly kind and his videos are so great! it also makes good videos to watch before sleep besides oddly satisfying videos!
He's 78 and he's still the same. I'm so jealous of him, I would love to collect the old toys I had as a kid. I did start to a few years ago and my mum and fiancee said that I need to grow up. Growing up is actually depressing. People expect you to forget all the things that made you happy as a kid and will look down at you for wanting to be reminded of all the things that made you happy. I tip my hat to him for doing what he loves and doesn't care what people think of him. That is truly brave and I wish I was allowed to follow my heart and do what I want to in life and not what people expect you to be. Don't ever change Tim, that is truly something I look up to you for and I wish I was as brave as you. Keep doing what puts a smile on your face and warms your heart.
I randomly met Tim in the tube when I visited London last October. Truly a kind gentleman, talked to me for five minutes and gave me a signed business card!
I only recently discovered Tim and his wonderful toys, and he is now on my daily viewing list. I watch two or three videos to wind myself down before going to bed. When insomnia strikes (which is fairly often) I watch a few more. During a recent migraine headache, I needed some kind of background sound to counter the construction noise coming from outside my window. Tim to the rescue! He has an extremely soothing voice, and while I couldn't at that time stand to watch the video, just listening to him talk was very soothing. - - So, thank you very much, Mr. Rowett, for your wonderful, incredible, magical toys!
I watch his videos when I have trouble sleeping, his voice is very soothing… This is one of those times. I should be off my phone now, goodnight everyone!
I can never get tired of watching Tim Rowett demonstrating illusions and toys, the fact is that his voice calmes me down and his attitude is" Extrordinary " :P I wish you more success dear tim and looking forword for watching more of your shows . from malta :)
Why does watching his videos fill me with so much joy Its the purest thing Just a man enjoying his childhood toys and sharing his happiness with everybody
what's cool is he has all these toys and he manges to keep them all you very well organized and maintained I like the suitcases he has very well maintained indeed
The original idea was to have a RUclips bonus video of the full 'Take Nobody's Word For It' so you could click through to watch from our main video. Unfortunately we've not had clearance and to be honest it's a case of getting busy making the next Trending video. I'll chase it up again if there's interest as it's lovely footage 😀
I could imagine Tim coming into a dinner party and all of the gentleman scholars inviting him to their table but he go sits with the kids and talks about toys
+InsertNameHere Awwwww : )
that sounds lovely!
hilarious xD
InsertNameHere I'm not crying, you're crying.
I, however, can imagine the the opposite. Him sitting with the scholars and pranking them with his toys throughout the evening in the most educated and discrete way, for the laughs and joy of everyone in the room.
A child's mind in a 71 year old's body. He is awesome. Not many people can enjoy toys that old and get paid for it.
maybe thats the reason he enjoys them.
water from the nile
heh
+Mathew Morash Ooh, oop, water from the nile.
Mathew Morash 11 months too late
He's not late, its just still pouring!
Mathew Morash can somebody explain this joke to me
Tim is the semi-official grandpa of RUclips :)
badass grandpa
+happy doggo that's hickock45
That's a great uncle from the branch of the family that left for the states.
Slithereenn and his crew
How can one be "semi-official".
This man is a national treasure
*global
*Universal
*Multiversal
A treasure.
*The* treasure
3:16 My god... Its.... Its him... He's so.... Young.... :')
He looks so cool.
He looks like my teatcher
A Carol Volderman
He's like your favorite grandpa. The one that plays with you and shows you the toys he played with as a kid.
The one I never had
the one that died before I was born
I had older ones
Me too. I later found out that I was actually molested, and the toys weren't meant for children, but they were good times.
i unconsciously said wow when it showed tim from 1989.
Subconsciously not unconsciously! xD Unless someone knocked you out, then you said wow?
yeah that's what i meant to say.
"heh"
Publick Gamer would still make sense. Subconscious would have something to do with the deeper unaccessable parts of the psyche. Unconscious actions are done without you being conscious about it.
Wow
0:46 "Sugar which floats, and Tear gas" TIM HAD FUCKING TEAR GAS AS A KID!!!!!
Macing a random person in the face and running away sounds like a hilarious prank!
It's just a prank bro
He should throw that tear gas at antifa
Ted Bundy
They used to play with magnesium too back then...
@@spy8069 Keep politics out of this. Old toys being played with is as far from politics as you can possibly get, so let's keep it that way.
As of February 2017 I have successfully "liked", "thumbs-upped", or "upvoted" (whatever you want to call it) all comments on this video that contain the word "nile".

My feelings exactly.
perfectly stated
😂😂😂 agreed
I feel the same way. I'm sure he won't change somehow. He just wants people to enjoy all his toys. Like he said, no TV and no computer. It's not like he will be checking the views all the time to make him big-headed haha
***** I'm hoping he changes for he better...Not drastically like some RUclipsrs. I dont want him to change in a negative way.
Okay, maybe I'm just being a crazy emotional dummy, but when I heard Tim say his he's 72 I started to tear up. Who know's how much time he's got left and idk one day there won't be a new video and we'll wonder why and ugh. It just makes me so sad idk why.

Still rolling like a king till this day
Same things, but like dr seuss said, "don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened"
He is living in the moment and enjoying it so enjoy it till it lasts
He uploaded every single day during pandemic from his kitchen, made me smile daily until he was able to go back to his studio, he looks healthier and younger day by day.
Tim is everything, and makes me feel so much better at being a child at heart. There isn't anyone cooler than Tim.
no, hes just looks like a very kind person. Shes not exagerating or being overly emotional, hes just a good person
aww having a bad day? What does me expressing what i feel for a channel have to do with girls dating me?
hi you're beautiful
+ruskodisco Pretty sure white knights are valued more than douche bags, I'd prefer to be an honorable white knight myself :3.
Mikoto Misaka -KBHD- Valued by females sure. Though do they end up with these white knight waifu weeaboo? No.
"Heh"
IKR? what's all this "wow" business. It's the "heh!"
+Reza A the OG's know 'heh!'
oh dear
''Heh''
You'll Cowards Won't Even Play With Toys
I LOVE TIM! I have watched his channel forever!
same so addicting
Yea, don't know why though, maybe it's just interesting having a glimpse back to the past with these toys :D
Meet the man bringing 20,000 toys back to life on RUclips
Tim Rowett who lives with thousands of toys crammed into suitcases in his London flat has become a RUclips hit.
"Tim the Toyman" as he's known - has been collecting toys for fifty years. In his spare time he used to be a children's entertainer, and would buy new toys every year for his performances.
Now retired, he brings puppets, games, cards and more back to life on the 'Grand Illusions' RUclips channel
Yes! His toy videos are great, but I wan't to see more about how he got there.
25,000 toys*
"heh"
Goodness gracious. Seeing when he was young
Looks a bit like Mr. Bean with a beard.
I LOVE THAT GUY he sound so genuinly kind and his videos are so great! it also makes good videos to watch before sleep besides oddly satisfying videos!
Without debate, the most wholesome man on RUclips.
heh the documentary, coming soon.
He's great.
Tim and his videos are like Water from the Nile, cause they'll keep flowing forever and ever into my heart.
He's 78 and he's still the same. I'm so jealous of him, I would love to collect the old toys I had as a kid. I did start to a few years ago and my mum and fiancee said that I need to grow up.

Tim is a beautiful man who makes all of us " aging " people feel a bit younger with each and every video!
he is the living legend... I like his videos
I randomly met Tim in the tube when I visited London last October. Truly a kind gentleman, talked to me for five minutes and gave me a signed business card!
This is the worlds most innocent man and I love him
Yay! He finally gets the recognition he deserves! Thank you BBC!
Hehs from the nile...
Heh.
Having watched Tim's videos for the last 10 years has been an absolute pleasure.
I only recently discovered Tim and his wonderful toys, and he is now on my daily viewing list. I watch two or three videos to wind myself down before going to bed. When insomnia strikes (which is fairly often) I watch a few more. During a recent migraine headache, I needed some kind of background sound to counter the construction noise coming from outside my window. Tim to the rescue!

Who doesn't love this little innocent man.
I really like Tim. He's like a delightful grandfather or great-uncle.
This man shows us that toys aren't just for kids
It is nice to see that Tim is finally getting the recognition he and his channel deserves.
I find his videos very calming almost ASMR
Tim cant die. He just, cant. If he does, he didnt and you heard wrong. he is too precious.
Such a good heart👍👍👍
I watch him before bed. It relaxes me. Like a grandfather telling a bedtime story :)
Been watching Tim for over a year now, he's a treasure.
Got this in my recommended,not because I like watching news,but because I watch him
Claric Dox Relatable
The ultimate stress buster! The man for good times and bad! Toys are such wonderful things, and his enthusiasm for them just catches on like fire!
Tim is a blessing to the world. Hope he lives a long life and keeps bringing joy to people 🙏
Tim was on tv years ago with Carol Vorderman, wow, I'd love to see more.
This man is a Charming Wise Elder, and he's given us a wonderful gift. Thank you Tim.
What a delightful man, I hope his collection gets it's own wing in the british museum
Lets be honest now. This man is the purest thing to ever exist on this universe.
His child-like wonder makes me believe again
Fascinating! I love the Grand Illusions channel and it's so cool to see a "behind-the-scenes" view of it
I watch his videos when I have trouble sleeping, his voice is very soothing…
This is one of those times. I should be off my phone now, goodnight everyone!
I love that guy. King of guilty pleasures
He's such a gentle and charming man.
haha this man is amazing.
Fan of him for a long time now. Awesome channel on youtube and soothing videos for your soul
I hope (when I'm old) I can be as wise, entertaining and a child at heart like Tim.
What a beautiful, warmhearted man and to everyone evolved, thank you.
Tim is such a jewel.
and I have prided myself at 22 having seen every episode of his well before now.
its rather rare these days to find people who appreciate these toys that we used to receive from our parents or grandparents
I can never get tired of watching Tim Rowett demonstrating illusions and toys, the fact is that his voice calmes me down and his attitude is" Extrordinary " :P I wish you more success dear tim and looking forword for watching more of your shows . from malta :)
I've been watching you for a while Tim, you are an absolutely delightful man!
This made me so happy

WE MUST PROTECT THIS MAN AT ALL COSTS
A gem in the world, this fine fellow.

thanks BBC, for letting me learn a bit more about this great man.
water from the nile.
Extraordinary
Glad to see Tim getting some airtime. He's such a great guy with a great passion
Tim's probably one of my favorite people on RUclips.
Is there a way to watch that entire clip of Tim on 'Take Nobody's Word For It'? If so, I know we'd all like to see it!
The original idea was to have a RUclips bonus video of the full 'Take Nobody's Word For It' so you could click through to watch from our main video.
Unfortunately we've not had clearance and to be honest it's a case of getting busy making the next Trending video. I'll chase it up again if there's interest as it's lovely footage 😀
+BBC Trending Please do!
+BBC Trending I would love to see it!
+BBC Trending What happened to it?? please upload it!
+BBC Trending there is interest, indeed!
Living legend! Long live Tim!
I love how he has the mellow easy-going attitude of an old wise guy and the enthusiasm and joking nature of a child at the same time.
