  • Every two years, Tim attends Gathering for Gardner - www.gathering4g... - in Atlanta, USA. This is the second of two videos where he shows some of the items he brought back from the 13th Gathering (hence G4G13) in 2018. Puzzles, magic tricks, illusions and mathematical diversions...

    Anyone else ever watch Grand Illusions, and think "... this dude reminds me of my Granddad", or "this man is my new Granddad??" .... man's a british professor, and we don't even know if he's getting paid to do this stuff! Just makes videos on collections and friend's collections, all to show us some neat stuff. Tim is just a gem... Never a dull day when I sit down with my lunch and cookies to watch him. 25 yr old me, just letting good old Granddad talk about all the neat stuff in his collection. Never ceases to amaze, or put a smile on my face...

      TY for the reply. But I still don't understand why it is only visible from one side :(

    • @Dr0dd
      @Dr0dd 6 лет назад

      Essentially it's a grid. From one side the grid is printed with the motif, from the other it's not.
      On the printed side the eye focuses more on the printed motif than the light visible through the holes, from the other side it focuses on the holes more than the grid.
      You can see that for example on advertisements on buses (if they extend to the windows). However for this card they used a very fine grid mesh, making the effect even more noticeable.
