Setup: stationary camera, table with a large hole and an assistant underneath, a small sheet of smooth, white laminate with a square hole and small trap door to which the bottom face of the cardboard is glued, three sides of a box glued to the laminate around the square hole, pins for hinges in the front face and packing tape as a hinge for the top of the box.

I agree with everything you said... Personally, I think I would move the camera instead of everything else. A maxim I always assume when it comes to magic is that "the trick started before the trick started". That is to say, assume there's some sort of setup that you didn't see.
@@alex.g7317 Well, it’s what I feel when I hear it. Feels like I’m in a bar somewhere in Europe, just having a good time being loud and laughing with a bunch of people in there. Like in the movies; we clash our cups together while singing shanties; with everyone being welcome to chime in. Just feels like a brotherhood, is all.
0:40 -> when you move the box to the right of the camera, we can see some brown in the top left showing, so i think that the box is not on a white table, but instead is glued to a white paper and the bottom of the box is amovible, or harder to do and less probable, the camera itself is moving in the opposite direction. at 0:05 we can also see a dot next to the bottom right of the box on the "white surface" that moves at the same time as the box. I think then that since you move the box to show "there is no hole under de box", there IS a hole to push the balls from below ;)
you can also see that the wall facing us (idk the term) also moved slightly when the ball popped out. we can also see that the bottom is a few pixels shorter when he reveales the ball so 10/10 from behind
This is one of those channels that I watched many years ago when I was young, and then just stopped getting recommendations for. Nice to finally find it again, and I‘m happy to finally subscribe many years later.
It's also attached to the "table", which is just a large piece of posterboard or similar, which slides along with the box. You can see it bulge upward at 0:18.
@@jjohnston94 think that's the camera itself bobbing with the table-coz the whole scene appears to bob up at that instant, think those squishable balls would bounce even worse on a surface that's not as hard and rigid as a table. atleast that's what i think
the time has come again where we all gather once a year for a minute long quirkology video and all it is this time is a box well, until next year brothers
Ive been great! Getting into new things, leaving others behind. Does anyone here have tips on how to get something you really want? And convince someone about it? I’ve tried everything :((
I love that these videos are just as wholesome and entertaining as they were 10 years ago, and not even the music has changed. Its like nostalgia but without having to wait until its gone. Thank you Quirkology! You are a smile in a dark world.
I love this guy. Comes back once a year, forgets his password, finds it in the notepad, posts a video and disappears for the next 13 months. But this time he didn't. Please can someone check up on him?
Comes back about once a year with a minute-long video with the same editing he's been using for a decade; refuses to elaborate any further. What a legend.
I was reading a psychology book and it said ‘Quirkology by Richard Wiseman’ and I thought “wait, is that the guy I used to watch on RUclips years ago? Yes, here we are again.
If this works how I think it does, (the box isn't moving but the camera is) this is an absolutely beautiful use of trick photography. Probably the best one I've seen. We're so used to Quirkology never moving the camera that we automatically believe the box is moving, and the camera moves at exactly the correct moment. So cool.
I'd like to say I love the wholesomeness, genius, and simplicity of these videos. Seemingly simple tricks in a short amount of time that makes people feel they can spare a minute or two and yet want to see more 😁
Let's have a moment to think about Quirkology's ninja hiding below the white panel and pushing the balls into the little brown box. The guy is not mentioned in the credits so I want to tell him that we all appreciate his contribution to the success of this video.
I think there was a flap on the bottom of the box, and the box was glued to some white cardboard or something to make it look like he is moving the box, but you just can’t tell the whole surface is moving
I may be wrong about this. The box has a hole in the bottom where the ball is inserted. In the beginning and in the end it looks like he moves the box but it's probably just camera that's moving
You notice he never actually lifts the box up and just before the red ball appears the lid lifts slightly. The box is attached to the white sheet so you think the box is being moved but in fact they're moving together.
I just finished reading your book, didn't know it was you. It was such a great book, full of fascinating insights on our lives. I thank you for it deeply from my heart
Nothing makes me feel nostalgic quite like hearing quirkology's 15 second piano loop 🎵
title??
@@ianthehunter3532 the title of the video is "The Little Brown Box" 👍
@@ConstantDerivative song?
yep
its actually 16.7s loop. But ye true.
there's an odd beauty to how this channel is aesthetically the exact same as it was in 2012
bro yes.
And 2008

That's the beauty of it!
IKRRRRR
This guy comes out once a year, gives us amazing content and disappears. No controversies no bullshit. Just pure wholesomeness

Good work, there is definitely someone under that table pushing their balls through.

My guess:
The box isn't moving. The lower hatch opens when he closes the box and a ninja/panda pushes those squishable balls through. End.
It's also attached to the "table", which is just a large piece of posterboard or similar, which slides along with the box. You can see it bulge upward at 0:18.
@@jjohnston94 think that's the camera itself bobbing with the table-coz the whole scene appears to bob up at that instant, think those squishable balls would bounce even worse on a surface that's not as hard and rigid as a table.
atleast that's what i think
@@jjohnston94 Yeah, you can also tell at 0:04 where the spec of dust on the bottom right corner of the cube follows the cube when moved.
Even I thought the same thing..!
I agree, I think the camera is panning, not the box.
He’s British. He’s magic. He literally disappeared with a box.
Interesting little detail is that the dirt on the ground moves with the box when he moves the box around.
@Ethan Ansell it is indeed a white sheet, you can see dark colored table in the top left corner when he pulls the sheet at the end of the video
I really need to clean my monitor to notice this one...
@@SpectreXS And your name is spec??
@@moitrayan3255 Feels like an Ace Attorney pun name
Bottom of the box seems to be a flap as well, with the hinge on the right side.

and all it is this time is a box
well, until next year brothers
We dont know if he would be alive the next year tho (I hope he lives long)
@@mnlight8308 why so dark bro
@Mr. Streamer I guess I'm just a negative thinker
*do we have some news for you*
This channel is officially my favorite thing ever
Bro I just found this youtube channel and now I l'm in love with it
I remember always watching the “Amazing bets you’ll always win”. The nostalgia is insane seeing these videos every once and a while
This man was a huge part of my childhood that I totally forgot about I’m so happy that he still posting that honestly makes me really happy
I used to watch you all the time while either eating pancakes or sunny side up egg on toast. Miss those days man
Same here lol.
It's time for the Quirkology family reunion, how's everyone doing?
Good hbu
Ive been great! Getting into new things, leaving others behind. Does anyone here have tips on how to get something you really want? And convince someone about it? I’ve tried everything :((

This channel is so nostalgic to me. I used to watch it probably back in 2015ish and remembered it today. I’m 17 years old and it’s still awesome to me
Good. Same music, same overlay and same epic Quirkology. Welcome back, Sir!
Can we just appreciate that this guys comes out once a year or so and we all have like a big old family reunion
Unfortunately that wont happen again anytime soon...
@@ramadrian248 why? maybe he wants to be vanished 3 years this time
When the world needed him most...he vanished...
One of the only channels that brings me back to 2013; the nostalgia and the good old days. Anyways, see y'all next year.
Comes back about once a year with a minute-long video with the same editing he's been using for a decade; refuses to elaborate any further.
What a legend.
IT WAS SO DIFFICULT TO FIND THIS CHANNEL AGAIN AFTER 5 YEARS BUT HE FINALLY CAME UP ON MY RECOMMENDED
I was reading a psychology book and it said ‘Quirkology by Richard Wiseman’ and I thought “wait, is that the guy I used to watch on RUclips years ago? Yes, here we are again.
i love this. so much nostalgia, same music, same font, same colors, same everything, mind blowing trick.
Only good thing to have come out of 2021.
I miss these videos so much I watched every single video when I was a kid
When I was a young lad I watched him all the time
Same
Especially the "bets you can always win" videos
He left us again 😢
Me and my brother’s childhood!!
If this works how I think it does, (the box isn't moving but the camera is) this is an absolutely beautiful use of trick photography. Probably the best one I've seen.

I truly missed this man and his channels. I used to watch his videos when RUclips was barely what it is now.
Posts videos with same style for at least 8 years now,does a simple non-controversial video and disappears until next year.He's a dedicated man.
rip quirkology🕊 fly high our beloved🥀🌸🌹
i remember watching these videos when i was young, loved them massively
When the world needed him most… he returned
If you're wondering where he is gone, he is using his old channel again called "In59seconds", thank me later.
Woah thanks so much dude
Yearly dose of nostalgia

It’s 4 am I randomly remembered this RUclips channel and had to reminisce. I spent a good 20 minutes looking for it but alas, nostalgia.
lol
Guys he’s done this plenty of times. Give him another year or so
so nostalgic man I missed watching you please come back

YOW I WATCH FROM THIS CHANNEL SINCE I WAS 8 YEARS OLD SAME WITH RICHFERGUSON IM SO HAPPY TO WATCH THIS KIND OF VIDEOS AGAIN .. SO NOSTALGIC
the bald guy from my childhood is back to post another video, see you back in 2030 quirkology
I used to look forward to Quirkology videos. Now they just make me realize that another year has gone by without my noticing it . . .
I think there was a flap on the bottom of the box, and the box was glued to some white cardboard or something to make it look like he is moving the box, but you just can’t tell the whole surface is moving
This man will go down in the history books.
Welcome back and thanks for another mind-bender, Quirk! I guess we'll find out how you did it around this time next year?
This song brings it all back
the music has such a nostalgic feel even though i have heard it for the first time like a year ago
cuphead?
@@Sonicfaimaybe
I REMEMBER WATCHING YOU 4-5 YEARS AGO! I MISSED YOU
i love this music, always brings back memories
I literally forgot about this channel for years and remember yesterday night that it exists the next morning it gets recommend to me
I may be wrong about this.
The box has a hole in the bottom where the ball is inserted. In the beginning and in the end it looks like he moves the box but it's probably just camera that's moving
Her you say?
I'll give you a clue. Try to look for any smudge or dirt on the "table" that moves along when he push the box.
@@DeJass00 yep we're right. The camera moves not the box
@@renofumi28 I'm using phone with swipe it works weird sometimes
@@DeJass00 I spotted something looks like hole cutout on the left side of the box at the very bottom in 0:39

time’s nearly running out for the 2022 upload…
This edit was really well made!
See you next year!
Haha
link pogg
LUL
yeah
You know it’s a good day when Quirkology uploads
Would you mind doing this trick again, but this time, with the clear box?
This will go down in history as an important milestone
He has finally come back.
We can all celebrate
Staying up till 1:26am was worth it
6.15 am*
@@sebanovonpiano6793 no, 1:26am at the time I commented. I'm in the south

The legendary comeback ever.
I wish you could keep posting I love your videos so much omg
Where did he go, nobody knows, but everyone wants him back.
The song never gets old :)

and the cclip is editted...
it can be seen in the space between the lid and front piece.
@@adamfirst3772 no

You notice he never actually lifts the box up and just before the red ball appears the lid lifts slightly. The box is attached to the white sheet so you think the box is being moved but in fact they're moving together.
its an edit!! the lid "moves" because it is CUT and EDITTED!!

Childhood is think he edited the video.
Adulthood is knowing this man is a magician.

@@3viis there won't be any
And Idk why

You say no cuts, but that box is obviously cut. You can't fool me, Quirkology.
where are you my dude, your videos are really good. Please come back.
