    _______________________________________________________________________
    At the annual Wimbledon Tennis Championships held every year, there are around 250 ball boys and ball girls who retrieve the tennis balls at the end of each rally. But here is a tennis ball that retrieves itself! And also a giant tennis ball.
    Tim reckons he has about 150 toys that are based around a ball, although these toys do a lot more than just bounce on the ground... although some do bounce in unexpected ways.
    A plush ball and one that looks to be made of resilient rubber. Which will bounce higher? The result is unexpected. Of course it is - that is why these toys are in Tim's collection!
    The 8-Ball - which is larger than life - actually tells your fortune.
    A ball that uses fluid motion to give it an unusual motion when you roll it across the table.
    From 1991, a marble that Tim bought in California. It has a design on it of a map of the world. A bit like a tiny globe. 30 years later, Tim bought another 'map marble' from the same person. The new version is bigger, but also the quality of the graphics has improved too.
    A ball that acts like a yo-yo, but the mechanism is based on an internal spring, so it is easier to operate than a regular yo-yo.
    Then 'Catch Ball' - a plastic ball on elastic, that you can make hop from one hand to the other.
    Finally, something that looks a bit like a beach ball, in a string bag with handles. It is an improved version of the old 'button and thread' toy. Give the ball a little spin to start it going, and then you just pull the two handles and release them at just the right moment, and the beach ball spins faster and faster. With a gentle 'swoosh' as it spins, this toy is very soothing!

    I'm seriously surprised that Tim isn't the curator of some type of museum, he's definitely qualified for such a job.

    The marble globes were a delight to see, as much for the improvement of the maker over 30 years as anything else. Best of luck to him.

    The magic 8 ball was originally marketed as a desk piece, a functional paper weight. It didn't sell very much, so they changed their demographics to children and sold many, I had one about 20 years ago

    Just out of curiosity, are these videos scripted or does Tim adlib the videos? I'm just wondering if there were ever any bloopers that got cut

    • @grandillusions
      @grandillusions  2 года назад +1

      No script. Tim always adlibs. If Tim is not happy, or if we feel something isn't quite right, then we do another take. Many of the videos feature a number of toys, and are shot in a single take; so more often than not, a retake is because one of the toy demos didn't work quite as well as it could have. Tim is very patient, and is happy to do as many takes as it takes!
