    I'm not sure why I was surprised that Tim had a smartphone.

      Well he's stated he doesn't own a tv once so I was kinda surprised

      The more time I spend reading RUclips comments the more I realize I move in a seemingly disjointed but closed circle of unrelated content that somehow makes sense...
      I mean: "That was what I was thinking!"

    I love this. Tim wastes no time but packs all the time he can into each individual item while still wasting no time.

    Tim touched a smart phone! Somehow all of space time didn't collapse in on itself, phew.

    • @grandillusions
      @grandillusions  6 лет назад +43

      don't worry - it doesn't belong to Tim! It was on a short term loan :-)

    • @Mimsyborogove923

    Don't ever stop, Tim!

  • @noumenon3020
    @noumenon3020 6 лет назад +4

    I absolutely love this channel! I was wondering, though, in the future could you possibly put links to each of the available products in the video description? I've been hunting for a hexaflexagon pendant like the one in this video for my gf's birthday. I've been unable to locate the artist or something like it thus far. Listed the products in each video (where applicable) could help to sell more items in the Grand Illusions store and support the artists that make them! Just thought that might be a mutually beneficial suggestion, for you and your viewers alike. :)

    Maybe a very large hexaflexagon would make a nice changeable piece of furniture. Perhaps it could be braced for a table base or storage cubes.

    @sproctor1958 3 года назад

    Saw "Hexaflexagon" and immediately thought of John Conway (Omni magazine contributor) and his mathematical "toys" including the folding "flexagons" which also inspired the plot of Piers Anthony's "Orn, Ox, Omnivore" book trilogy.
    Thanks, Tim, for memory triggers!

    I was given a hexaflexagon as a Christmas gift in the 1980's.
    Spent ages contemplating how it moved and thinking whether a molecule could be made to do that, and if so would it be useful for chelating or even for charge or ion transfer, specifically could this topology be used to push a chemical reaction uphill?
    I suspected something based on crown ethers might be possible candidates.
