Scam School I love it like I love this show
It's great fun. Made my own mead using my Dad's brewing stuff. Tasted great. Cheers!
This trick needs to start by saying, "Gather up a bunch of your dumbest friends, because this trick won't fool anyone with even the slightest bit of math skills."
How are people so stupid lol. It instantly slapped me in the face when Brian said count your rows that there was overlap
I understood this trick wayyyy too fast. As soon as they said 40 coins... I knew the corners were counted twice.
I love all your videos but this one has not blown my mind... not at all :( it's to obvious... or am I wrong?

I kinda thought so too. Immediately I was thinking they were counting the same ones twice. The others might have been to drunk because even after it was explained they didn't seem to quite get it.
I didn't even know what the trick was yet in the first part when they counted, but immediately I was like that's not actually 40... Why did no one bring that up? 4x10 does = 40... But not when everyone is double counting. I would have immediately asked too many questions or pointed out, no we don't have 40 coins. Because simple math says we don't...
Then the rest of the time while doing the trick it still just stick out what was going on. I wasn't sure on the exact moves he needed vs what spot they put it in, but obvious what was happening overall
I tried it on my old friend when I met him after 2 years...he had finished college by then. And apparently he had done his phd in math......and hence this did not work on him.....when I asked him how many coins were there.....he immediately replied 26.....so that pretty much ended the conversation about this trick......😝😝
1:44 "Ill pay you for your appearance" It's funny because it's true...
I definitely see would as well 😉😎
I don't think I have any friends dumb enough to fall for this. Maybe I could get my 8 year old sister to fall for it, but that's about it. Thanks Brian for teaching us a dumb dad trick.
Joseph Birch you're... Welcome?
Joseph Birch Or you don't have any friends that you get drunk enough with.
Scam School hey he jealous
iSlupi realistically hes probably either 9-11 or has nothing better to do with his life than comment on a video something that is trivial. if you want a good trick check out the other 500+ scams
+Scam School if you farted real loud would that help the trick? or just clear the booths? lol
Dunno why you get so many downvotes. I think the videos are very entertaining and you can skip the commercials. The only thing is that you should think about a new haircut! (;
I thumbs downed this video because this trick sucked... they did it 900 times and it just got annoying and repetitive. This couldve been done in 5minutes yet its a 20minute video. I love scam school but this is just poor compared to their usual stuff. And he does have a hair cut check their latest vids
Keep in mind, it is nearly two AM as I am typing this.
I just watched it, and whenever he said you each get your own row, I thought, "But they have the same corners"
I thought that, but it didn't really click because I didn't know how the scam was going to play out, and I haven't slept in 20 hours. Plus, saying 4 times 10 is 40 is a really great distraction, because it makes everyone think that there's 40 coins.
Everyone is saying that it's too easy, and maybe. But you also know you're watching scam school. You've come to learn the ways, and to think about this logically. However, the people he does it with knows that it's a scam, but they're there to play the game, to have fun with it. They aren't necessarily figuring it all out from the start, especially since they don't even know how the game is going to work.
Not saying it will fool everyone, but you'd be surprised at how many people will overlook things if they don't know what's going on.
Too easy. Got it immediately
Thanks 😂 I got my whole family getting pissed at me. Lovin scam school, keep em comin.
the saying '4 x 10 = 40' is unnecessary for the trick, and in fact gives the game away at the get go.
How
Explain
Because as soon as he said "4x10 = 40" a lot of people will see the error in that statement. After that it is a small step to figure out what is going on. If he hadn't said "4x10=40" I could have been fooled by this, because the addition of the extra coin should have made one of the rows = 11.
the point is to get them to say 4 rows of 10... 4 rows.. or times (4 x 10) .. it's brain games. You say it, and your brain accepts it as so.. 4 instances of 10.. one instance on each (row/side) It's simply a mind-game. Then when he "ADDS" the extra coin, your brain thinks.. 4 instances of 10.. he added one so one (row/side) has 11! then it just repeats.
@Mazingmagicsupreme thanks! Keep watching for more
13:24 there's only 9 in that row but he tried to play it cool and say there were 10. Lmao.
lol this is so fucking true idk why im watching this shit tho
Me neither, most of these videos are cringey as fuck.
+Retz tbh the most cringey thing is that fucking hair omg can he grow the fuck up
HX RX Yeah, when he switched over to having normal hair the quality of his videos went up 10 fold, I don't know what the fuck he was thinking having that hair style in this day and age. He's just 15 years behind.
+Retz atleast he is normal now lmao
4 x 10 does indeed equal 40, however the set-up of the coins in a square meant that, though there were 4 rows of 10, the coins placed in the corners were all counted twice, so the equation 4 x 10 did not actually apply.
Wow these people need to go to middle school math again
How can they be so dim as to think that they counted 40 coins at the beginning, when it's obvious they're double counting the corner piles?
Ok, so your saying the people in this video are dumb, yet you can't even spell the word 'dumb' ( you wrote dim) so technically you just made fun of your own kind
cuz' each of them counted their own row. then brian mentioned 4x10= ....and for you, 'ofc you'll know it's not 40 cuz' your counting all of them as one.
Kirsten Fallon I didn't mean to write dumb. I meant to write 'dim', as in a light that's not very bright. Maybe it's a UK saying and you're in the US?
"That is not 40 coins" is what I said from the beginning. Plus I saw that no one placed on the corners. Lame!
As soon as he started I already knew the trick without knowing I knew the trick xD. When he said 4x10=40 my brain immediately went "But he counted those coins on the corners twice?" so once he started the actual trick and I noticed him grab one of the coins from the corner I naturally subtracted that coin from that row, which I already had categorized in my mind with a variable. (For example A, B, C, D, but I didn't really fill in actual letters at first glance, just the ways the rows looked visually and used that to sort of make a new letter) Then once he grabbed a coin from a corner I categorized each corner (lower case a,b,c,d) and each space in between each corner (w,x,y,z) then decided B-c=x+b, A-b=w+a,C-d=y+c and D-a=z+d where A,B,C and D always = 10. So when the second "extra" coin was placed I knew what he was doing and where he would place the coin from the corner, and which corner he would take from. (Say I add a coin to row B, making B = +1 more than before making B=10 false, So if I want to keep the statements above true, I would have to subtract 1 from c and add 1 to x or subtract 1 from b and add 1 to w.) And I assume that's basically running through the magicians mind at the time when he or she is doing this trick.. only explained through reason and memorization rather than words, to speed up the time a bit.
So congratulations I guess to any small child who has done this trick, you've just used algebra without even knowing it!
I caught on at the first time, but it was actually something he said that gave it away to me. "4 rows of ten equals 40," but since the corners are counted twice there aren't actually 40 coins. Since I had that in my mind, easy to figure out what was going on
tip number one.
dont hint at "40 coins" or ten times 4 or "add all the coins up" bc thats where people will pick up on trickery, like much of us did. bc really all that matters is the fact that the number of coins appears to stay the same although you're adding more
the more "information" you give, the more the audience has to be skeptical towards.
You can start as low as 24, and the highest number coins allowed is 36. So you could do the trick actually 12 times in a row. You might want to watch the trick again but you should be able to place a coin every time until the coin exceed the number of 36. It doesn't matter where the coin is placed but how you manipulate the rows.
I was really confused to where the trick is, then looked into the comments after the “reveal” and most people knew that. There is still some faith for humanity 😂
Do you guys realize that you are supposed to do this trick around drunks? When people are drunk, nobody wants to do math.
This is the only video where the top comments aren't 'bout skipping the adverts... Progress!
Actually, the number can be as low as 28. If the participants insist upon adding coins only to the two diagonal corners that start off at a value of 4, then the total coins cannot exceed 28 for it to work. However, with a "random" distribution, the trick should quite often allow for the absolute maximum of 36 total coins. Thus, the most coins one may add before the trick will no longer work ranges from 2 to 10 depending upon participant coin placement.
For a person who is familiar to elementary school math this is too easy. Not a scam/trick/magic. :D
Indeed, this is so obvious what is being done right from the beginning when you are told to count both corners so there are piles that are being counted by two people.
This is the only time I caught on to it and it's awesome!!!
Max Power well done!
Andrew Dahlgren Someone got bullied as a kid...
i dont understand why he says theres 40 there in the beginning when there isnt....they all 4 share corners. so they are double counting some of them
I noticed that at the very beginning . Cant believe these people got tricked
+Scam School... I did this trick as a 'thing to do' with my former coworkers and got them connected during all lunch time. It's really good trick but not for impress people (I think) but for entertain them for sometime while you make some conection with them... Anyway, thanks for the trick jejeje
agreed! It's a clever novelty for sure.
Miguel Guzman Conde plm
As I said in the interview, I watch every episode and love the shoe Brian!
I figured this out so fast. It was so obvious that 2 corners in the same row was counted twice.
that was amazing. i knew in the beginning there were less but totally forgot like, immidiately
Agreed. Understood that on the first sight
Is it just me that got the 10x4 bit right on way but didnt quite figure out the rest?
You dont get the 4x10 part if you don't understand the entire thing
+Todd Rieger ~He means he caught the error in saying "4x10=40", yet didn't figure out until it was fully explained.
Same with me, but then were not sitting at the table, we are watching a video.
+Nejc Štanfel Same, I instantly thought it would be 8 + 8 + 10 + 10, but I didn't quite get the significance.
I do have one question about this trick. How many coins can you add (one at a time) to the rows before the trick 'breaks", meaning you can't get the rows to equal 10 anymore no matter how you try?
I think most people could immediately figure out that there weren't 40 coins total to start with. But here's another question for you, how many times can you play this trick consecutively before it fails? (ie. there must be 11 coins in one "row")... think about it
This trick is a great physical representation of a buffer system.
Chick was really trying too just try and take the change for the parking meter. Classy...
I was not drunk enough for this one. I didn't think there were 40 coins from the start and I figured there was some sort of algorithm. Still love the show.
Note: this is before I see the solution.
He moves one from the corners into another spot each time. Each corner will count twice. One time for each of two sides.
Hey Brian: Where do you get all your tricks from?
right away I'm thinking.... there's not 40 coins...
i like it when brian says " DOH!" at the begining
My friends would immediately start counting the total coins.
as soon as he said 4x10=40, I knew that was wrong, and I also noticed that he always moved one from the corner, so I had it pretty much figured out at the end.
Its really easy to figure out, because youre all watching to learn it. to figure it out. if you do it to someone who is off guard and you do it to a group who isn't really trying to figure you out then it will work better. If you can use your theatrics and misdirection with how you explain the rules then it works better than saying
"theres 4 in each corner and 9 in the middles"..."take one out...watch me count...woah?...yeah"
He be at the barber like..
Barber: So sir how do you want your hair?
Spikey hair dude: Bart Simpso.....
Barber: Nuff said!
This trick is so much better if you do the same set up, and essentially the same execution. But instead of adding coins, you remove them and put them in your pocket.
I don't catch every single trick immediately, like what 100% of those posting comments claim. In fact, I tend to miss just about all of them. This, however, is a clear exception.
haha the minute i saw the coins lined up in a sqaure shape i knew what the trick was, my dad did it to me when i was young and it freaked me out!
TROLL Face skip ad! And thx for the skip intro!
What happens if they all put it in the same pile? Since you cannot touch it would it throw off the trick?
If you do this at a bar or a house party the last people are thinking about is counting all the coins, they are drunk and you don't bust out the trick until people are in the right mood for it. That is to say once people have had over 5 drinks each.
This is actually pretty neat. Never seen it before at least.
13:49 he just called us Patrick from spongebob
This is an old Paul Harris effect. The card routine seemed too long, but this kind of works.
I caught how he said 10 x 4 is 40 when the corners were counted twice in the beginning but I didn't understand why he did that until he explained
My initial thought was im I counting one less for the one that overlaps into my row? In which case the trick falls apart.
I saw it the first time he did it, he just took a coin out of the square and gave it to one of them, all they did was move the coin placement, if somebody made it uneven he just made it even again.
How could they not have noticed, its so easy to spot!
They didn't say this, but the beer is integral to the trick.
An interesting variant would be to add a coin then move the coins so there are only 9 in each row, then add another and make it 8. Couldn't go to 7, but back to 10 would be just as mind blowing.
well thats kinda easy. The trick/"fault" was at the beginning. You asked every1 to count their row. Everybody had 10 and graham said that there are 40 coins but there are some counted twice. Easy to understand even before the solving
love you brian ur great ive been watching for 3 years keep going
It was so simple but clever. I only figured it out because I have watched over 200 epasodes of scam school. §
Anthony Rentschler well done, sir!!
this was the video of the latest scamschool live
How many coins can be added before it falls apart?
I think Brian and his hair would be great for spear fishing.
@torolf007 how far into the video did you get before you figured it out, the end, or did you keep pausing and rewinding it to see it all again. Either that or you already knew then trick.
Almost 2 million subs great job man
I knew from beginning there are not 40 coins.
That's that Slash hair from old school "Snowboard Kids".
Thank you kindly sir.
Guys, have a secret stack of coins in your pocket. When they're trying to figure out the math just show them you have some on the pocket and they'll still think it's sleight of hand.
Pretty simple to figure out honestly. Once you caught the error with 4x10=40 (Which is just a mind trick that belongs to the scam because each person counts the same corners thus those coins are counted twice.) it's easy to figure out what you do. All moves are basically nonsense except of the single coin moving from one of either corners of the row they added a coin to somewhere in the other row connected to the same coin.
this trick is cool, but impressively easy .. if u understand binomical rules in math ... u see that trick right when u know the target of this: everybody count your rows.
... obviously coins at a knot count for both rows, while coins outer knots count for just 1 row .. so:
add a coin to row x, and then put 1 coin off of 1 of those 2 knots of row x to the neigbourline .. and your fine! ;)
anny has great knockers...bravo!
this trick is very easy to be revealed while you are doing it.. actually I understood what you done from 5:00
first time on scam school i realised this trick immediatly
quick question... what if someone puts it on the corner with 4 stacks and now you have 5
I figured it out the third time because the first two times you were moving too fast, but later i could see what you were doing which was what i was imagining
Had this one figured out really early.
I figured out the total number of coins at the beginning..but not the moving around part
What I'm wondering is how long will this work for.
I luv scam school because its help me out a lot with my magic thank u brian u rock
I didn't get this because I didn't know what the illusion was. I knew there weren't 40 coins from the beginning, but didn't think that made a difference.
this is a cool trick, but im never sober enough at the bar to pull this scam off!
The corners are counted by the two rows attached to itso you could add 4 coins and you would have 40 in the end
I was not going to watch this video because i the length but when i saw what was going on i stayed lol
he only switched coins in the same row thus making the amount of coins impossible to change

I'm sick of people bitching about the new comment system. Granted, I do hate it my self. So heres my idea, why not bring back the parts of the old system that made the top comments ones that recieved the most up votes, and keep the parts of the new one where your replies to comments stay like they are now. Sound good to you guys??
yes. kick ass, man
All I could think of watching this is: "Okay, but there's no way they'll be dumb enough to not call him out on it." And yet - nobody did! Nobody called him out on his bullshit "40 total".
I guess I'm just not as dumb/gullible?
-AHMAD
People had their minds blown??! Noone said anything about the ridiculous 4X10=40 at the beginning??
Scomm school yaa. Scomm scewl YAH
Easy as hell to figure out... Figured it before he even finished the presentation....
he didn't even start and I figured it out... it just didn't make sens to count the corner twice... i think asking him to say how much is 4x10 ruined it. because it is here I realized that this doesn't work like that...
it's initially 40 or 36?
