Looking back on this video now, it’s hilarious to see all the comments talking about how people were complaining about quality. Yet, this is probably the best “quality” you’re gonna get nowadays. Maybe not resolution wise, but ambition wise and with interesting brain teasers that actually make you scratch your head. People were so focused on resolution, they never realized what really mattered: the content itself. And I must say, quirkology probably had the most fun content I’ve seen on this platform tbh. Even to this day it ages pretty well and manages to stump me sometimes
@@whotfisturbo That's what I thought at first too but then he put his hand out in front of the light and we could see the shadow of it. Maybe he used some kind of trick for that part though.
@@emiliatan5792 maybe he's not an idiot, he just too serious and didn't know when to not too serious. But correcting someone else mistake can lead to annoyance or gratitude, it depends on the person. As you can see I am got too serious replying your message lol. Hope you have a great day !
Okay this video was a really bang up job, I must say. Bravo. I think these investigative, illusion-revealing videos are the next step. Felt like a really fun classroom lecture. Loved the editing and composition, really. Classic Quirkology but in a new way.
No, The water trick is done by having glass with the same refractive index as water. Meaning the light bends the same amount in the water is in the balls. He, on the other hand, is neither see-through, nor does he have the same refractive index, so....
It's the light reflecting to the front of the person making it seem she's invisible. When he waves his hands, he blocks a part of the light, but the rest still reflects on top of the person.
why are people complaining about the quality of this video??? if anything, i prefer it and its style over the quality of most science videos these days! it gives me a nostalgic, “videos that i used to watch on TV as a kid” vibe, and I appreciate it so much!
People nowadays are super-spoiled when it comes to video quality - if it is less than like 1080p then they will always be like "w0ot which pixel is the video? I cannot see _anything_ at all!". =P
I saw this same illusion (or at least a spin on it) at a Ripley's Believe It or Don't, See If I Care (this might not be the right name, my memory's hazy) somewhere in Prince Edward Island as a kid 20 some-odd years ago! I always wondered how it was done. Now, looking at the setup, it makes perfect sense
I think Paul Daniels performed a similar illusion on his magic show on the BBC. They had a volunteer from the audience step into a box and it was surrounded by people from the audience. A light in the box was ramped up and the person inside the box disappeared.
Nimrod Challenger - I don't mind subscribing to a channel I like. But it makes no sense to sub just because someone subscribed to you. I want subscribers who actually care about the videos I make. That way they might actually WATCH the videos I make.
It's like 2 periscopes. The light comes thru the rear glass, reflects off the front glass toward the center then reflects off the rear glass toward the viewer. And technically it does use mirrors if you count reflecting glass as a mirror.
There's no mirrors...but as we all know...glass becomes a mirror at a certain point if the light on one side is stronger than the light source on the other side. So Im guessing that the glass acts as a mirror when turning on the glass which then also would explain how an object behind the person...like a hand is visible in front of the person. And the whiteness blocking her is white due to the strenght of the light and amplifying relfection on the glass while the mid region of the person is the darkest point, emits not light on the backside of the glass. The brightness is blocking our sight due to how the glass is placed around the chair, where the light source is coming from and the fact that the persons midsection is blocking light from one side of the glass.
Robert Harbin was one of my childhood heroes. I think he DID show this illusion once on TV, say, in the 1960's or 1970's. I didn't think it was all that convincing so maybe that's why he never did it again. I saw Robert Harbin live in stage when I was taken by my father to one of the magic Circle Christmas Shows, which must have been in the early 1960's. The magic Circle still have their Christmas shows which members of the public can attend. They are held in their now permanent home in Stevenson Street near Euston Station.
Read through the invisible Man, there is a chapter where he describes about how he tried to get the refractive index of air and the body to be the same; and then directed his work to nullify the effect of the pigments that absorb and reflect light. That is the basic idea of invisibility.
Just commenting to mention that I'm early. This is gonna go very viral I bet and I want people to know I was one of the first 300 to watch it. Report me for spam if you want.
Absolutely astonishing. Love the old camera style and all that, although people seem to not understand. You are a pretty good talker. And have a very likable face.
how can someone this like this guy's video he is very interesting and very awesome Richard Wiseman is my favorite professor and I just got to both of his RUclips channels
Ruvim Silc There is nothing wrong at all with the quality of this video, you can see perfectly well what's going on. People are too spoiled with crystal clear first class HD nowadays.
could be of the light passing through the glass. alternating an illusions with the colours from the lake at a high speed. making the light to focus on the object projecting to the lamp itself
So many illusions at once makes me question my reality.

That would be brilliant

Oh yes please
Hey Quirkology, Richard here!
Yes, please
Where's the goat? I miss its presence.
Absence of this goat is another illusion. The horned qutie is just invisible too.
BAA"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Ik im not a goat
The goat is a jumpscare

Oh, look at all these spoiled pre-teens complaining about the quality.
When 480p becomes obsolete and 4K becomes standard, RUclips should keep 480p just for Quirkology :3
yeah.... try to find good 4K content.
instead of some cheesy demos and trailers.
i don't mind if it's 720p or 480p. my videos go even lower xD

hi marble racer!
John Dubuc actually he does
Glad another marble race fan likes this stuff. Not really surprising.....
John Dubuc
Yes but it’s a pain in the ass to watch
plz make more vids like this one! very interesting!
I love when you keep the vids simple. Not 20minutes explaining unnecessary things and props
Really liked this one. I love the how the video played out.

For those confused, it's just the bending of light. In this case, the glass is reflecting the light behind the person
Still quite impressive he discovered it in 1929
So if you made a suit of transparent balls, and submerged yourself in a clear water tank, would you become invisible too?
No, The water trick is done by having glass with the same refractive index as water. Meaning the light bends the same amount in the water is in the balls. He, on the other hand, is neither see-through, nor does he have the same refractive index, so....
I think it was a joke >_^
Haha, you're right, I was a bit absent minded
Henrik Hovden :3
no. you will become naked :D
Two videos in one week? What is this sorcery?

See you in 2018 guys
I'm already almost there
Hi.
Wasssssuuuuuuuup ma boi, it's 2018
HELLOOOOOOO
Already there
Why don't people realise the 480p is one of the Quirkology quirks? It wouldn't work in HD
Oh its bnhs right?
PLS MAKE THIS A SERIES THO
great work on recording this video

One of the finest videos on this channel in recent memory. Keep this standard of quality in your videos.
Two videos in one week???!!! Quirkology ninja??!!!
Who are you and what have you done to the REAL Quirkology????
the quirkology ninja is staying now
This video shows so well how just a little bit of editing can make it so much better :)
This was fascinating and so well put-together! Please explore more forgotten illusions like this!!
Woah two videos in 5 days?!?!Thats a new record!!!
i liked the last trick , where quirkology becomes visible after adding water 😁
0:37 “and on a good night” your way of explaining things always surprises me
So the people complaining about 480p and rare uploads are coming later?
That's remarkable! Thanks for sharing the illusion with us.
I love those little gel balls. So much fun to throw at people.
This video got me time traveled, I met my grandfather from another mother
That was very well-done and I love how it actually worked after all this time. Nicely done!
"First time" bullshit. John Cena has been at it for years
Lmao good one
This is an amazing video, even if it is only 480p...
Now that was worth the months of waiting for a new upload.
beutiful, quirkology making a comeback
WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE CARE ABOUT THE CAMERA!!!
Terra KittyCat because he has 2million subs and we deserve better?
Bahahaha XD "We DESERVE better." How old are you? We deserve better... XD
DaTux91 lol. Seriously.
ABDZ89 lol we don't "deserve" anything. you don't have to watch the videos if the quality is to low for your eyes
Terra KittyCat yeah these stupid ass people are caring about his camera so what just enjoy the video and that's it
No man has yet discoverd how to be invisible, otherwhise he would be creeping around in the girls locker room lol
I don't know how that would be useful but that's AMAZING!!
I bet it's even more cool in person

Quirkology has given some great knowledge about some wonderful ideas. keep the video uploading.
Quirkology , This is your best video yet.
I like this, do more
Ducks like orbeez
set countdown to 3 months for next video.
How about a countdown until people stop making jokes about Quirkology's upload frequency?
Happy Industries we better set a countdown about overused jokes.
TinCanMan47 It would be set to 958549918843619819649816699885 years
unfortunately...
Brilliant video!
Sub for sub??
Nimrod Challenger - No
Ok
Nimrod Challenger - I don't mind subscribing to a channel I like. But it makes no sense to sub just because someone subscribed to you. I want subscribers who actually care about the videos I make. That way they might actually WATCH the videos I make.
Wood 'n' Stuff w/ Steve French - I actually checked your channel and subbed😂 I get it if you don't want to sub, just know I like your content😂
2.1 million subscribers and almost 2017, and still this man uploads in standard resolution.
1:54
Oh the irony
This dude still has everything that he had bought when he was in his twenties, Camera, furniture, wallpaper. :D
what that was so cool!!! I love this. Reminds me of old school mythbusters, illusion confirmed!
He finally made a double upload this month! Congrats!

+Ruvim Silc you.
More videos like this one please, was really good!
Btw those balls that disappear in water are made of a polymer that has the same refractory index as water so light bounces through them the same.
Awesome channel.
480p make special atmosphere.
2:37 its fasinatinating but more than that its....AMMMAZING
I’m glad that none of the illusions got me.
The light is reflecting off of both mirrors in the v shape in front of his torso. His hand is behind the light sheet
I'll see you next year, then.
Also, GREAT video! :D
Such a hidden gem, this channel
could be of the light passing through the glass. alternating an illusions with the colours from the lake at a high speed. making the light to focus on the object projecting to the lamp itself
that was the coolest thing i've ever seen in my life
I saw through that one right away.
This illusion was done by GMF a few months back. He took credit for the whole thing
I'm going to assume it's the reflection of the glass reflecting onto the other glass which makes it a correct facing reflection.
If one could truly become invisible, he or she would also be blind, due to light passing through their eyes.
very cool... would like more of these if you can think of/read up on them
WOW! This was so cool!!
Recently, RUclips made all unlisted videos uploaded before 2017 private, which includes the video linked in the description.
You've videos are getting a lot better!
Michael Furtado yep ?
2:24 *i see a little sillhouette of a hand*
That was unbelievably amazing...
that was awesome!!
i need more of this :P
The actual trick to this illusion is the fact that they used a ninja, who used her secret technique to make part of herself invisible.
It's pretty simply. The image the light bounces off the glass and is projected on the person
I'm loving the new direction! 👌
