- The answer to EVERY problem is hiding in plain sight! This is an education & entertainment focused TEDx Talk by Collins Key, who gained national notoriety for becoming the first magician to become a finalist on America’s Got Talent and is currently one the world’s biggest family / children friendly comedy RUclips influencers with over 8 million subscribers where he uploads viral videos and teaches his millions of fans how to make fun comedy and humor DIY food experiments / technology life hack.
In this engaging performance Collins Key breaks down learning the surprising secret that solves your problems quickly by using the art form of magic and explains that the answer to every problem is hiding in plain sight. The only question left to learn in this TED talk is, do you see it? Collins Key, with 6.5M+subscribers, is one of the fastest growing channels on RUclips having gone from 1M to 6M subscribers in less than a year. His unique blend of viral trends and family friendly content makes his channel unlike any other with over 100M views in the last 30 days alone.
At the age of 17, he was the first magician to be voted into the finals in 8 Seasons of America’s Got Talent. On the show, he completely changed the perception people have of magic with his innovative style and mind-blowing performances. Soon after, he embarked on a 30-city tour opening for Demi Lovato in front of 12,000 to 15,000 screaming fans a night, something a magician had never done before. His record-breaking and award-winning scripted series with AT&T, The Disappearing Girl, showcased his brilliant innovation and a new way to partner with brands. And recently Collins and his brother have been featured on the Disney Channel. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Such an honor to be able to give a TEDx talk. Hope you enjoy.
lmao, I thought you were supposed to yell "FIRST" when you're first to comment on a video.
This was awesome!!! Loved the ending 😂
Omg Collins!! U were amazing!
Collins Key COLLINSSSSSS LOVE YOU SOO MUCCHHH
Collins Key You're my inspirations, your videos always make me laugh 😂
Watching this after watching Collins and devan doing a Christmas challenge😂😂😂 and his mood is so calm in this and he’s not yelling the whole time😂😂
Isabella G Yeah, same! At the start, I was like, is this even the same person?? Both of them were really interesting though..for completely different reasons!
Isabella G i agree!😆
Isabella G OMG MEE TOO
same XXD
Isabella G same
The other part of the magic is that he knows about RUclips and the algorithm. By making a riddle in a video that we have to go back to figure out over and over again, it makes the RUclips algorithm promote this video even more because we're spending more time on it. Then he gets a highlighted comment and sends even more people to his page.
Interesting ,Thank's🤔🤓
Genuis.
Sounds like a good analyst and an even better illusionist..... he has thought of all the possibilities to exploit his own advantage, clever boy. That's why being keen is a compliment 😉 (and why slyness is an cloak of invisibility and a weapon of misdirection, CareFULL kiddo's these tools will cut in both directions when used.) ((That's why magician/magic movie's are always cautionary tales regarding mortality)) Illusion is a weapon to wield with conscious regard, cheers to Collin for sharing his point of view
it would be in his interest if he actually were the owner of this youtube channel but he ain't
@@talesofapenguin1582 He has his own RUclips channel, and this is mentioned in the blurb for this video. So it can indeed help him with gaining publicity for this.
He misdirects on the first solution. He quite clearly says "Using nothing except for these items - a candle, some pushpins and some matches". This rule explicitly excludes the box. He would need to say "a box of pushpins" to allow the box. So when he says you can use to box to find the solution that is "in plain sight", he is violating the very rules he specified. This itself may be a total misdirection to "prove his point", and expects us to fall for it, which most of us do (and yes, I did till thinking about it further) . . . unless he simple forgot to say a "box of pushpins", but in this case he did, so his solution is invalid for the rules given. Note that the original Karl Duncker test did in fact include the box.
Couldn’t’ve said it better myself
He knows This video for Ted talk goin on RUclips where he has 30 mil subscribers. This was pretty much promoting his channel. Theres a lotta key details missing from his instructions...drink champagne from the bottle without opening it...the solution is pour champagne from another bottle over the unopened one and drink off the spill over? Really? Hey works for teenybopper youtube watchers and collin is laughing all the way to the bank with his vault key ;) youtube full of sheisters
But isn t that what happens in real life. Your info to solve a problem is not always good/perfect, so his point is still very relevant.
@@deanfalzon7973 I'm not saying that the point is wrong, but that his example was not valid. He explicitly limits the "info" to specific items. Your solution is to ignore the problem he actually gives and generalize - in which case essentially you can bring in anything else you can think of, and there would be many many ways of solving this problem , and it no longer is a "thought experiment" really.
@@jphilrose The point of his talk is to get you to think outside the box and see what you would normally ignore. He broke his own rules on purpose.
i have never seen collins go so long in a vid without YEETING impressive
isabella pergrossi IKR lol I was thinking.... Wow my boy finally calmed the FRICK down
agreed literly in every single one of his videos he as at least one yeet
Ikr
isabella pergrossi I now right
Ha true
This was amazing...it’s incredibly motivating to see a self-made man(or teen) come up and share his idea, and above all, give respect to minute details since a very young age. Big fan!!!
Solving problems seems so simple, but a lot us Have a problem doing that simple thing! Thanks for this video.
In case anyone is watching this for the second time, he touches his key at 2:41 and at 7:09. Very clever!
Thank you!!
Thanks K Wilson.
the bill one is clever but i dont get completely the bottle one.
i did think of those thingys that perforate the cork, but I am not sure what is on that image 😅
@@0000song0000 at 2:41 when he points to the candle picture there's another one to the right showing the bottles and how it's done
@@0000song0000 Think of the clue, and consider the complete shape of a wine bottle. 😉
dear collins I have been watching you for only lord knows how long and just want to thank you for always making me smile even than i'm down. your channel has been an inspiration to me and i'm sure other people
I did notice the cards were different in the second set. I'd turn the champange bottle upside down and pour champagne from a different bottle into the recess, using it as a glass. :) Lots of fun.
Best I could do was separate bottle or it’s not actually closed
Have someone else open it
That's so lame.
Does the champagne that's drunk have to come from that bottle?
For all of my life, I have been criticized and misjudged based on any of these three common ways of the thinking. I'm very creative. My ideas are often either noticed and positively embraced or ridiculed. However, if people were to suspend these three limits, then they would be able to see the creativity in problem-solving and improve the situation more efficiently and effectively. Suspend quick judgments. Consider creative alternatives to answer the challenges at-hand.
1. Misconceptions.
Reassess the details to bring the information to surface in order to improve cognitive thinking.
2. Assumptions
Don't assume there are only certain resolutions.
3. Expectations
The answer you expect to find can limit your thinking.
I encounter this at work. I work for a smallish company without large teams to solve operational issues. I have a knack for seeing patterns in things which leads to alternative workaround solutions. Eventually my solutions are accepted but only after lots of ridicule or initial dismissal.
Everyone should either know some magic, or have a friend who does, very invaluable! 👍❤️
He’s so calm
I love Collins key!!!!!!!
i love collins key to
Krista Headrick me too
Krista Headrick same
I love you collins you are the best
Krista Headrick I love Collins key
Answer to every problem is very easy but hiding in plain sight .
Useful tips :
1.Access all the resources ,All the details
2.Observe the problem Pay close to attention
3.Every problem has a one simple solution
4.Maybe the problem you are struggling with is not even a problem
5.Answer can ve very simple
5.Your answer might be floating above you but you can't see it
Nice video. I actually solved the other problems after the initial candle one because I opened my mind to other possibilities. Nice!
I love Collins so much!!
Mia Dreyer just me
Mia Dreyer me too
I've watched it a hundred times100
Hi collin
hammad ahmad It's Collins 😜
I didnt know Collins could be SERIOUS for over 1 second...im proud of him...😎😎😎😀😀
This is great for awareness that our brains are wired such that we default to certain assumptions or more complicated ways of problem solving. The "school bus direction" problem is a pristine example of how adults complicate things whereas children aren't as biased. Again, great talk and information that proves the point. Question is: What tools exist that we can utilize that help us overcome this? Most viewers will leave this video never to research and benefit from the powerful outcomes that we witnessed...knowing that it can be transformative in our lives. We just toss away a potentially radical new way of thinking that may lead us to our own greatness...so to speak.
I have never seen him so calm
yeah me to
Yeah
You're such an inspiration to us, teenagers!♥♥♥ I love you, Collins! ♥♥♥
Every millenial seems to know this collins guy. Sounds like "I love you collins english dictionary". "Thanks millenial."
He’s so calm in this....... *HE ISNT ON HIS CHANNEL* 😂
true
True.
true
Ha ha ha.
Lol
That's for sure
For the candle problem, thinking inside the box is "thinking outside the box".
But the box is disallowed by his rules. Listen again.
this is my first time seeing collins acting so professional
I was able to make the key start turning left and then half way through the rotation I'd make it go right. After that it went back to left, then right, then left, etc... it was really cool
Hey Itz Mikaila ahh how?? I cant do it🙁
Hey Itz Mikaila me too i thought i was the only one
Same
Same
I like you & you almost have a hundred thumbs up
he is so smart in this and he didn't go crazy MIND BLOWN
Mind blownnn! had to watch complete video like 4 times to solve the last two problems. My question still remains, how come a person can grasp the entire scenario in one go and not miss any minute details (not get directed/swayed) ?
That's why I started to play with Lego. We couldn't afford them when I was a kid. But now that I have 2 of my own, I make sure to get my sons some for their birthdays. While helping my 5 year old build, I saw that he doesn't see them the way I do. So I started to challenge myself. After just a year, I find myself looking at other things differently now too. It's really neat. And best of all, I get Lego now!
the first time he touches the key on his chest he points to image to which in the background there is a painting of champagne bottles i think thats what hes pointing to and secondly when he touches his key the second time he points to the cards, the image on the back of the cards mimics the cups sitting under the bill. i didn't realised at first but i remembered there was this old trick of folding things over and over in made it stronger similar to the inside of the cardboard. this is what allows the bill to keep the salt suspended. the image on the back of the card is the trick i think just a theory. still dont know how he gets the champagne maybe he cracks the bottle or whatever.
I think he pushes the cork inside 2 drink it without “opening” but that’s actually still opening
@@lucieambercenter8922 Yes, he said the riddle wrong. It should be "How can I get the champagne without taking out the cork?"
I see now. The image for the bottles has 2 bottles. The bottle that you drink from is not the bottle that the champagne is stored in. You drink from the bottom bottle and the champagne comes from the top bottle.
And the bill will need to be folded into a concertina paper fold to give it the necessary strength.
@@catherinefaull5590 Riiight. You use the dip in the bottom of the unopened bottle as the *cup* from which to drink champagne from the open bottle.
I love ted talks!!!! I watch them every week in my classes in school!!! To have my idol in my favorite show is mind blowing!!! I absolutely love you Collins key!!! Your the greatest, my idol!!!!!!!
Xoxo,
Berkley (your biggest fan)
You were great on America’s got talent and I still have not seen it yet and I’ve watched it over and over and it’s so confusing at the beginning.
This is the calmest I've ever seen Collins
I love collins key it seems like he’s more grown up then his videos he makes.
Your presentation of the candle problem should have included the phrase "...a box of push pins". I noticed the box right away, but intentionally excluded it because of your specific instructions.
so you assumed that the box was not included. It's a bit the point of the whole presentation
This is probably the calmest I’ve seen Collins 🤣🤣🤣
I wish he was like this on social media.
This was the best Ted talks because Collins was in it XD
I like your vito
The champagne answer is in the background of the candle answer and the one dollar bill answer is on the back of the cards. YOU’RE A GENIUS COLLINS!!!
So lost
The salt and dollar answer is on the design on the back of the cards.
@@here2learn737 The times when he touches his key and says the answer is in plain sight: 2:40 the background of the candle solution shows a bottle with liquid pouring into the hollow of another bottle. 7:08 the back of the playing cards shows two glasses with something on top; some commenters say it's a folded up dollar bill, but to me it looks like the saltshaker lying down sideways. My instant response to the saltshaker conundrum was to move the glasses closer together and balance the saltshaker between their rims, lay the dollar bill on top of the rims so the saltshaker is balancing "on" the bill. My solution doesn't seem to be represented in the diagram on the back of the cards but it sure seemed like the easiest to me.
@@victorycall I think you are correct. The cards show two round objects with something white perpendicular to them.
The answer on the back of the cards is the bill, folded in a zig zag (accordion) shape that can then take the weight of the salt shaker. He should have used a shot glass so it couldn't reach the 2 glasses.
To be fair, it would've been more honest to say something like "a box of push-pins." When you only mention the pins per se, it conveys the notion that only the pins are in the list of items to be used. Then it's not really a matter of cognitive bias; we just weren't given the box to use.
That's the point he was trying to make, just because he didn't mention the box doesn't mean you can't use it. Our brains automatically were drawn to finding a solution using only what we were told, it's a sheep mentality that we have to break. I even fell for it too, for the exact reason you're commenting about.
It doesn't mean you aren't smart, it's just something that needs to be worked on and refined, he's providing a way to help others improve themselves, that's all.
In the actual experiment they just say use these items and you can clearly see that those are all provided but the same concept still exists and many people don’t use it bexuase they aren’t specifically instructed. The point is to not be instructed to do it and to think creatively
@@nikkirodman1302 I think it's a weak concept because it relies on a semantic trick. A person who reasonably thinks that they are supposed to find a solution using the pins alone is not failing in creativity; they are simply listening to the instructions in good faith.
The dude in the video is literally teaching us to "think outside the box"...
*Pun intended*
It's the same thing as "work smarter, not harder".
Life isn't easy, but it gets easier when you are able to navigate throughout it in a different way with the thought process this dude is showing us.
It's not new, it just works.
@@lucasgroves137 Nikki just told you the original experiment said "you can use any of these items" not just "... push pins" so your statement is incorrect, it's not just about syntax.
Wow...this principle could be life changing
I thought about using the box but I hate rummaging through the junk drawer full of sharp thumb tacks lol
I like how in Collins videos he’s always yelling and shouting and being so crazy which makes him unique and my fav youtuber but it’s funny how when he’s anywhere else, he’s calm 😂
Excellent presentation...Thank you so very much..
He is so calm he is not messy or yelling I like the crazy Collins key
I could just imagine collins saying yeet right now
10_15_14 _7_8_1 YEET
After imagining it, it sounds kinda funny
XD
I JUST REALIZED THAT I AM SO SMART! I paid fricken attention!
Amazing ! Thanks so much.
Spoilers:
Champagne challenge. You cannot break the bottle, that would be opening it. Turn the bottle upside down, pour something into the "bottom" and drink. You have now taken a drink from the bottle, without opening it. This is a trick on phrasing.
Salt shaker challenge. Move the glasses closer together, so the salt drops into both rims.
Collins key is my favourite RUclips
50. I ❤ your channel and you make me feel so happy whenever I can get an electronic to watch your channel
I LOVE YOU COLLINS KEY. I WATCH YOU EVERY DAY
Collins I like love him so much
you roll the paper and flatten it so it's strong enough to hold the salt shaker
I would suggest that you fold the dollar bill into an accordion shape with ridges. Then it is strong enough to support the salt shaker. The design is shown on the back of the playing cards.
Why not just put the glasses closer together?
@@riverkarma3471 that’s what I thought.
@@riverkarma3471right or just set the shacker on the side
Edge of either glass. Seems it would be easy to balance. But you're probably correct-er. Lol
Turn the bottle upside down, pour another drink (from another bottle of champagne I guess, since he messed up the word order with that challenge, changing the context of it) into the concave area at the bottom of the champagne bottle, and sip. You just drank from a champagne bottle without opening it.
We're in lies another problem. The entire bottle wasn't shown to us. Those who have never seen or felt a champagne bottle in their hand would not know of the recess at the bottom.
I love Collins key so much
Who knew Collins could be like this
Im surprised....very surprised
me to
I realized that the cards were different
Did you actually realize or watch him say they were all diffirent and come on here and lie about it.
Me to
I was like "Wait, there are 3 diamonds (K, Q, J) but 2 clubs and 1 spade." So I chose the king of clubs, thinking that he wanted us to pick the Jack of Spades for this exact reason, and in the next round I noticed that there was suddenly a Jack of clubs instead of the jack of spades like in the first round.
I noticed too. I saw the suits then looked to see if they was the J Q and K being all the same suit. I noticed the odd one out straight away. So when they changed it was totally apparent.
Dreamer In Time Same. That’s how I realised too
I am so proud of Collins!!!!!
Collins is a real talented...I adore him
Omg he was so calm...real keyper know how he is in his videos😂.....love him so much
His real magic is.......
*YEET!*
Bangtan's ARMY 🌹❤ARMY❤🌹
Ahhhh another Army ❤️❤️❤️❤️
YEET!!!!
Army's everywhere
Bangtan's ARMY I
I have never seen collin so calm!, watch his vids, hes crazy normaly
I love watching Collins key
I didn’t know Collin was on Ted Talks that’s amazing!!!!!😛😛😛😋
I love you Collins key🙂💕
And I hope that you have a great day today but how do you do majick
I've been obsessed with Collins over the past few days and I found this, he's such an incredible person.
He's ok but definitely not worthy of anyone's obsession!!!
Wow....super ultra awesome....super thanks for sharing....simple yet super impactful...thanks...
Super ultra comment, super mega words I love you super Akash N!
Crazy. I could see the key keep changing from spinning right to left. So cool
"A candle, some push pins, and some matches." These items do not include a box. If the items were specified as a candle, A BOX CONTAINING SOME PUSH PINS, and some matches, then our brains would not have a problem.
But if you say “use the items I give you including x x x (and miss out saying the box whilst giving it ....
It changes the game plan
He says "drink FROM the bottle without opening it." The bottle has a cup-shaped bottom. Turn the bottle upside-down, pour champagne into its bottom from ANOTHER champagne bottle, and drink THAT champagne from the bottom of the first UNOPENED bottle. The face-cards are the clue. Notice that the king, queen and jack are both right-side up and up-side down.
wow7 or just break it at the bottom
or just ask someone eles to open it for you
@@ktivatova Or, get the other person to open it for you, without actually asking
I’ve never seen you this calm
For the box one I just thought move the table
Wow collin..what a speech... hatsoff ..u changed my way of thinking ,this speech goona help me so much..i luv u collin..luv u😍😍😍
It helped m too
Thanks
I was staring strait at the key when it popped up and i watched it instantly turn in a different direction than it was at the begining.
You are sooooo brilliant ... man!
LOVE your vids oh and keeper Squad
Presenting and answering a few trick questions does not constitute revealing a "secret that solves your problems". Clever twaddle.
Dude just casually did one of the most fundamental classes in history. No one NEVER teach us to think and see reality like and see magic as a hobo job, unworthy of respect. I got here by searching function fixedness and this expect to be used in magic or that i would know 3 concepts that would save my live, one of the most remarkable one was "complex problem needs a complex solution" fallacy, i ALWAYS assume that. Standing applause well deserved and this should get more views.
Amazing 👏 👏 👏
Of course it’s easy to claim I “knew” it (candle / box ) from my couch but… I knew it. Being functionally fixed is a real thing but being a rule follower not a rule bender is as much a part of the problem. That rebel in your elementary school is more likely to be the guy or girl that went on to create something special.
As I mention above, the box is disallowed by the rules he specifies. The misdirection here is making you think using the box is the "answer in plain sight". It isn't. Listen to his rules again which is preceded by "nothing except". Otherwise you can use use pretty much anything else on the table, or anything you might find in the auditorium . Just because one of the items allowed is in a box does not mean the box fits the rules he specified. It does not. (Note: the original Karl Dunker test DID include the box!)
Love you Collins your the best !
Oh my goodness...first time i've sen collins CHILL!
I love u and Devan
Absolutely brilliant....I had to watch this video twice to get the "message"
I watched it twice and didnt get it😂
Lol with the key part I kept making it spin in the opposite direction, the moment it goes left k make it go right and vice versa
I LOVE YOU COLLINS KEY!
when he picks j heart me *moves slowly away from the screen mouth drops to the core of the earth*
How do you open a bottle without grabbing the cork
Me : SMASH IT!
Min Jung same
Soooooooooooooo True Min Jung 👍👍👍
Nice
Min Jung I said that to
U have to heat up the bottle side with a match

Collins you are a fantastic RUclips
People who don't consider the box just listened carefully. There was no mention of a box as part of the set.
His voice is so different from his normal vids!
Collins you doing great
he can change his mood quick :D
I'm so happy for you
