something a bit different today I was doing a bit of dollar store shopping and
I figured they'd show you what kind of treasures I found here but first you may
notice that this is not in fact a beer
Glenfarclas twelve-year-old single malt scotch whiskey I'm not gonna do my
usual tasting notes and whatnot on the beer .... like I do on the beers I
will link a review of this a proper review by a proper Scottish Scotch
whisky reviewer... Ralfy !that will be down in the description below if you want to
know more about that scotch but the things that I found at the dollar store
actually well calling it a dollar store is kind of a misnomer because they only
used to be a dollar store but now they sell things for varying prices this
little screwdriver set for instance they have labeled at four dollars and it
seems like a not bad little set here it's got how does it say thirty pieces
so third that's one the case is two which means there's 28 bits probably and
there's the listing of them there's some tortoises there's some straits some
hexes and then there's these oddball little security bits of trying a
triangle and a u-shaped one or is it there it is there those that I don't
have in my accumulation and of course then there's the handle I do have a
couple of other screwdrivers that use these sort of miniature shank things
miniature bits there's this one which the those union UK will recognize is
something that you pro you guys find commonly at Poundland and it's got a was
that six seven bits in the handle plus the one in it so eat
it's total and those are basically an assortment of Phillips and straights
nothing too exotic in there but it's a good solid the whole screwdriver for you
know cheap this particular one I got off ebay from somebody in China for a buck
but it's saw it and those are you not in UK may recognize this is very similar to
the one that did clubs always got in hand the other set that I've got is this
set that I found at Princess Otto here and Winnipeg a few years ago it's also
got a handful of the security bits and and some torque zoos and stuff a couple
of different triangles a tri wing and you know a bunch of torques is some
straights and phillips i tend to usually keep a phillips in that straighten this
one and it also don't thing i like about that is it has this long shaft that you
can adjust or you don't even need to use that you can just put the bit straight
in it but I like using this shaft here just to give me a little bit more reach
so that's that's those no this one okay so it's got a kind of a padded rubbery
well not robbery but you know final whatever handle on it and comes in this
cool little stand these are also these red things here are rubbery so they're
gripping on to the bits as they sit in there I'm just wondering what size a bit
should I keep in this one I've got a medium straight blade in this one yeah
maybe I'll keep like a jeweler's size in this one yeah that's that could be handy
so that just slots oh there's a magnet in the back of there and you hear that
so that's that's handy so maybe I won't just keep on in there I would keep it
like that and if this as a sort of screwed on top on
it so they don't all disappear on you that's actually not bad just for a
cheesy little multi bit screwdriver tossing your toolkit actually is it
doesn't get all loose oh cool okay so there's that that was four bucks which
is that's actually what I went looking for I'd seen them before and I decided
I'll bite the bullet for whole doors will be then since it's almost Christmas
I found these will light up acrylic bicycles for a dollar fifty batteries
included what a deal let's just see what those are like I mean these these could
there's a couple of different variants that these could be these might just
light up which would be okay I guess but it becomes boring I'll get that off the
for later or they could blink or color change or I don't any number of
interesting things but so what's going on here oh okay so that cap comes off
and it has a spring and then down in here so now down inside here this is
kind of a soft not too soft plastic and there's one lead comes up here and
there's one down at the bottom so this is just going to be disappointing drop
these batteries in there just I mean they're not dead so this is just going
to be a single LED in there I don't know what it's going to do
hmmm wonder if those batteries even have any juice in them all those are crusty
get that I mean yeah okay their batteries included their shit batteries
but they're included let's pull it a different one here so it looks like so
it looks like there's just one pin of the led and one wire the OED just comes
straight up through the bottom of there and slams into the middle of the battery
then this rubs against the metal eyes plastic here and theoretically makes a
bit of a contact theoretically
try this again they're real it glows blue it doesn't flash it doesn't do
anything it just goes blue okay and the third thing that I got it's not a tool
it's not electronic it's a set of magic trick cards yes my local dollar store Oh
actually I you saw that previously didn't you I've
yeah picked up magic stuff from this same dilemma in the past now these ones
are probably pretty lame as marked cards go because they cost me a dollar and a
half oh they feel pretty good though let's
pull the Joker's off is there anything to tell me where the
marks are oh there it is right there so these aren't like a professional mark
deck so I'm not going to be running afoul of any magicians union rules or
anything which is fine because I'm not really part of that kind of a club but I
don't know first of all yeah before I even do that let's just zoom in on the
back of the card here and see if you can see the marking quickly can you know
that's the King of Diamonds that is the ten of hearts that is the ten of spades
that is the four of spades that is the ace of diamonds can you see it can you
see the marking now there's one in that corner and it's one in that corner so
these are not going to fool anybody they're not going to be
used by a professional magician I thought they do have a pretty good
feel to them actually they handle fairly well that's not bad now see I haven't
done a pharaoh in a long time let's see if I can let me do one oh this is why
I'm so rough now this isn't this isn't really a trick
this is just a fancy kind of cut shuffle thing no I'm just embarrassing myself
here but that's that's not bad the handle okay they handle surprisingly
well for something from a dollar store
they handle better than somebody with my hands deserves anything so there is the
trick there is what it shows you on for this mark deck and again I'm not too
upset and I don't think anybody's going to be too upset at me showing you how a
dollar store mark deck is going to work because a proper mark deck that a
magician would buy at a magic shop is not going to have markings that are that
fricking obvious but still that's that's pretty cool let's just try something
seven of clubs shuffle him down no then is it where it should be and it's it
where no it's not there not any place obvious not on the top of the deck
oh the top of the deck is Penn & Teller favorite card
the three of clubs the seven of clubs is right under it okay um I don't know that
could be fun and if anything I mean it's a it's a good death to practice
shuffling with and for a buck and a quarter I mean a deck of really good
quality cards either B or bicycle is gonna run you you know three or four
bucks of cheapest you can find them at the dollar store actually had bicycles
for four dollars and only at the very least for kids you know for a kid doing
a magic show for his friends those would be fine mark deck I can actually read it
from from here because I know how to look five apart four of hearts
three of hearts they're still they'll know the shock of them a couple of times
they're still mostly a new deck order ten of hearts but at normal viewing
angles for an audience especially for an audience of kids that's perfectly fine
these screwdrivers I like them this this container is actually probably worth as
much as the screwdriver tips inside but I did get where is it that one that's
one that I didn't have before it's it's a type of security tip and it could come
in handy there's only one of these triangles and there's one of these try
wings I did a couple another kit but there are some really tiny Phillips now
what the hell is this one they don't say on the shank that's kind
of sucky so good that's not Philips attacks and actually that's not a hex
either that is this one a one millimeter just round poker oh I bet you I could
use that to pull the sim out of a phone there we go
but then you know there's a good variety of Hexham good 482 torques yeah anyway
thanks for watching whatever this was it's not a real bag I don't know it's
just me going out buying some fun stuff to amuse myself with thanks for watching
I will talk to you later
