Hello and welcome to Puzzle Master. This is the Puzzle Guy,
and in this video I will show you how to solve the Houdini's Torture Cell puzzle.
This puzzle was designed by Brian Young.
The difficulty level of this puzzle is eight out of 10 on Puzzle Master's
difficulty scale that runs from five to 10,
and the goal of the puzzle is to remove the ball from the torture cell.
This puzzle was made from brass, an acrylic tube and some magnets.
You are not allowed to heat or bang the puzzle since you can break it,
but it won't help you to solve the puzzle. At first glance,
this puzzle looks impossible since there are no gaps and no openings,
where you can put the ball to remove it,
but you still have to figure out how to solve it.
This is a sequential discovery puzzle, which means that you will find some tools
within the puzzle that will help you to solve it.

keep watching the video. And now I will show you how to solve the puzzle.
So first of all, as soon as you take the puzzle in your hands,
you will find that you can easily remove the bottom part.
Then you will find that there is a small screw here. You can unscrew it as well.
And then you will discover a small opening,
but it is too small to remove the ball. That's not how you
solve the puzzle. Then if you take a close look at the bolt,
you will find that you can remove this, black kind of a rubber plastic part.
Then if you take a close look inside of the bottom piece,
you will find that there is a magnet there and a very strong magnet.
So the next step will be to put the bolt back inside of the
torture cell and put it all the way in,
probably like so. Just, put it inside
so much so that you can imagine that you can squeeze the ball between the bolt
and the brass part.
The next step be to grab the base and
flip it with the opening up.
Put it next to the bolt. You will feel the pull of the magnet
to the bolt. Now put the ball next to the bolt.
Flip the puzzle. And as you can see,
now the ball is between the bolt and the brass part.
You can try to rotate the bolt,
but probably you won't succeed. But if you put the bolt
Close enough to the brass part,
you will be able to put the ball right in the middle.
Then you can tighten the bolt.
And here the miracle happens when you tighten the bolt a little bit more.
The top part comes out and you will find that there is a much bigger
gap here,
which you can use to remove the ball and the puzzle is solved.
That was the solution of the Houdini's Torture Cell puzzle.
To put everything back together, just unscrew the bolt,
put the ball inside,
then put this brass part inside, as well. Next,
you can put this plastic part on the bolt,
screw it inside,
and then put the base on. And there was the solution of the Houdini's Torture Cell.
