- Today we're talking about water illusions.
I'm going to be showing you about refraction
and how to make instant ice.
All that and more coming right up.
(Upbeat drumming)
Now, this first trick here is all about refraction.
It's actually kind of just science magic
which is really fun for me.
So my set up for this trick is going
to be having a little arrow that's taped to this speaker.
I'm going to put that in the distance.
Then in the foreground, we're going to have our glass
that I'm going to fill with water.
So notice how the arrow's pointing left here,
I'm going to put the glass in
and I'm going to start filling with water.
And watch the arrow and see how it starts
flipping directions right there.
Isn't that cool?
Can actually adjust this a little more,
but if I move the glass take a look.
(whooshing sound)
Crazy!
From my limited knowledge of science,
the way I understand refraction is that
it's actually the way light is passing through an object.
You can even see a simple example
just with putting a pen in water.
When it's against the glass here it looks
totally fine but then as I pull it away
it starts to actually distort and look like
it's kind of two different pieces chopped up there.
So science is pretty crazy huh?
I also want to demonstrate this further
by using our favorite emojis.
Comment below what your favorite emoji is.
So I'm going to reset this and show you again
with the smiley emoji.
So I've got the emoji taped up here,
and let me throw in the glass without any water.
So when I start pouring,
(water pouring)
(laughing)
yes, notice how the emoji turns
its smile to a frown.
But we need to turn that frown upside down,
so that's refraction for you.
Something that's also really fun to illustrate
with refraction is when you have a thick water bottle
or plastic, you can actually put
a piece of paper with an image on it.
Doesn't matter what the image is.
When you take it out you'll notice its still --
Wait what the heck?
Dude!
That's another cool refraction
phenomenon I suppose.
So I guess I'm a brand new pet owner,
if you guys want to name him for me
shoot a name idea down in the comments
the one with the most likes, I'll choose that name
and I'll announce it in the next video.
Do not write Nemo.
It's a goldfish guys I'm not naming
it Nemo or Dory okay?
(upbeat music)
Alright, here we are at the freezer
where I've had bottles of water
freezing for about four hours now.
I have to carefully get this back
to my desk, as well as this ice pack.
(lighthearted music)
So this water that I have here
is still in a liquid state.
I'm going to actually hit it on my hand
or kind of slam it on the table
and you're going to see it either
slowly crystallize or kind of instantly crystallize.
Check this out.
(bottle slams)
Look at it from the top, look at it from the top.
It's crystallizing right now as we speak.
It's moving down, if you can see that.
It's turning more white as it's crystallizing.
And if I were to pour this out,
I'll pour it out in a second,
it's pretty much going to be ice crystals.
So I guess that's how you make an instant slushy,
watery ice.
But this actually gets way more fun here,
if I pull up an ice pack and we're going
to pour another one of these and you'll see
it crystallize right in front of your eyes.
I have to carefully,
oh this is hard,
I have to carefully open this up
to not disturb any of the water
or else it will immediately turn to ice crystals.
Now I'm pouring it on this cold ice pack
watch what happens to this water still in a liquid state.
Dude, icees coming right out look at that.
It is growing ice crystals as I pour upwards.
Isn't that amazing, look at that.
Now I've got some ingredients so now I'm
going to make so snow cones for the team.
(lighthearted piano music)
Bon appétit, it's a great day for a slushy actually.
(doorbell rings)
- Hey who wants a slushy?
- I think it's blueberry, cherry.
- The red one.
- Oh cherry sounds good, actually do you want to trade?
- I should've made more these are popular.
Hey Josh do you want a slushy?
- Oh yeah sure!
- Bon appétit!
(kissing sound)
Are these gluten-free you think?
(knocking on door)
- Oh what is this?
- It's a slushy, homemade from water magic.
Do you want the last slushy?
- Oh what's this?
- It's blueberry slushy homemade.
- Are they real slushies?
- Damn Ryan we got one returned,
we got one returned.
- Sorry, I don't know if it's gluten-free.
- It's sugar, I think it's gluten-free.
It was technically returned
but it hasn't been touched yet, it's a slushy.
- Why was it returned?
- She's gluten free
she doesn't know if there's gluten in there.
But it's water and sugar, a lot of sugar.
- I feel like this is one big practical joke.
But it's pretty good.
- Snow cones were a big success,
team morale is high, it was overall a good day.
- Did I hear snow cone?
- How many of you have had a brain freeze before?
Right it's terrible, so next time you find yourself
in one, here's a little magical tip for you.
(slurping noises)
(yelling)
A brain freeze!
(ice clattering on road)
I've got your final illusion right here
but before I do that, subscribe here, video right here.
Alright I'll see you guys in the next video.
(water splashing)
(upbeat guitar and drums)
