- Yo, what's up guys?
Welcome back.
What do you guys know about lock picking?
I don't what it is about the love between magicians
and pick pocketing and lock picking
and stealing and peeking.
I feel like magicians have always wanted
to be, like, either a James Bond
or some con artist of some sort.
But, anyways, regardless.
Today I received something in the mail.
I know I was supposed to post a tutorial this week
and it is coming, I am working on a tutorial right now
as we speak and it's really, really good
and I can't wait for you guys to learn it
but I got this in the mail.
(exploding)
This is a box puzzle but it has a key
and a lock attached to it
and you have to try and open this box puzzle
without breaking the lock I guess.
So it has to do with lock picking I'm sure.
And we're gonna take a look at that.
So guys, again, sorry, I am working on this tutorial
which will be posted this week so do stay tuned for that.
I just got back from the biggest magic convention
in the world.
If you have not seen those videos, go and check those out.
But I'm so kinda magicked out from the weekend,
you can't blame me right now.
I just wanna kinda focus on something else for a day.

Now let's go.
Before I show you this, I wanted to show you
one of my favorite things that I picked up
at the magic convention.
This is a lot of fun.
As you can see, I've got nothing in my hands,
but if you just take a closer look...
Ohhh, got em!
So yeah, that's a lot of fun.
Thank you Alan Orson who made that for me, that's amazing.
Alright, lock puzzle time, let's go.
First of all, this is a level seven lock puzzle,
which is a lot more difficult
than that spinny one that I had.
Obviously, I already knew sort of those type of puzzles.
This one I have no idea.
I've never attempted to pick a lock
in my entire life so this should be interesting.
What you're given here, as you can see,
let me turn this up a bit, give you guys a better look.
Alright, what you're given here is a box, all wood,
and you have this lock attached and a key,
which I'm guessing that key can open this
but obviously we need to find another way
to open this lock without that key
unless we can get this out somehow.
So, let's have a look.
I might as well try that, see, I found this one box once
that opened from the opposite side,
just not something you would intuitively would do
so, I tried that.
That didn't work.
The next thing is maybe these?
You see these little gold things on the side.
Thinking they might be able to slide out somehow.
(pleasant music)
Doesn't look like it.
No seams on the top or on the back.
(pleasant music)
Okay, so this is interesting.
You see the feet?
Check this out.
I'mma let you guys guess.
What do you notice about the feet?
Yeah, so, if you noticed that these,
this one here and this one here
are actually, they protrude more than these ones.
These ones look like they're really pushed in
and these ones are a little bit raised here.
So, I'm gonna see if these actually come out.
Maybe that'll help me out here a bit.
Maybe they twist,
I don't want to break it again but...
Oh!
Here we go.
I'm not sure if I'm supposed to do that
but that definitely comes out.
I feel like I shouldn't take these out
and this has nothing to do with it.
Let me try to take this one out as well.
Alright, so, that one seems to be stuck in there.
So, okay.
Oh, oh, so I see there's two holes.
There's two holes in the side.
As you can see in that lock, there's like two holes.
So maybe, maybe I have to get the other one out
and poke that through.
Let's see if that'll work.
Again, I could be ruining the box.
I have no idea.
C'mon.
Unless that's the only one.
But I feel like this one should be able to come out too,
just because it's raised
but it doesn't seem to want to move at all.
It doesn't event turn, yeah.
Alright, let's try and go ahead and just do this one.
(pleasant music)
(lock and key clinking)
(pleasant music)
Oh!
Well, that was it.
There you go.
Really?
Yep, box is open.
Hmm.
Well, that was the entire process of me opening this box.
Hope you enjoyed that.
(laughing)
Let's just make sure that that's...
Okay, so that's locked.
I just want to a make sure
that I didn't somehow pry it open by accident.
(pleasant music)
Yep, that was it.
So that pin can be used to open that little lock there.
Pretty clever.
I mean, for a level seven, I was expecting something
a little more difficult, like,
I mean the holes there.
Once you get this out...
Like, this did seem to me,
like that wasn't supposed to come out
because if you look at the bottom of this box
it sort of looks like I broke it
but I guess that's what you had to do.
Just for the fun, just for funsies,
does this actually work?
It does, okay.
Cool.
Well, that was very ingenious.
Part of the fun of these puzzles,
and I'll be really frank with you guys,
part of the fun isn't actually solving them.
Solving them is a lot of fun and it's most of the fun
but some part of the fun
is actually having your friends solve them.
So I always enjoy, once I solve these,
if my friends haven't seen the videos,
to just let them have a go and see how long it takes them
and sort of compare their puzzle solving skills to mine
and, I don't know, if they don't solve it,
I just go ahead and solve it for them.
I have a lot of fun.
I left the link below to this one.
This is something fun you can do
and kind of leave a little keepsake in there.
Maybe a prediction of some sort or something, I don't know.
Just kind of a cool little lock puzzle.
The feet kind of gave it away, I'll be frank.
That kinda gave it away
but hadn't it been for that,
I probably wouldn't have found that.
I probably wouldn't have tried to pry these open
if they were the same size.
I guess they had to do that.
I was really hoping that this had something to do
with the, like shifting these somehow.
Do you know what I mean?
Whatever, cool puzzle.
Thanks for watching.
Alright guys, that is it for the video.
Hope you enjoyed that.
That was a fun puzzle actually
to try and open.
Go ahead and check the link below

I've dropped some links below.
