it's the end of your video every year we
try and revisit some of the skills I've
learned in the past see if I can still
do them last year we had a candid look
at what I can and can't do kind of
unedited to see if I could still do it
first time this year we thought we'd
change it up a little bit and see some
of the stuff that I can do in slow
motion so we rented a bunch of stuff
let's have a look I looked I looked a
straight down in the bottom
[Music]
so we've rented a phantom flex 4k slow
motion camera which comes with an
operator Ross Ellet from green door and
a bunch of extremely powerful lights
these are two and a half thousand watt
each alright dice stack it in a cup I've
always wondered what this actually looks
like in super slow motion like how did
the dice actually go in there and how do
they come out on top of each other's
really kind of never really seen it so
we're gonna find out
[Applause]
[Music]
what's interesting about day stacking in
slow motion is just how mass air is
inside to the cup the dates are all over
the place and somehow they seem to sort
themselves out and end up in a nice
little Tower very cool
the hard bet with this skill is stacking
two towers atop one another
here you can see I press the cop down to
stabilize the dice before removing it
[Music]
all right dotted lines on the chalkboard
you know the the noise it makes
so this strangely is my most viewed with
video it's pretty easy schoo alarm as
well but what does it look like in slow
motion that's kind of in slow motion
that's going to be the first ever slow
motion shot
[Music]
you
[Music]
I've always thought that the chalk was
vibrating as it draws the line bouncing
up and down but it turns out is actually
wiggling in my hand and skipping across
the chalkboard
[Music]
pretty cool right please that exactly
what I thought I would do right the
tablecloth trick the most obnoxious
Christmas denna removed that you can do
but what does it look like in slow
motion let's find out
that's pretty good that was a good one I
was a really good one
[Music]
this one kind of works exactly how you
think it would but it's still pretty
cool to see the glasses wore stay where
they are without spilling a drop
also makes it easier if you pull this
face when you do it spinning the
basketball this is absolutely one of
favorite things that I've learned on
this channel and it's a really fun thing
to do but what does it look like in slow
motion not that interesting to be honest
same goes for spending a book on your
finger stell garden
except for how bendy my finger can get
next say bring a bottle of champagne is
my favorite festive party track but what
does it look like in slow motion what I
love about this footage is that it shows
that there's a tiny delay between the
glass breaking and the cork popping out
the neck of the bottle I never knew that
[Music]
you can also do this with a champagne
flute if you know what you're doing
watch but what does that look like in
slow motion you can see how much more
gentle the processes using a champagne
flute over a sword and you end up losing
much less champagne also
[Music]
next up is the card spread one of the
more tricky skills that I've learned but
what does it look like in slow motion oh
that's that was a good one
that was good that's good
[Music]
a card spring is over in less than one
second but in slow motion it's
mesmerizing to watch each card flew
through the air with such a uniform
spacing between them a couple of years
ago I learned how to break a wineglass
just by screaming into I love this scale
and I've always wondered what does it
look like in slow motion initially on
the shoot I was actually having about
trouble getting this to work and we were
just gonna call it and move on but then
I reviewed some of the footage we were
about to delete check this out
[Music]
you can actually see the glass vibrating
as my voice approaches its resonant
frequency I had no idea the glass
warbles this much when I'm doing this
what's happening here as I am singing
are screaming at a frequency that's very
close to the glasses natural frequency
that's the pitch the glass makes when
you flick it with your finger Sam's at
this frequency causes the glass to
oscillate way more than it would with
other frequencies of Sam's these huge
distortions in the glass
eventually caused it to fail if you can
sing at the right pitch for long enough
after seeing this footage I was
determined to get it to break on camera
[Laughter]
that's crazy it looks like liquid
I didn't that's amazing all right meet
me goodness good yeah everybody's insane
I did not know that it vibrated
[Music]
just look at how much distortion there
is in the glass when I am at the right
frequency
[Music]
so there you have it a bunch of skills
revisited in slow motion hopefully this
has inspired you to pick up something
new in 2020 even if it is just a party
trick oh and if you're new here
subscribe I've got plenty of interesting
stuff in the pipeline I hope you enjoyed
this video thank you for the support in
2019 I hope you have a great 2020 peace
[Music]
