- Yo, what's up and welcome back.
(groans)
(clapping)
Good to be here.
Guys, today is a cool day.
We actually got another puzzle to figure out.
Before I get into that though, I did receive something
in the mail that I thought you guys would enjoy.
These are magic stickers.
From my buddy, Rory Adams sent me these.
You have these ones which are kind of cool, and
what they allow you to do is basically just put 'em
on the bottom of your card box,
and it helps you with mnemonica.
Mnemonica is a certain stack that you can use,
so you can use this kind of as a cheat sheet
on the bottom of you box.
I don't need it.
I've been doing mnemonica for a long time
that I don't need the cheat sheet,
but if you're just learning it or need a reference
or anything at all, you can put it at the bottom
of your box, and it can help you out
which I think really, really clever.
That being said, there's also this.
These guys here.
These are court card breather stickers, and
what they allow you to do is create a breather card.
So normally, you crimp a card,
and by crimp I mean fold it kind of like this.
(folding card)(mellow music)
There you go, and that is a breather.
Cut the deck, and you leave the breather
somewhere in the middle.
And, if you cut, no matter where you cut to,
you're going to end up cutting on that breather card
because as you see, you can kind of see.
The reason it's called a breather,
it allows a little bit of air between where that card is,
so when you cut to that card,
you're automatically on the breather card.
These guys have went ahead
and created breather court card stickers,
which is quite interesting.
In this case, I have a king of diamonds breather placed
on the king of diamonds.
And you can barely see it.
I've even lined it up super straight,
so the breather is over there.
I'm just gonna cut, and boop, there you go.
The breather card is right there, the breather sticker.
What you can do is you can use that as a key card.
If they select a card, I'll leave this on the bottom.
They select a card.
So let's say this one here.
We'll leave that on the top.
We will cut.
Now, the breather card is on top of their selection,
so when you cut, that is their card.
So, you can find it that way.
I thought that was kind of clever, kind of cool.
No, but honestly, the only thing I don't like
about it is it's not really examinable,
where as a breather crimp is.
But I found a different use for it.
I came up with a little magic trick using this.
I got my buddy, Jim C, who's a YouTuber as well.
He's just coming by to say hi.
He's in the area.
So, I'm going to perform this for the first time
to Jim C to see if it works.
Alright, so my buddy, Jim C, just stopped by,
so I thought I'd try this trick on him to see if it works.
- Can I drink a beer?
- Of course, you could drink a beer.
- Okay, perfect.
- It's nine in the-- - Can I speak English?
- Of course. - Okay.
- It's nine in the morning. You can drink beer
and speak English all you want. (laughing)
- Alright, perfect.
- Alright, Jim C. - Is it that new tour?
- New trick?
- Trick. (laughing)
- (laughing) Yes.
- (laughing) Perfect, perfect.
- I just actually came up with it.
- Okay, perfect.
- I just made it up. - Alright.
- Just say stop whenever you want.
- Stop. - Right there?
- Yeah, yeah. - Remember the card.
You got it? - Yeah.
- Okay. I'm gonna try to find your card.
- Alright.
- I think I already know what it is.
- Already?
- Yeah, is it the king of diamonds?
- No.
- Really, what was it?
- Of hearts.
- It was the king of hearts?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Wait, we can fix that. Hold on.
(mellow music)
- What the? (laughing)
What is that?
- It's a sticker.
- No (censored) way man. (laughing)
- No, no, no, no, no. (laughing)
- (Laughing)
- Hey, it works.
So, it works.
That was pretty good.
He actually liked it, and I think it's a good trick.
So basically, what I did was, I took one of these stickers.
I laid 'em over top of the twin card.
So, I took the king of diamonds breather,
and I laid it over the king of hearts.
This is the queen of spades.
We're gonna look for the queen of clubs.
We're gonna place this little wild sticker.
Now the queen of spades sticker is over the queen of clubs,
which is kind of weird.
I'm gonna place it on the bottom.
I'm gonna cut it to the middle,
and I'm gonna hold a break right there.
And, as I riffle through the side to the corner,
I'm gonna ask him to say stop,
and I'm just gonna do a time force.
So, he's gonna say stop whenever, and whenever he says stop,
no matter where, I go here. So, I take my time,
and I go, say stop, and as soon as he says stop,
I fast forward to here.
All that allows him to see,
I don't know if you guys can see that on the camera,
but all that allows him to see is, sort of,
the queen of clubs, so I ask him to remember a card.
Stop whenever, as soon soon as he says stop,
I go to that breather card right here,
and where my break is, and I show him the pip,
and I say, remember that card?
He thinks he saw the queen of clubs, which he did.
I'm gonna go ahead and find your card.
At this point, I could literally just cut the cards,
and the cards gonna be on the bottom.
But what I want to do is I don't want
to show him the queen of clubs.
I'm gonna go like this, and I'm gonna hold the cards like so
where my thumb blocks this indicee and pip,
and my pinky blocks this one.
I'm gonna say was your card the queen of spades?
He says no, and I say oh, let me fix that.
And I just go ahead and peel this off and show that to him.
It's a cool reveal.
It's something I just came up with on the spot,
but as you can see, the reaction was great.
Pretty easy, so I'll link to-low, uh blemp blemp blermp.
Again, this isn't a paid promotion.
I just thought it was a cool thing that he sent me.
I'll leave the link below if you guys are interested
in performing that trick.
It's kind of cool.
Alright guys.
Time for the puzzle.
We're looking at the sphere pyramid, the sphere-amid.
The sphere-amid, the sphere pyramid.
The per, reer, reer, reer.
This is a really sick puzzle, actually.
Classic in puzzle brain-teasers.
Great to have on the table.
This particular one is made of all wood.
It looks very, very nice.
Kind of looks like an impossible object on its own.
Just the fact that all of these little balls
are stacked together making a pyramid.
But these are actually, some of these are actually attached,
some of them aren't, so there are different pieces
that you have to assemble in order to complete
the pyramid of spheres, the sphere-amid, as it were.
By the way, the contest.
We had a contest last, was it Friday?
Giving away a whole bunch of stuff
for my 2 million subscriber.
Thank you so much, by the way again.
Thank you for everybody who entered the contest.
Results are in.
I left the names of the people who won in the description,
and if you have won, you have been notified by email,
and if you haven't, I would say stay subscribed,
and turn the notifications on, because more contests
and giveaways are coming your way in the near future.
But for now, let's go ahead and solve some puzzle.
Some puzzlery.
Puzzlery.
Alright, let's get into it.
Let's go.
Pffff, the Sphere Pyramid.
So, the idea is to take this apart,
and put it back together again.
Randomly, let's take all the pieces off.
This is what we're left with.
Wow, okay.
The whole thing is I gotta build this back up to a pyramid.
So, let's just try some randomness.
See if that pays off.
It's only when you start doing it do you realize
how many options there actually are.
(jazzy music) (puzzle pieces clicking)
Ooh, I feel like I'm close.
It's gonna be a no.
It's gonna be a no for me, dog.
(jazzy music) (puzzle pieces clicking)
Ooh.
(jazzy music) (puzzle pieces clicking)
We try again.
We go again.
I like these puzzles.
This is the type of puzzle I really enjoy,
as it's just a, it's mainly just a brain teaser.
That one's a weird shape.
Gotta be more than one solution to these things.
If not, I'm pretty much in trouble.
(jazzy music) (puzzle pieces clicking)
Oh, so this is a four.
Okay, that's interesting.
We know that this has to be on the bottom,
'cause it's the only one with four, right?
Now, is it in the middle, or is it on the edge?
That, I cannot answer.
Let's assume it's in the middle.
(jazzy music) (puzzle pieces clicking)
Oh God, not yet.
Nope.
(jazzy music) (puzzle pieces clicking)
Three hours later.
(jazzy music) (puzzle pieces clicking)
(humming)
(jazzy music) (puzzle pieces clicking)
Hmmm.
(puzzle pieces clicking)
(sigh) Kay, we go again.
(piano music)
It looks like a good start.
(piano music) (puzzle pieces clicking)
Look at that one just fit in there.
That's pretty close.
(piano music) (puzzle pieces clicking)
Pretty close.
(piano music) (puzzle pieces clicking)
This one's messing me up here.
I like the way that fit though.
(piano music) (puzzle pieces clicking)
So close.
Looks like a pyramid, but it's not.
So close.
(piano music) (puzzle pieces clicking)
Hmmm. (humming)
(piano music) (puzzle pieces clicking)
I like that. I like the way this starts actually.
That's kind of neat.
Hmm.
(piano music) (puzzle pieces clicking)
Ooh.
Hmm.
Hmm, hmm, hmm.
(piano music) (puzzle pieces clicking)
Oh, that's even better.
(puzzle pieces clicking)
Boosh!
Look at that, baby!
Never taking this apart again.
This stays as is.
Period.
(laughs)
Woo.
Well, alright, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm quite happy (clapping)
that I got that done.
Wasn't too difficult, but it felt good.
It's one of those things that when the pieces fit,
there's something satisfying about that.
Just kind of, mmm-cli that tss-eer.
If you felt the satisfaction, smash Like.
I got more magic videos coming your way this week,
as well as some more puzzles, and a tutorial coming up
