- What's goin' on, guys?
I just got a really sweet package in the mail,
this puzzle box that I've been looking forward
to playing with.
This is a Japanese-style puzzle box
made of wood.
There's some clanking going on.
You've got these two knobs here.
Let's see if we can open this thing.
Let's go.
All right, so just received this box.
This is a level six box puzzle
called the Nagel trick box.
Nagel is German for nail,
which may or may not give me a clue
to how this opens.
If you shake it around, you can actually hear
something rattling on the inside.
It sounds like they're shifting
from left to right.
As you can see, I can't open this.
I've got these two knobs;
one of them doesn't turn.
And one of them does.
They do not unscrew.
There's nothing on either side.
Like I said, it sounds like there's shifting
from left to right, and I solved a puzzle recently
which used centrifugal force, so my first instinct is to
spin it around.
Well, there you go. (laughs)
That's the puzzle solved.
Okay, so basically these nails on the inside
shift from left to right,
but obviously once they're all mixed up
within each other,
you can't shift it to the left or the right
because the other nails will replace,
will replace in the holes,
so you have to spin it around
so all of the nails get pushed to the side.
So yeah, that's --
So that's solved.
Hmm, well, this --
I was really hoping to make this video
a little bit longer.
It's kind of,
it's kind of all I got.
Well, this video's gonna be way too short.
No one's gonna wanna watch a video
of me solving a puzzle for a minute.
Do I shoot it again and pretend I didn't solve it?
Nah.
Do I just solve another puzzle?
This is my whole video today.
Content, content, content.
Oh, I've got an idea.
My cat Blue has an incredible singing talent.
Hey, Blue!
(meows)
♪ Twinkle, twinkle little ♪
You gotta sing with me, buddy.
All right, you wanna go outside,
you're gonna have to sing for me here.
♪ Twinkle, twinkle little ♪
♪ How I wonder what you ♪
♪ Up above the clouds so ♪
All right, Blue, listen.
This is how it works, all right?
Listen to me.
Blue, concentrate.
♪ Twinkle, twinkle little ♪
You gotta sing.
(meows)
♪ Up above the clouds so ♪
♪ Up above -- ♪
That's your cue, Blue.
♪ Twinkle, twinkle little ♪
♪ How I wonder what you ♪
You just did it.
(meows)
You know what?
Get outta here, go.
You can no longer stay here until you're ready to sing.
You're banned from this house
until you sing with me.
You gonna sing now, Blue?
All right, fine.
What happened back there?
I see how it is.
You're just gonna ignore me now?
Hmm?
Hey, hey.
What if I take your food away?
Ha ha, you gonna sing now, Blue?

All right, good enough.
Have your food back.
Oh, so check this out.
This is an actual really cool thing
that I just picked up.
The idea is, I have this pipe,
this metal pipe, as you can see.
It kinda looks like a flute.
If I take this little ball bearing
I can drop it right through.
Right through, right to the ground.
Not super amazing.
If you concentrate, here's what you can actually do.
It now drops through super slowly
and that wasn't in slow motion.
This ball actually just drops through.
(laughs)
I don't know why I get so excited
with these stupid things.
It's actually just a magnetic ball
that you switch out for the real one.
So the real one's here.
You switch it out
for the magnetic one.
And the real one just kinda
drops right through, but then the magnetic one --
Man, how cool is that?
There's something really satisfying about that.
So yeah.
What else?
All right, guys, well that's it for the vlog.
Kind of a random day, but I just kinda felt
like shooting something.
Did you just hear that?
Sounds like someone's,
like someone's in my office.
- And with my powers, I will --
This is my time.
You know that this was my time to practice.
We had this discussion before.
Camera outta my face.
Listen, man, all right?
This is my house, you're a guest here.
I don't mind you practicing magic in my office.
Just not while I'm trying to do a video, all right?
Okay, so there's this app
that I signed up for called Cameo
where basically fans pay creators
to give them a shout-out.
I don't know how I feel about this app quite yet,
but I got a really cool message
from this kid called Jacob Brown.
Jacob's turning 13, he's a fan of the channel,
and I thought it'd be really cool
to not only wish him a happy birthday
on the Cameo app but to also throw him in the vlog.
What's goin' on, Jacob Brown?
I hear your birthday's coming up, buddy.
I wanted to wish you a happy birthday.
I know you're a big fan of the channel
and you've got the mug, you've got the t-shirt
and everything else, so I wanted
to do you a solid today, not only send you
a happy birthday through Cameo
but Jacob, guess what?
You're on the vlog, buddy!
Happy birthday.
Peace!
All right, guys, that is really it for the vlog.
Honestly just felt like kinda shootin'
something silly and showin' you guys some things
and that puzzle, that whole puzzle thing
where I actually solved it was completely real.
Just got this puzzle and ended up solving it
and kinda didn't wanna upload a one-minute video.
That is the result,
so guys, if you liked this video,
go ahead and like and subscribe.
We'll see you on the next one.
Peace!
