- [Narrator] This is West Barker.
(West screams)
(upbeat music)
- [West] Did it go?
Did it go?
(West screams)
- One of my best friends and self-proclaimed stunt magician.
- So if you stand apart of apart, look,
look at that.
Can't go anywhere.
(West groans)
(upbeat music)
- [Narrator] West loves building the strangest
and, - All for you.
- [Narrator] most dangerous contraptions
I've ever seen. - See right here,
balloons just pull it all right?
When I let it go,
(wind blowing)
(woman screams)
- [Woman] I need to try this in our building.
What the heck?
- [Narrator] So a couple of weeks ago,
I challenged West to build me a puzzle box.
Mind you he's never built a puzzle box in his entire life.
- Oh, it's morning again,
so that means I'm back at building the puzzle.
(West laughs)
This is harder than I thought.
- [Narrator] Well this is what he came up with.
(upbeat music)
If you guys wanna go check out West channel
I highly recommend it.
The link is in the description.
He even has a video on how he built this puzzle.
This, is West Barker's
Amazing Magic Kit.
So, there you have it.
That is the story of why we are currently here,
with West Barker.
- Hey guys.
This is my brain in a box Chris.
- Look at this anomaly.
When he told me that he was going to build,
a puzzle.
This is exactly what I had imagined.
So I'm very, very excited.
Is this supposed to be the magician showing the thumb tips?
- Yeah.
I used thumb tips,
I used the zombie ball.
- Alright, before we get into this West,
what was the inspiration for this?
Since we have the creator.
Very rare that we get to interview the creator
of the puzzle.
- I don't know.
I guess I've been hanging out with you too much
seeing all these puzzles,
and I wake up literally from a dead sleep,
3 in the morning.
And I was like,
"I got an idea for a puzzle box."
For no reason.
I never build a puzzle box in my life.
- One of my favorite puzzles in the world.
I didn't care how it works.
Might auction it off.
We'll get, you know what?
Maybe we'll auction it off,
and then we'll get you a new camera.
- Yeah, I would,
I'd be well and truly into that.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, let's do that please.
- All right.
All right.
So I mean, check out the eBay link below,
is currently on auction.
All proceeds will go to West Barker.
He needs a new camera.
- Where's your confidence level on this right now?
- Very high.
(West and Chris laugh)
- Shortest video you ever done?
- Well, that's why I'm trying to make it longer.
(West and Chris laugh)
All right.
Get the hell out of here.
(Chris whistles)
[Chris] West Barker's
Amazing Magic Kit.
I mean, first things first,
this thing, listen teeters.
West, he asked me to be fragile
and delicate with it because, he's fearful.
He's not fearful that I won't solve it,
he's fearful that I won't solve it without it breaking.
West you tell me, you tell me if it like no, no, no,
don't, it will break.
Am I doing okay here?
(upbeat music)
- Oh.
Oh.
(Chris laughs)
They're magnetic.
And there is, yeah?
Let's just give me the thumbs up here.
(soft jazz music)
(Chris laughs)
Size of these, it's amazing.
Oh, okay.
So that opens as soon as that bolt comes off.
Okay doesn't unscrew.
Here we go.
(soft jazz music)
Oh.
Oh that's interesting.
So we have this, we have these little, it's like a spin it.
(soft jazz music)
That is amazing.
That's pretty.
That's pretty cool.
Look at that.
This is just a big ad for this,
for this eBay auction.
Is all it is.
So I'm gonna try to make it look as good as possible.
So here I can see like there's something purple under there.
You got, you got these things here.
Yeah this thing, is also a magnet.
(Chris laughs)
Oh, and then the bolts.
No.
Yes, yes.
Why these bolts would screw in,
is
beyond me.
Okay.
What do we got going on here?
We got something.
Oh, hello?
Oh there's sound.
What am I looking at right now?
(Chris laughs)
This is amazing.
(jazz music)
Something's here.
Something's going on over here,
on this side.
You can hear it.
Listen.
(jazz music)
Why are these here?
I don't understand that at all.
So there're legs under here.
Do I, do I touch the underneath of it?
Nope.
Okay.
And this is okay that this is here?
Wow.
Just gonna,
this all this is is like just a piece of modern art really.
When you look at it.
(Chris laughs)
This is so good.
There really is something here.
Winding it up.
I've gotta move this somewhere.
Okay let's see what else is here.
This doesn't move.
This is just decoration I think.
This, there's nothing else.
There's nothing else I can do.
I'm looking on the inside here.
Okay there's something going on there.
There's definitely something going on there on the inside.
Hmm.
I have no clue why this would need to screw in here.
It feels like that's just like, abstract.
Looking for, signs of life here on the sides.
Still.
Oh.
(jazz music)
(Chris chuckles)
Am I supposed to take it off?
- [West] Yeah.
But there is.
There is, I'm realizing now 2 ways to do it.
(West laughs)
- Really?
- [West] You're not doing it the way I intended it.
- No?
(indistinct)
There are locks here.
There's something locking this.
I feel it.
(jazz music)
(Chris laughs)
Wait, so what was, what were these locks?
I'm very curious.
Oh what the heck?
Look at this.
There's a lock under there and another box.
Oh, so the magnet was just sticking to that.
What was the magnet sticking to?
Oh is oh.
Look at this.
There's a ball-bearing here, on the inside.
And a ball-bearing here on the inside,
and that was holding everything together?
Wait, hold on.
(jazz music)
And these fit halfway?
(Chris gasps)
So those were locks.
Wow.
Okay.
So West had cut half holes into the lid
and the base of this.
And so if this was half,
like that,
it would be stuck.
Apparently not.
Finally I figured it.
I figured a way to get around that but the idea was probably
to,
pull these inwards, so that it would lift out.
Correct?
(indistinct)
Oh.
Okay.
So there's two ways to do it.
So the other way of doing it, would have been to spin,
and then knock them out.
That's genius.
Okay.
I gotta, sorry.
I gotta put all this back together
and I have to try this now.
So this goes here.
(jazz music)
Wow.
(jazz music)
So, this...
(indistinct)
This way? - [West] Yeah.
(jazz music)
Yeah.
- [Chris] Oh, it's locked here.
So now, now...
Oh this is genius Wes.
So it's locked
and I would have to like actually slam it.
That's fun.
I never get to do this with puzzles
they are way too delicate.
Thank you.
(jazz music)
And now it would lift off
because they would have been knocked in, inwards.
Alright.
Oh, this is cool.
This is dope.
So we got the one box here with the lock.
And then we have this second logo here,
which is amazing,
and whatever this is here.
So I need a tool to get into there to be able to move that.
(jazz music)
Oh, there's a lock here, but this doesn't open.
(jazz music)
So it's like some type of internal maze
I'm guessing over here.
And this lock is glued.
There's a lock here
and that is glued to the base of it.
So there's no getting that lock off.
This has to come out.
Next step, this has to come out.
(jazz music)
It's so good.
(jazz music)
It doesn't come out.
(jazz music)
It has to clear that,
before it can open anything.
Oh my God!
(Chris exclaims)
(jazz music)
This is so,
amazing.
Look at the inside of this.
So here is a maze that West made.
(Chris laughs)
It's an actual working maze.
I am so impressed right now West.
Incredible.
And then he had a freaking mouse trap in there to scare
the crap out of me.
Was that the only point of that?
- [West] Yeah.
(Chris laughs)
(jazz music)
So now I'm terrified of mouse traps.
I'm guessing the key is, for this.
So put this aside for now.
How, how excited are you right now that I'm doing this?
- [West] I love it.
- Yeah, it's so great dude.
I'm having a blast.
This is a great puzzle.
(jazz music)
Of course it doesn't fit.
Of course it's not the right key.
This key is made for this.
Correct?
(Chris laughs)
A red herring.
West you sly dog.
The key is actually here.
There we go.
(jazz music)
And that unlocks this.
What the hell am I looking at now?
(jazz music)
(Chris laughs)
(jazz music)
Oh my God.
(Chris laughs)
Well, to the lucky eBay bidder,
there's gonna be whiskey,
at the bottom of this puzzle.
This, that's a first.
The crowd cheers.
Come on crowd.
Let's go.
Give it up.
Yo this is awesome.
This is wicked.
I don't, you got a Scott towel?
That is amazing.
I'm so happy right now.
(Chris laughs)
This, Wes,
this is the best prize
I've ever received at the end of a puzzle.
Alright, we're gonna, we're gonna make sure
this doesn't smell entirely.
I, I've never seen this.
This is, so this is a flask,
that also has a cigar holder in it,
which is amazing.
(Chris coughs)
It's like 11 in the morning right now.
Get down here.
Get over here.
- You solved it bud.
(West laughs)
Guy, the fact that you did this,
is blowing my mind right now.
- Oh. - You
sir are capable of everything.
- Thank you very much.
This was a, yeah...
I'm glad I got it out of my brain.
- [Chris} What!
Oh wow.
Guys, if you enjoyed this solve, please leave a like,
please subscribe to my buddy Wes here.
Was it?
Oh, what does that say?
- Don't smoke kids.
And he's right.
You shouldn't smoke.
And I won't smoke this either.
In fact, I'm gonna put this right back.
And, this goes out to the lucky eBay bidder.
- Man you crashed through this thing.
It was great.
It was fun to watch you do it.
I didn't know...
It's fun to see your brain work against my brain.
- Yeah.
- It was like a kinda weird.
(West laughs)
- It's a (indistinct).
- Oh yeah.
- It just wasn't whiskey at all.
(West and Chris laugh)
- The antidote's actually in that one.
(Chris laughs)
- This, I had so much fun.
Dude, I don't know what is more impressive.
I'm trying to, I'm trying to figure it out.
Okay the spin move with a halt is something
I've never seen before.
- That was the idea that I woke up and had.
The spinning and hitting the thing.
'Cause I'm like, I've seen ones you bang all the time,
- Yeah.
- and once you spin,
I'm like how about spin and have a bang
to knock them out.
And that's why it was so...
And it was so hard to make that.
That's why I was like,
"Please just work."
- Dude this is so interesting because
there are puzzle crafters out there,
that are reusing old ideas to make puzzles
and stuff, but, and, and you don't expect someone,
like I mean, that's just the perfect thing.
If someone who's not a puzzle crafter,
but who's, who's got his own ideas to come in,
you know, blindside puzzle crafters, and be like,
"I'm gonna make something that's totally unique
"that I haven't seen before."
The maze is actually,
I think one of the most impressive things
about this whole thing.
- It was my favorite one.
It turned out, I was like,
"This is really cool."
I didn't have the right tools.
The machine ones I had to use it
like a soldering iron and burn,
burn it through plastic.
- [Chris] Wow.
This is fun though.
But the fact that the nail so freely
and, and it's very satisfying as well,
when you're doing this, it's not like it's not hard at all.
And he made some, he made some traps here,
so you get stuck like it, like when you're down here,
like,
"Oh no, I'm stuck here."
This is a well-thought-out maze.
The nail idea is so great.
It's so simple.
- [West] And try and do it on like the wand
to keep the theme, you know?
- [Chris] Yep.
Absolutely.
With the amazing feats, the different colors.
This thing is so colorful and pretty on the inside.
- [West] Yeah.
I needed to brighten up your channel a little bit.
- [Chris] So much better on the inside.
(West laughs)
Even, even this little, the, the, you know,
the little extra, the little extra key,
the little red herring when you gave me,
of course it's not the key to unlock anything.
It was a key for this, wasn't it?
- Yeah.
- It was a key for this lock?
- Yeah.
- Dude.
So, so, so, so good.
It almost pains me to throw this on eBay
because this is something I would, I would have this open.
It's so much
more interesting. - Displaying it open is really
really the way.
- It's so much more interesting.
And I'm kinda sad to part with that
cigar-whiskey combo,
thing.
But guys, here it is.
I've been looking forward to this for months.
West Barker never ceases to amaze and astound me.
