- Oh hey, so today I'm gonna show you
some really neat optical illusions made with,
of all things, pancakes.
(strawberry drops)
(jazz music)
(knocks on door)
- [Zachary] Yo!
- Yo, what's up?
- [Zachary] You ready to make some pancakes?
- I thought we were doing optical illusions.
- [Zachary] Yeah, optical illusion pancakes!
- I don't think that's possible
- [Zachary] That is a thing.
- No, its not. - [Zachary] Yep, I have a,
dude, I have a printer for pancakes.
- Of course you do.
- So this is a 3D,
don't eat that, that's for-
- I'm hungry, man!
- Dude, essentially this is like a 3D printer
and I was thinking we could make
some optical illusions with this.
So I took some very popular illusions.
This thing actually has software
that's pancake designer software.
- Okay. - And so I like,
traced some illusions and I want to see if they turn out.
When you think you know what it is, guess.
- Okay, so now it's filling it in, hmm.
- Ah, it's messing up the sides there a little bit.
Yeah, I don't know what I think about this thing.
Okay, it's almost done.
- Oh shoot, I totally see something on this side.
- What do you see?
- I see a face.
- [Zachary] That's so cool.
All right, one pancake illusion coming right up.
(rubs hands)
Oh no, I'm gonna break it.
- No, you got this,
you got this. - You gotta get another one.
Three, two, one, go.
(pancake flops) - [Nate] Oh!
- [Zachary] Oof!
- Close one.
- [Zachary] Yeah, I can see it.
Okay, that is pancake illusion number one right there,
the Vase Face. - [Nate] Wow.
(jazz music)
- This next, did you just eat this?
All right, here we go.
I'm playing around with anamorphic illusions.
This is one of those where
it's really all about perspectives.
This one when you're looking straight down
it doesn't make sense,
but it's going to be about this siding,
while I'm printing it sideways.
- So, - Coming out 3D.
- it's taking a pause because what this does
is you can burn lines
into stuff by letting it cook longer
than the rest of the batter
so when it comes back it'll fill in these gaps,
kind of making these darker lines.
That's the idea, I don't know if it's going to work.
It's comin' back.
I'm adjusting the pressure knob to like release more.
- Whoa! - Whoa!
- [Nate] Oh, oh, oh,
- [Zachary] Oh no! - thin it, thin it, thin it,
thin it! - I'm on zero.
- [Nate] Now I'm gettin'- - Whoa, that was beautiful.
Okay question, I've got some Nutella
and I got some chocolate, what do you want?
- I thought it's Nu-tella.
- It's, - Nut-ella?
You say Nut-ella?
- I think it's Nut-ella.
- I think it's Nu-tella.
- [Zachary] Okay, let us know down in the comments
what you guys think it is.
Oh no, it's- - Aw, it's spilling.
- [Zachary] Spilling, stay, stay, stay.
- You gotta just flip it.
Just go, just go, just gotta go for it.
(scrapes pan) - It's not ready, it's,
I just did this.
- Gotta commit.
(scrapes pan) - It's not ready, Nate.
Three, two. (gasps)
- Yo, that worked! - Whoa!
(speaking in slow motion)
- [Zachary] Yes. - [Nate] You can totally
see the lines.
Wow, that- - Okay, I didn't think
that would work that well.
Probably not from this camera angle, you can see it.
But we'll show you on a plate here.
(jazz music)
Got boom, that big.
Stop eating those, Nate.
- I'm hungry, man!
(jazz music)
(whipped cream sprays)
- Pick a card.
- Okay.
- This isn't really a pancake illusion.
It's more of a magic trick, but still.
Show everyone your card.
- Okay
- I can see it, it's fine.
- Oh, you sure?
- Yeah
- Okay
So, eight of hearts.
- Cool
- All right
- So, I'm gonna put that down here.
It is the eight of hearts.
I'm gonna start pressing it into the pancake.
And as I press it in.
It's actually
- [Nate] Whoa
- Been transferred into-
- [Nate] Wait what?
- There it is.
- That is your
- What the heck?
- Eight of hearts, it is all mushed up now.
- That's crazy.
Is it edible?
- You tell me.
- No that's still, that's a card, wow.
(drum symbols)
- [Zachary] All right so,
oh that's hot, okay do you see
what it is yet?
Don't say, don't say what it is yet.
Do you see-
- [Nate] It's two images right?
- Yeah do you know this one?
- I know this one yeah.
- Okay so, there's an image here
that makes up two images.
There is a bonus one that's hidden, that's
- There's a third one?
- I'm gonna say it's reaching.
- Okay
- But there is a third one.
But, I want you guys to comment down below
if you know what the two images
are here that you see.
- Should we help it out.
- [Nate] Add a little spice to it.
- A little chocolate.
- [Zachary] Ah, nice touch.
- Comment if you know what images are in here.
(drum symbols)
- Let's whip up some more.
- Okay
- I don't know if this one
is going to turn out.
I tested it this morning
and it was kinda getting weird.
This is an illusion I actually
did for a Lego video.
I love this one, it's
just a Penrose Triangle.
It's also got shading
to make this one work.
- Got ya
- And so if it doesn't cook properly
then it's not gonna work.
- [Zachary} No, it didn't really work.
- [Nate] Can you like
- Tap it in?
- So why don't you flip it?
- All right here we go.
- Oh
Three, two
- [Nate] Perfect flip.
- It, it
- Ya know
- [Zachary] Why did this get burnt so fast?
- [Nate] I don't think this is evenly heated.
- Why don't you eat the Penrose.
- It's kind of hot.
That's hot man!
Careful.
- I'm trying to show it off.
This is the Penrose, this is
what it's supposed to look like.
Comment if you want me to mail this to you.
It'll probably be good for 3 days
- Yeah, definitely
- in the post office.
(jazz music)
- Are you ready for another one?
- Do it, let's go.
Do I get to eat it?
- All right this next print is
gonna test all of you guys' estimation skills.
It's cute, I put little letters in there.
- [Nate] I see that, it's adorable.
- That's A and that's B.
And here's the question.
Which one is larger?
A or B?
- Well definitely B.
- Right, isn't that weird?
- It's not?
- Nope
- How's it not larger?
- Nate this episode is called optical illusion.
It's obviously, they're the same.
- [Nate] Is it an angle thing?
- What's tripping you out is,
they're arched right here right?
It looks like they're connected.
But this point if you
really were to line it up right here.
It would be equal length.
For example, if this is dry enough,
I will lay them on top just to prove it.
Hot, hot.
It burns!
It burns.
Check that out.
- [Nate] No way.
- Ah
- That's cool.
- Yeah is that cool?
If you guys got that
correct, comment below.
Oh you wanna eat this?
- actually I could.
You just gotta bundle it up.
Add some chocolate.
- I don't if people have eaten illusions before.
- You're right.
- We might be pioneering a new restaurant.
We could open a restaurant!
Put it on Yelp.
- But we also open up a cooking show.
- No one wants to learn from us cooking.
(laughing)
I have a freaking pancake maker
in my living room.
- That is true.
But they don't need to know that.
- So I hope you guys
enjoyed these optical illusion.
For fun we just made a little
play icon here for you.
We got a video here,
here and subscribe over there.
I will bet you a hundred dollars
if you can eat that in thirty seconds.
- All right , I'll do it.
- Seriously?
- Yep, I have nothing to lose.
I'm young.
- Thirty seconds on the clock.
Go.
(speed talking)
(laughing)
Time is up you might as well spit that out.
( laughing)
