- And this is my messy office.
Don't look at that.
All right, guys, using a deck of cards,
we're gonna create a bit of a portal,
and here's how it works.
I'm gonna go ahead and select any card.
So here, make sure all the cards are different.
All right, I'm going to have you take any card.
I'll do it for you, 'cause you obviously
don't have any arms.
Six of diamonds, keep your eye on that six of diamonds.
I'm gonna leave it sticking out right here,
and in a second, you'll see why,
because if we take the six of diamonds,
watch what happens, just like that.
Kinda like a portal that teleports to the other side.
All right, enough of that, let's get into today's video.
Yeah, what's up, and welcome back.
I don't know why I did that.
Welcome back, guys, nice to see your faces.
We got another puzzle for you.
Before I get into that, I just wanna
say something real quick.
This right here, what you're looking at right here,
this is the face of the V2 First Playing Cards
that aren't printed, that are just being cut out right now,
and I'm not gonna show you the back design just yet,
'cause I wanna have them in my hands done
before I show them to you,
so there's no delay or unnecessary hype.
Stay tuned for that.
I'm actually excited about this.
I'm doing some renovations at the house.
I'm setting up my office to also be a streaming station.
I've got a whole streaming, computer game setup.
I'm gonna be on Twitch quite a bit,
playing video games, hanging out,
chatting with you guys if you guys wanna come chat,
but mostly just playing video games.
I'll leave a Twitch link below,
you guys can follow me there.
I'm jumping from console to PC.
That's the big leap, we're going into
computer gaming in 2019.
All right guys, enough talking,
let's get into this puzzle.
This is a level eight, it's a triangle dovetail puzzle
by the name of Pro Number One.
This is an actual limited edition,
limited edition, limited edition.
Why do I do this to myself?
There are only 300 of these in the entire world.
That makes this quite limited.
It looks, I'm intimidated, not gonna lie.
Quite intimidating because there is
nothing to really go on.
This is an impossible little object.
Its predecessor might've been the square dovetail,
impossible dovetail box,
which is really interesting and frightening.
Super well designed, quite heavy, made of metal.
Anyways, let's get into solving this puzzle.
Not much going on.
There's a bit of a sound in here, a bit of a rattle.
I know that these type of dovetail puzzles
solve with a slam.
I'm gonna try that first.
Let's try it.
Hm, they kinda slide.
I don't know what to, oh, the timer.
I don't know what to do.
I'm just.
Turn it?
Ah, that hurts.
By the way, these are burns from flash vapor,
so note to future self, stop playing with flash vapor
around your very beautiful and luxurious closeup pad,
which you've now ruined.
You hear that?
Oh, I feel a wiggle, I feel a wiggle.
There's a slight wiggle right here, very slight.
(rattling)
Give it a good ol' spin-a-roo.
Negative.
I'm gonna try banging on it.
I'm gonna break this closeup pad.
Strength is not required apparently,
because I am very strong.
See that, look at that.
Listen, something's going on.
Boom, that's it, that's gotta be it.
Still no.
There, take one of those, huh?
I could be breaking it.
This thing is annoying, this is on my desk
and all you hear is, like.
(rattling)
Upside down you go.
Maybe you have to listen.
(laughing)
I don't know what to do.
It's pretty.
It's one of those I just leave on a shelf
that looks really good.
I don't know which side yOu're gonna slide out on.
Maybe if I stare at it very intimidatingly.
(sinister music)
Intimidation 100.
Imagine if it just came apart.
It's only been four minutes and
I'm already losing my mind, I think.
There's a little tiny hole right there,
a little gap.
I don't know what that's for.
Come on.
Ow, actually ow.
It's break dancing.
My hand is getting really red.
It stopped making noise a little bit.
It stopped rattling for a second.
What makes this a little bit more difficult than
the normal dovetail puzzle is it's a triangle.
With the dovetail puzzle, it sorta slides off the corners,
and that doesn't make sense with a triangle,
so I don't know how this is supposed to open,
which is very clver.
Props to you, puzzle man, breaking my hand, essentially.
I don't know what to do.
This is very difficult, very difficult!
So, the only way I could see this opening
is if it twisted, and as I try to twist it,
there's a very, very minute amount of give.
I don't know if the camera can pick that up.
Very, very tiny amount of give,
and it feels like it wants to rotate,
but there's something blocking that from rotating.
And if you rotate it a little bit,
there's like an actual little bit of give,
like the camera wouldn't even be able to pick it up,
and you feel it.
And I think that's the only way this would open
is if we rotate it, but I'm sure there's a rod
or a bearing here somewhere
that's preventing that from happening.
And according to the old dovetail puzzle,
you would give it a smack
and the bearing would be lodged,
shot up onto the magnet or hole or something
and you could open it and it would slide out.
I don't, I've been banging this thing
every which way in every possible orientation.
Nothing's happened so far.
So, knowing where to smack this puzzle
is probably, it's just tedious,
'cause you have to do every angle multiple times,
and it's hurting my hand.
I'll try to bang it on this thing.
What if I just made it kind of disappear?
Bam, I'm just kidding, I just threw it on my lap.
Interesting, very interesting.
Is there something different about this one?
I'm sure there's an extra step I'm missing here.
Whoa, whoa!
When in doubt, ladies and gents, just spin.
Oh, of course it's a spin move!
Of course it's a spin move!
That's what the difference was.
It wasn't a bang, it wasn't a smack, it was a spin!
I should've known.
See these pins here?
That's what the sound was.
It wasn't a ball bearing at all,
these are little rods, and those rods come out.
Wait, don't wanna lose those.
This rod goes in here I think.
Nope, we're good, we're good.
Jeez, okay, they do fall out.
So these rods, this is actually really cool.
Hell yes, I am so happy that the solution was this,
mostly because my hand hurts.
A bit tricky to get 'em all in there.
But how well-machined is this little puzzle?
I'm thoroughly impressed.
And then there's also holes here,
and that's where it ends up.
Cool, huh?
The craftsmanship is just absolutely beautiful on this.
I really love puzzles of this kind,
like the metal ones that look like they're from space.
Boom, look at that, fits right like a glove,
and then you give it a little shake,
and it no longer opens.
Wow, so sick, what a nice touch
to the dovetail puzzle.
Wow, that's cool, I like the way this looks.
It's heavy too, by the way.
All right guys, that's it for this puzzle.
All right guys, that's it!
I'm so happy that I solved it,
mostly because I can't feel
the palm of my hands anymore.
I actually hurt my hands.
They're quite bruised right now.
I shoulda spun it, I shoulda spun it.
I shoulda spun it, bro.
A lot of fun, nonetheless.
I'm glad that's over with, but it's a sick puzzle,
really cool, fun to just leave on the table and be like,
hey, this opens up, try it,
and watch them squirm and break their hand.
Anyway guys, hope you enjoyed the content.
Look forward to the next video,
as it's gonna be a banger.
We are filming something for Halloween,
something super special, and I can't wait for
you guys to see it.
