The arc lamp was used as a ray lamp to get a 'sun tan' which also had two infrared coils for heat treatment therapy. It also had a pair of green goggles to protect the eyes. My parents had one of these leathal lamps in the 50's and as my mother was adjusting the carbon rods, she got electrocuted and knocked out, after CPR my father put her to bed and luckily she survived and recovered. The lamp was never used again.. 🌞 😎 💥 😨 🌛
There was one episode where he actually showed a gimicky butt plug. I am still not sure if he was actually unaware of what it really was, or is he just the king of deadpan. Love him all the same.
It is also a glassmaking term (the opening in the furnace through which gobs of molten glass are withdrawn by means of tools), but I am also aware of (and somewhat repulsed by) the NSFW definition.
Dan Harris hmm I didn't even think about the unfilltered UV off that arc. Probably not so bad as welding though because its not nearly as hot. I bet it's hell on radios though.
I think this episode has the most meme potential of them all, Tim's noises in the beginning, "lots of spaghetti", "three of them in my glory hole". Tim shows off his cool old gadgets and provides fantastic laughs all at once!
So glad I found this channel. Truly amazing stuff, and Tim is real soothing. watched this last night until I fell asleep. Don't know why Americans many of us have a liking to hear English voices
Tim, i'd just like to thank you for the happiness and joy you bring to people like me. Im going through a lot right now, i have a son with special needs, and sometime its a very overwhelming and lonely world i live in. But you make me forget about all of that, if only for a little bit. Its like a quick visit with an old friend.
Tim is so cheery and inviting. If Tim doesn't have a museum to show some of the unique trinkets of this age, he definitely should. I bet it would have regular visitors.
I was NOT ready for that Intro... And Especially not since I was skipping the title sequence with my keyboard I thought my brain was short circuiting for a second Omg Tim haha
Tim's like a Mr Rogers from another world. He's very mellow and comforting to watch. And all he's doing is showing off some toys! It makes very much sense as to why people enjoy watching these innocent and genuine "toy review" videos. Keep up the great work Tim!
It's allways such a pleasure to see you, dear Tim! I was thinking... i really miss out on something on youtube, and all of a sudden i had the eureka moment and remembered i haven't seen you for quite some time. I wonder how the notifications were turned off. Unfortunately i dont have a working p.c. and use only my mini tablet, cause i still blame myself for not sharing you on my own youtube account yet. I love your videos, Tim! Thank you for sharing! 😁💖👍
Used to work in a orthopaedic hospital years ago, they had very similar ones they still used for therapies(the heat helps with the pain and relaxation, there was a different model that produced UV rays so it helped bone growth etc..)
I uncapped an old forgotten WWII bunker in Australia and abseiled down it's vent shaft and found a room full of fun things, including mysterious rods that no one knew what they were for. I suspected they were carbon arc rods for search lights, and sure enough, they were. There was a lot of fun stuff left in situ down there, as though when WWII ended they just downed tools and back filled the entrance to the fort. Rusted old rifles (ironically in a country with a total gun ban), tea cups and plates still on tables, rotted paperwork everywhere. But those carbon rods were the stand outs as they looked mind, even the print was intact on the side. They were about as long as your forearm and as thick as your thumb.
had to watch the beginning like 10 times :D entertainer of the millenium! when i need to calm down or get creativ i watch your show, tim. you are just amazing!
This episode really is the best. The glory hole at 1:13 The "oh shit" at 7:42 The random spaghetti, And the fact that he says the episode is about electric toys and then brings out a fucking lamp.
This is the wildest episode of grand illusions and I love it
0:10 me when I recive a grand illusions notification
"I'm not mad"
impossibro tv z
Megalodawn they all say that.
Me when I see a Grand Illusions notification from 4 hours ago 7:42
If you press the left arrow right he finishes, it loops perfectly. You're welcome
Tim spitting straight fire in the intro of the video, saying "glory hole" and "oh shit"..best Grand Illusions video thus far
lol
"the sweet spot" ;)
Yes, I laughed when he said "Glory Hole." Lol

Love him all the same.
7:40 hearing Tim say "oh shit" brought a new kind of joy into my life.
When exatcly?
@@jaredsjardsjard5752 7:42
Are you sure its not "oh shoot"?
Hearing him saying "oh shit", I thought "OH SHIT".
he says oh shoot
I love that you can watch Tim for years and years, but then discover new video's still and be absolutly blown away by his collection and mannerisms.
Ok...I’m 100% sure that Grand Illusions are aware of memes
I sure hope they are. I want them to make fun of it by easter eggs, like when they hinted at knowing about "[anything] from the Nile"
Asgardium - Tomclanys wait when did they hint that?
Following, because I want to know too. 😅
Tim acknowledged it in his New Years Video
Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/Jn5lCJ9e2Ts/v-deo.html
Asgardium - Tomclanys memes from the nile
''Electric toys''
* tim whips out a giant lamp *
tim whips out a giant lamp from his glory hole!
7:41 oh shit
morgan williams shit from the nile.
I was looking to see if anyone else heard that.
Andrew Ehler same :)
Oopsie daisy.
This can't be happening
Google says, "glory hole - an untidy storage place, especially a room or cupboard."
yeah but when your fan base is the internet, you can only expect the worst
Try it with safe search off
It is also a glassmaking term (the opening in the furnace through which gobs of molten glass are withdrawn by means of tools), but I am also aware of (and somewhat repulsed by) the NSFW definition.
I’m quite sure he means that. Tim is definitely a gentleman from another era :-)
I learned something new today
0:09 *"You got any special talents?"*
Tim talks of his glory hole, gives himself arc eye and then curses. What an episode!
Dan Harris hmm I didn't even think about the unfilltered UV off that arc. Probably not so bad as welding though because its not nearly as hot. I bet it's hell on radios though.
"Heh"
Also the beginning parg
@Socrates was real and he tried to eat my ass no he didnt say that
Glory hole?
west frank Tim is so innocent.
Agreed!
I knew when i heard it somebody had already commented on it
Glory hole.......
Glory hole.
0:10 phitt'a bitt'a bah-BAH
djuhBLL blbl djuh djuh
bababa
hah pff hah chrrr
finefin perfect
I'M THE SCATMAN.
Thank you, I was looking for the lyrics
add "lyrics:" before it
BARZ
Who else would love to see a "Tim reads comments" video?
YES!
THIS PLEASE
This to infinity
not after this episode
Yes, perhaps a different episode would be more suitable... XD
I think this episode has the most meme potential of them all, Tim's noises in the beginning, "lots of spaghetti", "three of them in my glory hole". Tim shows off his cool old gadgets and provides fantastic laughs all at once!
0:10 Tim be dropping that new techno album on us🤘😆🤘
Omg 1:12 Tim confirms not only that he has a gloryhole but also that he brings toys to it.
7:42 DID TIM JUST SWEAR ON MY GOOD CHRISTIAN SERVER??
Permafunk oop shit
Permafunk The past tense of swear is swert.
Vicente Temes what's your point?
What are you guys even talking about?
I think he said "oopsie". I hope he said "oopsie".
9:34 ...did he just say sting rays are from science fiction? this episode is a goldmine
there was a show called stingray it was with puppets like thunderbirds
String rays not sting
Sting is from Newcastle
Teacher: Why are you laughing?
Me: No reason
My brain: 0:10
Parents: “Are you okay? You’ve been so distant lately”
Me: “yeah, I just have a lot on my mind right now”
My brain: 0:10
my friends: ur so dumb bro
me: no I'm not
also me: 0:10
Tim uses ancient alien technology to try to open a multi-dimensional portal
This man is a national treasure.
So glad I found this channel. Truly amazing stuff, and Tim is real soothing. watched this last night until I fell asleep. Don't know why Americans many of us have a liking to hear English voices
Tim, i'd just like to thank you for the happiness and joy you bring to people like me. Im going through a lot right now, i have a son with special needs, and sometime its a very overwhelming and lonely world i live in. But you make me forget about all of that, if only for a little bit.

¡Oh, my! Too much for just one episode: Tim beatboxing, swearing and mentioning his glory hole. ¡Marvelous!
PS: jk. love you, Tim!
Nicolás Sanchez Gasparini also saying stingrays are science fiction lmao what a ride
Extraordinary
Wow, these are some of my favorite toys in Tim's collection. Especially the magnetic one.
7:42 - "oh shit!"
Tim you always make me smile with your fun and informative videos before bed. Thank you so much. Big hugs
Tim goes sicko mode. This comment is here for the time capsule
2020 is going sicko mode on us
Waaaaeeewww waaaaaeeeww waaaaeeeeww waeeeww
Thank You Tim, always great videos with wonderful items.........Cheers!
Scot Wyland that's extraordinary
I bet you caught a lot of girls with that machine, Sir Tim
Let's be Honest Official in his glory hole
I bet that glory hole is full of water from the Nile....
"be honest" with obviousness i see... and a bit of strangely redundant jokes
Lewis Hancock
XD!
+Lewis Hancock hahaha
Tim is so cheery and inviting.
If Tim doesn't have a museum to show some of the unique trinkets of this age, he definitely should. I bet it would have regular visitors.
This is what the internet should be, educational and informative.
Spaghetti and glory holes. Why I love grand illusions
This is the best channel I ever subbed to on UA-cam. Thanks Tim!! And whoever else helps with the channel.
1:14 "my gloryhole" ehmm excuse me? 😂
7:41 did I just hear Tim say oh shit !?!?!?!?!?!
YOU WERE SO PURE!!!!!!!!!
also 9:54 meme review
He’s trying to appeal to his general audience of depressed Zoomers and millennials
I think he said whoopsie
holy shit someone needs to remix this episode.
Y T P
smol p somethings in my glory hole, oh shit AH DOO DOO DAH...no I'm not mad
remind me tomorrow
don't say that
@@giddycadet it’s been two years but i’m gonna remind you anyway
I was NOT ready for that Intro...
And Especially not since I was skipping
the title sequence with my keyboard
I thought my brain was short circuiting for a second
Omg Tim haha
his what
yes his Glory Hole
Tim's like a Mr Rogers from another world. He's very mellow and comforting to watch. And all he's doing is showing off some toys! It makes very much sense as to why people enjoy watching these innocent and genuine "toy review" videos. Keep up the great work Tim!
This is the peak performance of grand illusions, its *mwah* perfection
I absolutely love this channel i hope it never stops
My favorite band, Electric Light Orchestim
James McDohl electric light orspasm, oh shit
It's allways such a pleasure to see you, dear Tim! I was thinking... i really miss out on something on youtube, and all of a sudden i had the eureka moment and remembered i haven't seen you for quite some time. I wonder how the notifications were turned off. Unfortunately i dont have a working p.c. and use only my mini tablet, cause i still blame myself for not sharing you on my own youtube account yet. I love your videos, Tim! Thank you for sharing! 😁💖👍
0:16 “No im not mad” id say otherwise after that incident Tim
Those carbon arc lamps were sold as Pifco sun lamps and you can tan in front of them. My mom had one from the old days.
Used to work in a orthopaedic hospital years ago, they had very similar ones they still used for therapies(the heat helps with the pain and relaxation, there was a different model that produced UV rays so it helped bone growth etc..)
Grandpa Tim don't scare me like that, I thought you were having a stroke.
THE TIM GOES SKRAA KAKAKAKAKA 0:10
I hate you but i love you
Someone YTP the intro to this one please. It’s a gold mine 👍
I uncapped an old forgotten WWII bunker in Australia and abseiled down it's vent shaft and found a room full of fun things, including mysterious rods that no one knew what they were for. I suspected they were carbon arc rods for search lights, and sure enough, they were.

1:14 did I heard that right
i don't know what im saying but. Yes sir he has a glory hole... We would obsolutely like to take a look at next time😂😂😂👍
Great bit of scatting there Tim. Truly fascinating electrical devices. Thanks for sharing them with us here in YT land.
Tim channelled the ghost of Scatman John for a bit at the beginning, there.
Tim is such a wonderful person, and full of surprises! The skat at the beginning, the glory hole, the inconspicuous swearing near the end...
Tim is a national treasure.
That carbon arc is also a fantastic science lesson. Really enjoyed it!
Interesting device but a complete death trap 😅
Another electric performance by Tim, the size of his toy collection is quite shocking if you ask me.
Naruto Uzumaki I know watt you mean, I was really amped up for this
Best start of any Tim video ever.
7:40 Tim this is a CHRISTIAN SERVER no SWEARING
It shows 2 replies but i dont see anu
*any
MrSavings Plays The two replies were _YOU_ all along!
Oh, this is Christian? So it's all made up and full of hate, damn.
had to watch the beginning like 10 times :D entertainer of the millenium! when i need to calm down or get creativ i watch your show, tim. you are just amazing!
“I’d burn me hands and electrocute myself at the same time” no idea why but that struck me very funny
I love this channel. Never fails to provide new wholesome content
Girl's locker room: uuuuugh, I hate PE
Boy's locker room: 0:10
Words can't possibly describe my love for that man
Just that intro alone....
For that magnet,, can I put a Beyblade (a spinning top with metal decals, for those of you unaware of its existence) under it to let it rip?
Ryan Leatigaga the fact that you had to explain that....
Yet you didn’t explain “let it rip”
omg I forgot about Beyblades
Perhaps but it would have to be sideways
[Aegus]
Wtf is your problem kid.
i never knew i needed tim being the scatman
Rather remarkable actually!!
This episode really is the best.
The glory hole at 1:13
The "oh shit" at 7:42
The random spaghetti,
And the fact that he says the episode is about electric toys and then brings out a fucking lamp.
me watching the first 5 seconds of this video: well that's it, tim finally lost it!
@6:20 amazing device, a Fourier harmonic generator, the loops are in equilibrium when the waves are normalized.
0:10 Tim needs help HELP HIM
justindor the wonder wizard he's fine the way he is
Justindor The Wonder Wizard do you like miss Kobayashis dragon maid
Tim is able to turn any party into a banger
Smoked a joint , wasn't ready for that first :20 of this video
0:10 - Tim's Mental Breakdown
1:13 - Tim's Glory Hole
7:40 - "Shit!"
What a entertaining video. Hahahhaha
7:42 he said oh shit
Anytime I load any of your videos, I just hit like immediately. There's no way I won't like it.
7:42 o.o
I saw a version of the string machine at the Exploritorium in San Francisco and I have to tell you it's really amazing to see in person!
7:42 did he just say "Oh shit" 😂😂😂😂
Yep😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🌚😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😁
me: aaah time to watch a grand illusions vi-
tim: AAUHUUHAAUHAAAUA *CLAP* *CLAP*
7:41 Oh no! Tim's lost his innocence, he said "Oh, Shit!"
10 minutes of Tim after a stressful day 😍 bless up
00:10 me trying to text a girl knowing there are probably like ten other dudes trying to text her too
lmao 😂
TIM THESE LIGHTS U SHOWED ARE COOL 😎 KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MY FRIEND
that string toy is cool!
4:46
ahhh, the good old 250 volt incandescent theatre light.
One of my favourite toys as a child
You have no idea what you’re talking about
TIM HAS GONE MAD!!
So glad Tim popped up on my algorithm🙌. I subbed during the candle episode
electric water from the nile
ah fuck a duck someone already took that comment... from the Nile
Go away
Electric Eels from the Amazon River. HOW ABOUT THAT CORN?!
stocchinet no
That's my band name, don't steal.
I think Tim knows people make YTP of him, and he enjoys it.
first words: "im not mad"
ok
I feel like this channel is the only thing that's keeping me sane
Tim JUST admitted he uses a glory hole.
I KNEW it!
That among the best RGB effects I've ever seen.
You had three of them sitting in your what!?
Catching them with the color string toy. Never thought of that. Thanks!
7:42 "Oopsie"
When you start the video, expecting the usual content and suddenly Tim gets the long awaited mental breakdowm
for a moment there I wasn't sure if I was watching a YTP
Lars Sundell exactly
