Dragons... Tim has quite a few in his collection. Toy dragons that is. - Наука та технологія
'Realistic.' Guys, I think Tim has seen real dragons.
He IS a wizard
Tim is very ancient and very wise.
I'd be surprised if he hadn't seen a dragon.
He’s so wise what if he was indeed a dragon
@@The-Rei-Plush Are dragons considering wise?
I really don’t know bud dragons come in many different shapes forms and some have different mind sets
Not that the dragons aren't cool, but I think Tim could describe an electric toothbrush collection and it'd be nearly as engaging.
"And here we have this one...and if you look closely it's got these wonderful green bristles. Look at that. Just extrordinry. This one here, when you've finished brushing...it plays a little tune. Remarkable."
Tinfoil Haberdashery you forgot the "Heh" and "Wow"
Grant C That aside, that'd definitely be something good ol' Tim would say.
He's actually reviewed brushes in the past if I'm not mistaken.
@@tokutickler he did
The Rambling Shepherd What fantastic Japanese craftsmanship. A toothbrush that dispenses its own toothpaste. What an extraordinary concept. Heh.
"Here be dragons"
**Sad SCP noises**
Rip here be dragons
Ikr
A man of culture
@@berserker8716 haha hazbin pfp
Here were dragons
I love how he calls red crocodile an honorary dragon, and even says “well done” to it XD what a cool guy
This made me laugh hahahaha
Red crocodile: *happy dragon noises*
A dungeon of dragons, very clever
Clever, yes, but I believe a group of dragons is called a Nightmare of dragons.
Caught it as well. Wow.
That would be really cool, but it's actually called a "thunder" of dragons if they're wild, and a "weyr" of dragons if they're all tamed and with riders and stuff
Cutscene Entertainment there is no official name, the english lexicon couldnt care less about the naming of a group of fictional creatures
Ya Boi we’ll a group of Canadians is called an apology and they’re imaginary too!
“Here be dragons”, quotes [REDACTED]
They will be missed...
SCP-Heh
They shall be Remembered.
Saddest story ever man
Noooooooo. I don't want to remember!
MY EMOTIONS! MY EMOTIONS!
Tim: *casualy casts fireball right next to the camera
Also Tim: fairly obvious isn’t it
The silver ball is referencing the world's first seismograph. It was built in China where there were eight dragon heads in the Cardinal and middle directions each with a metal ball in its mouth. When an earthquake happened the ball would fall out allowing the court to pinpoint the direction of the earthquake.
It's actually far older than that, and is a reference to the Dragon's Pearl, from Chinese folk lore. This stemmed from worship of the sun, which was originally portrayed as red, but eventually as white, and this then became a pearl. In Taoism and Buddhism, the pearl is a symbol of enlightenment. It's likely that the seismographs were designed as dragons BECAUSE of this dragon's pearl tradition.
@@homm3bonedragon242 Fantastic!! Thank you for explaining this!!
I remember seeing that in an encyclopedia, it was like some Chinese jar with dragons holding a ball in its mouth with a fishes attached to the pedestal.
Very interesting and niche fact, as someone who has an interest in historical innovations, I don’t think I’ve heard of this.
@@homm3bonedragon242 Interesting, indeed... I'm always impressed of how clever we are... or were, not many clever folks these days.
Your videos always cheer me up, don’t know if Tim sees these comments but I just want him to know I highly respect him and the joy he brings to us.
Of course
he dosent own a computer or telle
Here here
"A dungeon of dragons."
As a veteran D&D player, I hereby declare this the official term for a group of dragons.
'Whose ever seen a red crocodile?"
**has flashbacks to Mr Vile from **_Banjo-Kazooie_** and his rage inducing mini-game*
939.
Oh God I hated Bubblegloop Swamp.
5:27 That is indeed a dragon. It is the _"Dragon Walker"_ from _'He-man'._
It is actually the reason I found this channel, when it was on display on a previous occasion some years back.
I had it as a child! Sadly, it was given away when my mother sold her house, where it resided at the time. I came looking for it a few years back and found Grand Illusions! 😉 So nostalgic to see _(and HEAR!)_ it in action again. Thank you kindly.
Daniel Renard I had that toy too, was about to say it was a he-man toy, then wasn't sure if i just used to put my he-man figure on it. Did you have a battle-cat toy too with red plastic armour??
Sure did. Panthor too. It was really strange the way Panthor was coated in soft purple material for some reason. Mine had a damaged spot on the leg, showing the red plastic underneath.
Daniel Renard I
I used to have it too.

Tim at 2 AM? Sounds like a great way to end the day and relax for bed.
He's from the U.K so his time is different from North America
I’m glad I’m not the only one up at 2 am watching his videos 😅
until the scream part
If it's 2:00 AM, isn't that technically a great way to start the day?
Absolutely relata... Zzz
Tim Rowett showing off his dragons. This is going to be a great day
Heh
Heck Yeh (very british accent)
Bruv why
Let's be Honest Official AND IT WAS!
Dragons...dragons...dragons!!!
I love how time talks about dragons like their real and he’s seen them
Maybe he had
I love that the alligator gets to be an honorary dragon 😭
i love it, bless this man 😭
And they call him Dovahkiin

JPaul C Roh
he man and Godzilla toys, a great episode!
Yeah i didnt notice that bank was the head of Godzilla
True
Yeah
but that Godzilla sound more link King Kong....
Tim is the UA-cam grandpa and the way he talks is soothing
Tim is the Grandpa, Hickok(45) is the Gun Uncle.
Soothing as a fire alarm.
That “Wonderful” at the end sounded EXTRA wholesome
The pyro in me needs that last trinket. I would have hours and hours of fun, and probably end up in jail. On second thought, perhaps I don’t need it after all.
Tim would be an amazing dad, uncle or grandpa to have. He always has cool stuff to show :)
Tim is what I want to be when I grow up
"Here be dragons" tim knows where the dragons went
It's nice to see an older person on UA-cam enjoying it and having the opportunity to tap into something that is usually for the younger generation. I love this guy.
How did I stumble upon this magnificent toy documentary.
Most likely *our* Recommendations. (even if the question was rhetorical...)
Can we just appreciate how calm he is next to an open flame
SCP-1762 HERE WERE DRAGONS🐲
This can technically be classified as asmr he's so calm
The thumbnail is legendary like there's a large flame and Tim is just looking at it calmly
“Here be dragons” Tim you’re about to make me cry
F
0:27 Tim rolls a D20 for charisma and wins every time.
Here Be Dragons
Here Were Dragons ;-;
trust Tim to have the most awkward sounding He man figure. That was good ole Fisto riding the Dragon walker!!
Wasn't it called 'Attack Tracks'?
Haha. "Fisto".
mojonoodle No the Attack Track was red and had a blue track either side. I know because I had that as well as the Dragon walker!!
I truly dunno what's more entertaining, Tim himself or the comment section of his videos.
Both !
ahaha, thats a nice point!
"here be dragons"
Oh. . .
Oh n o. . .
*Anomalous crying ensues*
Wdym?
@@gabeb1331 There's an SCP called "where the dragons went". It's. Really sad actually, and i'd reconmend looking into it.
Title: Here be dragons
Me: *Vietnam flashbacks*
My favourite thing to watch before I go to sleep
It's satisfing
I had one of those Steve Gardener paper dragons on my desk for years (It was the little blue one with the square head). I found that the square headed ones work the best. You can download and print them out for free online.
Run tim the SCP FOUNDATION wants its Here be dragons box back
*FIRE* From The Nile
Here be dragons
Tim you have no idea how much sorrow you have brought on me by saying that simple phrase...
*cries in SCP*
why?
here were dragons ;-;
I knew I wasn’t the only one who thought about it
@@hookahqt4465 there is one scp story about a box that said "here be dragons"
every so in a while folded paper birds (dragons) would come out, go back in and leave a message.
that message apparently was for the one who created the box and the "universe" the dragons are talking about.
but the more times the dragons appear the more we learn they're suffering from war in their world, and we see less and less dragons until fire comes out of the box and it ends.
then on the box it says
HERE WERE DRAGONS
Cat Saito I don’t get how that’s sad, it’s quite silly if you ask me
Welcome to "Old English man plays with toys "
I hope you enjoy your time.
Zad-E No no old man plays with old toys
Nicola Matthews
Oh shit good point.
Zad-E every minute wasted is fine with me
Nicola Matthews no no old man plays with TONS of old toys
Zad-E No innocent boi play with 1990’s toys
"Here *were* dragons" . God that is the saddest SCP ever
A dungeon of dragons....i see what you did there
Isaac Heartless dragons from the dungeon
5:30 - The toy is "Dragon Walker" from He-Man the 1980 series
thought I recognized it! thanks!
but was it advancing on you in the most peculiar sort of way? :)
I remember seeing the advert for that at the time and thinking it looked really cool - and it still does!
Michael Thanks. Now I can't get the theme song out of my head, although... I have the powerrr!
Michael
Me too
*here were dragons
[crys in SCP]
*cries in [REDACTED]*
Never in my day did I expect to see Gojira/Godzilla show up in a GrandIllusions video. by the way that new intro is superb!
I use his videos to sleep
I dont know what it is about that voice but it's relaxing af
I'm amazed to see at 5:30 one of He-Man's character present in my childhood here in Brazil! Cheers Tim!
the last one is absolutely amazing
That intro with Tim singing along is one of the best things ever.
Tom is ALWAYS thinking about the children and that genuinely warms my heart
obsessed with his voice, so relaxing
I quite like the new intro. also, yay dragons! saw the jacob's ladder book in one of your older videos, nice to see it make another appearance
So this is the “Tim the Enchanter” I keep hearing about.
I watch those videos so I can sleep well his voice is super relaxing
I need that last one. For...research.
Aaaah! Thank you Tim for showing us the dragons! You've made me a very happy boi.
Been binge watching this channel and I just realized this makes me feel like a kid again watching on a Saturday morning. Happy to have seen your channel sir Tim
Your videos are innocent, relaxing, simple and soothing. Thank you
Dragons from The Nile.....
nile dragons
Egypt don't have dragons, how about dragon from the Thames
Albert and honorary dragons
FuturePants , whaaaattt, come on, it's just a funny meme ! No big deal ! Most people find it hilarious.
The Nile River's in Japan right?
"It's so realistic." Also the dragon 1:33
That red crocodile is what we call a drake in the world of dragonology.
I love how Tim says "Superb" its so calming.
HOLD ON A SECOND GODZILLA
*HOLY HECK A SECOND ONE?*
Always has been.
i was like waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat when i saw it 2
Nothing like a 2:00 am Tim adventure!
Thanks for keeping youtube awesome! I love your collection and insights.
Just seeing the hear be dragon bit in the title wanted to make me cry
DovahTim ?
Florian le bris Fus-Ro-Heh!
@@ZacHawkins42 haha good one!
YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!
I love this new intro.
The ball in the dragon's mouth is the pearl. The Dragon kings would eat the pearl as a symbol of gaining esoteric wisdom.
Plot twist: Tim is the one who discovered the here be dragons box
i have some dragon toys, although i'm not sure they would be appropriate for youtube
I don't think you should watch his video with the toy guns....
Delet this

Man thats really bad
I bet those are really good for your dexterity
*ATTENTION ALL SCP FOUNDATION PERSONNEL, SCP-1762 CONTAINMENT BREACH*
Dr. Tim is having a great time
That won't be a problem anymore ;-;
@@chara2038 As long as we remember them, as long as there be those whom believe... SCP 1762 will never be gone.
Thank you Tim for giving me the wholesome grandfather experience I've always craved.
I just love this guys voice
Maybe Tim is the dragonborn?
Dovahtim
and he just doesn't know it yet
Dragons from the nile.
Ｎｉｌｅ ｄｒａｇｏｎｓ
It really brings a smile to my face to see the joy Tim has about sharing the magic of clever toys, illusions, and inventions. Fantastic stuff, really clever.
Tim is making us SCP fans cry with that video title
silver ball is called the pearl of wisdom
Only SCP fans understand “here be dragons”
a sad story……😭
;3
Yes thee story was very heart breaking
Did you guys reply to a year old comment?
Don’t remind me...
His enthusiasm is catching. Now I can go back to my rather boring distance studies 👍👍👍
Me, grown ass man, grinning like an idiot, superbly dumbfounded in fascination, watching a professor of toy technology demonstrating with optical illusion follow you around dragon bobble heads. Now I want a collection of optical illusion dragon toy thingies too.
4:48 Godzilla's head, King Ghidorah will be pleased for this well hunted statue of Godzilla's head
Does anyone know what that last toy is?
SlenderMan it's a little rubber bulb sprayer filled with Lycopodium Powder.
krysto2012 do you know if regular flour would work? I've heard it works on bigger flames such as on movie set car explosions etc...
DoNotPushHere cursory research (google is your friend) says no.
Lycopodium is very fine, it ignites easily. With a modified cigarillo tube it's easy and relatively safe to breath fire (compared to taking petroleum in your mouth for example). Coffee creamer works too, but with the tube we (SO & me) had trouble getting it to work reliable. Same for other powders (custard powder) but it does work to an extend. Much more of a mess though and not as easy to get it right every time. Also less safe, as it drops down, some of it momentarily not ignited, some combusting, some just falling down without ever burning.
To save a bit of money we mix Lycopodium with cork powder. Cork works quite well, is very cheap, and ads sparks/glimmer to the flame.
Here is a shot where it almost looks like a dragon ;-) blog.pixelgiraffe.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/feuerwirbel.png
Note the glimmer falling directly down at the left side. With pure Lycopodium, you don't get that. With coffe creamer, it can be quite scary if it first does not combust, but then you get a flame rising up your shirt.
Here's a short GIF of part of the flame "falling down" when using a mix. blog.pixelgiraffe.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/ezgif.com-crop.gif
//edit: It may sound silly, but we always bring along a fire blanket and car fire extinguisher. Just as disclaimer - Nothing ever happened, but you definitely want to be prepared. Lyco is not a toy.
Corn starch also works
Brilliant! The videos are just consistently great. Thank you
I have to say yet again, love the intros and outros.
The mechanical dragon (with the push button) looks to be the original Godzilla's face.
1:17 with subtitles!!! it hasnt had sex rough handling!!!!!
“ I’ve got a dungeon of dragons”
*tim u little*
here will be dragons, and soon they will fly again from their kingdom of cards, and their wings will once again taste the freedom of air.
When they ask you what are you doing for a living 1:33
lmao
Heh.
this man is so comforting for whatever reason
But that's a nice thing
Imagine being his friend or family, going to his place and having him show you all those curious things and describing them to u with that soothing voice
Very adorable
If you're in a bad mood you instantly feel a little better
He has a warm dad or grandpa vibe to him ^-^
I really love these, thank you Tim.
4:33 looks like dragon shenron
I'm a simple man. I see Tim upload, I like.
I admire the way Tim admires his toy collection. I have been watching your videos for a very long time, it be great to meet you TIM.
I like how family friendly his videos are and calming for some reason.. makes me feel peaceful
