I think what is incredible is the fact that he has a Rubik's cube of which the box for the cube is signed by the man himself and he "thinks" that the box "might" be more impressive than the cube.
He's rather boring and its mostly teens online. But as the internet grows they'll appreciate simplicity and genuine love for whatever they (streamers and vloggers) do more than astonishment for views and controversy like most people love now.
at 2 am, once you start one video you end up with a playlist of videos. Watching 1 and adding 3 more with false hope that you'll watch them all before bed. And repeat.
He writes down information about each toy he buys and stores it with that toy. Then when he does the video he reads up on the info and then they make the video.
This is wonderful! I just recently discovered this channel and in my opinion, it is one of the best channels on UA-cam. It is so interesting, entertaining, educational and original. You can feel his genuine love for every single piece he collected in his videos, and he really enjoys sharing this love with his audience. Tim is like everybodys favourite Grandpa, sharing his stories and magic tricks. I rarely comment on videos, but I just wanted to say how much I love every single video I have seen so far. I think it is the first channel ever I've recommeded to my friends. I also want to say thank you, for doing thess wonderful videos, please keep making them. You are great! By the way, you Britishness is just lovely!
Wow Rubik was actually born in 1944. Its buffling to think that a name as iconic as Rubik,and a THE icon of puzzles is actually of recent....well...existence.
+Iraklis Pazios Well, we have Mr. Rubik, Steve Wozniak, Arthur C. Clark, and Tim berners- lee, just to name a few. Three of those men sculpted the world as we know it today, pretty interesting if you ask me.
broshaman But usually when a person shapes the world,he does it over the course of centuries,these people lived long enough to see their legacy becoming an already established symbol.
Iraklis Pazios It's amazing what technology does, and how fast it propagates and evolves. Just think, If Rubik had just been born 50 years earlier. We probably would've never known the rubiks cube.
I have a bunch of subs and if I had to pick my favorite channel, I would think about it for a bit, because I love all of my subs, but in the end, I would say this channel because Tim is not a UA-camr. He has no qualities of a UA-camr. He doesn't start the video by saying, "Hey everyone what's up! Tim here and I have some toys for you." And then he doesn't end it with begging to hit the like button and to sub. He just comes on here and talks about his favorite toys. I read an interview with him and he says that he was surprised by his UA-cam following. THAT IS WHAT THEY SHOULD ALL BE LIKE! Put up quality content and then be pleasantly surprised that a few people like the videos. He also said that he is glad that another generation gets to view his toys and play with them over UA-cam. That. is. how. you. make. UA-cam. videos. You hear me?!
Tim isn't some super ADHD kid jacked up on Mountain Dew screaming into the camera. I like to juxtapose Tim's videos with Access Hollywood. My sister just got done watching it and it is fresh in my mind, and hopefully not for long. In that show, there's FIST PUMPING MUSIC BM! BM! BM! BM! YEAH YEAH HEY GUESS WHAT KANYE WEST DID TODAY! And then flashy graphics cutting to a shaky camera all ADHD'ed up and then the host speaking loudly about HEY KIM AND KANYE HAVE HONEYMOONS ALL THE TIME YIPPIE! And then you have Tim sitting here calmly showing you some history in a British accent that makes me just ooze into my chair. And I can make ADHD jokes because I have it.
luigishotu I am going to continue to watch young UA-camrs and then complain about them to older folks. I am tired of their music and the world must know.
This channel is so relaxing, like this makes me feel just like when your best friend is showing you all of their toys when you visit their house for the first time
Rubic's cube with signed box. That is a true collector's piece! Thanks again for all your lovely gentle videos. A little bit of sanity in a cynical world and very soothing.
Have had the privilege of meeting Tim on a number of occasions and even having dinner with him. His knowledge is amazing and he can entertain and educate even those least interested in puzzles. We need more people like Tim in the world.
I love Tim’s little laugh at the end, it’s so calming, and especially sense I struggle with Crippling anxiety it’s so nice to sit back and listen to this nice man talk about his fun, and unique toys 🧸
Tim: "This here is a Rubik's cube .... " Me: **yawn** Even I have a Rubik's cube, Tim. That doesn't sound very interesting .... Tim: "It's in the original Hungarian packaging ... " Me: Well OK .... that makes it a bit more interesting, I guess ... Tim: "And it's signed by Rubik himself" Me: :-O :-O :-O
I know I'm deathly late to this video, but that calculator that can read the buttons wherever they are on the board is absolutely fantastic. I audibly uttered "Wow!" when I saw that. What a fantastic little gimmick. That's something I shall certainly keep an eye open for to collect for my toy collection.
perhaps one of the best things about this channel is that it's clear that he doesnt own these things for the sake of having a lot of or rare versions of something. he collects them because he genuinely loves them. he plays with them and solves them and is just genuinely connected to what he collects. it's cool
+MCTurtleGames If his and Morgan Freemans voices were to combine, ever; it'd produce the Perfect Harmony of Calm logic and Intelligent frivolity. An age of playful clarity would be upon us. An age of galaxies and plastic toys.
Am I the only one who watches these videos not just for the cool looking & sounding toys, but for the immense amounts of ASMR coming off of these videos? Also, that cylindrical ball bearing puzzle is a fun one. I have a much smaller-scale version that was contained inside of a green, clear, plastic pin. It was fun to figure out during a long lecture or before a test when I had nothing better to do and couldn't look at my phone or anything like that.
I was right! I was like, "I have no idea what that thing is. My only guess is like, an umbrella holder or dryer thingie. But it's probably too small for that." Turns out that's exactly what it was! This has actually made my day.
I remember having a cylinder maze around the time when the 3rd episode of Star Wars came out, it was in the shape of a lightsaber and came in a cereal box
I have been on a marathon of watching all of the Grand Illusion video's lol....I love Tim's tone with how he explains everything...and like Vic Vinegar II says he is awesome and probably one of my top favorites too..
That was very entertaining to watch. So many different things to see here. I never would have guessed what that first/last things was until you showed it.
That Rubik's cube isn't actually standard (at least not now). The color pairs that are opposite should be green/blue, orange/red, and white/yellow. The clockwise pattern of colors as you look at a particular corner should be red, white, blue (also blue, orange, yellow).
Trevor Smith There is no "Asian" color scheme, although there is a Japanese scheme (the Chinese tend to favor the western color scheme). There is also no "European" color scheme, though there is a Western one, which was adopted by the US as well. That doesn't matter so much, though. The layout of the cube in the video is neither the Japanese nor the Western color scheme. It's not even the same color scheme shown on the box. If you look, you can see that red is opposing green, but on the box red is adjacent to green. It's quite odd.
He feels like my grandpa telling me stories of his childhood. I love just listening to this guy
Avbitten yeah, lol. it's the most humble channel on youtube
Who wouldn't want him as a grandad?
He’s so innocent and nice as well like I want to meet this guy so badly right now

Can't... stop... watching... Help... please...

That Rubik's cube isn't actually standard (at least not now). The color pairs that are opposite should be green/blue, orange/red, and white/yellow. The clockwise pattern of colors as you look at a particular corner should be red, white, blue (also blue, orange, yellow).
Yes I was wondering if anyone would notice that!
That is the European and Asian color scheme.
Trevor Smith There is no "Asian" color scheme, although there is a Japanese scheme (the Chinese tend to favor the western color scheme). There is also no "European" color scheme, though there is a Western one, which was adopted by the US as well. That doesn't matter so much, though. The layout of the cube in the video is neither the Japanese nor the Western color scheme.
It's not even the same color scheme shown on the box. If you look, you can see that red is opposing green, but on the box red is adjacent to green. It's quite odd.
Falcrist So what does a real Rubik Cube look like?
planetX15 I actually described that in the main comment.
