Trick Opening Boxes - Part 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Tim has quite a number of trick opening boxes in his collection, and here he demonstrates some of the mechanisms on which they are based.
First up - boxes with sliding sides and panels. These have been around for a very long time, and sometimes they can just involve one or two moves, before you can open the box, but in other cases there can be 20, 30 or even more moves, before the box finally opens.
Then there are boxes which requite you to hold them in a particular place or orientation, and then they can be opened.
The next toy needs to be spun around on the table, and the resulting centrifugal force moves the internal metal pins in such as way that the box can now be opened.
Then there is a box with a weak magnet inside. You need to tap or knock the box in just the right place, and with the right degree of firmness, and this will cause the magnet to lose its grip on the mechanism, and allow the box to open.
Finally we have a box which contains a hidden internal maze, and you need to navigate a ball bearing from one end of the maze to the other, in order to release the drawer.
The one with the nails impressed me the most
agreed!
I think that can be opened with 2 bars of magnets on each sides as well
Creatip That is interesting alternative, but redundant. What inspires me, is simplicity of opening it for those who knows, but relative difficulty for those who don't, and without external tools
Zheka K. exactly. The last one is difficult too, but for everyone, doesn't matter if you know how to solve it or not.
The one with nails is perfect. Now I want this box so bad haha
And then there's this box......all you have to do is smack the shit out of it and eventually it'll open up.
All puzzles can be solved, you just need a little brute force.
TCBOldColt Unless you want to acquire what's inside without damaging it...
Some puzzles will comply with a good S M A C C
Frankly all those boxes suffer from the fact that there just wooden boxes so I can only stop people that don't want to break them
I like to add camouflage too like a metal plaque saying that its your bestest doggo(ashes) then nobody would mess with the box at all you can even ad a bag of heavy Ash in if someone looks and then there's a false bottom with a trick way of opening
This is one of the reasons i subscribed. To learn more about trick puzzles.
The spinning box with the nails is my favorite, its such a smart idea, someone who hasn't already scene this video would have no clue how to open it
That last box should come with every engagement ring ever.
That nail one was brilliant!
Thank you for this fascinating video
just saw one of those boxes in classic Doctor Who "City of Death: Episode 2" when Countess Scarlioni hid the alien bracelet in it.
how splendid!
It's like a safe, that only you know the combination to.
Safest box to place you're money XD
I sorted by new and this was the first comment....we are destined to meet
wax the wood candle works too.
Daamn, thats smart.
Best way to hide your vibrator
Hinale somewhere to keep my water from the nile!
Yeees! Indubidibleh!
I would probably break every single one of them.
Can I hide my neighbor's asthma medication in them?
No, but you can hide some glaucoma medication.
Tim does beat box at 3:00.
My Saturday nights consist of me watching an old man open boxes. Livin' the dream
Meep Moop The American dream 👌🏻
LOL me too
Me too. Its late Saturday night here in 2019 and im 6 vids in and I have to be at work in 5 hours.
Ditto
It's a saturday night and I'm watching GW again...
That centrifugal/centripedal box is ingenious. Who the heck would consider spinning it to be the solution?!
Also the one with the magnet. If you combine those two tricks you'll get a masterpiece :D
DaVinci
Chris Ramsay :p
Believe it or not most puzzlers will spin an object pretty much straight away when starting out!
I want versions of these that are all different sizes so I can put them inside each other.
Then I want something important or secret enough to be worth the trouble of hiding in there.
yea, put something really valuable or interesting in it then put it in a time capsle, with a note attacted to it saying "Fragile" or "explosive" so they wont be tempted to use a hammer. so then waaaay in the future the person will have a hard time openening the ancient trickery, but will eventually get to a prize!
Obie Trice Is that your real name?
Nope, just some i came up with, "obie" then i found out it was the name of the rapper "obie trice" so when i joined YT, i just slapped that last name on, haha Thomas Lyon
You mean like a secret high quality weed stash?
or just put a note saying, "you have no life" in the last one
Now I can safely store all my SD cards full with illegal memes!
I mean, drugs. Safely store all my drugs in there. Yeah.
I found a time traveller
How did you predict illegal memes???
@@TexterEX do I want to ask what illegal memes are?
@@maisies515 Yes, where the Queen resides, it is illegal to have meme(s)
@@maisies515 Research "Article 13"
Finally I can store my crack without any fear
Lol
except youll be too high to actually get it open
No but he'll only be high after he opens the box.
dannass5 I know your comment is a joke, but did you think they can break the box too?
You mean they could crack the crack box?
HELP ME! GET ME OUT OF THESE VIDEOS!
lol, oddly addicting aren't they
Your avatar pic fits your comment so appropriately, it's scary! XD
A Mentally Disturbed Jacksfilms Your picture perfectly fits this comment.
I laughed so hard because your thumbnail picture fit your comment so well. 😂
Why would you ever want to leave?
I remember when I was a child my Grandmother bought me one of these for Christmas, she told me there was £20 inside and all I had to do was open it. I spent hours trying to get into this damn box to get my £20, but in the end I was defeated and she had to show me. I'll never have as much fun trying to open a box again in my life :D
But was there actually $20 inside or was she just saying that
@@Fae_van I think grandmothers are generous enough to give 20 whatever currency , even if it was there or not.
Our parents gave a plastic cube as an Xmas present to us 4 kids. It took a while but I was the one who eventually figured it out.
the one with the nails is the coolest one :D
can't wait for Tim to show us all his fingerboxes
"You just need to give it a little bang in a certain place and it will just open."
Now, only if my love life were that easy.
What does his home look like??
It looks like a trick opening box. You have solve a complicate maze then smashing it to get inside.
Matt Moves
You forgot that first you need to spin it on two different axes after sliding back a certain wall after holding it from two particular diagonals at first.
How I love the craftsmanship in those. Fascinating. Extraordinary.
0:10 Secret Panel Box: A trick box in which you have to slide the panels to open it.
0:39 Little Secret Panel Box: A smaller version of the classic secret panel box.
1:06 Stiff Secret Panel Box: The hardest panel box with stiff wood, opening a tiny cubicle in the design.
1:34 Grip Box: A diagonal gripping trick box in the shape of a crate.
2:04 Centrifugal Door Box: A door-like box in which you have to unlock it by spinning.
2:47 Magnetic Knocking Box: A box with a little magnet inside, to which you unlock it by knocking the sides.
3:48 A-Mazing Drawer: A trick box with a maze to follow in order to unlock.
Can't solve it? Hammer time.
True
Made a centrifugal box myself as well for my girlfriend, with a foto of us on the lid. On the side ive burned the text 'you've got my head spinning' as a hint for her to open it :) It's on mi channel if anyone is interested!
+Tuan Djeems Awesome!
These look just about as frustrating as dial up internet.
+Smmmile:) implying dial up internet is boring?
+bounty hunter implying it is frustrating, did you even read the comment?
CalebMcWilliams I was brain dead, but replace boring with frustrating and I get my message across
I can easily fall asleep after watching one game of these they are very soothing
I don't know how I came here but this is awesome; especially the nails one.
Thanks for the wonderful vid...you're the grandpa I'd never have.
You're not the only one.
Tim, love your videos and have been watching them for years now.
This is one of the first times I can't help but ask you a question.
Do you have any idea if there's a company that still sells "The A Mazing Drawer Box"?
Watched this video many times over the past years and looked high and low for one, but still can't seem to find one...
Thanks in advance!
in case of emergency use hammer. the most helpful advice ever given.
I have one of those grip crate mazes. A cuban guy that my mom was doing physical therapy on made it and gave it to her for me. It was pretty cool. He put a candy inside. LOL
My personal "open the box" puzzle is trying to get my car's rear hatch kick sensor to register my foot and open the lid.
Technically the last one is a Labyrinth, rather than a maze :D
What is the difference between a labyrinth and a maze?
EggwardPolska
A maze has dead ends and occasionally branching/alternate paths, where as a labyrinth is twisty, but as long as you keep going in the same direction, you'll work your way out of it.
***** Interesting! I didnt know that... But doesnt that make the Labyrinth made by daedalus (I am forgetting its formal name) very easy to get out of? As you can see where you are going? Whats the point in that story about the lady who lays down the string so she can find her way back, isnt it easy?
Ryan Kelley Ariadne gave the string to Theseus, she didn't go into the Labyrinth herself.
Obviously, Theseus was a complete idiot. or had no concept of direction in the labyrinth to become lost.
Good for hiding weed
Nick Cullen true
Nick no
Nick Cullen 😂
XD
What an idea
I love this channel!!! Most of these video are relaxing or interesting.
this video is so awsome in somany levels.. please keep doing them!!
change the title to best places to hide your drugs
the box... you opened it... we came...
Now this is what I need to prevent my brother from stealing my stuff.
I once knew a girl who had a trick opening box.
I once knew a girl that would open her box if you performed a trick. ;D
lmao
I unhinge boxes.
Siodenesse L. Jokes have to make sense in order to be funny. Boxes don't even normally HAVE hinges so I doubt anyone understands what you mean.
RationallySkeptical lol why so serious I live with treasure boxes my whole life so
Alot of people dont know this... But you can store you weed in there
I love the way tim says "off"
These are incredible. So funny how he can't open ANY of them properly though haha
Oh my gosh I have the very same one that he showed first! Found it at my grandma's house when I was younger and she didn't remember how to open it. Boy did I have a fun afternoon trying to get it. Finally after fiddling enough it opened up, and it's been muscle memory ever since. It isn't very complicated at all, definitely not 28 steps. Unless mine is broken in some way lol.
Any way I'm looking to get more puzzle boxes because I just love puzzles and they're like secret hiding places.
I remember my granparents house was full of these boxes and I enjoyed finding them and descovering if they contained anything. Alot of them were empty, especially the ones that could just about hold a few pennies.
aww man i need a place to store my weed not these complicated boxes
SPOILER ALERT !
The Grand Illusion videos are always fascinating. But be aware that this one shows how to solve various puzzle boxes. So, if you'd rather figure these out for yourself, you might not want to watch this one. Tempting as it may be . . .
enough for 5 grams ;)
enough for jail ;)
SuperSharot Jail for 5 grams of weed? (thats what i assume he was talking about)
naightz1 depeneds where he is from, but yh in most countries 5 grams would give you a slap on the wrist; if hes from saudi arabia he would also get a slap on the wrist but with a knife;p
***** Lmao
I would open all these boxes with one move. Smash it to pieces with a hard blow from a 14lb sledge hammer.
i had a magic trick when i was a kid that used the diagonal grip to acess a hidden compartment.
To that guy who said "It's centripetal force, not centrifugal. It hurts my engineering ears when I hear "centrifugal" I guess he needs to go back to engineering school. "Centrifugal: moving away from a center : acting in a direction away from a center" www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/centrifugal
I bet Penny can open them
This is really interesting, the ones who made these are geniuses. They make me want to look back to the past and see how smart tools and mystery stuff were created.
Can you read me a bedtime story?
sure :D
once upon a time
The End
end of story goodbye :D
Once upon a time
heh.
Perfect weed stash..!
I'd like to see Tim as a wacky batman villain.
He'd calmly explain his clever traps and all that.
I actually own the second box, but it got rather loose...now if you shake it the drawer will fall out.
The sashimono boxes are rather cool.
I think there were invented for sailors and merchants, generally to deter theft, though they were generally large and heavy enough that you couldn't easily walk off with them.
I feared his frail old fingers was gonna break trying to get that little one open, but fair play was worth a watch!
hammer also works
You're so fancy!
What about a box with a false secret way to open it and a second, even secreter way to get to the real contents?
I Love Your Accent And Vocabulary It's Soothing
whaaatt I'd love to have a box that I need to hit in order to open!!
"and a small ball bearing in there just to confuse you"
funny stuff, loved this
boxes from the nile
Am I the only one, who once met Tim from recommended list?
Great video, I have always been interested in secret storage devices like this and cryptexs.
Thank you.
I actually made one of these back in school. It has a secret compartment that only opens when you slide one of the sides upwards. I gave it to my grandmother.
Old man smacks his wood for 4 minutes
1:35 Phil Wang once haggled for that box
I don't know how I started watching these videos but I love them and I can't stop
the box that needs gravitation to unlock: wow! I would never have figured that one out x)
"This facinating little box appears to have several different methods of activating-"
*Hellraiser theme starts playing*
"....oh...."
Zajebiste pudełeczka :D Nawet ekspert ma problem z ich otwarciem ;D
This is better ASMR than ASMR!
Hmmm, where did I leave my hammer
Does anyone else find mister Tim rather... enchanting?
After I saw this vid, I drilled a small hole in the underside of the lid to my 'dugout' aka 'batter's box' . Now when I close it the bat/cigarette springs up into the lid and locks it. The only way to open it is to bounce it in your hand as you twist the top....works like a charm and keeps ppl out of my stash XD thanx mr. tim!
ruy5 I y by t u 3 t t
Here I was thinking Resident Evil puzzles were completely baseless.
FUCK!!!
This jittery old man was a bad choice.
These boxes are very interesting, but they should have got someone who can actually open the things without shaking so violently.
It was painful to watch.
"This next one is very curious. I believe they call it the Lament Configuration. Can't quite make it work. But nevermind. This next one is quite sweet..."
My vote is for the nail box . . . Then the magnet box . . .
it's 1 am and I'm watching a video on fucking boxes I need sleep
No, we need to deny our bodies required things together...
...Stranger.
Is there a way to buy the spin/nail box?
with nail very cool)
You have to think out of the box to get something out of the box
How to open them?
-hamer
-fist
-stone
-gun
-screw driver
-fire
-gravity
-car
And so on......
The boxes are all quite unique in their own way, but watching this gentleman screw up every sinlge one was awesome. I kept waiting for the super fast video and Benny Hill music or for him to break one with a hammer as in a Monty Python bit then calmly proclaim "or you can open it thus so."
Bet money Tim hides all his weed in these boxes.
fah real, i&i wud aha 😂
That one using the nails to lock it and spinning to unlock, what's it called and how can I make one/ buy one?????? It would be the perfect gift to piss off my girlfriend haha. I'll just put something In it and not tell her how to get it open for a couple years hahaha :p
