I loved this show as a child. I'm pretty sure it played a role in my becoming a scientist.
Thanks Rob and Dean
A great pleasure - please spread the word - Rob
Auto-corrected. But a big Yes Rob. You were my favourite show. You fostered my curiosity in the world. Thank you both so much.
@@restingpinguino how very unimaginative of you
No problem at all, any time I can help someone become a scientist I will :-)
I still remember the sticky tape over the balloon trick. I went up to my sister and pricked the balloon with a pin as she covered her ears.
I love how straight to the point they are in this show. Nowadays channels drag one simple subject for hours and hours.
Money, more money aaaaaand probably money
If this were a UA-cam production, we'd still be on the Raid Shadow Legends sponsorship by the time this ended.
Cause it's a tv show
@@ganeshshetty2256 Yes, but even TV shows today do what I said.
You obviously are completely ignorant of gems like Tom Scott, Veritasium, or Vsauce. Better cry about the evil modern time first, huh?
Man this shit is still wild again
UA-cam rules
I exploded my mind with this
I never seen this show before (As of now) but I bet I would've enjoyed it as a kid
2:50 but did u see the parrot
I guess my mind was in business mode today, none of these worked on me.
2:15 chokerz
Uhg, even further, the first time he put the grey down, the one on white side looks smaller, after picking them up and putting them back down, the black side looks smaller. All because he didn't center them.
Is this VSauce Michael's grandfather?
GSauce
OldSauce
Golden Gargoyle yea yes it is
Is here
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😂😂😂
That 3 coin shit didnt work on me tho
Yeah that what i was thinking
Me too
True.
Yeah, that one was pretty weak
didn't*
I saw 2 coins, same size squares and same color squares.
gwemula nice bro
Same lmao
I saw the same😅
I saw 3, because I looked at it carefully
HAHAHAH ur brain isn't working properly, that is kind of sad. The whole point of these is that a normal brain can function and will change the option as part of its functioning process, but evidently yours does not.
As someone from Denmark I've never seen this show until recently when they started to pop up in my recommendations. Always excellent examples and explanations, quality TV show!
Many thanks - Rob
Ive only seen this video now and im on holiday in denmark
@@The_Gerry_Man Hope you're enjoying your time in Denmark!
@@zapador :)
Many these Australian tv shows from the 1980s have this quality, so much so many countries are wanting to show them on their networks lol
black and white square illusion doesn't work for me. Same with grey. They appear the same to me. I know it works for me with other colors tho, maybe it is just a problem with poor quality video, or me watching it on small screen.
Yeah I think it's just from seeing the same type of illusion many times before. The coin trick in the beginning also didn't really work for me but that was cause of the poor video quality
same for me. might literally be the older cameras and the multiple technology transitions needed to translate it from the original to a video here somehow removing something vital to keep it from working? older tele. cameras > tape > digital
Goon124 Yeah, there is a lot of ringing, ghosting and fuzziness in sharp edges, that make them soft.
It's because they are being presented on things that are too small and the video quality is bad. This is what this guy is trying to explain with those examples:

Nice link, John!
Some would think the moustache is real, but it`s actually an optical illusion
These guys were my childhood, while everyone else was outside playing, I was inside watching all the vhs copies I had of their show, learning some of the most amazing things, cheers for making me an overly curious person!
Sounds like a pretty sad childhood
Sounds like a pretty fun childhood
@@dannywhite132 not everyone likes playing outside, saying that "preferring watching TV over playing outside is a sad childhood" is discrimination.
wow yOuRe sO qUiRkY aNd nOt lIkE tHe oThEr KiDs
@@commenterjosh2428 it’s not discrimination at all. It is a dick thing to say though.
Why don't they make shows like this anymore?
Stuff that makes you think, instead of telling you what to think.
They don't want people thinking for themselves, that threatens their monopoly on power. "Trust the $cience."
@Ya Muddah what?
They make plenty of shows like this. Stop spreading your cringe conspiracies, boomers.
I think we all know the answer to this by now…
@@barneybetsington7501 While I agree with you calm down a bit
I love this show. Now we have vsauce. I don't know what he is trying to say most of the time neither do I care to be honest
If you need everything explained to you it indicates you’re not very smart. I thought we evolved. Guess we didn’t
Stylin
How on Earth do you think humans learn from other humans? That’s right, by having it explained.
@@xavier7769 Dude, you're honestly stupid!
@@xavier7769 Please explain...
Well said
2:45 took me a min to see the old lady
Kinda interesting how I zoned out at the beginning so I didn't hear him say 3 coins and I was just thinking "why is he swiveling two coins?" Then I rewinded and once I heard him say three coins then I started to see the illusion. Might've been the power of suggestion at play.
WTF, are you me ? I just did the same.
"can you see these three coins?"
"No I see two"
"Now if I slow it down you can see two coins"
"I only saw two anyway"
The only ones that didn't 'trick' my brain were the first and last two. (The two coins and squares)
I genuinely thought they (the white and black squares) looked the same size and thought the grays looked the same shade.
The elderly person one blew my mind thoygh.
I felt the coin one was fairly obvious though. I literal subconsciously said to myself: "What the hekk is this person saying; There's only two coins."
none of them worked for me lol, maybe it was the old cameras
Totally the cameras. Check out the grey color optical illusion here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checker_shadow_illusion
@@kevincaballero8245 That's also a more complicated example with a lot more context to trick you into seeing the illusion, using blurry shadows and a clear checkered pattern. I think the demonstration in the video was just a poor example.
Same heh
The size illusion worked on me, (despite being aware of it from weichi stones). The grey squares looked the same.
Reckless Roges wow you play weichi i thought it was just me who likes Go
Neither of them really worked on me. It was a bit dissapointing
I think it might be because he's wearing a top which is also grey (And a very similar shade too) so you kind of see the comparison with both colours together subconsciously which spoils it a bit, but it definitely works in other situations.
2:34 Holy crap when you said this is her nose and I started see her, I got scared a little
00:49 "And you may notice two Donald Trumps . . ."
The gray square illusion is called simultaneous contrast...
The first neural psychology class, called Sensation And Perception, I took in college taught me this stuff.
Very neat stuff
I have experienced it before, but for some reason, and i dont know if its because of the video quality, or what, but the Grey squares looked absolutely identical to me. No doubt about it, there was not even a shred in my mind that thought one looked darker and one looked lighter.
@@ticandy8549 same
Yup I got reminded of that too
same, the grays both looked the same to me. And I've seen this illusion in real life and they did NOT look the same in real life, but for some reason in this video they DO look the same. interesting, maybe it is because of the old film quality? bizarre.
I'm glad to see Uncle Rico gave up football and found a new hobby.
I had seen all of these illusions before, but I loved the explanations. They should have done the "rubber pencil" trick as well : )
Is it recorded from a TV or something??
I can clearly hear the frequency sound in the background! And yeah those flickering bands...
Nice video though!✌️
Just older footage I believe. Australian TV in 70s and 80s.
I didn't see old woman.. Anybody else??
then you have an underaverage iq
@@Moonlakes no but i have OCD
@@Moonlakes now i see oldwomen
@@latestbuzz5066 great
@@Moonlakes says the person who said "underaverage" lol...
The illusion with the two gray squares didn't work because of the very high contrast between the black and white backgrounds. Blend them together and I guarantee the illusion will stick out much more.
All the tricks didn't work for me other than the young and old woman part (2:23)
I never seen the old women
Paul Howard the check is da nose, and look at the ear, imagine it like it was an eye
Paul Howard i mean cheek
Still I can't see...
Funny cause it was very hard for me to see the young woman
I saw both
This was really cool!
The gray squares on the papers looked exactly the same shade of gray to me, though. Didn't fool my brain that time. XD
Same for me. Does that mean we have better or worse brains than? Or are they just different? lol
@@feathero3 Maybe just different. :)
Yeah same - and the size of the squares looked the same to me as well. Weird.
@@feathero3 probably because of the LCD screen
I Wasn't Fooled By Most Of These, But I Somehow Didn't See The "Old Lady" Until I Angled Myself/Phone A Different Way.
*WARNING*
Dont do this when high
The old lady one used to scare me when I was a kid. It was on the back of an Apple Jacks box. I used to have nightmares of it.
Edit:
Oh god. The wikipedia images are more nightmare fuel.
0:40 I see two Donald Trumps looking at each other.
1:37 I see a sad and exasperated cryptid with a black face. Hunched over like they are taking a drink from a river, yellow eyes, and cloaked in white - with a feather sticking out of their head
I wish I could do an Australian accent. It's so cool. Everytime I try, it sounds more like a British accent...
It's like sometimes American and sometimes british
Aussie accent is probably the hardest to imitate and as such, it always comes across fake to us Aussies.
you gotta sound like a new york mobster trying to do a cockney accent
The thumbnail looks like the Roblox CEO explaining why we’re changing their logo.
I loved this show as a kids and I believe I ended up a medical scientist from watching it.
Все легко отличается, вот только пожилую женщину не видел, хм
I still cant see the old woman....
Giorgos Seferis I couldn’t at first, but the chin of the young girl is the nose, and the black bit that sticks out underneath it is her mouth
Try to focus on the young woman neck chocker.
Giorgos Seferis me too
For the first trick I only saw 2 coins the whole time and the third trick I could only imagine a young woman facing away
The gray squares look about the same, but if i cross my eyes and overlap the squares, one looks darker than the other.... Absolutely wild
Whole time i thinking "do I have some problem 😅"
Cuz nothing worked on me 😅😅
holy shit, ive just realised i work with a guy who reminds me of Rob... there was always something familiar about him! i remember watching this exact segment as a kid.
I wish this was on British TV now. None of these so called reality TV stars or TV hosts employing their pals to boost each others income.
Uncle Rico, if I was the coach, I would of put you in the 4th quarter and we would of been state champs!
have*
He could throw a football over them mountains
Or maybe hit someone with a raw meat hardcore
The stupidity of today generation mostly , can be seen easily in the comments..☹️
it was very hard for me to discover the young woman o.o
On my end it was super hard for me to discover the old woman
Brain is a interesting organ
Fixided lol
Nope, can't see the old woman.
Really fun to watch Rob. You and Deane were splendid.
many thanks - appreciated - Rob
@@CuriosityShow Wow, still replying
@@AlwaysOnForever yes, I'm just waiting to come up with a worthy comment so I get to talk to Rob!
I doubt, I can do the coin trick by our Indian rupee, since it is falling rapidly. 🤔
I wish I had this show growing up. So good
If you see an old woman in that picture then you are an old woman because there's only one face there.
The man just read my mind every single time i guessed something. ❤️
i actully can see the vase for like 30 sec before the black faces intrude
also I saw the faces first lol
It has become a tradition to come to this masterpiece every once in a while
On the second optical illusion, I saw two Donald Trumps about to kiss.
Uncle Rico????????
LiquidPhase1307 Phase LMFAOOOOO😆😆😆😆
I genuinely could not see the old lady’s face! I feel so stupid. This was great viewing,no going around the houses,straight to the point. If only my science lessons at school had been this interesting.
This is now more relevant today than it's ever been.
bcs everything u see now is trash
People with low iq have brains that cant see more faces or illusions as brain brings them into light nd havin low iq means brain interprets less sry u have very low iq
@@praveenawesome2182 says indian who's country full of trash lmaooo
Holy crap 40 years ago and he said choker. Caught me off guard
I dont see the old lady
I see 2 Donald Trumps looking at each other to confirm they have the best words.
Never seen a great video like this. Love the optical illusions!!!
Please come back as a ghost and explain me what the fuck is going on
Am I the only one that found this easy 🤔
Onwards my eyes and my brain don't trust each other.😅
Keep doing this low resolution quality videos. It gives me the 80's vibes watching at small TV in a sunny sunday morning eating some cereal.
I didn’t realise he said he had 3 coins because I had no audio, so I was just wandering what he was doing with the 2 coins 😂
I still dont see an old lady in the photo
I could after he pointed it out. She's looking downward.
I can't see anyone
The ear of the young woman is an eye of the old woman..the wee circle bit in the young woman's ear is like a pupil looking down and the eye of the young woman is like an eyelash of the old woman's other eye and the young woman's chin is the old woman's nose she has like a bridge in her nose between the old woman's eyes..PHEW.!!! Hope that helps ya's see her..Just concentrate on the young woman's ear and eventually u should see her ✌
Cant see it
I saw here but it's not so clear and she has no mouth :/
I miss old tv...and everything before the year NOW lol
You can tell that there were only two coins
The two greys are not the same. One of them is an American gray.
I’ve seen this before and I still can’t see the old woman😂
Same color gray. Does that make me a genius?
its a young woman that her side looks like a witch! 1:46
Anyone else love 🍄
Jesus Christ it’s Donald trump.
Please stop tricking your self 😴
If this show was made by Netflix, each illusion would be aired as separate 6 part specials
Bro why is this on my recommend its 8 years
We don’t have brains, we are the brains
a very interesting villain material here
What a great show. Never had anything like this in Uk
We were on TV AM for a while - Rob
The color brown is the ultimate contrast optical illusion.
Technology Connections made a great video about brown a couple years ago. Blew my mind but he explained it very well, for a whole 21 minutes. ua-cam.com/video/wh4aWZRtTwU/v-deo.html
0:55 i see two Tronald Dumps
"Focus on the vase, not the faces. Can you do that?"
Me, staring waveringly: OK, yes, then what?
"Almost certainly not"
Me: Oh...
Don Hermes Pinzón de joven! 😁👍
It look like it’s a vintage footage..
*the faces keep intruding*
I see a third old women.
1:39 all I saw was a fricking sheep
Yo homeboy look like el capo
Is he Taika Waititi’s brother?
omg God. I saw the two squares the same size and them I saw he two squares the same shade of gray...
Wow... Learn somthing new every day
The vid i saw was gold... Got triggered when reading the coments tho
