OMG the collapsing zigzag tracks were sooooo good, I really did not expect that! Amazing machines, as always! I am really excited for what you have built for MM22!
Genuinely impressed that 9 years into this series you're still able to capture the spirit of Dominoes vs Machines in the same way. These always make me feel nostalgic for some reason. Also the dominoes in this video were super technically impressive, there were quite a few concepts in here that I never have seen before. Well done, both of you!
Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness! This is UNBELIEVABLE! Your tricks have become more complex than ever! I deserve the machines as a winner!🏆 congratulations! 👏
You're still getting so much mileage out of track tricks and I'm glad that's never been a limiting factor for you, because these are mind-blowing! Each year is becoming more and more of a visual spectacle, I love the height and decorations in your clips. Awesome job!
The domino tricks were painfully good! And the ending machine was great. The viewer is almost lulled into a trance seeing the balls roll down one by one, only to snap out of it by the tracks falling down and creating a new path. Perfect.
I am speechless. Both of you guys did an amazing job! Seriously AMAZING! All the clips are on 🔥. It’s really hard to choose who won, you put a lot of effort to make your clips!
Absolutely amazing! It was so much fun to watch all the creative tricks you did was great especially the last machine trick because it blew my mind and inspired me to make a machine.
I've already laid out all my thoughts in our voice call but I'll plop some of them down here again since these are genuinely some of the most polished clips you've ever made 0:33 10/10 - perfect timing and path sequencing, also using a curved train track for the timing delay to better encapsulate the shape of the trick is brilliant. I may not have noticed the importance of centrifugal force immediately, but on my first watch the main thing on my mind was "how is this possible lol" so I already knew it was important without knowing exactly what "it" was 0:47 10/10 - super fun idea to incorporate the motion of a jump rope, also as I mentioned before, the ball dropper freezing after the ball drops (whether intentional or not) is a key element of polish considering with such a spectacle of a motion, you would not want anything moving in the background to distract the viewer while the main complex movements are happening here 1:19 10/10 - the PERFECT demonstration of the physics trick in so many ways: 1- the starting/ending locations of the components of the physics trick are BOTH used to form a full one ball path, where not just both components are necessary, but both PHASES of both components are necessary so the trick has a proper book end 2- the actual motion and position changes of the physics trick are crystal clear (unlike in mine 🤢) and 3- the little decoration spikes act as a visual indicator that something is about to fall and then be saved, so even if the viewer doesn't know how it's going to happen, they won't be entirely confused as to WHY the motion has to happen 1:31 9/10 - almost flawless with the minimized connection systems, motion smoothness, added decoration, and the overarching concept itself. The issue is you can't really see the key moment where the billiard balls all make the switch, which is the whole point of the trick. I think it's sick now, but I fear most viewers won't experience that same moment of clarity 2:24 10/10 - brilliant combination of ideas, shows insane technical ability being able to pull something like this off. The elements of polish here are much more subtle, but they make a world of difference, in particular the existence of the gap between two unmoving tracks that needs to be filled, as well as the minimalism in regard to the components that have to be removed - the tube gets subtly pulled back, and that motion is not only justified in order for the pendulum sequence to have room to move, but it actually triggers the lever itself that nudges the gear to topple over! 2:31 10/10 - super original concept for a ball-powered car trick, made all the sweeter by the classic demonstration of tiny ball don't do something bige ball do do something, especially considering that "something" is a unique motion that's hard to predict but super easy to understand once you see it (aka why I screamed the first time I saw it) 2:48 10/10 - BRILLIANT demonstration of a track trick idea with parallel tracks in the starting position. The inclusion of the "bounce pads" to lure the viewer into the trap of the fourth ball is so genius because even experienced machine builders will have no clue what's about to happen based on the design itself. Not to mention that all of this is just extra shenanigans because the main feature of the trick is a crazy new type of track domino that I never would have conceptualized, made all the more mind blowing from the subversion of expectations But yeah these tricks are goated. I still can't pick a winner for the episode even though these are some of the best tricks you've made, but that's just because micajo also wields the same power to make my brain melt
Commenting late but I didn't want the chance to slip by to say that this is a perfect episode of Dominoes vs Machines in my opinion - the machines, dominoes, and music are all flawless. This is one of the few videos I've seen where there are more machine clips that blew me away than clips that didn't - the jump rope and looping pendulum are easily two of the best machine tricks I've seen to date, with the planetary gear and collapsing zigzag tricks following close behind. Micajo makes for a perfect domino partner, innovating with new creative techniques with dominoes but also still making them feel like domino clips as opposed to machine clips with dominoes (which I'm down for but in this case it serves better for a video that contrasts dominoes and machines). The music is also spectacular - there is nothing quite like the exhilarating feeling of watching mind-blowing machine tricks with an awesome bass-blasting theme in the background, a feeling I experience once every 1-2 years. I've watched this video probably once a week since it came out, it's truly amazing how a project with so many different parts came together this well. I really didn't think anything could top 8 but this video is definitely the pinnacle of the series to date. Great work!
Those machines are absolutely INSANE. I admire all the different contraptions you set up and they inspire me to do more creative stuff! (Although I don't make Rube Goldberg machines or chain reactions, but I do make trickshots and I try to implement some of my own "contraptions" in them when i can!)
Honestly, I think this one’s a draw! There’s so much awesomeness on the machine side (as always 😉), but the domino side had some EPIC tricks I’ve never seen before that gave them some serious points, too! So no one really won this time in my opinion. They both did equally well!
Everything was amazing!!! This was such a fun video to watch on my first viewing, it was like a magic show ✨ Now that I’m going back an analyzing everything, I think the clip at 1:32 is my favorite 😳 like,, I love how smooooth that spinner is!! Also, it always makes me happy to see a billiard ball chain in a video :) I’m not sure why
That was amazing!! Both of you made such mesmerizing builds! I can’t wait to see what you guys make next! Also, is one of your Patreon subscribers Danica McKellar?!
I'm more of a machine guy and huge fan of jackofallspaces in general, but in this one the dominoes are UNREAL

That anagram couldn’t have been more perfect for this spectacular collaboration.
As someone just stumbling upon this series, my mind has been blown 🤯
i, already impressed by the anagram, could not have prepared for the 4 minutes to come
these are INSANE

Real glad Micajo was a part of this
2:55 alright, that got a laugh out of me. Fantastic trick (in multiple senses of the word!), I love it.

To still see so many new tricks is mindblowing. Amazing collab.
The domino setups in this were very daring and unique.

Now THAT'S a birthday celebration! Both parts were impressive!

Incredible, as always. The Pythagoras Switch reference was a nice touch 👌
That little green block is always hidden (or in this case, not so hidden!) in all my videos 😉
I went from feeling clever for spotting it to feeling like an idiot for not seeing it in earlier videos 😂
machines won BY FAR, jack you are sooo smart
Honestly, I think this one’s a draw! There’s so much awesomeness on the machine side (as always 😉), but the domino side had some EPIC tricks I’ve never seen before that gave them some serious points, too! So no one really won this time in my opinion. They both did equally well!
they were both so cool!! MInd blowing!
Truly insane guys. I would have to say that Micajo won. Wooooooooooooooooooow
This was the best collaboration ever!
Truly insane, and the best DvM episode. Now it's hard to judge. :)
Superb, it should be said.
You’re both winners 😊 that was amazing 🤩 great job 👏🏻
Everything was amazing!!! This was such a fun video to watch on my first viewing, it was like a magic show ✨
Now that I’m going back an analyzing everything, I think the clip at 1:32 is my favorite 😳 like,, I love how smooooth that spinner is!! Also, it always makes me happy to see a billiard ball chain in a video :) I’m not sure why
0:47 was very radical
2:59 best moment of your part
2:37 that green block gave me Nostalgia
That was amazing!! Both of you made such mesmerizing builds! I can’t wait to see what you guys make next! Also, is one of your Patreon subscribers Danica McKellar?!
Yep, she's been very supportive since Domino Masters :)
Jack of all spades
Machines!!
Wow the dominoes were incredible
how consistent was the little jump rope at 0:48? It took me a second to actually realize what was going on there
Not very consistent at all haha, 72 fails was by far the most out of all the clips in the video
In this time dimino won!
A year later and I am still confused how Micajo managed the trick at 3:10 😂
Magic ;)
@@micajodomino lol
3:10 what the hell
So, I'm genuinely curious. Were all the dominoes free standing, or were some strung together, or hinged?
Many of the dominoes were taped down to control how they fell, and string was also used for a few of the tricks :)
Cool
