    When you pulled both strings on both sides, you broke the magnet connecting the two before you opened the tube. Each string is on a sort of pulley attached to their respective magnet.

    Magnets. Brass isn't a magnetic metal therefore its not affected. The strings are on a y shaped string, and the magnets are connected.

    They're each connected by a Y-shaped string that has a magnet at the base that connects to a magnet on the opposite string. Pulling down on both bottom pom poms separates the two magnets and hides the additional string inside the tube. You actually have to show the trick in a specific order while repeatedly using trigger words and reinforcing the idea that the pom poms aren't connected. The explanation and even the cadence of the person's voice are part of the trick.

    Tube is brass so non-magnetic. There's probably 2 small magnets that the strings on the left and right are threaded through inside the tube. When the magnets are attached, pulling a string will pull them towards that side if you hold the other 2 ends that could move with your thumb (watch Chris's thumb position when he pulls the strings). At the end before opening the tube, you break the magnets' connection, so they retreat deeper into the tube on both sides and can't be seen, this is why the string becomes longer on both sides.

      My thought exactly, 2 magnets, with an eyelet on each with the left side string going thru one, and an eyelet on the right one for the right two balls.
      When the magnets are stuck together it travels left and right as needed.
      To separate the magnets, pull a ball on the left and the right (like he does) and they retreat into the halves of the brass tube unseen.

  • @batman3698
    @batman3698 Před rokem +8

    I noticed you pulled harder on othe other side before opening it up.
    During the beginning of the puzzle you had at most one length of string extended at one time. But before opening it you pulled out a second length of string which leads me to believe they are somehow attached after all but with an easily detachable connection

    Each two balls on one side are connected to the same wire that's passes through a loop on an airtight piston in the cylinder. The length of the wire is double the stroke of the cylinder. Look how he shakes the cylinder to get the bottom left ball to drop, it's because the wire has to pass through the loop on the piston

  • @tylerhorn3712
    @tylerhorn3712 Před rokem +2

    I owned one in a jr. Magician toolkit. That one had crossups on the strings running through the mid, and you had to do a specific routine to create the illusion. The magnet theory is right. That's why you go so slow on one portion but pull hard and it's gone.

  • @harshrajput9502
    @harshrajput9502 Před 11 měsíci +2

    there is fix volume chamber inside the tube so when you pull one string it affects the inside chamber and pulled the opposite string since volume is fixed as you can hear a pop sound when he opened the tube.

  • @pabsime
    @pabsime Před rokem +1

    Each string is connected to a sliding magnet within the tube. Right before they pull the tube apart they grip the string on both sides and pull them apart real quick, breaking the magnet connection, and then proceed to separate the tube.

  • @triskel3t

  • @Salaundre
    @Salaundre Před rokem +1

    I’m thinking it has to do with air pressure inside because when you pulled from the same side it acted strange going down as if it had to go through something else instead of going straight down. While the others were pulling it directly. Very neat trick using pneumatic pressure. Neat hint using the pop sound when opening the tube.

  • @Lego6980
    @Lego6980 Před rokem +17

    I don't know why , but every time the string is pulled-in, your finger is on the head of the toy which is close to the string which is being pulled in. May be there is a spring that is attached to the head. Totally two springs for each head. A little force on head might trigger the spring and rewind the string. Just my guess.

    • @mallari1224

      Good guess , good way of using our head there. But i think it would tale more time if the mechanism works like how u suggested. Magnets maybe ? Because thats the only way he can manipulate one from the other without attachement right. I just dont get which is which. Is it the strings ? Maybe

  • @danielchavanel6311
    @danielchavanel6311 Před rokem +2

  • @brimstonedice5456
    @brimstonedice5456 Před rokem +1

    I think this is using pulleys, but not magnets. I think the ends of the tube pull out, which he's doing with his thumbs and obscuring, which draws tension on the string. So they're completely independent of each other. My guess is he can do this trick without having the two halves connected.

    The strings are threaded through each respective side in a U shape with a magnet attached to the bottom of each U via an eye hole for the string to slide through.
    When the stick is together, it connects the strings to a degree, but when you pull it apart, it breaks the magnet and hides it within each side.

    @sailingaeternum Před rokem

    On each end of the tube is a hole drilled straight through. Through these holes the string is threaded straight through vertically with the beads attached on each end. No illusionary elements so far.
    The trick comes from two "corks" inside the pipe with an eyelet on the side of each of the two corks facing away from the center. The string is threaded through the eyelets on each respective side inside the pipe.
    Now when you pull the string that is not extended it pulls that strings cork back toward its own side creating a vacuum that pulls the opposite cork along with it.
    This gives both strings the ability to move freely through their own holes while still being able to influence the string on the opposite end of the pipe.
    I'm not sure how clear the explanation is, but that's how this illusion works.

  • @teally-bop

    How about a simple small loop through which both sides strings go through and are connected. All there is to do before opening the cylinder is to break that tiny loop to disconnect both strings, the tiny broken loop just falls down one tube... It is pretty obvious just before opening the canister, the presenter gives the string on the right a very quick yank while holding the left string tight therefore breaking the middle inside loop...
    The loop could be made of simple, breakable material, tiny flimsy string or even possibly a tiny paper band... Can be anything that's easy to break... or untie/unglue... you get the idea...

  • @rklauco
    @rklauco Před rokem

    I would guess the lines are hollow soft tubes and not connected at all, just closed at the ball side. And by pulling one, you create underpressure, so whatever is extended, needs to deliver the pressure difference (missing air) to the piece that is being pulled.

    My guess would be a tube inside with a through hole on either end. Load one side wound and the other straight through. The wound side has the bead snug to the outside barrel. And the other side has the the holes on the inner and outer barrels aligned so the string moves freely. When you pull the sting on the wound side it unwinds that side and simultaneously winds the other side.

    It works like this. Imaginie a small washer in the middle of the tube. The 2 beads on 1 end... string goes in, up tube through washer and back and out. Same on the other end, string goes in, up tube and through the same washer and back out. So now if you pull on a string, it pulls the washer towards the end your pulling from. Then that end can be pulled up and down. Then if you pull a string from the other end it pulls the washer that way pulling the strings tight on the other end.
    Now, all that is different is that its not a washer but a magnet that pulls apart in the middle so it can be taken apart. That's why at the end he pulls both strings to pull the magnet apart.
