Moiré Kit

[@Sylocat]

I found this channel by accident while Googling something else, and I just spent an hour and a half watching this guy play with toys.

[@jbuddycool]

That same thing just happened to me

[@pinaz993]

For me, it was an ad. I still haven't watched the video the ad was on.

[@pixelmaniac8534]

I found this channel through this video on May 19th 2013, three days after my birthday (on which date this was uploaded). Fate brought us together...

[@grandillusions]

It is an LP-1218 Light Panel. I think they are still available, although we bought it a few years ago, and there are probably newer models around.

[@grandillusions]

He has been collecting toys for nearly 30 years, and he has travelled all around the world, visiting toy fairs and also other toy and puzzle enthusiasts.

[@HerobrineisZFF]

i actually respect this man. he is a very bright old chap isnt he :)

[@gusdagher5968]

This guy is mesmerising.... I think it takes is back to a time of a show about showcasing a product with no pretention👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@MrLegodragonball]

Tim is like the grandpa you just can't wait to visit

[@NextGenAge]

I want Moire of this!

[@grandillusions]

Tim feels his life is so busy as it is, there is no spare time for anything more. Also he is in the Grand Illusions office at least once a week, so if there is a link or website he wants to see, he uses one of the computers in the office to view it. And people know they can e-mail Tim via Grand Illusions.

[@grandillusions]

Mostly the toys are from Tim's collection, and are not for sale. This is one of the small number that we do sell.

[@RockyFacedepet]

This guy... It's asmr for me.

[@projectbakery6140]

RockyFacedepet I follow so many asmr channels and i only come to Tim's videos for asmr qualities :) Glad to see someone else enjoying his voice. Interesting content too!

[@RoundaboutToThePoint]

RockyFacedepet ASMR... it's effin heroin or hypnosis m8... case in point me just forgetting my life on Earth as I watched this dude...

[@null1023]

Way cool. They remind me of demo effects, like on the C64 and Amiga.

[@Kill3rCze]

This guy has so much charisma and such a soothing voice.

[@hughcornish2991]

That is incredible. As always. Tim, you are an inspiration.

[@InviDoll]

I'd love to see more of this kit.

[@AntifoulAwl]

This is how to keep a stoned person busy for hours.

Indeed, it is, sir.

[@ErgoCogita]

HBO's old movie intro that ran for several decades used this phenomenon to produce the starburst shot in the beginning. Layers on layers of acetate rotating and counter-rotating. There's even a documentary of the making of the intro...lol

[@gblargg]

2:00 You can see how it works just looking at the video. One sheet has small slits. The other has compressed hearts and spades. The slits get a little bit of each heart and spade, each one slightly moved relative to a given heart or spade. So they look much wider than they are printed. It's essentially Nyquist aliasing, where your sampling frequency is too low.

[@BodywiseMustard]

We all know how it works

[@gblargg]

@@BodywiseMustard I haven't seen the Nyquist explanation before. I guess everyone else already made that connection.

[@WG55]

I've played with moiré screens before, but never any with such amazing effects!

[@Northrhino11]

I could watch this man for hours

[@TheLoudmouthJerk]

so glad I found this channel...thanks for uploading

This is my favorite video of Tim's, such a wonderful toy.

[@Ekolius]

Every episode Tim gets more and more pleasant :D

[@DrathVader]

It's fucking 2:00 AM and I'm watching some British fellow playing with toys on the internet. What is my life :I

[@zapzed8079]

This is important

[@DrathVader]

[@estrelaconfusa]

1:39am and same

[@TheNatcon1]

3:25 "...wonderful as if you're looking at four dimensional space and time" Is Tim capable of viewing the fourth dimension as an outsider? This explains so much.

[@charlesmangum2100]

Tim's videos are intrguing.

[@JamieJamez]

Best episode yet

[@spugintrntl]

The Bright Eyes album "Cassadaga" comes in a CD sleeve with patterns like this with a little decoder window thing so you can read it. The CD itself wasn't that good, but the package was entrancing.

[@nick11927]

cassadaga, oh yeah, that's where you'll find the center of energy

[@spugintrntl]

nick11927 Woah... that was a hell of a flashback. Thanks!

[@Porygonal64]

aka Tim destroys the bitrate

[@GPNYishai]

This is a man who knows who he is.

[@ianhunt3634]

I like how you answer this question personally every time (no sarcasm).

[@AleksandarGrozdanoski]

The stars between 1:54 and 2:20 are only visible in HD

[@Philc854]

Most interesting and entertaining. Your videos are always amusing and intriging. What a wonderful channel :))

[@TDTVTalkingdog]

Love the visual effect.

[@JuicyPlams]

3:02 My eyes just melted

[@Y_A_Z_F]

High quality is a must on this one.

[@KuraSourTakanHour]

Beautiful mathematics of frequency and interference

[@smithintern-tainment7868]

Just ordered one of these and I’m pumped

[@kristinelee4945]

where did you order this from?

[@Georgeifyable]

What an intriguing illusion.

[@RagMama123]

Where can we buy this kit? I looked on the website but didn't see it.

[@AS-ku5fr]

The card one blew my mind

[@Furious321]

Reminds me of LCD panel construction. Rotating the cards to alter the phase of the image.

[@enjoiorange]

does it come with a light box like the one used in the video

[@CrowbarOfJustice]

would be amasing if you could use these to hide secret messages

[@planetx1595]

amazing*

[@Schattengewaechs99]

Technically you can. There's nothing that prevents you from doing it.

[@jupikman]

It would be cool if you included links wiyh shops that sell this stuff in the description.

[@JTPri12345]

What happens when you overlap more than one of them?

[@thepip3599]

THIS IS SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!! I've done a much less cool version of this using two overlapping combs, but this is cooler.

[@rusher1977]

+The Pip i did that all the time as a kid with the combs lol

[@sunpark8111]

May I ask where can I buy that amazing illusion kit? That is incredible!!!

[@206LaKi]

Take out backlight and diffuser films from lcd, supply it with correct voltage, use monitor plastic as housing and cover it with plexiglass. But it is easier said than done. Beware, capacitors can be still charged to very high voltage even if monitor wasnt plugged in for long time. Best for you is to go to computer repair service and they will tell you more how to do it.

[@Melthornal]

Alright, well I think this is a new favorite toy for me. Amazing.

[@1marcelfilms]

what about printing these paterns on some transparent paper/ plastic

[@HackingDutchman]

this looks awesome.

[@X4ngu]

deam you tim... i really need to go to the bed now but whenever 1 video finish im like: OH! this one looks interesting ... and i watch it, that cycle repeats ...

[@WickedDragon86]

Where does Tim find such interestingly cool toys?

[@liamcalpine]

"Wonderful distortions" I could listen to this dude speak all day.

[@HoneyMike]

I love moirés, I like the ones that look like animals running or gears turning

[@aaattteeennn]

Does anyone know the video of the guy who showed a coffee table with the koi fish swimming? Anyone know what I am referring to?

[@mothman.industries]

grand-illusions ... com ... /acatalog/Moire_Kit.html It's shown in all his videos, but they don't put it in the description for some reason.

[@AlienRelics]

I can't find this kit on your website. I get zero matches for "moire", and don't see it in optical illusions or optical toys.

[@paleobiology]

This is quite amazing.

[@Chi_Teng]

we need to get this kit

[@Unboundedominion]

A sneak peak at an idea I had: Moiré kit on anime, possibly as a gift. It was going to be a surprise but I've got some others in mind. A fun project.

[@WooPantsZX]

Can we see more of this please

[@amalgamidol]

Well, what if it's newer and you can buy them online? o:

[@culwin]

I have no idea what's going on

[@vikaskukreja690]

How do I get the files from this video printed?

[@OrangeHarrisonRB3]

The link in the description doesn't work :(

[@banjax66]

Polarising film... same effect as in the display on LCD watches and calculators... Black digits on a white background. But if you turn the polarising film over you get white numbers on a black background.... Try it.

[@Blue4Twist]

Very interesting!

[@phillipstearns]

Who produced this kit? Anyone know? There doesn't seem to be a mention of their name, nor the name of the kit in either the video or the description.

[@LaynieFingers]

There was a link to the kit in the description, but they don't seem to carry it any more. I found something that seems similar here (if the link works): lspwww.epfl.ch//publications/books/moire/kit.html If not, look for Amidor moiré demonstration kit on google.

[@esborniarj]

where can i buy this kit????

[@SchmidtDudley]

These effects, are looking extremly like the effects used in old Home Computer (f.e. C64) Demos. :-)

[@nliebert41]

this is awesome. genius

[@derTommy]

where is this from?

[@Mrcake0103]

It's all in the movable grid on the top. When it is in certain positions, certain parts of the pattern are displayed through the gaps in the movable grid. When the movable part moves, different portions of the pattern are displayed. Though it still does look really cool

[@GrandNecro]

where do you get the money to afford these toys

[@Zyenth]

What kind of sorcery is this?

[@raafmaat]

dude, they sell this in their shop.... on the site at the end of the video

[@insightfool]

And the artist and kit name is?

[@fortunate1eh]

That certainly was a grand illusion.
