Bet: Tell your friend "I bet I can jump higher than your house"... Then jump and tell him you won. "Why?"... "I said I can jump higher than your house... Houses can't jump. So I win"
Imagine this scenario happening in the real world. Ian: Hey, Sam! I got this piece of paper. I bet you $100 that you can't draw a lowercase i with a dot on top. Sam: Oh yeah? Watch! [Sam draws a lowercase i] Ian: But there's no dot on top! [Ian shows explanation] Sam: Oh darn! You're right! Have my $100. You very well deserve it.
So, for the card dropping one, you have to rely on your friends dropping the cards in a way people would not drop cards if asked... And for the seesaw one, you tell your friends to move the seesaw by only touching the water, and the way they win is by only touching the water.
Stuart Livermore as this is a year old comment you probably don't care at all, but I feel like responding anyways, you shouldn't tell them "by only touching the water" you should instead tell them "without touching the cups or the seesaw itself"
There's a loophole with the first one. You could just grab the left side of the band and stretch it all the way to the right side of your pinky and voila you did it. Also the three cards dropping on the napkin is a bet that would hardly work out because most people know the technique to throw it properly. Other than that this is an awesome video i always love learning from quirkology videos.
+Andrew Tedijanto All they need to do, once they realise that the first one is spiked, is to scrape of the toothpaste, because tooth paste is not a biscuit.
my roommate did that one on me he to an entire container of mini oreos and left them in our cabinet for me to eat I going to get him back soon and I want to know the most evil prank to pull on him from Quirkology
You could make the last bet even more evil by challenging them to eat all the biscuits in under 5 seconds, it will make them rush to eat them, and they will more likely lose the bet in that case
Unless you're a child fluoride from toothpaste shouldn't kill, unless you down like 30 tube or something, 5 biscuits with toothpaste inbetween wouldn't do much exept make your stomach react.
ye, some people are just too thick here to realize their oreo cream is a bit gooey. Or just hallow out an ice cream sandwich and fill it with mayonnaise.
MysteryMan65 i have tried wasabi before... I'm 10 it was gross. Also trash really stinks.... I have never smelled trash when I am five centimeters away from it...
Maybe not toothpaste, it says not to eat it and if you eat more than how much you put on your toothbrush, go to the doctor. Hope this helps anyone who might have wanted to try it :P (try blending veggies into a paste, trust me it's gross)
With regard to the rubber band trick, you don't have to bend your fingers, just hold the end or the rubber band nearest the thumb and rotate it over your fingers to the other side.
On the first one, can't you just take the outside part of the untwisted band and take it over the twisted band and onto the other side? I mean, it's pretty simple, I don't think many people would fall for that.

Steve Gould NEVER ever tell an Aussie that the sun, the earth and the planets do NOT orbit Australia. They will simply look at you in disbelief and call you a heretic.
In the one with the cups of water on the ruler and battery, I think it's better to say you're not going to touch the ruler or battery or cups while pointing at each. The "cups" will imply that the water is included. If you say you will only touch the water it seems a bit more obvious.
check at 0:11 the position of the rubber band, the middle side of the rubber band is stuck in the middle while you can move the far left side of the rubber band up above the left finger onto the far right finger, without even bending your fingers.
The trick at 1:10 relies on the fact that the paper wont be cut perfectly. If the paper was absolutely perfectly cut, you'd notice that after moving the shapes around, they wont be perfectly aligned anymore. They're off by the same area as the missing square but since it's not all in one spot, it's hard to notice. Almost impossible to notice when the paper isn't perfectly cut to begin with. tl;dr: The area of the missing square is lost around the edges of the cut pieces, making it to subtle to notice when you're blown away by a seemingly impossible trick.
He explained it poorly. The bet should be that you cannot stuff all of those biscuits into your mouth at once and chew and swallow them in 10 seconds. Although if I were doing that to a friend, I would not use toothpaste. Swallowing that much toothpaste is not good for you. I'd use something that at least is safe to eat.
Lol when I was little I used to eat the Spongebob Toothpaste that you could get from the dentist! ( it was the bluish toothpaste that had a picture of spongebob on it) :P
The most amazing bet you will always win - eternal life through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ who died on a cross as a sacrifice for sin. Don't bet on yourself or your good works for eternal life for salvation only comes through the redeeming work of Jesus Christ crucified for sin. Without Jesus Christ as your Saviour granting forgiveness of sins, you will stand before God on judgment day and be cast into the lake of fire for your sins. Don't gamble your eternal fate, trust the Saviour Jesus Christ and be redeemed.
hellhoundOFJUSTICE[ This is a joke, right? I bet you someone is going to be pissed off at me for saying this.] Your eternal fate isn't a joke sinner. When you die you are either cast into hell or welcomed into Heaven. Those who have repented and put their faith in Jesus Christ crucified for sin are granted forgiveness of their sins and eternal life. Those without Jesus Christ as their Saviour are cast into hell for eternity. Repent and seek the Saviour sinner, you're not ready to die.
JesusforLife2 why are you so closed minded. You can't seriously be saying that anyone who doesn't believe in something that you think to be true will go to hell? I mean a belief like that flies against all the progress that humanity has made in rational thought and logical thinking. You don't believe in unicorns because there's no evidence for it right? Same applies everywhere else.
seriouslyawesomestuff In the video he said "Ask your friends to draw a *lower case* i with a dot on top." Which can be interpreted as meaning "draw a lower case i and then put a dot on top" = two dots.
If you notice the rubber band can simply be moved to the 3rd and 4th fingers by just moving it in an arc to the other fingers. The top rubber band doesn't even do much unless you're trying to take off the rubber band then put it on. The way that he does it is just a fancy way to make his audience think it was some sort of trick to move it to the other fingers. Try it yourself you will notice that you can easily move the rubber band with his "trick."
SET SAVIOUR Matthew 5:1 Jesus sits on high and looks down low. He sees all the multitudes of the world spread out over different countries, places, and statuses. He walked on the earth as the God - Man - Word - Son - Sacrifice and has set Himself as the Way - Truth - Light - Door. He is knocking gently/strongly, let Him in and He will be your best guest, friend, companion, and God.
MY friend are we not to immulate this man call Jesus not worship him as GOD. did he not tell the deciples the work I do ye shall do and greater works than me . can we do greater that GOD ? Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the would.
