THIS LOCK PUZZLE IS DIFFERENT 

Appreciate all the feedback on this video. It's not for everyone, I get it. And no, they won't all be like this but I had to do something different, just for me. Thanks for understanding.

To take something as stressful as a puzzle and make it a soothing, near-therapeutic experience is an art. You mastered it with this one. If this becomes a series, it might be my favorite.

I love seeing you express your creativity in the shorts before each puzzle!!!❤️ Incredible job, as usual!

As someone who has always found peace from anxiety watching your content, it feels thoughtfully crafted for those of us who use these videos for that purpose

Really loving the camerawork here! Looks both vintage and cinematic.

Love the way your filmmaking and storytelling continues to evolve. Been watching you solve puzzles since the rope/bottle puzzle years ago, and can’t wait to see what you’re doing in another five years. TV series? Movie?

This had an almost noir kinda vibe that was just hypnotic! With all you've done I've honestly been waiting for you to announce you've been working on a movie! And don't let anyone keep you from being creative! If what you have is good, they will come! (It's good)

The puzzle fan in me loves your classic content because it allows me to hear your thought process and help try to solve the puzzle alongside you in a genuinely fun and engaging way. But there's something so artistic and therapeutic about the format of this video. I think both styles deserve a high place on your channel, as the execution of this video was incredible. A super calming, enjoyable experience watching you go through the steps. I still see that thought process but in a way that's really calming and relaxing. This is the kind of video I'd watch in the morning with a cup of coffee or at night when I'm winding down. I genuinely hope to see more of these in the channel's future. I really appreciate what you do.

I really loved the experience of this video. It felt like I was watching an old time detective solve a puzzle that leads to the culprit.

Listening to the process and being able to conceptualize it at the same time visually and also verbally is awesome. Thank you.

I know you might not see this, but I always have your new puzzle videos playing on my second monitor while I creatively write. It's a Tuesday night tradition that i've had for over a year now. This was a pleasant surprise. It was so different and calming and I was just drawn to this. I couldn't look away. Watching you evolve like this- It's just amazing to watch you grow and also see your thought process as you write it out. I would love if you made more like this.

Amazing videos! please dont stop. Change them however you want/need and I guarantee your followers will continue to watch and come along on the journey.

You have helped save my life more than once over the last few years.All I know is keep doing what you do, keep being you. I appreciate your content, your creativity and putting the effort in that you do. Was feeling especially down today and this video was a step in the right direction for me. Thank you

Truly love watching these videos about solving so many different kinds of puzzles. The intro to them all are amazing and draws you in even more to see how they are solved.

Dude! Chris!!! This was the best puzzle video ever! The music! The lighting! And most of all...the feel I got from it that I will have forever...a true inspiration you are. Thank you☝️😎

Mate, loved the vibe! I was happy enough to see a new puzzle vid up but you've really helped shake off a long ass day at work! Cheers, dude :)

Thanks Chris always look forward to your puzzle solving as you say in the in the vid satisfying as always. I suffer from mental health and anxiety and there's something about your post's that seem to just hit home how you view each puzzle and what it means to solve them it's like almost a metaphor of life.

This for me was just perfect. The layout of the entire video was great and very relaxing to watch from beginning to end. More of this style 👍

Really enjoy this more relaxed type of video from yourself.

Hey brother. Hope all is well. I have days where feeling inspired to do what I do is hard as well. It's good to see that even content creators go through these phases as well. Sending good vibes your way and keep your chin up. Thanks for sharing your past time with us and giving us the entertainment. Live watching your videos man. 👍

Really love your content sir ... but it was tht fun voice and tht incredible enthu u had while solving puzzles which made ur content fun for me I respect those short story at first for puzzles but thts not all we are here for .. we love tht fun enthu voice while solving

This is absolutely lovely. A bit of tranquility every now and then is much needed 💜

ASMR puzzle solving!!!! I love it ❤❤❤

I love this soothing, calm style of video for solving puzzles which can be stressful. I got hooked on watching your channel because of the “future me” puzzle videos and just love your creativity with filming. You and your team do great work.

This was a really relaxing experience. Would love to see more videos like it. Love the regular style too, but this shook things up and was really enjoyable.

Loved the video. ❤ I watch your videos silently since years and I enjoy them all. I love that you throw in something different every now and then. Just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do and letting me into your creative universe

Watched this in a hotel room after evacuating from our home during the last winter storm we had here in Cali. I was just looking for something to watch to relax, but I got so immersed in this one that I could feel the tension melting away. This was exactly what I needed in that moment. Thank you so so much! Loved the wider shots of you working at your desk. Felt like watching a watchmaker or someone who is so focused on something so small that the rest of the wide world just kind of disappears.

Your video quality is spectacular. These are always like mini movies, but even more enhanced.

I absolutely loved and enjoyed the way this video went. It was relaxing and engaging on a whole different level. Chris you are an amazing content creator. Bravo! 👏

This format is very pleasing. Please make more videos like this.

Loved this video style 🔥

Amazing. I have been watching your puzzles for years and this video was something. As usual, I love the puzzles you solve, but the sense of calming over took me and gave me chills while watching. Your creativity you have and the ideas your team brings forth is one of a kind, I would say it channeled the feeling of 1ST.

This format is my favorite so far! I love the quality and chill nature of the solve!

I really enjoyed the problem solving and sketching out your thought process.

Love the way you did this episode. Love the music you had going on behind you. This was definitely refreshing to see. It was a very chill video log.

Realy hope all is well, loved the feel to this video kinda reminded me to never give up and let the flow flow, when puzzling and never get stressed out, thankyou for this

OMG please keep these kind of vids!!! Just so lovely and calm to watch and listen!!!!!

Love this version of a puzzle solve. Peaceful and simple!!! The camera quality is fantastic too!

LOVE IT, the atmosfere is so nice, please do more of this!!

This is awesome Chris. I love the lamp that looks like a candle.

Nice format change. The narration done in post is a good touch. Even the ASMR sounds are a nice difference. Always happy for a Hot Dang! whenever you feel like one

I just love that I can come here to your channel Chris, and just f***ing breath man. Everything you do, you with intention and it shows. Thank you for trusting yourself and us, enough with your work. ❤

Great video! I wanna see the Lockpickinglawyer try this lock now...

Loved it! 🥰 Sooo peaceful and relaxing ❤

Absolutely love the vibe!

i loved this version of filming Chris!!!! It is a sort of ASMR but kept me thrilled to keep watching and solve the mystery with you. thank you and hope to see more of this

The way I can describe this video is a glass of whiskey, 2 ice cubes and a soft Jazz record after a hard day at work. Been watching for many years normal I watch in the morning with a coffee before I head to work but sometimes I struggle to relax and sleep on a night. This was chefs kiss for a video to entertain but yet help fall asleep. I would love to see both types of content. either way thank you for your videos.

So quiet and calm and relaxing.

The ASMR aspect was satisfying without being annoying or feeling forced.

This new approach creates some lovely effects in my mind. I was playing with the thought of listening the unpacking and manipulation from microphones inside your sleeves or similar.

Thanks for being so patient. Ever learning, ever evolving! Inspiring the next generation of magicians, designers, inventors, and innovators! 👍👍

One of my favorite formats of your storytelling yet.

I love the ASMR/voice over combo. It's very peaceful.

I really liked the chill atmosphere, more than the usual style, so good job on this video!

Amazing video as always, but your videos me and my otherhalf watch together before sleep as they are extremely relaxing plus your voice and the music and solving a puzzle helps for a good sleep . This new way is even more relaxing and open for you a content creator as we get to see you as your full self not what yt wants you to be, keep it up chris you deserve everything

Love the new audio setup. Best one of these yet.

I'm pretty new to your channel, but I do like the quiet, contemplative approach shown here, with the soft lighting and warm colours. Not that the previous videos weren't good, but this one was a nice change of pace. Interesting puzzle. Such a simple design, compared to some, but still so intricate and clever.

That was the most soothing, calming, relaxing video while at work on a rainy day. I'll play this video when I need something soothing to help me sleep

I watched my heartrate slow, my body relaxed and I actually felt my breath slow. This was an amazingly calming video and I will be saving it to watch again when having anxiety.

The footage looks great, especially with the panning full body camera the music sounds great and the script & narroration is on point, great video

The freaking openings! The lighting! The design!!!!!! Makes me wanna cry it's so good.

Loved the vibe of this. Really enjoyed watching. 👍

I love the change of pace and noir feel of the video. Very satisfying. You're doing great dude. Keep it up. Much Love

I absolutely enjoyed the different formatting style of this video, Chris. 🎩 Also, to be honest, I genuinely appreciated that you took the risk instead of sticking to what you typically do. (Not that there is anything wrong with your usual videos!) This is one of my favorite ones you have done so far. 💯 The modulation of your voice is always so calm and soothing. You could read me the dictionary or a top ten best-selling book 📖and I would be a happy camper. Either one and I would still absolutely love the fantastic tone and inflection of your voice. 🥰 I sincerely hope you do more videos in this style. It was extremely appealing to me. Keep up the amazing work, my friend. I started watching you because of your magnificent puzzle-solving skills. 🧩 I admire your genuine personality and the man you portray yourself to be. 😎 You are very charismatic and it shows in how you handle yourself. I can only imagine what attending one of your performances must be like. ♠♥♦♣ I bet I would be laughing so much, I'd be crying. 😆🤪😂 We all would. If I ever have the pleasure of meeting you in person, I would love to buy you a beer. 🍻🍺🍻 Take care, my friend. 💜💙💜💙💜

Very much had an ASMR vibe to it that I found soothing and enjoyable. More please!

I must say i loved this! Really feels like i'm in your thought process and it kind of brought the magic back in solving puzzels! thanks Chris

Chris, brilliant video! The set up is gorgeous! The flow, your presence, everything is * mwah * magnifique! Cheers to you!

I loved how you did this video and I would love to see more videos like this in the future

The Music for this video is so beautiful. I love all your videos but i think i found my new favorite.

This is one of your best videos since that shoe puzzle. Thank you!

Such an amazing and chill format, I actually enjoyed this even as it was playing in the background.

This had a super chill vibe. It worked perfectly.

Composition, colors, your voice... a poetic essay. Beautiful!!

Was looking for a video to fall asleep to, this was the perfect format for that! I love your videos; I wasn’t expecting something so soothing at all! Love this!

I thoroughly enjoyed this video and while I know it probably took more time to make than the other videos you do, I'd love to see a lot more of this.

Absolutely in love with this style of video, was low key ASMR-y and fell in love!

Bro I think the most important thing here is you solving puzzles etc. the cinematic is just a bonus.

I really appreciate this format, I'm proud of you for trying something different.

This video brings such a serene vibe, gotta be one my favorites you’ve put out there Chris! Keep pursuing your passions 🫶

Absolutely love this format- Nice & relaxing

definitely a good touch! you should be able to express your creativity any which way you want while enjoying what you do and i am glad you can do something like this!

Love the format. Hopefully you decide to do more like this. I'd even subscribe to a weekly series of these.

Really enjoyed this type of storytelling. made me in a way very calm.

I’m such a big fan, I’ve watched for so long and I continue to be amazed by your growth and quality of content.. this is no different. You are amazing and so creative and I just enjoy watching how you continue to express yourself and show us just how artistic and truly brilliant you are. Thanks for continuing to entertain in so many ways.. from puzzles to magic to Bob talk. I’m such a fan. ❤❤

I watch your puzzle videos and try to think of ways to translate some of these puzzles into a format that could be used for puzzles in a tabletop game without having to have the actual puzzle. And it's always fun to exercise the brain this way.

Beautiful, absolutely love the format ❤

I really enjoyed this video. I got a whole feeling/vibe of you being a master solver working on your latest project. Was totally immersed in this.

I really like this format. Specially the transition from the intro to the solving. It was so subtle. Great video. I was so inmerse into the video and the ad in the middle of the video scared me as hell hahahah. I didn't quite get the mechanism of the lock though.

I love the new presentation format!!!! relaxing!!!

Wow. GREAT WORK Chris! This totally supports how many of us like to consume your puzzle videos.

Just as beautiful, thought out, and provoking as always. Thank you for creating. 💙

Good point about the different. I did like the detective style. This seems new. Maybe I missed an episode. But the thing that keeps me watching isn't the solve anymore. I do like your story telling. The puzzle was easy. You turned it into a ....cool AF story. The music, the camera play, your acting all came together. I'd bet I'm not even noticing all the people that helped. Great work.

I needed this calming video. It was nice to just sit back and relax. Well done Chris.

Amazing camera shots and beautiful execution of minimal sound!👌🏼

Loved this different take. It was therapeutic and it felt more of your thought process. Keep it up!

Absotively love being aware of the background audio without it ever obscuring the puzzle sounds or your voice. And your tone of voice when you "Got it" :D

I really enjoyed this. Very relaxing and calming to watch.

I'm half and half on this style. On one hand, I get how it can feel more chill. On the other hand, it can feel obviously produced and at times unnecessarily overdramatic, where the usual videos feel more...authentic and genuine, if you understand what I mean. On a personal level, for longer than I care to admit, for this video specifically I didn't realize where the intro ended and the puzzle started until well into the puzzle, which is a detrimental trend overall of people dismissing the importance of distinct and separate signature intros from the content.

The intro, the vibe, the story…super chill and super dope! I kept waiting for something unexpected to happen like when you watch a horror movie. Then I started to think that you would kill it if you made a movie!

I really enjoyed this video..the silence... made feel... peaceful. Could do this many times over! And again ! CHEERS TO THE CREATOR!! Very well done!
