Zach King hi plz say hi back
early
@@thekingoffmzd6339 hi
Hi zach king
I luv ur vids
Now I understand meaning of the phrase: “Can’t believe my eyes”
Ha ha.
Draw Draw my eyes are telling me lies
Well said 🤣🤣
Lol
"thrust only your eyes and you are death" -ghost wraith
Guy: “Ok, try not to blink or look away.” My eyes at that exact moment: *d e h y d r a t e*
same they would only be that way when I looked at it lol
Both of our eyes any other time: **literally goes like 30 whole seconds without twitching**
Discombobulate
Me with subtitles on...
Yeh couldn’t look even for 5 sec my eyes start to cry
at 7:00 the illusion worked so well I thought the colors and words were really gone, but moved my eyes and instantly they returned!
Why are Zach King’s videos never disappointing and always blows my mind no matter how many times I watch it, its like straight up Magic.
“Yeah see man here I thought you were one of them birds”
Ha ha me too
Same lol
Me too
Omg it was 3 comments in your comment
Same
"DO YOU SEE 3 BIRDS?" Me: No, because you are standing right in front of it in the thumbnail.
The third bird is him
in the thumbnail the third bird actually in the bottom right corner
nekko shiro - Oh, then there’s 4 birds as there is one left of zacks head
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Nailed it!!😂
Its inside of his pants
That was awesome. You can tell how much work went into it and the illusions all worked! I reflexively clapped at the duck one lol like it was a magic trick. Love the vids!
5:42 at this point I started seeing yellow dots everywhere for some seconds
This feels like a paid experience at a museum. I’ve literally never experienced content on KZhead with this level of production. Incredible.
You must not watch a lot of KZhead videos then
check Vsauce, Vsauce2 and Vsauce3
That's because this was mostly copied from a show called Brain games
@@bepisenjoyer Thats like saying the Drawings i make are copied because my pencil was bought

I love how he is adding in magic while making an illusion video
damn, not only the video itself is crazy in the most incredible way, the editing is golden as well, Your videos always put a smile on my face! :)
Zach: “Do you see three birds?” Me: aRE yOu cAlliNg yOurseLf a biRd?

Danny Lin there are 4 total in the thumbnail
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I also thought the same.......!!😂😂😂👍

This is too much. I think you broke my brain Zach

I love how you still the magic you always do
WoW, what an intro! What an... everything! Incredible! I must try to watch it on some big screen.
There's a game that involves colors and it always tricks my eye. Its called "I love hue" its like a color puzzle.
The second game i love hue too is real trippy towards the end of the gamr
@@bay-leekitchener3368 I'm not even half way through and the pieces are soo tiny
Love that game!! I've gotten really far in it. The more you play it the easier it becomes to do trickier puzzles. But if you hand it to someone who's never played before they're totally stumped lol. Makes you feel like a genius.
I have both of it
I love that game! I've played 'I love hue too' too! I always solve the puzzles in least moves possible
I hope no one gets scammed out of their donuts when they purchase from a striped package...
Ebhu whunw
Yes
Haha
LOL
@@jared9493 wth thats really bad
Another great video Zach. I think the dream disappearing thing was the most surprising/interesting.
7:21 Just everything goes away. And I can notice the word "dream" perfectly fine without looking at the star.
I am amazed how things work. There are a lot of unknown secrets in this world. I knew about the colour illusions but am amazed how brain is the smartest thing yet easily tricked.
Me too i wonder if we can stop our brain from being tricked so easily
Nice video #iron15
@@qaharnetic3919 hey it's not tricked it just prevents us from getting creeped out and the subconscious mind is trying to find patterns.

I thought 2 birds picture and another one is BIRDS as the word written on top😌
Awokwkwkw Anda lucu

This is one of my fav quotes. I might have chosen it for my essay but it didnt fit the topic
i have quotes fron nelson mandela written on the back of my notebooks
Nelson mandela ended racism in south africa hes a true legend
@[AUTHORITY OF FINEST REALM] you are spreading negativity i couldnt care less for his religious beliefs. He was a great leader and thats a fact. In all honesty im hearing that about him for the first time and i even though you are saying it i still dont know if its true. In the end you see the forest for the trees.
Qhat the f*ck are you trying to say?
I did see only 2 bird's until the 3rd was revealed. Great video.
In the 80s and 90s I worked for a major photofinishing lab. I not only learned, but taught color theory. There is no color in the world, it is only perceived by your brain ( hence color blindness). Sun light is primarily R, G and B (a little more but they don't count much in color perception). Putting equal acetate R, G, B filters in front of a white light projector you will get white. Due to an objects molecular structure, ie. a red apple, G + B will be absorbed and R will reflect back to color receptors in you eyes so your brain tells you it is red. It's a little more complicated than that, but that is the basics and how we made color photos from the film you took into the store. Loved the video! thanks.
Zach: Do you see three birds? Me who’s color blind: Sure. . .
UniverseBow Are you Coler blind too!
What kind?
Ugandan Knuckles Deuteranopia
I'm sorry but, is color blindness common in USA.. because I've never seen or heard in my country
@@isaacnewton7424 it's common everywhere. because of various genetics. but there are some people who can get colorblindness later in life because of eye diseases. if you want to know more about it just search in google.
I can't stop imagining a color blind person watching this
I don't have to imagine... I am color blind.
@@aliquida7132 aww you are
Ladies and gentleman.....I am colour-blind

“Good heavenly daysome, put that light out!” HAD ME DYING LOOOOOOOOOL 😂
So much of efforts for an 8 minute video👏👏👏
Zach:can you spot 3 birds Me:*seeing zach as a bird*
xD
xD
Same lol
Omg same I thought he was the third bird XD
Lol xD
6:50 Who else got scared or felt a shiver when the picture suddenly came to life? By the way... 7:20 Zach the illusion worked for me, actually all of them did. You are a genius with these tricks. Love your vidz. Hope you see this comment
Meeee
I jumped so bad 😂
the segle thing is so cool!
That was amazing. Great video.
Its hard to trust Zach when we know he himself is made out of illusion
Exactly lord😂 no shit😂😂
YESSSSSSSSSS
We all are.. 😌
Thumbnail: Do you see three birds My mind: Zach are you the third bird
Stolen :/
True
@@mqnchy7981 No dude It just came to my mind
Was literally gonna say the same 😂😂
It do be like dat doe
The fading-away effect was happening with the “Dream” thing but I started to see the colors on the whole wall when I looked away, “In Video Wall”
The donuts illusion is also helped by the fact that the colored stripes are also inside the lid. The color is reflecting off the frosting.
Zach: If you're prone to seizure, do not watch the next part Me who is prone to seizure: Give it to me
Lol Are you ok
Give it to me- (agust d line) YEA GIB IT TO ME-
That isn't even funny that's dangerous

@@toluolomolaiye6433 do you mean Ignorant? If someone does not know something that doesn't mean they are idiot, it means they are ignorant, so we could say you are an ignorant, too, for not knowing the difference between idiot and ignorant, also why would a 6 yo not know what a seizure is? not all kids are ignorant....
Colorblind people, like me: _laughs in greyer blues_
Me too
I agree
I was looking for a colourblind person in the comments to relate to thanks
@@creeeamu3183 me too
I feel sad for y'all......the world might not be beautiful for you guys....but trust me, it's all in your perspective and YOU make it beautiful
My favourite one is from 4:31 to 5:10. I found it amazing that the second image was in greyscale.
It is such a mind trip. I've done it multiple times and can't get over it.
the dream star illusion is cool how it works
Fun fact: my eyes are destroyed now
Fun fact I’m colorblind I cant see any colors
Hahaha fully agree with you!
My dad is colorbli
Realatable
I Will 🤮 Right Now
Can you see 3 birds? No of course not you’re blocking the third one
He is the 3rd bird....
Hahahahahahahah joker laugh
Can you guys really not see the third bird, I can see it perfectly
Green Chinook lmao
Lmao lol
4:35 Wow! that was crazy
For the star one, the background kinda started to fade out and then it faded back in. Pretty cool illusion!
Me: Concentrating on the dot without blinking Zach: DON'T BLINK! Me: *blinks twice*
That's same happened to me when I was watching his video 😂😂
I want to blink tho so what do I do I blink lol that me

i got 3 grey, but not the other ones. Nice job!
Wow! All of these illusions worked for me thx for posting this
Zach: "Do you see 3 birds?" Also Zach: *blocks the bird*
Actually in the thumbnail there is 4 birds one to the left of his head and one in the bottom right along with the two obvious ones
Plot twist: He is the bird
Plot twist: It was the bird that fly to the back of Zach
Zach is the bird
Not original
staring at the star in the center made my screen almost ALL WHITE
Me too but only for a few moments
And for me it was completely gone in less than 10 seconds

Check out my new vid 😊
That was my favourite of them all.
I love optical illusions so much. They remind me that each of us is unable to see "truth". Our senses and mind filters create what we perceive, not what's really there. That's why we have science: to overcome our illusion perceptions and find universel facts :)
The Dream Painting Trick Worked for me Zach
makes u think what in this world are we seeing and what aint we seeing
no
This sentence hurts my brain.
Ya
There is theory that this world is an illusion
Exactly.
5:24 when you watch it and stare at the middle the whole video time of that exact illusion when you look at a wall you will see yellow ducks where ever you look for like 3 seconds it's cool tbh
king Omg! U do!
Hey my freind agario player!
For me it lasted almost a minute

Same lol
Same 🤣🤣🤣
Me too i also saw 2 bird:v
There are four
LMFAO SAMEEE!!
I’ve seen similar to that penguin thing on brain games. Your brain relies on colors and lighting around to determine “this is lighter,” when they’re in fact the same!
the last one is amazing
for the color duck illusion i was actually seeing duck EVERYWHERE
same. they where everywhere i looked for a little while

Lol that was me
As soon as I seen the flashlight coming toward the camera I shut my eyes lol
*rn its about **1:30* eh
Yeah
Tis is so incredible!!!! love that
One way to prove the last background is not an animation is to pause the video immediately after the wrap illusion is changed. You will notice the background is still moving even though you paused the video, which is not.
6:48 that really scared me
Same lol igot a little jit

"Stare at the dot" Me: Okay, seems easy enough! Also me: But what if there's a jumpscare?

In my village they had this great idea to put Amber lights all over the place. At night it was like you were in an old movie. When they changed them 10 years ago it was my first time seeing the village with colors at night. I am still trying to reconstruct my old memories with the new colors.
Fascinating
me too!! I have this picture with my siblings standing under one of the streetlights and I really can't imagine it being a different color. It just seems like that is how nights looked like.
Whats the name of your village?? Kinda dream to visit it :))
Must be cool
It's called a sodium-vapor lamp. They were pretty common as street lamps because they were very energy efficient and the specific wavelength is one that humans are most sensitive to. They actually have about the same efficiency as LED lights, but LED lights last a lot longer, so sodium-vapor lamps are pretty rare nowadays.
I salute your creativity.👍👍
Learn so much from this
For the yellow duck part i continued seeing yellow for 2 minutes everywhere
Man it was freaky seeing yellow spots for a little while after.

"Can u see 3 birds??" Me : yep. Two same birds and one is different and it got arms and legs instead of wings
Lol yea
Follow that bird!
How do you define a bird then
Birds are reptiles
@@DeadlyMouse7 NO. Didn't you learn science
Your tricks are amazing
The duck one actually gave me yellow duck afterimages even once the picture wasn't in the screen anymore, wild.
The last illusion happens because our brain adapts to the swirling image and when everything's back brain takes a while to be back
Oh now i get it
I learnt that by google
You r genius hmm
The last illusion for me didn’t really work cause I’m used to those kinds of illusions ;)
brain lag
The “dream” one worked for me-

Nope...he just faded it..
Same me to

For the last one look around your room or an area that your in EVERYTHING WILL WOBBLEE
Try looking at your hand instead of the screen for the last illusion! same crazy warping effect!
I actually closed my eyes on the last one... And d picture didn't warp anymore.... Wow
