In this video I show you a "fortune telling" fish that wiggles around in your hand. I try to figure out what is causing the movement by trying several different experiments.

Unlike other fish, these fish don't like water and curl away from it. Suicidal fish
@@denyraw evolution does strange things my friend
@@denyraw It's the age old conundrum... does a paper fish want to be wet? said oft in context in lieu of "does a bear shit in the woods?" perhaps it does. then would it not also be suicidal, as a paper thing becoming wet inevitably becomes a messy conglomerate of fibres and pulp. But a dry paper fish, oh the things he can witness. So, really... which want does a paper fish desire... now if we're talking about chux superwipe fish, well, the answer answers itself. for he can withstand a torrential downpour as much as sit aloft the pantry, becoming stale and dry. And he would merely say "Вы не можете меня увлажнить или оставить меня сухим. Я не поддамся вашей варварской несправедливости." and leave you in awe of his stature.
@@parishna4882 why would a bear not want to s**t in the woods?

There was a famous magician in my town called Andre. He had those fish and he would be at nearly all the birthday parties I went to as a kid. We didn't really know the name of that red fish so we would call it "Uncle Andre's fish". It's interesting to see how this works! This brings me some memories of me as a child and of those birthday parties, I think it's nostalgic to me hahaha!

When I was about 10 maybe 11 years old, my aunt got married and at there wedding was a hired magician who actually made my brother levitate from having him lay down on 4 chairs and slowly pulled out each one. After the amazing show that no one could explain...( Yes he moved him around and put his hand all around him. Answering ahead of time.) He gave out these amazing little fish things and I thought I could never see one again. Absolutely amazing what people come up with. Thank you for giving me live proof to my brother who actually don't remember the fish or the day that much after floating lol.

I would have guessed the heat as well. There are some Japanese dishes (food) which are served with very thin dried fish flakes sprinkled on top which will wiggle. I thought that was heat based, but seems likely it is an effect of moisture now. Anyways, this is simple quality content, as usual.
Bonito flakes is heat and steam, food is usually hotter than your body temp and bonito flakes are actual cell fibers as compared to this fish which is well, plastic
bonito flakes yes!!
30 years ago my dad used these when i thought there was a monster in my closet. if it curled up the monster was gone
@@CommenterMr922 I don't think he had bad intentions. The things were designed to curl with body heat and the thing said that if it curled, the monsters are gone. I mean I am an only child and he was a single military father soooo

I got one of those fish years ago and still have it. Cool move to figure it out, I didn't. However, when I was a teen, I figured out the mood ring when I got one and found it worked more in the warm armpit. I put that on a furnace vent and sure enough. These are definately fun stuff. But yah, I didn't quite understand some of the print for the fish, so when letting a friend use that, more was put on the magic of it then what it was proposed to mean. Thanks for finding the solution to it.
I really wanted you to put one in a cup of water lol. Thanx for a mesmerising vid!
