Sign up for the Grand Illusions newsletter, at conta.cc/3dplns1 _________________________________________________________________ Tim demonstrates a wide variety of amazing candles from his toy collection...
It warms the cockles of my cold, dead heart to know that there is an inspired group of artists, designers and engineers out there who work to create little novelties and bibelots like these. Each and every one of Tim's "Grand Illusions" make the world a slightly more magical place.
I wouldn’t say slightly, but 'very' slightly with the added possibility of making someone’s (insert afternoon, morning, day, etc). I don’t know what else to say without sounding rude, so please take this positively.
Word of advice from someone who's used the pink lotus candle Destroy it immediately after the party or else you're going to be hearing that thing slowly transition from happy birthday candle to possessed child in a matter of hours
he has a lighter collection that is as big as his candle collection and yet he used the ones that don't do the job... also he does not seem to have a candle lighter lol
his videos make me smile. he's just doing what he loves and all. and all these little toys and contraptions just bring me joy. although i've never actually had some of these, just the imagination of the experience when growing up with these would bring me joy. especially that intriguing candle which plays music.
I have had a terrible week filled with bad news. But videos like this make me forget about the bad things and about the cool/happy things within life. Really, thank you.
The late parents of a friend of my mother's owned a candle shop and they sold candles that had little metal necklace hangers in them, so when they melted you would get a little prize. They also made a white skull that drips red wax when lit.
It's just turned 5am...I'm so tired but determined to finish this video...He has such a lovely voice I don't want him to stop, I just wanna fall asleep to his voice!
I can only imagine the trade fairs consisting of Tims of all ages constantly showing interesting things to eachother. I would pay for only a seat at a grandstand watching it.
I'm a child waiting amazing objects and tricks from Tim. It's Christmas time. Tim show is more like the Christmas place. Light, colors, charm and curiosity. "Nice idea". "What a strange idea!". "Very simple idea". Delightful.
I have no idea what your channel is about, can hardly understand you, and yet im addicted! :) you are funny, entertaining, and I love your random as all hell toys! Toy remind me of my grandpa (cliche', im sure) but thats a good thing! He to was fascinated with fun simple objects. Keep up the good work Tim! ;)
This is the best thing youtube has suggested to me. I love this man, he's like your grandpa who traveled the world and wants to show you the cool things he's bought and collected over the years
I work at a Goodwill, and I swear we get candles donated in many shapes and sizes. Possibly my favorite one was a candle that was made to look like an angel praying.
A video starring Tim and his exquisite collection of antiques and souvenirs that is almost twenty minutes in length? My goodness, this video really was a Christmas gift!
THANK YOU FOR THAT JUMP SCARE WARNING OTHER WISE I WOULD HAVE SHIT MY SELF THANK YOU. ALSO THE CAPITAL TEXT SCARED ME MORE THAN THE CANDLE PLEASE STOP SCARING ME.
I would like to make a formal public apology to Tim and all those who were offended by my harsh words. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I have no right telling Tim he does't look like a twelve year old girl. I will work to become a more accepting person now that my judgmental nature has been exposed to myself.
The flower one that opens up sure brings back memories. I once had one of those on my birthday. It didn't work really well, but yeah, it was still quite pretty
Recently stumbled across this channel and am having a lot of fun watching it. There is quite a back catalog of videos so I like to watch them during my lunch. Some of them are a little long for lunch break... those I watch during dinner.
I don't know how I started watching this, I just saw the thumbnail and i was like "oooo let's look at some rare candles" Ngl i love the concept of the"who's counting candles" We need more of those
+Rachel Flynn I guess it's his voice, accent and english grammar in combination with the fact that he talks so serious about items that, usually, most of us don't even give a crap. I guess it would be the opposite of dumbing down.
when he was reviewing the apple candle: "Can you make it better?" Me: "Add chemicals to the wax so the flame will burn green and appear to be a leaf over the apple!" Tim: "Make it peeled" * severely disappointed*
Tim, thanks for being so charming & interesting ! ! ! I think I could spend all day with you & never be bored ! ! ! If you ever get to Eugene Oregon, please bother to say hi !

I completely concur... Also, "bibelot", what a charming term!

Sometime, in the distant future, we'll have Nuclear candles.

I was wondering why so many candles were Swedish. Then I remembered it's dark here ALL THE TIME
It's been 5 years, is it still dark?
Name checks out
@@willowisp7308 yup its still dark over here 🕯️🕯️
@ip2p p You can always come back again once the pandemic is over
It's been 7 years. How're you doing there?
"He needs more light, poor thing, he's running out of fuel." THIS MAN MADE ME EMOTIONALLY ATTACHED TO A CANDLE!!!!!!!!
Or when he says the candle is "thinking about" whether to come back on again.
Tim is able to make a Roleplay story about almost anything.
He’s so fkn cute tho lol
My heart screamed
This is the first 20 minute video I've ever watched about candles.....
you should see the one about sand, and pitchers, OH water from the nile
Are you telling me that there was an average potato the first and average potato the second?!
this was 20 minutes?! i didn’t even realise
Jenn Hoff yup, my brothers. They didn’t make the cut for the Potatolord
YES, I FINALLY HAVE SOMETHING TIM HAS! I - HAVE - THE - APPLE !

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE YOU JUST ENDED THE WORLD THIS IS NOT wait what am I doing cool tho mate
I just imagine someone in the street yelling "I HAVE THE APPLE!"

that was 20mins??? the hell am I doing with my life...
..... who you talking to? this is like the 4th time I've seen this... I have NO life.
Noah Culp hi
He should've bought a Bic lighter.
he has a lighter collection that is as big as his candle collection and yet he used the ones that don't do the job... also he does not seem to have a candle lighter lol
Am I the only one who feels guilty for making Tim light his brilliant candle collection?
Nope ; -; IM SORRY TIMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Candy Neko he's no fool he most likely has 5 of all of them
Insomnii yeah but still. Even if he does have five special candles, lighting one leaves him with four and das sad ;-;
No
Anzu-chan kawaii!
his videos make me smile. he's just doing what he loves and all. and all these little toys and contraptions just bring me joy. although i've never actually had some of these, just the imagination of the experience when growing up with these would bring me joy. especially that intriguing candle which plays music.
It`s so cool that you actualy light the candles and not just show them off!
I feel so honoured because obviously now some of them cannot be used again
I have had a terrible week filled with bad news. But videos like this make me forget about the bad things and about the cool/happy things within life.
Really, thank you.
For a man who owns so many candles he has still not really mastered the art of lighting a candle.
Yeah, poor guy
if candle collectors lit their candles they wouldn't have a collection
Thats how he got so many!
Conspiracy: Tim is actually Santa
This is possibly the cutest old man I have ever come across
The late parents of a friend of my mother's owned a candle shop and they sold candles that had little metal necklace hangers in them, so when they melted you would get a little prize. They also made a white skull that drips red wax when lit.
that would be quite a romantic surprise :)
and the necklace thing is nice as well, I suppose

"the artwork of this is just delightful"
No, Tim. This *channel* is delightful!
It's just turned 5am...I'm so tired but determined to finish this video...He has such a lovely voice I don't want him to stop, I just wanna fall asleep to his voice!
A 13 year old girl walks into a room with candles on her head.
Tim: "nice one"
Tim is the best Santa Lucia girl ever!
I can't handle these candles
I can't candle these handles.
We need to build a wall
The candle is what you can't handle
This Candle has the most remarkable little handle
siugbait no God us alive in us
You know you're off to good start when candles are referred to as beasts.
I can only imagine the trade fairs consisting of Tims of all ages constantly showing interesting things to eachother. I would pay for only a seat at a grandstand watching it.
He is the cutest old man I've ever seen and I've watched like 40 of these videos just because he's so adorable plus he has some really cool stuff
Let’s count how many times Tim has said “what a lovely idea” between all his videos
My best Christmas present this year : a 20 min Grand Illusions video !!!!
Tim is just wonderful!
Happy birthday dude
Sorry I'm late
The only man who can get me to watch a video about candles ^
I really like his little hat at the end
Whats the purpose tim making all of theese videos?
Short videos, no ads, just sharing a joy...
Looks to good for me...
Hes a living legend ..
Alright...I'm going to Tim's house. Who's coming with me?
I'm there mate, little does Tim know i live under his floor boards... (directly under the table)
CasualByDefault and I am in the walls
I'm sitting on the other side of the table
I tried once, but it is surrounded by an enormous labyrinth. I failed to solve it but it was an a-maze-ing day.
Am I still on time?
None of these candles can compare to the pure, lovely light you emit, Tim.
Lucia is not a tradition only in Sweden, we celebrate it in Norway to ;)
The package had the Norwegian flag colours

I can't stop watching Tim's videos. Never in my life would I have wanted to watch a 20 minute video about candles. His videos are just so relaxing!

i just watched 20 minutes of a man showing candles and i dont regret any second of it
If you ever feel worthless, remember that someone out there put the lampshade candle into production.
9:35 "Wont light, poor thing. He's running out of fuel" just precious
Tim, I love these big collection videos!
I swear this is the most underrated watch-while-high channels ever
I am addicted to your videos, they are such fun!
This is the best thing youtube has suggested to me.
I love this man, he's like your grandpa who traveled the world and wants to show you the cool things he's bought and collected over the years
I don't know why but Tim is so charming!
being this guy's grandkid and having tours around his toy shop would be the best
What a lovely idea!
I work at a Goodwill, and I swear we get candles donated in many shapes and sizes. Possibly my favorite one was a candle that was made to look like an angel praying.
You know it’s gonna be good when the entire table is filled up
7 years pass by and finally I'm recommended this

Performing a Lucia seremony is so much fun, and feels incredibly spiritual. I got so excited when I saw the candle hairdress :)
"The Swedish very very fond of bulbs"- Tim
the love he has for these toys is just too pure ❤
19 MINUTES VIDEO? YESSSSSSS
This will forever be the best GrandIllusions video.

I love his appreciation for the little village candle.
Tim is very easy to please and he takes so much joy in the smallest of things l..... Never change Tim 👌🎉💙

Sometimes I think Tim is a hoarder but then I remind myself not to judge because I like his videos.
