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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
POV: TH-cam recommended you something of his now your two or three videos in very early or late in the evening and you cannot stop watching this delight of a man
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!
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! ;)
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.
The German thing is an Adventskranz. We lit candles on Advent. The 4 Sundays before christmas are 1. Advent (1 candle burning) 2. Advent (2 candles burning) 3. Advent (3 candles) and 4. Advent (4 candles) if you lit the 5. candle you forgot christmas.
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.

Looks to good for me...
Hes a living legend ..
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!

My best Christmas present this year : a 20 min Grand Illusions video !!!!
Tim is just wonderful!
Happy birthday dude
Sorry I'm late
What a wonderfully jolly narrator, l feel much better having watched this!
Tim is the best Santa Lucia girl ever!
For some reason I can't stop watching these videos, there's something so charming about this man talking with lots of little lovely trinkets. :)
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
The only man who can get me to watch a video about candles ^
I think if I were to have ever found out that someone yelled at this man I would have an unyielding rage toward them. What a treasure he is.
MY GOD, JUST HOW MUCH BIG IS HIS COLLECTION?????? SO MANY VIDEOS!!! SO MANY TOYS!!!
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

Merry Christmas though.
Your comments are Flaming brilliant! And the top one blew me away !
I'm so fired up to write a candle pun, but I just can't think of one.

I think this candlelight procession should be relighted!
Performing a Lucia seremony is so much fun, and feels incredibly spiritual. I got so excited when I saw the candle hairdress :)
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?
I really appreciate that he lights the candles. Makes this so much more special than just displaying them.
Tim's my hero
WHY HAS TIM STILL NOT GOTTEN 1 MILLION??!
