I could have sworn it was quirkology but looking through their library it’s not. It is showing various tricks while people change shirt color etc. (I know it is a very nebulous description) to show when you focus on one thing you ignore other obvious changes. No it is NOT the gorilla video. ---

Sounds like Richard Wiseman’s color-changing card trick. Look for that. ---

It was quirkology. I’m an idiot. Or rather the OP was idiotic. ---

Several years ago when my son was nine, I wanted to introduce him to some skeptical concepts, so I told him there was a video I wanted him to watch by a guy named Richard Wiseman. My son said “Oh him - I subscribe to his YouTube channel.” He’s 16 now and doing fine. ---

I’ve seen a similar video in a traveling exhibit of Ripley’s Believe it or Not. There, the part that you were ostensibly supposed to be watching was melting gummy bears. > [@](#): > > No it is NOT the gorilla video. Are you sure? ---
