    Magic? Nope, science! Which is your favourite? It’s hard to pick one but I love the golden rain, it has something mesmerizing… All the stunts in this video are performed by professionals, don’t try this at home folks! Enjoyed the video? PLEASE smash that Like button, leave me your comments and share it around ツ

    The number 5 with the catalyst looks pretty familiar... when the door is locked and the curtains are closed.
  • @anakulic4143
    Wish we could do these experiments during the chemistry class :'(
  • @NovaRouk
    I was gonna make a joke about sodium but Na
  • @davidking6242
    The Pharaohs snake should 've called Hashiramas wood style jutsu haha
  • @Broockle
    I wanna see the Pharaoh's Snake reaction in zero G. Would it just be an expanding sphere? xD
  • @Giant-cq8xg
    I would tell you guys a chemistry joke but I know I won't get a reaction....
  • @mau7665
    I love the way how you explain the chemical reactions... too easy to understand and quite complete explanation, that's how people enjoy and fall in love with chemistry
  • @Omni_G
    Pharaoh's Snake: Ah something's coming out! KILL IT WITH FIRE!!! But sir, it was born from the fire! We're doomed!! Retreat!!!
  • @ZicoTops
    If you knew how happy your videos make me, they are so unique!
  • 60% of the comments are jokes. 30% of the comments are about "I wish we could do this in science class!" 10% are normal comments.
  • @JeremiahFaison
    That last one looked horrifying and amazing at the same time.
  • @nooobiechild
    this has to be the best video hybrid has made so far. even the music is one of the best
  • "chemistry is awesome, and very dangerous" that's the point! that's the reason it's fun
