In this engaging performance Collins Key breaks down learning the surprising secret that solves your problems quickly by using the art form of magic and explains that the answer to every problem is hiding in plain sight. The only question left to learn in this TED talk is, do you see it? Collins Key, with 6.5M+subscribers, is one of the fastest growing channels on YouTube having gone from 1M to 6M subscribers in less than a year. His unique blend of viral trends and family friendly content makes his channel unlike any other with over 100M views in the last 30 days alone.
At the age of 17, he was the first magician to be voted into the finals in 8 Seasons of America’s Got Talent. On the show, he completely changed the perception people have of magic with his innovative style and mind-blowing performances. Soon after, he embarked on a 30-city tour opening for Demi Lovato in front of 12,000 to 15,000 screaming fans a night, something a magician had never done before. His record-breaking and award-winning scripted series with AT&T, The Disappearing Girl, showcased his brilliant innovation and a new way to partner with brands. And recently Collins and his brother have been featured on the Disney Channel. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Such an honor to be able to give a TEDx talk. Hope you enjoy.

The other part of the magic is that he knows about YouTube and the algorithm. By making a riddle in a video that we have to go back to figure out over and over again, it makes the YouTube algorithm promote this video even more because we're spending more time on it. Then he gets a highlighted comment and sends even more people to his page.

He misdirects on the first solution. He quite clearly says "Using nothing except for these items - a candle, some pushpins and some matches". This rule explicitly excludes the box. He would need to say "a box of pushpins" to allow the box. So when he says you can use to box to find the solution that is "in plain sight", he is violating the very rules he specified. This itself may be a total misdirection to "prove his point", and expects us to fall for it, which most of us do (and yes, I did till thinking about it further) . . . unless he simple forgot to say a "box of pushpins", but in this case he did, so his solution is invalid for the rules given. Note that the original Karl Duncker test did in fact include the box.

This was amazing...it’s incredibly motivating to see a self-made man(or teen) come up and share his idea, and above all, give respect to minute details since a very young age. Big fan!!!

For all of my life, I have been criticized and misjudged based on any of these three common ways of the thinking. I'm very creative. My ideas are often either noticed and positively embraced or ridiculed. However, if people were to suspend these three limits, then they would be able to see the creativity in problem-solving and improve the situation more efficiently and effectively. Suspend quick judgments. Consider creative alternatives to answer the challenges at-hand. 1. Misconceptions. Reassess the details to bring the information to surface in order to improve cognitive thinking. 2. Assumptions Don't assume there are only certain resolutions. 3. Expectations The answer you expect to find can limit your thinking.

I did notice the cards were different in the second set. I'd turn the champange bottle upside down and pour champagne from a different bottle into the recess, using it as a glass. :) Lots of fun.

Everyone should either know some magic, or have a friend who does, very invaluable! 👍❤️

Nice video. I actually solved the other problems after the initial candle one because I opened my mind to other possibilities. Nice!

You're such an inspiration to us, teenagers!♥♥♥ I love you, Collins! ♥♥♥

That's why I started to play with Lego. We couldn't afford them when I was a kid. But now that I have 2 of my own, I make sure to get my sons some for their birthdays. While helping my 5 year old build, I saw that he doesn't see them the way I do. So I started to challenge myself. After just a year, I find myself looking at other things differently now too. It's really neat. And best of all, I get Lego now!

This is great for awareness that our brains are wired such that we default to certain assumptions or more complicated ways of problem solving. The "school bus direction" problem is a pristine example of how adults complicate things whereas children aren't as biased. Again, great talk and information that proves the point. Question is: What tools exist that we can utilize that help us overcome this? Most viewers will leave this video never to research and benefit from the powerful outcomes that we witnessed...knowing that it can be transformative in our lives. We just toss away a potentially radical new way of thinking that may lead us to our own greatness...so to speak.

You were great on America’s got talent and I still have not seen it yet and I’ve watched it over and over and it’s so confusing at the beginning.
