hey guys welcome back thanks for joining me today on the king of random when I
me today on the king of random when I
me today on the king of random when I was a kid I often dreamed of being a spy
was a kid I often dreamed of being a spy
was a kid I often dreamed of being a spy like James Bond or Jason Bourne and an
like James Bond or Jason Bourne and an
like James Bond or Jason Bourne and an old-fashioned staple of the spy is being
old-fashioned staple of the spy is being
old-fashioned staple of the spy is being able to write secret messages from one
able to write secret messages from one
able to write secret messages from one person to another there are a lot of
person to another there are a lot of
person to another there are a lot of different ways you can try and write
different ways you can try and write
different ways you can try and write secret messages and the purpose of
secret messages and the purpose of
secret messages and the purpose of today’s video is to try out three
today’s video is to try out three
today’s video is to try out three different types of invisible ink to see
different types of invisible ink to see
different types of invisible ink to see which one’s work the best the first type
which one’s work the best the first type
which one’s work the best the first type of invisible ink will try is lemon juice
of invisible ink will try is lemon juice
of invisible ink will try is lemon juice which is invisible until you hold it
which is invisible until you hold it
which is invisible until you hold it over a heat source the second is a
over a heat source the second is a
over a heat source the second is a mixture of baking soda and water which
mixture of baking soda and water which
mixture of baking soda and water which is supposed to be revealed when you
is supposed to be revealed when you
is supposed to be revealed when you cover it in grape juice the third
cover it in grape juice the third
cover it in grape juice the third experiment is to try and use bleach as
experiment is to try and use bleach as
experiment is to try and use bleach as an ink and see if it will show up under
an ink and see if it will show up under
an ink and see if it will show up under black light let’s get started for a
black light let’s get started for a
black light let’s get started for a first invisible ink test we’ve got a
first invisible ink test we’ve got a
first invisible ink test we’ve got a couple of lemons you could also buy the
couple of lemons you could also buy the
couple of lemons you could also buy the pre squeezed lemon juice in bottles at
pre squeezed lemon juice in bottles at
pre squeezed lemon juice in bottles at the store that should work just as well
the store that should work just as well
the store that should work just as well let’s cut our lemon in half and squeeze
let’s cut our lemon in half and squeeze
let’s cut our lemon in half and squeeze the juice out onto this plate I think
the juice out onto this plate I think
the juice out onto this plate I think that looks like enough juice to be used
that looks like enough juice to be used
that looks like enough juice to be used for a lot of ink now let’s take a piece
for a lot of ink now let’s take a piece
for a lot of ink now let’s take a piece of a bamboo skewer or a toothpick dip it
of a bamboo skewer or a toothpick dip it
of a bamboo skewer or a toothpick dip it in the juice and try writing on our
in the juice and try writing on our
in the juice and try writing on our paper get the bamboo skewer in the lemon
paper get the bamboo skewer in the lemon
paper get the bamboo skewer in the lemon juice so it has a little bit of a
juice so it has a little bit of a
juice so it has a little bit of a coating on it and then use that as a
coating on it and then use that as a
coating on it and then use that as a stylus to write on a piece of paper
let your lemon juice ink dry completely
let your lemon juice ink dry completely onto the paper the lemon juice invisible
onto the paper the lemon juice invisible
onto the paper the lemon juice invisible ink is supposed to be activated by heat
ink is supposed to be activated by heat
ink is supposed to be activated by heat you can use an incandescent light bulb a
you can use an incandescent light bulb a
you can use an incandescent light bulb a lighter or a stove to try and give some
lighter or a stove to try and give some
lighter or a stove to try and give some heat to your paper and bring out the
heat to your paper and bring out the
heat to your paper and bring out the secret message first I’m going to try
secret message first I’m going to try
secret message first I’m going to try this with the lighter of course you need
this with the lighter of course you need
this with the lighter of course you need to be very careful that you don’t light
to be very careful that you don’t light
to be very careful that you don’t light your piece of paper on fire

[Music]
[Music] Oh
there we go you can clearly see the
there we go you can clearly see the secret message the flame did do a little
secret message the flame did do a little
secret message the flame did do a little bit of scorching on the paper in a
bit of scorching on the paper in a
bit of scorching on the paper in a couple of spots so as I said you have to
couple of spots so as I said you have to
couple of spots so as I said you have to be very careful or you could easily burn
be very careful or you could easily burn
be very careful or you could easily burn your secret message that worked pretty
your secret message that worked pretty
your secret message that worked pretty well I’m going to try a slight variation
well I’m going to try a slight variation
well I’m going to try a slight variation I have here an old-fashioned fountain
I have here an old-fashioned fountain
I have here an old-fashioned fountain pen and I’m going to try using the lemon
pen and I’m going to try using the lemon
pen and I’m going to try using the lemon juice as ink to write with this instead
juice as ink to write with this instead
juice as ink to write with this instead [Music]
[Music]
[Music] write our secret message this time
write our secret message this time
write our secret message this time instead of using the lighter because it
instead of using the lighter because it
instead of using the lighter because it has such a high risk of lighting the
has such a high risk of lighting the
has such a high risk of lighting the paper on fire I’m going to be using a
paper on fire I’m going to be using a
paper on fire I’m going to be using a glass top stove using a glass top stove
glass top stove using a glass top stove
glass top stove using a glass top stove gives us a nice even surface to heat our
gives us a nice even surface to heat our
gives us a nice even surface to heat our paper over
that was supposed to be the letter U and
that was supposed to be the letter U and apparently I didn’t have quite enough
apparently I didn’t have quite enough
apparently I didn’t have quite enough lemon juice on my pen our second method
lemon juice on my pen our second method
lemon juice on my pen our second method involves a mixture of baking soda and
involves a mixture of baking soda and
involves a mixture of baking soda and water as the ink and grape juice to
water as the ink and grape juice to
water as the ink and grape juice to reveal it
[Music]
[Music] I’ve mixed up about one part water and
I’ve mixed up about one part water and
I’ve mixed up about one part water and one part baking soda here not all of the
one part baking soda here not all of the
one part baking soda here not all of the baking soda will dissolve but hopefully
baking soda will dissolve but hopefully
baking soda will dissolve but hopefully it will work just fine for our invisible
it will work just fine for our invisible
it will work just fine for our invisible ink
ink
ink I’ll try using my fancy pen again to see
I’ll try using my fancy pen again to see
I’ll try using my fancy pen again to see if this works let’s use a little bit of
if this works let’s use a little bit of
if this works let’s use a little bit of paper towel to blot off the excess water
paper towel to blot off the excess water
paper towel to blot off the excess water I’ve got two different methods I want to
I’ve got two different methods I want to
I’ve got two different methods I want to try to apply the grape juice first I’m
try to apply the grape juice first I’m
try to apply the grape juice first I’m going to use a little bit on a paper
going to use a little bit on a paper
going to use a little bit on a paper towel and rub it over the lettering next
towel and rub it over the lettering next
towel and rub it over the lettering next I’m going to put some grape juice in
I’m going to put some grape juice in
I’m going to put some grape juice in this small spray bottle and spray it
this small spray bottle and spray it
this small spray bottle and spray it over what I’ve written the lettering is
over what I’ve written the lettering is
over what I’ve written the lettering is a little bit visible but it’s not
a little bit visible but it’s not
a little bit visible but it’s not standing out a ton not that good as a
standing out a ton not that good as a
standing out a ton not that good as a juice let’s see if it’s good at a secret
juice let’s see if it’s good at a secret
juice let’s see if it’s good at a secret message revealer well then actually kind
message revealer well then actually kind
message revealer well then actually kind of work sprayed it on and then maybe
of work sprayed it on and then maybe
of work sprayed it on and then maybe straight on a little bit too much but
straight on a little bit too much but
straight on a little bit too much but amazing I wasn’t too bad it brought out
amazing I wasn’t too bad it brought out
amazing I wasn’t too bad it brought out the color it’s sort of a darker grey
the color it’s sort of a darker grey
the color it’s sort of a darker grey maybe even a hint of blue in it maybe
maybe even a hint of blue in it maybe
maybe even a hint of blue in it maybe that’s just from the juice that works
that’s just from the juice that works
that’s just from the juice that works okay I don’t think it revealed as well
okay I don’t think it revealed as well
okay I don’t think it revealed as well as the lemon juice does but it’s kind of
as the lemon juice does but it’s kind of
as the lemon juice does but it’s kind of fun to be able to use a second chemical
fun to be able to use a second chemical
fun to be able to use a second chemical to make the first one appear as an
to make the first one appear as an
to make the first one appear as an experiment I’m also going to see what
experiment I’m also going to see what
experiment I’m also going to see what happens if we use our baking soda water
happens if we use our baking soda water
happens if we use our baking soda water mixture as ink and then hold it over the
mixture as ink and then hold it over the
mixture as ink and then hold it over the heat the way we did with the lemon juice
heat the way we did with the lemon juice
heat the way we did with the lemon juice [Music]
leave a message try to get here
leave a message try to get here [Music]
[Music]
[Music] oh what a good see your message actually
oh what a good see your message actually
oh what a good see your message actually that turned out really well that shows
that turned out really well that shows
that turned out really well that shows up very nicely I think that’s actually
up very nicely I think that’s actually
up very nicely I think that’s actually even darker than the lemon juice let’s
even darker than the lemon juice let’s
even darker than the lemon juice let’s see what happens if we also put the heat
see what happens if we also put the heat
see what happens if we also put the heat over the one that had grape juice on it
over the one that had grape juice on it
over the one that had grape juice on it [Music]
[Music]
[Music] that’s cool I don’t know how well it
that’s cool I don’t know how well it
that’s cool I don’t know how well it showed on my camera but all of the grape
showed on my camera but all of the grape
showed on my camera but all of the grape juice just turned like a lot more purple
juice just turned like a lot more purple
juice just turned like a lot more purple and it started burning the paper so that
and it started burning the paper so that
and it started burning the paper so that wasn’t this is for our third type of
wasn’t this is for our third type of
wasn’t this is for our third type of invisible ink we’re going to be using
invisible ink we’re going to be using
invisible ink we’re going to be using bleach and an ultraviolet flashlight
bleach and an ultraviolet flashlight
bleach and an ultraviolet flashlight ultraviolet is a frequency of light that
ultraviolet is a frequency of light that
ultraviolet is a frequency of light that we can’t pick up very well with our eyes
we can’t pick up very well with our eyes
we can’t pick up very well with our eyes but there are a lot of substances that
but there are a lot of substances that
but there are a lot of substances that will reflect it back in frequency we can
will reflect it back in frequency we can
will reflect it back in frequency we can see ultraviolet lights are also known as
see ultraviolet lights are also known as
see ultraviolet lights are also known as black lights so it’s carefully pour out
black lights so it’s carefully pour out
black lights so it’s carefully pour out a small amount of our bleach and try
a small amount of our bleach and try
a small amount of our bleach and try riding with it to see what happens first
riding with it to see what happens first
riding with it to see what happens first let’s see if the bleach itself seems to
let’s see if the bleach itself seems to
let’s see if the bleach itself seems to light up in the black light doesn’t seem
light up in the black light doesn’t seem
light up in the black light doesn’t seem to be doing much so I don’t know how
to be doing much so I don’t know how
to be doing much so I don’t know how well this is going to work looks pretty
well this is going to work looks pretty
well this is going to work looks pretty much the same with the black light on it
much the same with the black light on it
much the same with the black light on it well even though it’s not lighting up
well even though it’s not lighting up
well even though it’s not lighting up very much on the plate let’s try it with
very much on the plate let’s try it with
very much on the plate let’s try it with our pen and paper okay now in theory the
our pen and paper okay now in theory the
our pen and paper okay now in theory the bleach is supposed to be reflective and
bleach is supposed to be reflective and
bleach is supposed to be reflective and sort of glow under the blacklight let’s
sort of glow under the blacklight let’s
sort of glow under the blacklight let’s see how this works oh oh it’s the
see how this works oh oh it’s the
see how this works oh oh it’s the opposite of reflective where I’ve drawn
opposite of reflective where I’ve drawn
opposite of reflective where I’ve drawn with the bleach the paper itself
with the bleach the paper itself
with the bleach the paper itself reflects the light pretty well where
reflects the light pretty well where
reflects the light pretty well where I’ve drawn the bleach it completely
I’ve drawn the bleach it completely
I’ve drawn the bleach it completely stops reflecting it’s like it’s black
stops reflecting it’s like it’s black
stops reflecting it’s like it’s black ink in the middle of the glowing white
ink in the middle of the glowing white
ink in the middle of the glowing white paper that’s cool weird I would not have
paper that’s cool weird I would not have
paper that’s cool weird I would not have guessed that was gonna happen I thought
guessed that was gonna happen I thought
guessed that was gonna happen I thought it was gonna glow so that’s interesting
it was gonna glow so that’s interesting
it was gonna glow so that’s interesting the bleach seems to sort of stop the
the bleach seems to sort of stop the
the bleach seems to sort of stop the ultraviolet light from bouncing off of
ultraviolet light from bouncing off of
ultraviolet light from bouncing off of the paper

[Music]
[Music] with this type of miserable ink you can
with this type of miserable ink you can
with this type of miserable ink you can draw whatever you want and one of the
draw whatever you want and one of the
draw whatever you want and one of the benefits of it is that it’s not
benefits of it is that it’s not
benefits of it is that it’s not permanently visible it only shows up
permanently visible it only shows up
permanently visible it only shows up when someone uses the blacklight on it
when someone uses the blacklight on it
when someone uses the blacklight on it the lemon juice and the baking soda are
the lemon juice and the baking soda are
the lemon juice and the baking soda are both wonderful for sending concealed
both wonderful for sending concealed
both wonderful for sending concealed messages but once they’re revealed its
messages but once they’re revealed its
messages but once they’re revealed its permanently on the paper if you use the
permanently on the paper if you use the
permanently on the paper if you use the blacklight in the bleach it’s only there
blacklight in the bleach it’s only there
blacklight in the bleach it’s only there when you’ve got the light on it
something I like about using the bleach
something I like about using the bleach is that if you have a light of your own
is that if you have a light of your own
is that if you have a light of your own you can see what you’re putting on the
you can see what you’re putting on the
you can see what you’re putting on the paper as you write it there you have it
paper as you write it there you have it
paper as you write it there you have it three different methods of using
three different methods of using
three different methods of using invisible ink lemon juice which shows up
invisible ink lemon juice which shows up
invisible ink lemon juice which shows up under heat baking soda and water which
under heat baking soda and water which
under heat baking soda and water which shows up a little bit with grape juice
shows up a little bit with grape juice
shows up a little bit with grape juice or also shows up with heat on it and
or also shows up with heat on it and
or also shows up with heat on it and bleach which I thought was gonna glow
bleach which I thought was gonna glow
bleach which I thought was gonna glow under a blacklight but actually has the
under a blacklight but actually has the
under a blacklight but actually has the opposite effect the paper around it
opposite effect the paper around it
opposite effect the paper around it glows and it stays nice and dark I think
glows and it stays nice and dark I think
glows and it stays nice and dark I think my favorite of these is using the bleach
my favorite of these is using the bleach
my favorite of these is using the bleach because you can actually turn on your
because you can actually turn on your
because you can actually turn on your own blacklight and draw with it while
own blacklight and draw with it while
own blacklight and draw with it while you’re looking at what you see with the
you’re looking at what you see with the
you’re looking at what you see with the lemon juice or the baking soda ink it’s
lemon juice or the baking soda ink it’s
lemon juice or the baking soda ink it’s pretty hard to see what’s going down on
pretty hard to see what’s going down on
pretty hard to see what’s going down on the paper because you can’t heat it up
the paper because you can’t heat it up
the paper because you can’t heat it up and reveal it or it’s no longer a secret
and reveal it or it’s no longer a secret
and reveal it or it’s no longer a secret now you’re all one step closer to
