a Lego piece to be connected to

01:25

something right but what if we were

Savage and didn't do that so for this

01:29

next trick it's taking Lego pieces and

01:31

not connecting them all the way now this

01:33

is actually really strapped because you

01:35

can use this to do some really cool

01:37

things like I built an archway for a

01:46

Circle wow that was actually so

01:49

01:51

we're going to find ways to put Lego

01:53

pieces on the opposite way this first

01:55

method uses two flower pieces they fit

01:58

perfectly between two bricks you can

02:00

make two plates face the opposite way if

02:02

you shove two coin pieces between them

02:04

for this method I'm connecting two

02:06

plates using the stick on a lever piece

02:08

you can also use Technic pieces like

02:10

these pins or this longer axle that can

02:12

connect two one by one pieces for this

02:14

method I'm using two tiny slopes and for

02:17

this method I'm using two panels and I'm

02:19

squeezing them between the studs on a

02:20

plate and for my favorite method I'm

02:22

using two glass window panels and these

02:24

tricks are actually really helpful like

02:26

I use them to build a round bathtub for

02:28

a mini fig and I also made this modern

02:31

looking table for this next trick you

02:32

can take a plate with a clip and it

02:34

actually fits inside of a round plate so

02:37

if you keep doing this on every corner

02:39

it has an interesting shape so now I can

02:41

use this as a ninja star I also used it

02:43

to build a Lego drone for this next

02:46

illegal trick you can put a tile piece

02:48

inside of another tile I took these

02:50

tiles that look like triangles and I

02:52

built a very fancy abstract piece of art

02:55

that looks like something that could go

02:56

in a museum and sell for millions of

02:58

dollars also it looks it's like a

03:00

fortnite build battle I Ed this trick to

03:02

build a towel and make it look like it's

03:04

hanging off a table I also made the

03:06

small bench and I also put them on the

03:08

bottom of this chair for legs okay

03:10

there's a lot of secret illegal tricks

03:11

you can do with plants for this first

03:13

illegal trick you can take Leaf pieces

03:15

and overlap them with each other and

03:17

this trick is very satisfying so if you

03:19

do it enough times you can make a giant

03:21

pine tree if you take a default Lego

03:23

Bush and shove pieces into it it looks

03:26

like there's fruit growing on it if you

03:27

take a Lego gear you can put a plant in

03:29

side of it and it turns into a pot or if

03:31

you have a Lego horn like this you'll

03:33

notice that the tip is very thin so thin

03:36

you can actually put it in the tiny tube

03:38

underneath a plate now it's been turned

03:40

into a tiny looking plant if you take a

03:42

Lego brick you can actually flip it

03:44

upside down and you can fill in the

03:45

empty spaces with plants if you break

03:47

off the bottom piece of this lever you

03:49

can attach it to a flower and now it

03:51

makes the flower look bigger okay this

03:53

next trick is extremely illegal because

03:55

if you have scissors you can cut the

03:57

tiny Leaf pieces off of this piece you

03:59

can use it as a cool decoration for a

04:01

hat or you can put it on the bottom of a

04:03

plate and it kind of looks like a small

04:04

sailboat for this next illegal trick you

04:07

can put a clip piece inside of a clip so

04:09

if you have a palm tree leaf you can

04:11

actually stand it up and it turns into a

04:13

bush for these next illegal tricks we're

04:15

going to look at things you can do with

04:16

car tires if you have small tires a stud

04:19

actually fits perfectly inside of it so

04:21

if you attach this to the end of a bar

04:23

your mini fig is now a gim bro because

04:25

it looks like a giant weight if you have

04:28

a larger Tire piece it actually fits

04:30

perfectly around a 2x2 round brick so it

04:33

makes a really cool looking pot for a

04:35

plant you can also use this trick to

04:37

build a giant speaker for a

04:39

party if you want to turn a sword into a

04:42

lightsaber all you need to do is take

04:44

some transparent bricks and put them

04:46

over the blade now you have the at home

04:48

version of a lightsaber if you put a

04:49

sword between the leg and torso piece of

04:52

a mini fig it actually looks like the

04:53

sword is going through him you can also

04:55

put a sword through the rib cage of a

04:57

skeleton to make it look like this guy

04:59

died in battle and for this next illegal

05:01

trick this one's actually really

05:02

satisfying but you can put a sword

05:04

inside of a round brick and it makes an

05:06

interesting display item for this next

05:08

illegal trick you can take any

05:10

transparent bricks and you can use them

05:12

as display cases to put tiny Lego items

05:15

that fit inside you can display ancient

05:17

weapons guns a tiny ring or a rare

05:19

Charizard Pokémon card if you have a

05:22

satellite dish you can turn it into a

05:23

different type of dish so simply flip it

05:26

upside down and it becomes a dish for

05:28

food if you flip a white stud upside

05:30

down and place it on top of a coffee mug

05:32

it looks like there's a drink with cream

05:34

in it this next trick is very illegal

05:36

because if you remove the helmet off a

05:38

Lego Stormtrooper and place it upside

05:40

down it turns into a toilet definitely

05:43

wouldn't want to put the helmet back on

05:44

my head this is a Lego coin piece and

05:46

it's super weird because there's

05:48

literally no way to connect it to

05:50

anything but I discovered if you take

05:51

two of them it actually fits in the hand

05:53

of a mini fig if you take the arm off a

05:55

skeleton you can use it to build a lamp

05:59

this is a Lego whip piece and there's a

06:01

small spot on the tip to connect things

06:03

so if you put a fish on it it's now

06:05

turned into a fishing rod for this next

06:07

illegal trick you can take the handle

06:09

off a bucket and you can shove it into a

06:11

1x two brick and now it becomes a

06:13

luxurious looking handbag or you can use

06:15

it for a drawer handle for this next

06:17

secret trick if you take a roller blade

06:19

you'll find that the tiny Wheels can

06:20

actually connect to things so I built

06:22

this tiny looking robot if you have a

06:24

Lego torch piece like this you can flip

06:27

it upside down and use it as a tripod

06:29

for a camera or if you have a tiny bar

06:31

piece you can use it as one of those

06:32

smaller tripods that vloggers always use

06:35

okay fun fact but a Lego brick and a

06:37

plate fit perfectly on the front of a

06:38

mini fig hand so using that trick I

06:40

built a simple Shield using basic parts

06:43

also if you remove the legs off a mini

06:45

fig you can replace one leg with a

06:47

square brick another with a round brick

06:49

and just like that that's the DIY way of

06:51

building a Lego pirate leg okay now when

06:53

you buy a Lego Harry Potter set they

06:56

give you these wands but they come

06:57

together in this interesting looking

06:59

mold but don't remove them yet because

07:01

you can use them for some interesting

07:03

builds like you can use it to build the

07:04

back of a chair if you have an

07:06

instruction booklet you don't need you

07:07

can rip off some of the paper crumple it

07:09

and use it as realistic looking trash Oh

07:12

wait is that sacred oh never mind sorry

07:14

if you look at the bottom of a plate

07:15

you'll notice tiny holes but you can

07:17

still fit pieces inside of them like

07:19

Flames so I built this small fire pit

07:22

this is a LEGO window that looks like

07:23

it's made from wood it almost looks like

07:25

a chopping board or a trait to serve

07:27

food if you have a larger window piece

07:29

like this this one you can turn into one

07:30

of those futuristic computers you see

07:32

from the movies there's a lot of secret

07:34

tricks you can do with mini fig Parts

07:36

like if you detach a mini Fig's legs

07:38

you'll notice they have an interesting

07:40

shape so I use them to build the armrest

07:42

of a couch mini fig hands are another

07:44

very useful piece like I used one to

07:46

build the faucet of a sink if you clip a

07:48

hand to a small plate it looks like a

07:50

walkie-talkie or you can attach hands on

07:53

a pole and it turns into a working hat

07:55

rack that can actually hang hats or you

07:57

can use it to connect two pieces

07:58

together like a diamond on the end of a

08:00

staff and for these last illegal

08:02

building tricks there's a lot of things

08:04

you can do with food like ice cream now

08:06

ice cream can actually stack on top of

08:08

each other so you can use ice cream to

08:10

add smoke to a build like the smoke

08:12

coming out of this train or if you put a

08:14

round brick on top it can move around in

08:16

different directions so I use two ice

08:18

cream pieces to make these palm trees

08:20

lean over like they're being blown in

08:21

the wind if you have a chicken egg you

08:23

can flip it upside down put a small

08:25

plant piece inside and the egg has

08:27

turned into a pot and these last few

08:29

tricks involve a hot dog and I actually

08:31

thought of a lot of them like building

08:32

the stand of a television I also used a

08:35

hot dog to build a lamp those rope

08:37

barriers that you see in a museum and

08:39

for this final trick I discovered that

08:40

the tip of a hot dog can fit on the

08:42

bottom of a plate so I used it to build

08:44

this relaxing bench you'd find in a park

08:47

wow after all those illegal tricks the

08:49

cops have pulled up and we have a five

08:50

star wanted level subscribe or your next

08:53
