Make Waves reaches a million with puzzles and optical illusions

An orange puzzle and a fruit-crushing challenge join the channel's expanding collection of hands-on experiments.

Why this story? The channel passed the 1,000,000 subscribers mark.

Levitating noodles, invisible pencils and impossible-looking faces: Make Waves has been putting visual tricks alongside its familiar puzzles and hands-on tests. That mix now has a million subscribers, after the channel added roughly 81,000 over the past seven days.

The milestone arrives with some fresh variations on its favorite question: is this really as difficult, or as simple, as it looks? Its optical-illusion upload promises to explain DIY techniques behind seemingly impossible effects. A newer orange puzzle takes the opposite approach, presenting something familiar-looking as a challenge to solve.

There is a less delicate test, too. The recent Short "Can You Crush Every Fruit With Your Hand?🤔" swaps visual trickery for a straightforward question of grip strength.

Puzzles are not just a passing interest here. "Puzzles That Look Easy, But Are Actually IMPOSSIBLE!" remains Make Waves' most-watched regular video, with Rubik's Cubes also prominent among its established hits. The orange puzzle gives that recurring theme another outing, while illusions and tested 3D prints broaden the channel's experiment table.
