YouTuber caught a cloud in a bag and sold it for a crazy amount of money by transforming it into an art piece

A YouTuber has managed to capture a cloud in a bag and has sold it for a crazy amount of money after transforming it into a piece of art.

Zac Alsop documented the process on his YouTube channel where he used a paraglide to fly up into the clouds before catching one to bring back down with him.

Taking a camera with him, Alsop filmed himself paragliding into the clouds where he held out a giant zip lock bag.

He said: “I feel like today there's just something in the air and that thing in the air, ladies and gentlemen, was a cloud.”

Capturing one, he sealed up the bag and safely returned to the ground.

Armed with a cloud, the YouTuber was now tasked with turning it into a piece of art.

Of course, the cloud in his bag wasn’t fluffy, it had turned into water droplets that Alsop collected for his project.

He continued: “The meeting with the art dealer [was] only two days away, I had to find a way to make this Cloud presentable.”

Buying a fogger that’s normally used for a reptile enclosure, Alsop put it at the bottom of a glass box, hiding it underneath some moss.

Turning it on, the machine began to cause the water to evaporate and turn into fog.

Putting it on display at an art gallery, Alsop waited by the phone before finally getting a call from his art dealer.

On the call, the dealer said: “I have a little bit of news about your artwork, I'm happy to let you know that I have found a buyer for the piece.”

The “eccentric” collector was offering a whopping £3,000 ($3,837) for the cloud artwork.

After shaking on it and delivering his cloud to the buyer, Alsop said: “Can you believe it? Literally three months after I started this mission, I was standing next to a cloud in a box that I'd caught from the sky and sold to a collector. I love it, I love it. How ridiculous is that?

“What a story for the grandkids.”

Fans of the video took to the YouTube comment section to share their reactions, with one user writing: “Crazy how this was such a simple idea but took months to actually make it happen.”

Another wrote: “The piece itself looks nice, but the fact that the water is from an actual cloud is the real impressive part.”

And a third joked: “Zac's on cloud 9.”
