Andost - FISM 2012 Closeup Act - 1st place Micro Magic

[@skinman620]

This is perhaps the best card routine I have ever seen. The level of skill on display is mind-blowing. The guy has skill levels off the chart to be able to pull that off and make it look so effortless. Love the genuine gasps of astonishment from a FISM crowd - really what it should all be about.

[@justinparker1298]

An absolutely original, stunning display of visual magic. I love Patrick Lehnen's routine as much as anyone, but the originality of this routine deserved to win

[@arspraestigium1]

Wow! FISM judges picked a genuine winner this time. What an incredibly original and well-executed performance. Thanks for sharing the video!

[@carlossuarez9466]

What a beautiful piece of magic. Pure astonishment.

[@SuperUnunquadium]

This blue my mind.

[@SuperUnunquadium]

It's enough to make you a little green around the gills.

[@BrandonJPearce]

Orange you guys glad you watched this?

[@juanistic]

[@SuperUnunquadium]

Well color me impressed

[@spaceghost1579]

SuperUnunquadium You're to yellow to say that in person

[@Gurala781]

in a FISM act you practice long time to master a thing you like. This was very beautiful to watch so here I bow for you. Thank you for such a great routine.

[@chaddionne4080]

still one of the most elegant and imaginative routines in years

[@chocolatechocochoco]

It is so easy to do !! you just need to put the card near the light and it changes color

[@johancendanateh9907]

Thank you thats very easy to learn

[@madtrader117]

chocolatechocochoco You know that isn't what's happening, right?

[@Melpheos1er]

chocolatechocochoco I knew there was a trick !

[@asdasdasdasd7483]

Mike Campbell uuh, yes it is. Do you even magic, bro?

[@bRadicalmagic1]

Yo Mike, the question is do YOU know what is happening? This is KZbin, where ALL KINDS of neat things exist like in this case would be sarcasm and Humor, get it ? Mike ?

[@JohnnySilverMagician]

anyone who doesnt appreciate this prolly isnt a working magician. The originality, and thought put into this is staggering. A+

[@nickjokay1978]

Halfway thought it was so much better to enjoy it rather than trying to figure it out. It was really good.

[@pabloalvareztostado]

great illusion, and away from the typical presentations, Standing ovation to your creativity, and manipulation.

[@42magi]

Absolutely Stunning. That is thinking outside the proverbial box !! BRAVO !!!

[@vanishy0urself]

I can SEE some of those switches and flips because I know them, but everything is so well put together and the complexity of the routine is just mindblowing. The finale was astounding, I did not expect that. He totally deserves this win!

[@PinkPantherDK]

I was saying the exact same to myself! It is such an amazing trick

[@shevinskunjumon2132]

me too the fact he held 4 cards as 3 can be noticed

[@shevinskunjumon2132]

he also doesn't spread and display the whole deck. The force is really great with this one. blew my mind

[@shevinskunjumon2132]

i take it back he does display the whole deck

[@Jaydoggy531]

Magic's always been more than just the actual trick, but presentation. I think this is one of the most gorgeous performances I've ever seen.

[@magicmagicmagic4101]

This is beautiful. Every second. This is truly real magic.

[@SylvanasWindrunnerResurrected]

The finish was just spectacular. Finish with fireworks. I like it!

[@markosullivan4206]

WOW the colour changes were amazing

[@StefanMalic]

Beautiful, beautiful performance!

[@MarkHatter]

Amazing, beautiful and so original

[@MagicMonarch24]

I think this is the BEST card trick i have ever seen.

[@craigward7691]

beautiful, absolutely breathtaking!

[@abigailto5350]

This is amazing!!!!! And it is so beautiful as well, the choice of music is great :)

[@valentinotera3244]

Greatest card routine ever. Greatest performance ever. A true Masterpiece and a pieces of Art.

[@kunkushun1]

This is the most creative ive ever seen other than patrick lehnen, beautiful magic dearlord.

[@RichardDominguezTheMagicIsReal]

Beautiful, rarely have I seen anything as pretty and I refuse to gloss over the choice of the song as well. Bravo, glad you won 1st place it was deserved but 1st place or not you truly have a remarkable piece. Thank you for sharing it here and Thank you VanishLive if not for the link in your email I never would have seen this.

[@softmemoir]

as a magician from le reddit.com/r/magic i can proudly announce that this man will be moderating our r/magic board from now on!

[@magic1jim]

Wow!! This performance literally left me speechless

Amazing. Very cool performer.

[@DemoDavidson]

Absolutely phenomenal. Bravo.

[@MrSteven43221]

very nice. This is creative, beautiful, awesome. I love this routine. REALLY EXCELLENT!!!!!

[@mrdirexion]

u have no idea how this works. pure sleight of hand and skill that's all there is to it

[@MrDumb4u]

I think performances with great music are alot better than performances where the magician is trying to act like a comedian. It just gives a more mysterious vibe to it.

[@blandwages6109]

Incredible performance

[@JoaoSantos-se7ty]

the cards have multiple layers, you can see at 2:55 when he moves the green lightbulb (misdirection), he flips the layer on the card with the thumb. but very good sleigh of hand

[@aaronobrien6091]

is saw this guy live at the magic castle he is beast best show ever!!!!!

[@choiwooin]

So lovely magic it is.

[@gmdoni3000]

absolutely amazing :D super clean and fresh magic.

[@knmagic]

Very nice Andost. Congras on your winning. You have worked so hard for it. I really admire you for it!

[@raltemuan1542]

one of the greatest

[@jeffreytamagic]

much respect to you my friend! well done!

[@matizaranto]

Amazin!!!! beautifull execution, very clear, i loved the trick!

[@EdElric666]

goes to show how simple sleight of hand done well still looks like world class.

[@bRadicalmagic1]

This stuff can't be taught, it MUST be learned, well done kind Sir.

[@ARUCARDFTEPES]

Have to say that I wasn't impressed in the beginning with the two lights, but once the yellow and all those were added, you won me over. Went from what I thought was a very basic routine to something beautiful, nice work. And congrats!

[@georgebecker1658]

Figured this one out for once! The cards were different colours.

[@renoblack6649]

Amazing work. congratulation!!!!!

[@kunkushun1]

Agreed this could be the most epic card routine I have ever seen, diff in my top 10. Great work for real!! You got 1st like you deserved.

[@valentinotera3244]

Your Cardini is the smoothest I've ever seen.

[@instant_dreams]

Mind. BLOWN.

[@MrMa1981]

Masterpiece of ALL TIME.

[@MagdasPaul]

Very nice how he is covering the steal when he turn up the lights.

[@kunkushun1]

@nd place was amazing but this was in its own class, u deserved to win man. Well done.

[@Mistercallmecrazy]

Perfect masterpiece.

[@gogtot]

What a fantastic performance. Loved it man!! However I got the way how he did the trick but still he is amazing!!!

[@gzone55]

Fantastico!!

[@technowey]

Wonderful!

[@nguyenminhhuy1700]

please give me a link of cover somewhere over the rainbow of this video =.=

[@PlumpyChinchilla]

Beautiful cover of "Somewhere over the rainbow", who is this guy/group?

[@ZirunOfVindictus]

I think there were 2 or 3 cards that were actually black backed, and the rest is amazing slight of hand.

[@toquinho79]

Excellent Card Magic. Really enjoyable

[@JohnnySilverMagician]

thank you for your highly intelligent input.

[@huungleee]

awesome routine ...

[@davidfanning1600]

Excellent

[@TheGuima29]

Donde lo puedo comprar?

[@WastedMak]

MindBlowing !!!

[@heatednemz]

He can do a invisble pass with one hand. That alone impressed me.

[@Battleraiser]

3:40 I see the orange card within the deck with the black card on top, he then flips the top part of the deck to make orange on top.

[@MagicPatagonia]

wow!!...that was fantastic!!

[@RedPachi]

amazing!!!

[@ghastlycitrus]

the laws of nature are sobbing in the corner over this.

[@Jaydoggy531]

If possible, I don't know if it is, I'd really like to see this performed from just one recording. I understand the cuts to show the different times you've recorded it and to show better angles of the effects (or perhaps to even hide other ones), but I just found the different cuts to be a little distracting.

[@luxon4]

wow this guy takes color changes to a whole nother level that was incredible!! only picked up on like half of them. do you sell this routine?

[@valinor1082]

It was very enjoyable overall, but at such a close range, it was actually fairly easy to catch some of the sleight of hand, even on the first view in regular motion. 3:57 jumped out at me particularly as well as a couple other ones mentioned below. Still, I love the art form and the technique and ingenuity in creating such a trick, it would simply be better viewint it as an audience member from a further away.

[@박세진-r6z]

very good amazing

[@IronMindx]

Very nice show FISM. Muito ótimo.

[@wolfycardmagic]

AMAZING. Absolutely LOVED iT!!!!

[@pblov64]

very simple but with a very good effect!!!

[@snoopyshultz]

one more episode of fool us left I hope I see you on the last episode

[@egiprawira]

respect from Indonesia, for your mind blowing :), great concept and entertaining :), success to andost !

[@DrWetness]

@top2percent how do you know he is a witch?

[@cwjalexx]

nice trick. whenever i hear music from a movie i have seen i always have a hard time remembering what movie it was from. when i heard the opening music i spent a solid 15 minutes trying to figure out where i have heard it. i finally got it...AMERICAN BEAUTY!

[@greatgabbay]

Yeah, Andost!

[@epithet101]

This trick is very well thought out and great sleight of hand. I've been practicing the move he does for 6 months and I am not even close to his level. By the way, I do not think this is a gaff deck.

[@TheGuima29]

Where i can buy it?

[@magicocharles]

very good

[@TheMagicandmore2]

Very Nice.

[@Isabelle-dx7iv]

mind blowing

[@henryyap98]

Wow！Amazing man!

[@killerczar]

that was really good

[@BannHammer]

who does this version of over the rainbow?

[@EntuFkew]

Just remember, you are watching this from a point of view that the judges of this competition don't have. Also, you are watching a video, which means you can watch the exact moment over and over until you catch it. The judges didn't see that, why do you think he's one of the best magicians in the world?

[@RadioLaTorretta]

what is the name of the first song?

[@kiromantikoYT]

this guy can do magic.

[@austinwiser2755]

This was great!Am I correct in I assuming a lot of the cards were double sided?

[@Masclins]

You are 100% Correct. All the cards (except for the ones you see) are double sided. Amazing ability and story makes it one of my favourite illusions.

[@markchan006]

not really( or not a lot). Some are flip cards , and sometimes he palms a card on top of another card. Becoz he showed you that one of the sides has number on it actually so it's a "normal" card. And if you look at his other videos, he didn't change the deck of card when he adds more color.

[@kit369632]

what a touching and meaningful act~!!! the highest level of card magic~!!!

[@VictorMinchihLee]

Ok! Sounds good. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@INCOND1TE]

the best!

[@jack94770]

Je suis content de reconnaître une de mes idées abracadabrantesques ! Dans ce super tour....voir le " tour de crabes qui sortent du_vivier avec le phare d'Ô " par PYJACK

[@licker142]

crazy good

[@krispwnsu]

The cards changed color when out of his had that one time. The cads look grey when no light is on. WTF is going on?

[@MagicEuyenii]

'Over the rainbow' is it?
