[@jollycooperators9580]

Just realized I saw this man when I was on vacation in Denmark as a kid. Never knew who he was or saw anything of him since, until now. He made me cry with laughter. Cool to see him again, over a decade later!

[@SicketMog]

Yeah pretty funny guy (can't stand most magicians; this man keeps it light). He's been doing a show at Liseberg , Gothenburg for many years (not nowadays though).

[@dafreekofficial3427]

Yeah at Zulu comedy galla 🤣 this guy almost killed me, cause i couldn't breathe by laughing so hard 🤣😂 i don't really like magicians but this is fucking magic! 🤣😂

[@samspencer582]

He is a good magician and a funny comedian. I must watch more of this great man.

there are tons of comments complaining about the bad comments yet i don’t see any actual negative comment

[@_BAD_MERC_]

His whole presentation and humility is absolutely hysterical. I'm getting the impression he's never listen to the cassette tape.

[@rsguitar335]

I was fortunate to see Carl-Einer 18 years ago at a TAOM Convention. I had never heard of him, but have not laughed as hard at a magic comedy act since! Excellent entertainer!

[@CarlEinarHackner]

I remember that gig. That was so fun.

[@PeterOlin]

I have seen this clip tens of times, and cry from laughter every time still.

[@Jotakumon]

Unbelievable. The first time I saw him on TV Total (German TV show), I couldn't but laugh my head off. This is just too hilarious.

[@ursafan40]

A comedy magic act is hard to pull off. The Amazing Jonathon pulls it off. Penn and Teller pull it off. Carl-Einer Hackner pulls it off. Cracked me up.

[@sobreaver]

Practical silliness, with a touch of humor and magic, nice !

[@Harbaron]

I would love to watch Karl's full show. That was hilarious.

[@privatename5788]

I saw Copperfield do this trick on TV in the 80s when I was a kid, but Carl's presentation and personality just add to the hilarity.

[@TK-er2tw]

Do you know where the banana went?? 😅

[@imbetterthanyouis]

i remember that too , it was the great wall of china illusion special

[@privatename5788]

@@TK-er2tw In Copperfield's version, he was just holding it behind the purse he pretended to put it in. With this one, it's harder. I suspect a hidden pocket in the bandana. Makes sense why he mutilated the banana so badly until it was just a peel. It needed to go flat.

[@jcross8750]

By far the best and funniest magician i have ever seen, wish i could see you live man, can't stop laughing and showing people how funny you are 😆

[@stigtuneback1966]

you joking right !

Johnathon Cross He is great I saw his show in Stockholm. He do his own thing and have always done it his own way.

Good laugh! Watching from the Philippines. Grew up in a "Scandinavian" area of Minnesota, USA so appreciate these type of jokes.

[@Randallsilver]

[@ChromeArty]

How refreshing this was! Wholesome and funny! Are rare combo really.

[@Darmachakra]

AMAZING! So good, i really was laughing in tears, fantastic!!!!

[@SurvivingScotsman]

Every time i watch this i love him more

[@AMARBHAVE]

The banana is STILL in the cloth. The cloth has a subtle and hidden compartment in which he put the banana and pressed it. Notice the cloth when he opens it and waves it towards the very end of the video before it puts it down on the floor. The cloth has a slight but visible thickness in the middle.

[@Zerbey]

The trick is something you can find in any magic shop, it's the presentation that's genius.

[@mahalak4383]

Why we indians are so cringe😂

[@dhlong84]

He is genius. Great humor sense

[@adamjones-ps]

[@salcinicus9537]

I have so Manny memories with Carl Einar his shows on Mosebacke, Götgatan (don't recall the name of the theatre but there is a bike store there now), Gröna lund, China etc. a great comedian with a serious side and depth. LOVE IT!!! GO Carl Einar

Glad I found u guys

[@Yue117]

hi are we safe here ? :/

[@mrcyan8686]

i cant breathe anymore

[@DriesduPreez]

I think I know how it's done. The 'normal dark colored hanky' isn't really normal. It's actually a double layered one, and when he stuffs the bandanna into it, he slips it in between the layers (hidden compartment/pocket). When he flings it open you can still see the weight of the banana, but his wacky style and pace makes that you do not have time to register the shape of the banana when he turns it around. The dark color also hides the shaded area caused by the bulge.

[@adrianstraith6536]

Yeah, i'm pretty sure you're right

[@kamileishon]

ah I love him! I feel sorry for you all who dont know how to apprecate this wonderfully silly man!
