Chris Ramsay // Street Magic

[@jefabre79]

Chris, I know you probably will never read this message, but I got to get this off my chest. I just recently became a huge fan of yours, I'd say about 5 months ago. I've seen a ton of your videos and you are by far one of the best magicians out there... not only that your a cool dude too! However, this video in particular touched my heart! Since Christmas of last year, my dad has fought through Stage 4 Liver Cirrhosis, it was so bad that I thought we were going to lose him before 2018. He has also fought and won against Prostate Cancer, and just had hip sugery (which the ball joint popped out of socket a couple days after surgery). I say all that to say this, you make the impossible, seem possible... not only that, you explain how it can be done. Also, I would love my dad to get that feeling of amazement, as I do watching your videos... wether it be solving puzzles (which I personly love) or your magic (which I'm trying to learn, by my fat fingers get in the way... haha). My dad, is my best friend, and he's been through a lot. To see a smile on that mans face is such a gift to me... because it was almost taken away!! Thank you, and please keep up the wonderful work you do!! Semper Fi my man!!

[@alexvozmagic]

Nothing is "Impossible. The word itself says, I'm Possible". Keep it at bro.

[@xx_andy_xx2416]

idk why tf this comment hasnt got like 20k likes . im sorry about your dad though

[@Van_bya_river]

He has shown and said hand size is no obstacle. Keep at it brother.

[@tonysunshine5727]

Hey drama queen, nobody cares about your daddy issues. Time to put your big girl panties back on dude. Man up and keep your fam business to yourself

[@davidroberts6546]

Don Lorenzo bet you wouldnt feel that way if your dad was in the hospital kiddo, keep your mouth shut it aint your place to speak.

[@intox69]

My favorite reactions were yours Chris. The look on your face when you see their reaction, you can tell you absolutely love every minute of what you do and it fills me with warmth every time. God bless man.

[@destinytana5852]

Bruh those people were calm af. If I saw that I'd be hoppin round and screamin. Good job, keep up the good work man

[@stefanjovanic7725]

So you would be overreacting.

[@banban8481]

This is the real reaction when you do street magic. No one in their right mind will jumping around screaming. They will be surprised and try to solve the magic tricks. Sometimes they will ask you to do it again.

[@johnnyg7498]

You know a lot of KZbin's are in it for the money. When you see a video like this you can see someone who is truly sharing their feelings, someone that has passion for the art. Chris here has just shown that, the true passion of making people stop and enjoy and smile.

[@Chrisjamesmagic]

This was great! Loved it!

yeah i love your video also

The pure joy :) it brings others and brings me. I cried at the end. Been fighting alcoholism and epilepsy. Yes connected probably. Help me more than you know man. So much love

[@SourPatchKnight]

Stumbled on this old video. You Came a long way, so glad you’re still doing something you’re passionate about and love. So inspirational

[@SantiYounger]

Dude such wise words, and amazing photography and of course beautiful magic and performance, you just inspired me to create a video like this! thanks a lot man

[@ChrisRamsay52]

Thanks!

[@danielevans1689]

[@SantiYounger]

Thanks check out on my channel a video I have called "STREET MAGIC // Cinematic Color Changes" Chris inspired me to get that done!!

[@danielevans1689]

Okay i definetly will

[@RowenDekkers]

Already back then a true visionary! and now ... 5 years later, this man has the audience he deserves! 2.5 miljon people supporting his passion . Stay true to what you love Chris! We'll support you! #RamFam

[@ASeale74]

So good to go back and look at these videos. Seeing where Chris is now and his personality now compared to where he was just 6 years ago. Such an amazing and awesome progression

[@jamesppesch]

I think, this is the greatest monologue yet on the subject.

[@tristan2840]

I agree...

[@aliadosmc]

Why everyone have to be the way you want! Maybe she is having a bad day or simply she don't like magic at all (my son for example, he don't enjoy magic tricks, he thinks they're boring) and you can't blame him for that! You ashole

[@Noleggeisha]

@@aliadosmc Giving credit where credit is due is not "a way" it's being decent. This was an amazing trick and Chris was giving his all to the performance. She comes off as condescending.

[@falchionpunch0888]

you bring a whole different meaning to magic for me dude I started with your videos and I've been doing magic for a month now and I've learned so much from you on the morals and the meaning of magic I've been depressed for most of my life and since I've discovered magic my life has changed so much, just bringing joy to someone's face with the simplest things as magic doesn't just make there day but it makes mine. keep it up man and don't let ANYONE bring you down, we might not know each other in person but just know that you have brought someone out of the depths of hell and brought him up thank you so much for everything

[@bsw051]

Finally made it to the end or should I say the beginning of the Chris Ramsay journey. It's been a true pleasure. Thank you

[@chemistry800]

Chris, your performances during vid were outstanding, genuine and highly skilled. You have put years of arduous work into perfecting your craft. You are a credit to all that have come before;however, many thousands of years have elapsed. Man, who wouldn't dig this??? Please continue!!!

[@NonLethalPanda]

Amazing video and inspiring to me. I have some friends and people that think im stupid for wanting to learn magic but this inspired me to keep going. Thanks so much, amazing words, magic, and amazing inspiration! :)

[@ChrisRamsay52]

Keep at it!

[@NonLethalPanda]

[@joseph_lacy]

[@fahimkazmi6695]

+Marlon Uballe Every person reacts in their own way. Maybe she is shy. Maybe when she went home she couldn't stop talking about what she saw that day. That's what makes us different as individuals I guess.

[@jonathanfriberg8604]

+Fahim Kazmi no she was just uninterested, no way she went home and thought anything of it

[@fahimkazmi6695]

+topnotch3232 woww dude. I didnt know you could read minds through the video ;)

[@mickaudio8432]

Magic is such a beautiful craft. I remember how i felt when someone performed a trick i learned barely 2 years ago. And the trick was done in front of me when i was probably 14 years old. I'm 27 now I wish I had practiced more of it. Because it's people like Chris Ramsay that make the world a whole lot more interesting. And better. I have not a clue what his budget is but South Texas needs people like him. There might be one guy out here as we speak perfecting the craft enough to perform but until that better magician pops out. I'll do simple simple slight of hands every now and then. The one I'm trying to perfect now is a coin trick, but it just falls everywhere each time.

[@kidink0djillwill]

people dont like long tricks, even tho i really like the trick you did in the middle, i realized people lose interest in tricks that take longer than 1-2 mins.

"You can leave the roll of quarters in there" 😂😂😂

[@quinnpineiro7051]

Keep doing what you're doing man. It's so cool to see people react like that and sort of surreal at the same time. It makes them happy and it makes me happy

[@skeetersorenson4909]

Great cinematography & camera work. I felt like I was watching a TV show.

[@rachelenannipieri8596]

Chris Ramsay deserves to be known more than he is! Really a big inspiration for me! Always remember that "Magic is not only a trick" cheers.

[@MarskosLaboratory]

you are right and wrong yes magic isn't only a trick but an illusion and mind game that is how all magic works coming from a magic myself if you have any questions on how to perform some magic tricks lmk and I'll explain all of it. 😀

[@harshmagic2110]

*Chris I was getting demotivated about magic, but then I watched this video! Chris has something! something inspirational, something magical, Thanks Chris!!*

[@dalmynroets1534]

hey chris, you not only bring smiles to the audience you work with but to many people out in the world. I'm from South Africa and i really enjoy your videos and it bring so much joy and inspiration. I really want to learn these things and bring just as much smiles to people here as you have over there. Youre an awesome person and dont you ever change. Keep it up buddy

[@howgamer]

I'm watching 5 years later,still fresh and amazing,also what's the name of the music?

[@promqueenkiller]

The description says it's called epidemic music

[@GeekedOutNeckbeard]

I want to learn those kinds of tricks, unfortunately I know some alright ones. I love magic and I love how people react when you do something they don't expect, especially when you 'mess up' I work at a gas station, so you know I ain't doing good in my career choices, but I started learning how to do actual magic in order to make every trip a customer has a special and unique one. I must admit my heart gets warmer every time someone says "you just made my day so much better!" or when little kids have that sense of wonder and they're just genuinely blown away and they just high five you, give you a hug or just brag about you to their friends at school. I love how magic touches people and they just genuinely become happy. Pass those smiles around more often!

[@Jaasau]

That one brunette girl holding the red pack is all like, "I'm not going to let him see that I'm having a great time. I'm not that easy."

[@ToThePointCT]

[@Gustavooo310]

Man, you're just awesome, I started watching your videos like a couple of weeks ago, and I always liked magic, and a year ago I started doing magic tricks, I tried to learn cardistry and I studied hypnosis too, and only now I met your channel, i found your channel about two weeks ago like I said, because I'm Brazilian,so forgive my poor English, I studied how to speak English for 4 years, here we don't have any magicians like you, so good and that shares knowledge, I really am enjoying your videos, not only tutorials, cause I learned better magic tricks with you, I'm getting better because of you, but I'm getting more compromised with magic watching this kind of video, and I get very excited with this videos, envolves me a lot, thank you for doing this with people like me, and maybe you didn't know that you're affecting people from so far like me, thanks a lot man, really.

[@jashuacruz3028]

I found you a few days before, and man... You are soo cool. not just by your tricks, but as a person. keep it good man!

[@calvinclayton2396]

Wow! 9 years later. This video got me to begin my journey into magic 5 years ago and it continues to inspire me!

As a magician i would like to say that the first explanation about "What's Magic" was amazing. You really got it!

[@magicofjosh]

I'm a ride operator at a theme park in Missouri called Silver Dollar City and I do that glasses trick to people all the time! People freak out haha! It's so fun to mess with people on those rides. You do great work Chris!

[@sadbanananaboi7800]

Mr. Ramsay, this is by far my favorite video of yours! :D I mean, sure, your other videos are incredible too, but this one is so inspiring, relaxing, motivating and just beautiful at the same time! I think, you're my favorite magician, because I love how natural you deal with the spectators and they seem really focused on what you're doing there and they make an happy impression on me. :) Keep up what you're doing, cause you're amazing! ;D

I bet you're 100% correct. He's holding his wrist and moving his arm, that makes a perfect distraction to slip the piece into his pocket without noticing.

Heyho #RamFam I'm not often commenting stuff on youtube, so i think it's kinda special :D Because of several streetmagic videos (JS Magic, Blaine, yours) i started with card tricks 3 weeks ago, so one day I can go out there and show random people my passion, just like all of you crazy talented people (I mean I'm garbage at it, but I think "easy to play, hard to master" is the right way ^^). It makes me so happy to see all those reactions, all those happy people and brighten up faces man...Those kind of videos leaves me with some peepee in my eyes :-) This video dude was the first I saw in this category, and it is real magic. Not because your tricks and slights - but because of all those happy people afterwards who completely forgot their business and the time while they watched you doing magic.

Ive always said the same thing!! Not only more believable, but also more interesting and entertaining to watch in some way.

Blaine lets his magic play out and doesn't push the story. Basically lets the audience draw their own conclusions. It's a really effective way to perform.
