[@MrStrange003]

Chris Ramsay great video once again, Love the idea of tutorial Tuesday

[@mozm4664]

Chris Ramsay Ohhh hahaha... I was scared 😅😅😅

[@haldoueck4108]

Chris Ramsay u are the best 😂😂😂

[@harshrealities2881]

I'm 27 with a wife and full time job and all the other adult responsibilities but these videos have me practicing card tricks like I'm a kid. Driving my wife nuts every night like " WATCH THIS WATCH THIS!" Lol. Thanks for the new INSPIRATION!

[@hovannesoo3663]

Haha I know that xDDD

[@TheHarleyhillbilly]

Brother I am 51 years old and I do the same thing!!

[@mattgor123]

First things first, thanks so much for putting out these amazing videos. Probably my favorite magician on KZbin to follow. To everyone struggling with this...maybe I can help a little. I'm no expert, I've just started on my journey a few months ago. This move took me 3 days to "figure out" the basic mechanics of, and after about two weeks of practice, I'm finally able to do it consistently. Nowhere near as good or invisible as what you see pros like Chris do obviously, but it doesn't look terrible from the front angle. One tip that really helped me is to practice pushing the cards in the middle out without sliding them under the card to control to the top. Just break off a packet, tilt up, and while tilting back down, practice sliding the top card(s) of the bottom packet up with the top packet (being held in your thumb and index finger, since your middle will eventually need to be on the card to control). Once you've got that down, the addition of the extra card on top of it (the card to control) will make things a little trickier of course, but once you understand the pressure you need to apply to get those cards in the middle slid outwards to cover the control, it should become much more intuitive. Good luck!

[@JoshHibberd]

I have been on KZbin for many, many years now. I have seen a lot of different channels, each with wavering levels of quality from video to video. I have to say everything you put out is consistently brilliant. Your channel is by far my favourite on the site. Just wanted to say thanks for all your uploads and the effort you put into them.

[@makrostheblack4791]

Chris is definitely one of the best. Over the past year, I have come a long way, in no small part thanks to his insights.

Those teaching skills are on point

[@daniel-xt3tp]

You will never, ever, know how much I’m grateful for this. This is wha it was looking for!❤

[@ERey55]

Even knowing the trick, I'm still amazed every time you control that card. It's the beauty of it. Thanks man, greetings from Argentina!!

[@faithlewis1661]

“Now I know this looks a bit complicated and believe me it is” I love you Chris lol

[@chrismc3744]

"I'm going to show you one last time, then that's it. You guys are just going to have to re-watch this." Lol. Thanks Chris. I started learning card magic around five weeks ago, and your content has steadily kept me going forward. Like most people who begin learning on KZbin, you stumble around, going from channel to channel, till you land on a few that really speak to you. And you sir, are nothing short of incredible to learn from. Thank you for your effort and time in the production of these vids.

[@ethanp.9687]

Finally got this down. Only took 5 weeks

[@danielarbide1426]

King Kush how? It’s hard but not that hard. It’s taken me 2 days to get it right slowly. It won’t take long to get it going faster

[@jonathonmckinley4614]

Ive been doing it for about 5 days now and its pretty solid looking

[@HarleyDirval13]

Obviously king kush means hes got it down right & tight. Lol

[@kaibe5241]

@FDMtech slick is the hard part, so you don't have it down yet.

[@eyobw6737]

FDMtech bottom packet won’t slide bruh

[@Subscriberswithnovideosc-ht9uc]

The reason im here 2 years later is because I'm still practicing

[@cluncz1802]

50,000 Subscribers with no videos challeng e took me 5 mins... not hard

[@amazingmagictrickstolearn3050]

[@saddad6601]

Thank you for all that you do. My 6 year old son and I love watching your videos and learning magic together. You're such an inspiration for us!

[@sarcasteriskchuck113]

I am a newbie and I cannot stop watching your videos. THIS one is amazing and actually not that hard to do - soley because of your thorough direction you distill it down to simplicity. Man, I am SO into card tricks after going to Vegas and seeing Mat Franko and David Copperfield, then going to a shop. Top notch man, keep it up! Thank you so much.

[@prashil3k594]

Tutorial Monday had an idea behind it. It made me actually wait for a Monday. You made Mondays worth waiting for. Tutorial Tuesday may have a nice ring to it but tutorial Monday is the real deal. #ramfam #tutorialmonday

[@cassidyfaith643]

The real deal? No pun intended? XD

[@ryanthibodeaux9988]

I know you probably won't see this, but I just wanted to say that I'm so glad I found your channel! I've been watching your videos every day..... And I've always had a dream to do magic, and this has helped inspire me so much!! And thank you for keeping it fun unlike many magicians today haha!! God bless brother

[@specksbrudda846]

Ryan Thibodeaux you look like one of the happiest men on this planet. I would love to catch a beer with you haha

[@TheDECKMASTER2]

Yes, please do a tutorial at least once a week. I've been learning so much from you and I've only been practicing for 2 months. I can already impress random people and I can't wait to learn more from you. Thanks!

[@saintvallen123]

I have ever seen a more beautiful control. Before i saw behind the scenes, I had no idea what kind of movements i would expect. This "big" amount of movement for such a quick small action is absolutely breath taking. The way that each movement perfectly alligns for the next os unlike anything I've seen so far. Thank you for sharing this Chris, magic like this always opens up new doors for me especially outside og magic. There's always more then what meets the eye

[@MaxDiamond]

Love the editing in this video also love this control. I needed a new one and this is perfect!! P.S. nice NOCs

[@elboogie2324]

They are awesome. I got all five of the NOC Originals colors. Amazing cards.

[@MaxDiamond]

They really are, for the price you can't beat the quality.

[@Eefamology]

Max Diamond white nocs are my favorite

[@tylerphillips402]

yo NOCs are amazing i have 9 decks of them and they as of right now have the best feel and handling in my opinion

[@dylansherry8396]

Max Diamond n

[@Aimee42]

7:39 "Its kinda magical" YEAH. IT IS. I keep saying it.... I am MORE impressed with each trick you teach once I've learned how you've done it. You are a literal magician.

[@benscones9529]

Man getting those cards to slide forward is so frustrating when you're complete garbage at this.

[@wdn-dhap]

Try putting more pressure on to the packet youre trying to slip down under the real card. It helps a lot

[@markcloseupmagic4umagician804]

Please can somekne help. I cant get the cards to push forward. Well i can but they are ALL directly under the top card that I swap so it does not look like card in the middle as its supposed too.

[@sapientia_potentia_est4388]

I have the same problem

[@alecksklar5135]

You have to press downwards at an angle so that the pressure of the cards makes the top of the other packet (where the card SHOULD be from spec pov)

[@aryangupta9074]

I am applying much pressure but then also the cards aren't sliding ahead.... What should I do ?

[@jelqzkomihailov1904]

I am watching this in 2019 and I still love the way you are explaining every single detail of this move making it look super easy. 👊👊👊

[@imaadvirani6037]

Keep it on Monday. It makes Mondays that much better.

[@straiox952]

Imaad Virani very true

[@jasonharris1636]

true, but without Monday there would be no weekend to appreciate

[@AaronAJaeger]

I have learned so much from you it's incredible. I have hundreds of hours of practice in now. I just sit at the the kitchen table practicing over and over until I get it then when I go to the gas station, see a police officer, a fast food attendant, whenever I'm out I love to perform a trick. Engineer by trade, programmer, graphic designer, musician. Math freak. It all applies to magic as well. I love it so much. I always is ask first though if someone likes magic now though because I got kicked out of a hotel once for practicing "Voodoo"

[@Josh13685]

"I will block and delete you" lol got it

[@probablynotmyname8521]

I watch your tutorials, understand the trick and it still astounds me when i see it performed afterwards. You have a great talent.

[@feelingzesty8677]

I watched one of your videos recently and you mentioned your role models and who you looked up to since day one. This made me realize that you probably hear this enough, but you are the reason that I got my first deck and I'm starting to learn cardistry and magic. I also have a deck of the Memento Mori cards.

[@SuperContentDaily]

FeelingZesty total curiosity but have you kept up the cardistry? ✌🏻️

[@sheegybobeegie]

This is the first ever trick I've been showing off to people and I really love the reactions I get. Again, love learning from you, thanks Chris! ✌

[@HeyRnold]

I’m here to advance in card tricks so when my daughter is old enough to comprehend what’s going on I can blow her mind and make her think her dad is a wizard 😂😂

[@AaronAJaeger]

It is being a wizard in a way!

[@johnbarr7215]

The pushing down into the deck made me get it so fast!!! I did a literal gasp and an audible "wow" when I got it haha that move is so satisfying

[@grooom21]

Another insanely good video and tutorial 👏👏👏

[@Ace_Dangerwood]

I wish I could like this twice. Your tutorials are just brilliant. Been learning less than a week, but you make the mechanics so easy to follow and understand that my boss already thinks I'm a witch. Seriously loving your work!

[@elboogie2324]

Been practicing this and it DOES get easier, but it requires a LOT of patience, and trial, and error. This is a GREAT control. The most difficult part is to get that second card to protrude. I still have issues with that.

[@grim789]

Same struggling with that did you eventually get it down?

[@countlesssea7444]

I have learned this move so that it only pushes out one card. You use the top half of the deck to push the card that was under the controlled card before it was controlled out. Your videos are awesome! :)

[@ravenghostrider3661]

i tried this myself now after the tutorial and after alot of practice i managed to only "shoot" 1 card out instead of making the block. have fooled many of the other students at the school thx love your vids and the tutorials are great. have an awesome day and keep up the good work

[@nicoleandreirivera8119]

Man hooooow teach me

[@wiiska6820]

Bro was watching a basic card trick tutorial, was directed to this nice control move. *clearing throat* the best intro to one of your videos ive seen. AWESOME

[@stanleystudios6154]

keep tutorial monday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jamiegalvin]

I thought I would never be able to do this move, been practicing 3 hours now and it’s slowly getting better. Cheers Ramsay 👍🏼

[@Onenronda666]

Im still confused even after watching the tutorial.

[@BoysGotit]

this one takes lots of practice not very beginner but its cool if you get this one down

[@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked]

Same here. :3

[@matthewkeller9410]

My new favorite control. So smooth and not too difficult. Looks fantastic. Thank you!

[@Rhewin]

Man, I'm getting most of this but for the life of my I cannot figure out how to push the other cards out. I'm keeping downward pressure but there's got to be something I'm missing.

[@attamirza2602]

@@nathanielshawe2751 I have the same problem. I got it all right but at the point of pushing the others cards up … Im stuck …

[@colecoolman8127]

i think its because his card has more friction

[@saahasyaddula6589]

You can get a feel for it by just taking half the deck and trying to slide a card out of the other half with it.

[@sobhav7744]

You shuld apply pressure diagonally

[@Rhewin]

Sobha V actually while I might not be as fast, 2 years later I can do it convincingly. It’s all practice.

[@tiagopadua]

Wow!! This control alone is the best thing I've learned so far. It's so clean when done right! Awesome!

[@cyanisable5477]

Awesome vid man, loved the card control and I'll be sure to put the time into it and master it. I'm a huge fan and in my opinion you've been killing it lately, I hope you can keep doing what you love! Do you think we could we get a Vlog soon or an update on first playing cards? Keep the tutorials on Monday cause it really makes my Monday a whole bunch better and I look forward to it after a long day of school. #RAMFAM

[@briancohen-doherty4392]

I really appreciate that you put the effort I to making these instructional videos years ago. Very much enjoying rewatching them.

[@CallingAllCam]

“I’ll block and delete you”. 😂 God damn it I love this dude!

[@treblehead79]

Glad to see you back for another year. You may be my favorite KZbinr. Within word 1 of my first video of yours I watched, I was like, yeah. I would like to hang out with this guy.

[@kristiyanpetkov1565]

Chris, I like your tutorials they're awesome thank you so much for this tutorial I wanted to learn this a long time ago!!!😍

[@TheAlfredo094]

Thanks for the tutorial! It required a lot of practice but it's now my go-to card control! It's very clean and its versatile.

This went missing for a moment. I got legit scared 😂

[@kevinlares1372]

Samee lol

[@imperatorock]

He made it disappear

[@pLaIrVaIdNoGx]

i really like this control, and it is very knacky, the hardest part being to get the card to push out reliably. Thank you for the knowledge.

[@shalter3733]

Can someone explain me how that block of cards is poping out i did this so much but block of cards don't appear help me someone

[@detectivejonesw]

Looking back on this. This is one of the best things you ever taught on this channel I think

[@AndrewsCookin]

Yo Chris you should add in the description what cards you're using.

[@lionelkentler]

StormY Gaming he’s using the green noc’s

[@agelosvs2080]

I was so fascinated the first time I got it perfect. It is indeed a fantastic control..Thank you for sharing this gem Chris !!

Dude this was so hard for me to learn for some reason! Seriously had to watch this like 20 times and practice it a thousand but I just now am starting to get it which is good cuz this is such an effective control and my personal favorite.

[@calebvaughan587]

His “DO NOT DO THIS” is still better than mine after a couple days of practice

Had to watch in slow mo to truly understand how to do this thanks for having amazing video quality that allows for a clean slow mo tutorial

[@dylansherry8396]

You are the BEST Chris!!! I love your videos! I found a pack of cards in my cupboard and decided to learn some tricks, I turned to KZbin. I saw one your videos and got completely hooked! You have inspired me! Thank you!

Best Control ;D do you perform with this control?

[@MemeGang420]

Juulu yes he does. do you listen?

Hey Chris! Great last name btw!! Thx for this video. I’ve always wanted to be able to do card tricks, but I just sucked badly. Im a total rookie, but I’ve been learning since the pandemic started, and I have nothing to do because I have some rare immune disorders, PLUS stage 4 lymphoma, I’m taking the time to learn. All of my specialists keep calling me to say “STAY IN YOUR HOUSE!!” I have several (10-15) tricks down now. It’s enough to make my 10yr old daughter think I graduated from Hogwarts. All the best, keep the tutorials coming, and for the love of God, be safe. -D. 😎

[@shadowek689]

That's really nice Darin!

[@simr6493]

i dont understand how you can push half of the pack under the card without moving it at all great vid tho, thanks a lot!

[@Sulley1562]

Love it! Took a good bit of practice to get this down but well worth it. If you are struggling try stiffer cards. Much easier in my experience 👍🏼

[@sweed1664]

I almost broke my fingers man😂

[@ramonhamm3885]

Smooooooth, and that snow is going up, the way it should go.

[@Spenji]

When I bend the packet and push it into the deck, it just goes straight in and no block of cards gets pushed up :(

[@regularguy1080]

same with me though

[@jpsakr8566]

Me too

[@deadlyrose4043]

I think we need new cards

[@SphaxTTL]

Make sure they're straight. Old cards, have a tendency to stay tucked together, rather than newish cards slide litterly without effort. Ho's or monarchs are my advice.

[@dannymcmahan9266]

Hey Chris just found this and it works amazingly for my ambitious card routine. Thanks for all you have done for the rest of us.

[@jacopoviola7583]

I’m having same problem, I think it’s the slickness of the cards. But I’m not sure

[@TopDoc1]

I'm having the same problem. HELP!! No matter how hard I push and bend the top pack and no matter the direction, the decoy card just won't come out consistently and never far enough. As with everything Chris does, he makes it look so easy!!
