[@jakehobrath7721]

This guy did my work party and he was absolutely amazing. I thought the best tricks were when he made people's thoughts appear in the deck, similar to what he did with Leonard, but much more developed than just the material shown here. He did a trick that seemed to be 10 minutes long, every few seconds unleashing another prestige. During it, he used information acquired from the audience to direct him to the card he needed from the deck. I study a lot of sleight of hand, card setup, flips, multi-card pulls, etc... and he's the first magician I've seen that I haven''t been able to piece together the combination of tools required to execute his tricks. Its almost enough to make me think he had shills, but they were my friggin' coworkers and I even I gave him information that led to a card needed for the story. Great stuff Hannibal!

[@HannibalSpeaks]

Thank you. How could you tell that Mr. Lovick was in the audience? The very next night, Jack Goldfinger and Max Maven were in the front row ... that's intimidating!

[@doggo7567]

You are awesome

[@BurndownMeglynx]

what really got me is when he had the card on the table that she lied about. Ive seen a lot of magic in my days, but that was perfectly done.

[@tecwzrd]

3:28 he loads the King of Hearts from the Deck (I lie sometimes, e.g. the card wasn't in the deck) and places it below the card on the table. Great sleight of hand, but easy to spot if you know what to look for.

[@Endeva09]

I love the fact that his magic is great and he’s so laid back, it’s almost like the tricks work by accident, I personally hate these big build up sequences some magicians use with fancy lights and pyrotechnics and stuff, it’s much more relatable and enjoyable when you can watch someone just doing great tricks care free. Only found you this morning Mr. Hannibal, if you ever come to England to do a show I’d absolutely love to come and see you. Keep up the good work!

[@josiah42]

Me (2020): "Three of Hearts" Leonard (2011): "Three of Hearts" Hannibal: "And here's your card!" I didn't think magic tricks were supposed to work across time and space. I guess this is subliminal messaging??? I'm really impressed you can make people's choices that predictable!

[@itaintrocketscience3828]

Same here! First pick was 2 of diamonds. When he said "Pick a completely different card," I CLEVERLY thought to myself: "Hahah! He's expecting me to pick some number far away from my first pick, like a 10 or a face card, so I'll be Smart (TM) and pick the very next number, a THREE!" Then I also said to myself, "And I'll change the suit to really mess with his brain, but I won't go for the other color, no, because that's what suckers do! I'll keep it red and pick Hearts! THREE of HEARTS, that's my new, incredibly sneaky, ultimo-obfuscated choice! Now HE'S the Sucker! Enjoy those fava beans and chianti, Hannibal! They've been deep-frozen, like the best dish of revenge....EVER!!!!! HAHAAAHAAHAAA" Then he shows the 3 of hearts and I cry. Bravo, sir. Brah-voh!

[@Eric_The_Cleric]

Yep. 3 of hearts was my pick as well. Just sat in total disbelief, I have NO idea how it's done.

[@Mungle84884]

"I lie sometimes" I feel like this is the key. I won't spoil it for anyone else but I'll just say this was an amazing trick and your charisma and banter are top notch. You've earned yourself a fan. I wish you the best.

[@davidgibbs7232]

Never heard of this chap until a few days ago. He is absolutely brilliant and very funny.

[@DKCreo]

Came for the magic, stayed for the entertainment. You carry yourself well, and the way you interact with your crowds is just fun. I've only discovered you within the past hour of posting this comment, but know that you've made yourself a new fan, Hannibal. I'm actually pretty shocked how small your base seems to be (in the grand scheme of things), but seeing that other people apart from myself have found you in the same way of random KZbin recommendations within the past month or so is very encouraging. . . You're a talented man with a passion that brings many people joy. Keep at your craft and never lose the love.

[@magicman1086]

"I love you because you're watching every move and really following this and I do appreciate it". You sir, are a true magician, one who doesn't get a thrill from people laughing or making polite eye contact the whole time but you get a rush from knowing you fooled someone who was trying their absolute best to catch you. I think that even if I never saw any of your other work, that line alone makes you easily one of my favorite magicians.
