Have you ever considered doing a mini series where you take an average person with little to no skills and train them over like a 60 or 90 day period and document their progression? Would make a cool video series. Yes im interested and available to learn :)

@@fizzycola1232 Watch slowly how Chris performs it. I had to take a few breaks during the day when I was practicing it, but do something different every time you mess up and eventually you'll find the right motion and hand placement.

[@becomingmagic6047]

Nice to see an in-depth tutorial on the snap change done right! Also really appreciate that you give credit and some back story in you videos! Thanks for the content Chris!

[@paper3993]

I figure this is the only trick that I’ve mastered. Damn I feel like a badass magician even though I’m not

first of all: thanks chris! your explainations are always the best second: for those who practicing - the light touch of index and middle finger is the most important thing to stress here. if you grab too hard it won't work no matter how hard you try

The best thing about Ramsey's channel is how technically useful his teachings are, as well as how diverse and original his content is, along with high quality editing. Definitely an example of a lot of good things coming together.

Your tutorials are AWESOME! You take your time to cover everything, and is slow enough to understand. THANK YOU!

[@youreoffline4934]

You know, if I'm ever gonna turn out to be a decent magician, more than fifty percent credit goes to you. The percentage may seem insignificant, but for me it's really important and I'm just grateful.... I'm sounding stupid and I guess it's normal for teens to sound stupid. Thank you so MUCH. It takes a big heart to reveal your tricks just like that. A big thank you from an Indian girl trying to master sleight of hand!

@@m5craft889 bwahahaha Excuse me?? You have a problem with my use or the word “shit”???🤷🏻‍♂️😆

[@davideeyo]

Chris your skills boggle me, man thank you so much for your generous sharing! I learned this move from a J.C. Wagner video about 25 years ago. An original and well-misdirected routine I use is (following the horizontal 'flick' style snap change) - with my right hand, immediately spin the [second/selected] card up about 2 feet and catch it - at my eye level just to my right. Simultaneously the deck (in my left hand, with the [first/wrong] card now replaced on top) is turned bottom to the spectator as left hand ends pointing to my temple, my mouth agape and eyes wide and a-buggin'. Freeze. The patter goes, "This'll drop your jaw....this'll bug your eyes... this'll knock your socks off...you wearin' socks?.." Look down towards their socks, chuckle, look up, then flick/snap… astonishment! Credit Doc Eason for the 'knock your socks off' line.

[@nathancate582]

I love all the comments "I just started trying this and I cant!!!" Its called practice. Not everything is handed to you.

[@J00EE]

Nathan Cate I e been doing this for to long tho

[@BradenCarlisle]

Was that really Jesse Eisenberg's fault? Or the camera crew's? Hmm... When I perform the snap change (rarely) for someone, I could care less about if anyone else sees how it's done. I use comedy a lot, though, and say something like "That trick is only impressive to you" or "This was done using angles". I guess it's all how it's handled.

[@firstnamelastname3089]

Braden Carlisle, woah. Cool idea, I'll use that. Thanks man.

[@ZeroFlowers]

Braden Carlisle No he definitely failed that trick. He isn't a magician, if he was he'd know better 😂

[@YcleptJohn]

Or it could be the fact the host of the show said no to both cards?

[@andrewsparkes8829]

YcleptJohn David Letterman was known to be a gentle douche to guests that show off skills, though (as in he wouldn't insult a singer for singing, or a magician for magic, as it's their actual livelihood, but he'd knock an actor that sang/did tricks in a movie, if they did it irl later). In a jokey way, I mean; being the grouchy grandpa kinda became his 'thing' in his last decade or so. Did the audience see the card too, or are we just going off his own, highly questionable word?

[@HighTechWizard]

This is my favorite opening you've had on your video. Thanks for that!
