[@ChrisRamsay52]

I genuinely did not expect that card to vanish! Seriously fooled myself hahahha

[@bingbongthegong]

Good stuff as always, beard magic guy with a hat who also does puzzles. 🤙

[@JakHart]

I'm still trying to figure out how you did that. I'm fully convinced it's actual witchcraft.

[@Jrboysun]

Do it again

[@m4ddyk]

Imagine being soo good that u fool urself 🤣🤣

[@DrDrewdude]

I cannot see it drop… you accidentally real magicked

[@gcewing]

Tree shadow: There are two lights, a bright one casting the main shadow and another one on the other side casting a fainter second shadow. Initially the bright light is swamping out the second shadow, but as he moves around the tree he comes between the bright light and the tree, making the second shadow easier to see.

[@scottgriz]

Or someone brightens the other light at just the right time.

[@fx4d]

Yeah, some auto-exposure stuff going on there, too, right?

[@phoneymoon]

Yes , for sure the camera changing aperture and therefore revealing the shadow

[@infantrypaladin]

Basically competing lumens cause washout with a reveal at shift.

[@johnrobinson523]

His body blocked the light behind him making that area less bright.

[@Agnarchism]

You honestly reawakened my love for magic. I did a lot as a kid, even getting into the freak show side of things with hammering nails into my nose. I really feel off, but you've managed to make it peak my interest yet again. Thanks Chris.

[@simonnading]

Ah, a fellow human blockhead.

[@jt_myth]

I pulled out a deck of cards in my office while watching this and started doing false cuts and shuffles and some ambitious card moves myself. Haven't picked up a deck in months maybe even a year or two as well.

[@RayTru111]

What's weird is I saw Del Toro's Nightmare Alley a couple weeks ago which reawakened my love for magic, which has been dormant for 2 years. And "coincidentally" (even tho nothing is a coincidence) Chris Ramsay, the guy 12 year old me used to watch when I originally fell in love with magic, posts a video about how he is going to start doing magic tutorials again. Nuts.

[@CavanBooth1]

That's amazing that you fluked that vanish 😂 normally takes 100s of tries

[@grey7987]

The tree shadow thing looked like a result of the camera auto-adjusting the exposure to me because you can see the light levels changing as the camera angle changes. But if it also appeared that way to their eyes, I don't have a good explanation.

[@bloviatingbeluga8553]

This was my guess, too. They probably experienced this visually too with their eyes adjusting as well.

[@SikSensei]

Perhaps a Polarized lense filter?

[@spots_knight]

It is possible that it is a result of the camera auto-adjusting, but it really looks to me like a new light source is added in the distance. Also note that the new shadow is a lot fainter and shorter so the light source appears to be from farther away and higher up (maybe an apartment window). You can also see more light reflecting off the street as well. (you can see it the clearest if you pause at 15:52.

[@derekmcdaniel6029]

It's also possible if the light doesn't scatter, but only reflects. A shadow on a mirror may not be as visible unless you are lined up with the light source. If you had a very faint light of a specific wavelength, and the ground surface reflected that wavelength instead of scattering it, you could get that effect.

[@EE-cc5bd]

@@derekmcdaniel6029 Derek got it. CG engineer here, giving a +1. Surface looks wet.

[@RESUHT]

pretty sure the reason the pen going through the cloth, then the hole disappearing, is because the edges of the cloth weren't bound/tied off, and the weave was fairly large, meaning the individual fibers were easily pushed aside to allow the pen through, and loose enough to allow the fibers to be re-straightened without a machine, thus closing the hole

[@ssnoww]

no it’s a self-healing cloth

[@RESUHT]

@@ssnoww to my knowledge every type of existing self healing fabric requires water to be added, and unless I'm mistaken, no water was applied to the fabric in the video

[@kevinbealer6320]

You may be interested in looking into that spring some more. It would be a cool optical illusion for your space. It is a concave mirror, the spring is placed below where the person's hand is, but the angle and depth makes it so the viewer can't see it. The spring really isn't in the location the person is grabbing it, but it does cast shadows properly.

[@lowellcamp3267]

Pretty sure the shadow appears only when you cross the tree because the sidewalk is a bit wet (and therefore a bit reflective). The shadow you always see is from the diffuse sidewalk, but the shadow you only see at certain angles only appears once a different light source appears in the (super blurry, and therefore hard to distinguish) reflection.

[@Manuite]

Yes! Either this or perfect timing as one street light is a little slow to lit up.

[@floris1200]

Maybe a polarized lens is used for blocking directional light. If the lightsource from the appearing shadow is blocked it also don't show its shadows. By walking around the tree the camera and polarized lens are rotated that in the begin the lightsource is blocked and in the end the light from the lightsource is passed through the cameralens.

[@superdan2593]

You are 100% right about the reflection of light on the sidewalk. See how the street gets even brighter from that light source as he walks further. So technically it's not a shadow but more like a mirror where the dark part is the tree.

[@cachetheline]

9:44 love that you fooled yourself knowing that we'd be fooled as well, haha. I totally watched that bit a few times thinking you knew the trick and pretended you didn't. But yeah, looking VERY closely there's a tiny shadow where you can see the card drop at just the right angle to have zero reflection; maybe some of the video encoding blended it in too :). So well hidden in the black! lol

[@love.wildly.live.fearlessly]

The pen through the cloth is just sewed with widened spaces between the thread and you’re able to spread the threads open and when pulling on them they slide back into more evenly spaced lines which causes it to go back to how it was.

[@khalilahd.]

I’ve never been into magic until seeing your videos. It’s such a cool form of art 🙏🏽

[@nodowt]

The material thing is just them opening up/spreading the weave in the material to make a gap, then by shuffling the material around the weave settles back into place… Same way when you get a pull in a woollen jumper or whatever, you can generally shimmy weaving around to get the string to settle mostly back into place. You could probably do the same thing with cheesecloth or any ‘loose’ weave material.

[@kennyboy6325]

Good to see you, Chris! I owe you a great many thanks. Most of my card fundamentals were learned because you showed me an interesting and approachable way to gain them. I used to be a music teacher, and I recognize that "inspiration" can be a difficult thing to translate to people, even when you are passionate about something. You really inspired me to try something that I always wanted to. I still love showing quick color changes to customers at my store, and having the, "OMG WHATTTT?!?" reaction. I mean, think about that. You get to ripple out these waves and get more people to smile because of your love for the craft. That is monumental. Always a blast seeing you in the magic scene...I know you as "the magic guy who does puzzles," by the way.😂✌

[@koszegimatyas]

Chris, I am the guy, who you featured on your channel with the card vanish. I already told you that is just dropping it perfectly horizontal. It is simple, but one needs like a hundred takes. :) Glad you nailed it in the video!

[@Jack-yq6ui]

Weird he did not mention that you actually told him how it worked and instead he pretended to figure it out accidentally.

[@koszegimatyas]

@@Jack-yq6ui Well, he said my explanation was BS that time. 🙂 Well, it wasnt't. You just drop the card. 🙂

[@envy.2782]

im so happy you're getting back into magic! you're the reason i got into it in the first place, love you man!!!! keep it up!

[@malthail2523]

little does chris know, hes the only reason I got into magic the summer of 6th grade 6 years back, all I did that summer was benge chris' videos and magic tutorials

[@toneknee6139]

That is a super dope projector, loved all the clips thanks Chris

[@OVRxNxOUT]

Bro, been a subscriber for years now & your B roll footage has always been on point but you’ve only gotten better & better at creating some beautiful cinematography/videography & I don’t know the 1st thing about pro cam work. You actually get me to watch the sponsorship just cuz I like to see the footage. Everyone else I skip past it. Well done. …oh yea, your magic is pretty good too. Lol.

[@TheEfX]

Chris. Every single video of yours is a masterpiece. I love the Intros from all the videos that you create. Its just amazing!!!😍😍

[@ChrisRamsay52]

Glad you like them!

[@itsrandomist]

your magic videos are genuinely the best of the best 💜

[@ERNesbitt]

19:30 There is a "Singing Road" on Route 66 in New Mexico, also. It plays "America the Beautiful". You are correct on the how, they alter the distance between the grooves to generate the note frequencies, and the length of the strip gives you the note length.

[@zombiedrawing]

Hypothesis for the Ace of clubs trick because I picked clubs too. I think it is just simple mentalism where we all think of spades first since it is the most popular and clubs is "one" psychological degree away since it is black but a different shape. and picking between the red options would take too much mental energy in that short amount of time. So even though it would seem like a 1 in 3 chance we would pick something other than spades (because spades is toooo obvious and we want to fool the magician), that we actually fall into their trap and pick clubs way more than a 1 in 3 chance.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

20:43 It's interesting that the whole waterfall goes from laminar flow to turbulent flow after inserting hands in one location!

[@guerilla3633]

I haven’t watched one of Chris’ videos in a little over a year (give or take), but seeing Obi is still here brought back some memories and filled me with joy

[@cjtyler01]

The trick with 4 aces was crazy because I also chose the ace of clubs before Chris or the lady said anything.

[@bluewetball]

same I was blown away lol. It can't possibly work for everyone that way, right? like 1/4 chances but damn

[@rarodriguez]

i chose ace of clubs too... before he chose it. Then i hear him say ace of clubs, then i hear the girl say ace of clubs... That is just weird... how were we manipulated to choose that one??? i wonder....

[@Kleyguerth]

@@rarodriguez My guess is that it is the same kind of thing that makes most people think the same when asked "think of a color and a tool". Most people will think "red hammer". Asking "pick one of the 4 aces" might have "ace of clubs" as the most common answer

[@dipper7373]

We have those musical roads in Japan too. Always exciting when I get to drive on one

[@strider2175]

For the shadow: nearby lights are washing out the second shadow until the viewer is close enough to see it.

[@Uhjedth]

I've watched your content for 3 years now, really wanted to start learning magic but never found the time, but your recent video discussing current state of magic really inspired me. Bought myself my first bicycle deck, learned a snap change, how to fan a deck and some easy card manipulation from your old videos. Exited what I'll learn next, and what you'll teach me in the future! Thank you for your videos.

[@DarkAhven]

This is how i started around 3 years ago, hard to find time to train with kid but getting forward slowly 8)

These backyard videos are really nice. Very chill.

[@NominalJoe]

Honestly love this format. More please.

[@jayTwilliams]

loved seeing the dark magician every time you started a new clip. cant wait to see more magic on this channel

[@412mtk3]

So for the shadow I think a car comes with it’s headlights on which causes light to face the other way and causing a shadow in the other direction (car just happens to come perfect when he crossed) so basically it’s car lights causing it

[@chriscalvert]

Love that you have been re-inspired by magic. Keep it up, my dude. 👏

[@aroshadithyan8573]

Hey Chris, I've been watching your videos for a long time and I got interested in magic and your tutorials helped me in magic and cardistry. And do more tutorials plz. Thank you man keep rocking and congrats🥳🥳🥳🥳

just dropped one on monday

[@aroshadithyan8573]

@@ChrisRamsay52 hey can you do a riffle fan tutorial?

[@gablison]

That cube hinge thing reminds me of the fidget toy also made of cubes and hinges that seems to go on forever.

[@jt_myth]

video series idea maybe. I love your magician reacts videos and I always anticipate the "Hey! let me try that!" So maybe a series where you watch/pick 3 submitted videos of tricks and then you learn/teach yourself with your knowledge of moves and perform them without a tutorial. Maybe film the practicing process too. Thoughts? Or a simplified version would be a mix of magician reacts where you pick out recommended videos you think you could do and give yourself 3 strikes to replicate them before moving to the next video or something. like a "Try not to laugh." but like "Try not to flash" Or something.

[@tilkka_]

I know these won't bring you enough views. But I hope you will keep doing reaction videos and tour magic in general. Fun format that I have missed. Also happy that you have found joy in magic again. Hope it will spread like it did in past. Thanks to your videos I got entertained enough to dive to playingcardworld and magic few years ago. No regrets on that!

[@gusteg83]

I like the hole in the card routine that it went from 4-1 in the card as well (and all different cards family Diamond, Hearts, Clubs and Spades)

Love these videos. The pashmina video is real, that is a very fine thread and hand woven, the guy is basically pulling the fibers apart without tearing the fabric. A real shawl would be priced in the 1000s

9:30 And Chris, the method you guessed was right. This vanish is called the "Thousand Takes Vanish" and was made by a British magician, and the method completely justifies the name.

Watching late at night in bed, that jump-scare intro music startled the heck out of me. Also brought me out of my half-asleep relaxed state like a rat out of an aqueduct. Not overly impressed, especially as I need to get up for work in only a few hours. Scratch this channel for listening to for late-night relaxation. 😬

[@alexbrooks7489]

I had a field trip to a hot air balloon place in elementary school and they had self healing fabric that we played with. It’s good for hot air balloons because if you run into a tree or something and a branch makes a hole you can just rub the hole and it’ll heal. Blew my mind back in 2004 and still so cool to see now!

There is a musical road here in the US as well...loved it as a kid and it played the Loan Ranger theme song and a few others. :)

[@kamara.istvan]

Hi from Hungary! Every 1-2 months I drive on that musical road when I visit my parents :D It's road 67 and it plays the song "Road 67" by Republic. Keep up the good work Chris! Funny that you fooled yourself accidentally :D

[@dorbie]

The tree shadow is just a dim light behind the tree with low diffuse reflection due to the dark pavement but it shows up as a specular (satin reflection) when viewed from looking back towards the light at the correct angle due to the slightly shiny damp pavement. You can confirm this specular reflection that is angle based by looking at the road behind the tree. Just as the shadow appears, the road gets brighter due to a backlight. Similarly the pavement gets lighter and the shadow appears by contrast, so it is not the shadow that is appearing but the surrounding illuminated pavement that is getting brighter due to a directional reflection of a backlight.

[@Andrew_McGrath]

Awesome video Chris!

[@CookinWithSquirrl]

Always enjoy these reaction videos but this one was extra cool with the outdoor and puppy vibe.

[@jay-50]

That more like a orami, like the spaceships that are examined in space, that is.

[@clothedinsalvation]

There is a light on the other side of the street that is directly pointing towards that posts and it’s just the perfect distance to be able to cast a shadow without the light illuminating the whole sidewalk and then when you walk from one side to the next it’s just like sticking your hand out in front of your face and close in one eye and the next that’s just the best I can explain it

[@fuzzy3407]

awesome trick! love your content. keep it up man.

[@marcosmartinezrodriguez9305]

Hi, yes so about the shadow coming from the the pole I believe it has to do with the lesser light being killed by the brighter source of light, and once moved in a different angle the lesser light gets to shine and be obstructed by the pole crating a lesser shadow, me thinks, cuz if you see the moment the shadow casts there’s a bounce of light coming the direction of the camera, and the pole :)

[@Gapingmagic]

Those tricks are amazing

[@Pete..]

Shadow that happens only when you walk by the tree has something to do with the lights height and the Kashmir that fixes itself is real its fabric that shifts from its specific stitch placement

[@miller2675]

The shadow shows up once you have gone past because before you were at enough of a sharp angle of incident that the light glancing off the sidewalk towards you washed out the shadow. It shows up once you are past and no longer looking into the subtle reflected light from the lamp casting the first shadow.

[@OneAndOnlyZekePolaris]

Kallima inachus, the orange oakleaf, Indian oakleaf or dead leaf, is a nymphalid butterfly found in Tropical Asia from India to Japan. With wings closed, it closely resembles a dry leaf with dark veins and is a commonly cited example of camouflage.

Cloth made by fine silk and polyester material and it has micro fiber threads that attach automatic after broken.. this cloth is used in winter. its warm and wear by both male and female.. thanks you 🤘👍

[@ThomasSlaney]

Tree shadow theory: the type of paving of the sidewalk is why. It is made to be very flat, which though not a mirror, behaves like a mirror in low light. It’s much easier to see the shadow when the light is bouncing back at your eye in a straight line reflection (like a mirror), especially since a dark color sidewalk surface will have less diffuse reflection (making it look darker). It’s a cool phenomenon, not a camera setting difference.

[@SunshineMix101]

😎😎😎Because the camera [8:40] obscured the full extent of guys arm, I wondered if the card was vanished using an adapted Gecko-type device. Personally it looked too clean for just a drop though admittedly, Chris showed that was possible too. It may not have been attached to his person and instead, took advantage of an off-camera assistant and a careful and precise use of camera angle for the effect. 'Just a thought. 😎😎😎
