Which Trick was YOUR Favorite?!

[@jburkhardt2706]

the shoelaces trick was great, but my favorite was the guy with the long rope, that then had a bunch of square knots, then wound up being separate loops. i'm old, so i don't have to bend down to the ground to see that one :)

[@miguelfernandes2760]

The end joke.

[@AndreasMagic77]

Hi chris from Ibiza Spain, i'm so happy to see you having fun with magic again since you are the reason i started

[@BionicBurke]

The shoelace trick was the only one I can't think of a method to duplicate the trick with... like.. the whole untying it at both ends is what gets me on that one.

[@MagicShopSanDiego]

That stapled corner to the card was sick, but of course we are a little biased 😅

[@VanishingIncMagic]

Thank you for not only coming Chris but making yourself truly part of the convention in every aspect. You're a great member of our community. We are so grateful for everything you, Eric, Alex, and Wes did over the weekend.

[@ChrisRamsay52]

Always!

[@billgreen4003]

Cool Alex and Eric also nice and Wes Barker cool everyone

[@jacobtrindade6728]

The shoelaces trick was actually insane! Something I would expect so see in a David Blain special!

[@MrDonnovan27]

Thanks ;)

[@FutureVegan]

@@MrDonnovan27 that is the best trick I've seen in years

@@CaptainNematode thanks! It is currently out of stock every where. @Donnovan Mount when will it be back in stock?

[@dagdogg]

@@jacobtrindade6728 Laced Up is currently in stock at Penguin Magic.

[@4saken404]

I really like the first trick with the card box because not only was it just _insane_ but it also has the best name! "Case Dismissed!" 😆

[@KenoshaKicker]

Someone stole my money and replaced it with multicolored handkerchiefs when I was there.

[@rollinsyenga1628]

Down in Ohio, Swag like Ohio.

[@WesBarker]

This was my first MagiFest. I loved it ❤

[@GwynAuger]

Mine too, and it was SO MUCH FUN

[@sirlaughalot65]

Mine too Wes!! Nice to see the big trick energy crew all there!!

[@csalazar1230]

Messado and his rings were one of the first videos that made me want to learn magic and is still real magic to me. I could watch his routines for hours and I own and love his products, but the man makes the ring tricks just vibe on another level.

[@DinsdalepiranHa3]

The smile I had watching this! Your love and passion pours out, and it's infectious, Chris! Thank you for taking us along with you and doing what you do ❤️

[@RianLehman]

Thanks for stopping by the booth I really appreciate it. Such a great feature of magic throughout the video and convention. Great stuff

[@streetmagiciandude]

bro that rope trick where it alll turned into loops has me spinning!!!! i must have it!!

[@sambarseghyan6412]

What is the name of the rope trick? Would love to purchase it when it's available

[@skydivertak]

The shoelace and ring was magical. A far cry from the self-tying shoelace that I did when I was a lot younger. (I wonder if it could be adapted for snow-boots here in Ottawa, lol.) The shell game with dice and match boxes is great too!

[@CaptainNematode]

This is laced up by Donnovan Mount. it can be adapted for any laces, but the m*****s wouldnt be strong enough for hiking after

[@ramonhamm3885]

14:50 I laughed out loud bigtime, thanks for that!! 😆

[@KingstonCzajkowski]

OMG 15:41 is the PMCM from the Paul Harris book! That's crazy - Harris thought it impossible!

[@georgivasilev3417]

14:30 the kid got the chops, so happy to see kids being that good

[@chrisannablemagic]

Thanks for taking us along Chris! Not sure if I'll ever make it there so it's great to see on here! 👍

[@daverothberg2624]

nice job Chris … It was a pleasure meeting and talking with you 👍👍

[@JamesWiseMagic]

The first time I saw the Shoe Lace trick it blew me away! One of the best tricks I've seen in such a long time! I was completely fooled!!

[@joepublic4082]

Ok, that boxed trick was cool, but that trick with the reef knotted white rope that separates into individual sections, *with no magnets,* is mind boggling & definitely my favorite. My favorite card tricks were Cash's trick with the deck on the floor, the Ace of diamonds becoming the 2 & because he's a little man the kid's super smooth double lift card switch trick. I do a trick which is similar but his handling of the cards is definitely smoother than mine so hats off to little man.

[@randyporter3491]

That rope toward the beginning was a great visual effect. Thanks for sharing this visit to the dealers room, a magicians favorite place in the world to hang out !

[@Kemp1730]

The ringestry was stunning, the shoelaces and ring is just mind boggling!! I'll have to check out those podcasts

[@jacoblittle3693]

The shoelace and ring was SICK!!

[@PatoMPlay]

I love these videos. I’m an amateur magician and I feel like I enjoy it much more than someone who doesn’t have a clue what’s going on. Thanks for this content Chris

[@Datrebor]

All of the tricks were really amazing. My favorite one was where the person made the card box disappear and them placed them back in the box without opening the box. That was really cool.

[@carrottopevans]

That shoelace was so sick!

[@GaryCunninghamyouareenough]

Such a cool vlog, Chris - cheers for sharing this with us. I would love for something like that to happen over here 🙄... This was one of those videos where my head was just 🤯 every time someone did something on the screen 🤣. It's so good to see such love and enthusiasm for magic 🤘. And ya gotta love, Wes 2nd Bicycle deck 🤣🤣🤣. Looking forward to "You Flash, You Lose" and BoB 🤘. Great video man - sick edit too 🤘🙏.

[@igorsvacic217]

that shoelace and ring with moving tie I saw it recently somewhere it really melted my brain GREAT trick

[@zencomeseasy602]

That kid at 13:49 was slick as hell! Smooth, clean, and cool from front to back.

[@morganmay9149]

Thanks for sharing! That shoelace trick was insane. I was smiling like an idiot watching that.

[@CaptainNematode]

[@Bluhbear]

@@CaptainNematode Yeah... they _did_ say his name in the video.

[@ramonhamm3885]

10:10 Can I show you "SOMETHING"? haha! 😁

[@MrWrl101]

The shoestring trick was INSANE.

[@greggshiu]

The shoelace trick was bananas, but I really enjoyed "The Can" a lot. It felt like a very ramped up in speed version of WH's Sinful!

[@colbyjames86]

These are probably my favorite videos of yours. They always remind me of my childhood going to the Del Mar Fair and visiting all the stands. The same magic guy was @ the same booth each year. First, the fresh mini doughnuts, then go check out the magic guy.

[@JoshNorbido]

Who thinks Chris should be the official blogger for all major Magic conventions and theatre shows from now on!

[@jameslebeau7078]

I had fun at You Flash You Lose, and it was awesome meeting you and the BTE boys! I hope they make YFYL a regular part of Magifest

[@Blondie42]

Those 2nd Bicycle cards were probably a major highlight for Wes.

[@ryanlalondemagic]

Just an awesome video, felt like I was there. Can’t wait for upcoming BoB episodes with the legends!

[@ChrisRamsay52]

Us too!

[@stefanf922]

That shoelace illusion was seriously dope!

[@Drabee]

the ring and laces trick made my jaw drop!!! so good!!

[@xz9925]

that poor guy you made so nervous, his hands were shaking @10:52 but so smooth with the routine.

[@Justmagic_NL]

That shoelace trick? Omg! Its been a while since a trick felt this magical to me. OMG.

[@SathvickSatish]

I love the "could this be the greatest magic trick" videos cuz these tricks really are incredible!

[@jeremytanmagic]

thanks for covering this! love this! whaaat!?

[@brettlindsay4683]

Um I would love to see the shoe laces in person. That was one of the craziest tricks I have seen. Sooo Clean!

[@CaptainNematode]

[@MikaHarris_]

Always enjoy these convention videos! Beautifully shot Chris ❤

[@gusmaschmann]

Holy Cow! I live in Columbus and had no idea that this was going on. Can’t wait till next year. Hopefully I’ll get to meet you sir. Great stuff as always.

[@risitasfrance9020]

14:17 Well done boy 👍

[@TheEdibben]

Excellent show! You capture the most amazing things on camera, and it keeps the “Magic” looking great!

[@brianshilling]

0:07 that's Cleveland. Columbus doesn't have a lake near downtown.

[@ChrisRamsay52]

yeah my b haha

[@brianshilling]

@@ChrisRamsay52 man no big deal. Ohio is an awesome place, glad to hear you were here. Hope you got to see a bit of the town or had some good food. Keep doing your thing!

[@MattMiltonberger]

The level of talent of all the kids that were there was absolutely unreal! That kid at 14:00 was showing people tricks left and right with a crazy amount of skill.

[@JonnyMack33]

The laces.. had my head in my hands xxxxxxx

[@teslapete4461]

best trick was at the 30 second mark...drone footage of Cleveland for a Columbus event, lol!

[@harsanmarius5307]

That Cola CAN knocked my brains out straight.

[@Just_BenTurner]

Dude the shoe laces made my brain melt.

[@TheOddestJ]

Dude! Mark Mason! God I miss him since he left Blackpool. I don’t get to conventions much these days but was a regular at BPool for 15 years or so. Great video mate 🤙🏻

[@morfusaf]

Black knife white knife guy was shaking like crazy. I think he was nervous performing in front of your. Your to famous!

[@VictorShiryaev]

This is all so insane! The wonder I feel watching this - a child-like wonder - is just priceless! I wish I could see a real life close up magician performing. It is my dream!

[@aaronharthun3602]

Great video 💯🔥😊, i smiled the entire video. Keep up the good work. Love y'all ❤️

[@cramias1]

I've always been a fan of Pavel's walking knot, the shoelace trick reminds me of it but in a close up context. Its a great effect

[@NickSchraderWeekly]

You are telling me my home city holds the largest magic festival and I NEVER knew about this?! Already have a reminder next year to buy tickets. Would love to shake your hand and thank you for continuing my curiosity in magic, even though I do not perform tricks. I love your content

[@ChrisRamsay52]

🤝

[@saylork8547]

The Magifest cards look cool 👍I just received the 1ST Rider Backs yesterday, and I gotta say, they are sweet! 😎 I thought the match box monte was cute. But all of the tricks were super entertaining, though! Always enjoy your magic convention videos! ✨️ 💯

[@aaronharthun3602]

"and you can hand this out" lol😂

[@tylerrichlen3286]

Those were amazing but Messado stole the show with the ring handling. That was rad.

[@sysphotography]

Chris: What’s it called. Guy: 30 😂😂

[@patrickwarsalla9804]

The matchbook trick, trying to figure out who those two guys were and if that is available for purchase? Just had me sitting in silence with my jaw on the floor!

[@benmorey]

Yooooooo I’m in the video at 13:50 I can’t believe it lessssgoooo 🎉

[@brandonsells7944]

Oh wow caught this video early!!! This man shares my fav things .. magic and puzzles loving it

[@ChrisRamsay52]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@wayne8855]

14:25 thats better than my TC yuck dude that was sick.....nice job!

[@earlarrowood]

God I miss magic conventions. Last one I attended was a “ Super Sunday “ that Bob Little - “The Wiz “ - used to coordinate outside Philadelphia. It’s been years.😢

[@benjaminb3295]

Great vid! Also, the city you showed at the beginning of the video isn’t Columbus, it’s Cleveland. About 2 hours north of Cbus. 😆

[@lonislan9345]

Magic brings the kid out no matter how old you are! Thank you man for these videos

[@starchildben]

Anyone notice that the intro B-roll is Cleveland, not Cbus?

[@tilkka_]

That steal from 15.06...that was smooth!

[@paddyharris3554]

I just like to imagine all these people are just actual wizards.

[@tophonor2528]

This would be fantastic experience to little kids! What a magical heaven!

Please upload more videos like this ❤❤❤ thank you Chris ❤

[@zerohours.]

Thank you for all the magic content lately

[@VorpalSnickerSnack]

This just fucking awesome. Reminds me of when an old friend "Jello" was learning your card change. It was clean af, I was burning his hands yet couldn't see the change despite asking him to do it a few more times.

[@TheAgentofEnigmas]

Though we didn't get a chance to meet personally, I was wonderful to see you at Magifest. I hope you had fun. 🙂

[@freedomdudez]

I got the black and white knife from a magic shop like 15 years ago and knowing how the trick is done, THATS VERY IMPRESSIVE! No wonder his hands are shaking lol

[@terranb21]

I live in Columbus and I didn't know this was a thing! I'll have to go to this next year.

[@arothmanmusic]

The greatest magic trick was apparently moving all of downtown Cleveland to Columbus Ohio, based on those opening aerial shots…

[@Free-Gee]

🤣🤣😂

[@Eurok666]

Laces trick was awesome !

[@glassdave]

i think we may have just witnessed actual magic . . . sorcery level out of this world actual magic with that shoe string guy 👽 . . . so cool

[@ThreeToesofFury]

ok...this is all BRILLIANT. clearly its witchcraft and some harry potter spells n sh%t. the dice box guy blew me away. THANKS!

[@markditullio4575]

Wonderful video! You captured the magic of MagiFest!

[@randystewart8895]

Really impressive how I was kept so entertained with a frickin' shoelace. You had to be there...

[@Dbrockjohnson]

Bro, I can't believe you got to collaborate with Bicycle! Congrats man!

[@claudiagriego7662]

Going to be 100% honest but I don't think I've ever looked at magic this way and I have never thought that it would be this freaking cool.

[@ECM-2011]

As a boy scout the ropes was a square know witch can be tied by doing right end over left pull then left end over right pull

[@kranwa15]

I like the can trick and ring on shoe lace.

[@GhostMobX]

That sweeping camera shot in the beginning is not Columbus, Oh I should know I’m from there. 🤣😂 I’m like when did we get a beach ?? 😅

[@SarahMelodyVinci]

That’s definitely the Cleveland skyline 😂 (I’ve lived in both cities)

Lol, the opening city shot was of Cleveland...Just a heads up

hahah oh snap dont kill me im from Canada
