@ChrisRamsay when are you uploading a new video? Cuz I love your videos, you have an amazing personality

[@elboogie2324]

Knights!!!

[@infinitytradingschool4223]

Chris Ramsay hi

[@FarhadBaloch]

Excellent trick! But the real trick is how he got away with that giant thumb count :P

[@igorsvacic217]

Also, is itso damn hard to shuffle the deck after the first phase and put the bottom card on top so you can pull some descent force like slip or "cull" if you put it second, third or whatever. I dont understant the hindu force, its an offence to spectators intelligence Or, if you ppl do hindu force, take a thumb break on the selection, do a classic hindu shuffle and when they say stop you take the pack in your right hand (with the selection on bottom) and touch the other half and ask "here?" and in process while asking you leave the selection on top of the pack in your left hand. That way you'll not have a discrepancie of mixing the top of the deck and showing the bottom as sewlection. PS.I know it does fly, the classic hindu force, but DONT BE LAZY, and DONT UNDERESTIMATE YOUR AUDIENCE INTELLIGENCE.

[@hudders11]

igor svakurac there's a great version of this on art of magic atm that avoids the Hindu shuffle in the trick entirely which I love. I never liked that bottom force procedure either

[@straymusic]

thomas hudders I'll have to check it out because I absolutely despise the Hindu Shuffle, I think it looks so horrible. I do a version kid this trick where I cut the cards, hold a pinky break, and do a riffle Force. It looks so much better. I will have to check out their version

[@hudders11]

Greg Schachte basic method is start with the odd coloured duplicate a few cards in from the bottom and cull it as you start spreading face up and have them name any card they see. Then you break the spread there to slide their selection straight in front of the odd backed card and square up. And you started with the regular colour duplicate on top so that you can easily reassemble the deck after your double lift in such a way that the card you need to force is on top and you can use a much nicer looking force. No hindu shuffling at all

[@straymusic]

thomas hudders My man, thank you very much. Seriously

[@trebolzero8497]

Great trick, worst double lift ever! 😅

[@bibekshah3701]

The double lift is not as bad as the camera angle.

[@owendorsey5866]

Yep lol

[@owendorsey5866]

But that just shows how much you can get away with lol

[@elboogie2324]

LOL at the critics talking about his double lift. This man is a paid performer, and you're watching him while sitting on your couch.

[@tomgoffnett5624]

Exactly. I absolutely enjoyed his performance. What a great idea having people like this entertain your wedding guest.

[@jackmanning1117]

Exactly. And hey, as long as you’re personable and can keep their attention, you can pretty much be as sloppy as you want and they won’t notice. I’ve been amazed at how much stuff I’ve gotten away with because people just weren’t paying that much attention to my hands, more so to my face and what I was saying.

[@UomoSecreto]

All those losers are infuriating. I had to scroll down too much to finally find some sense.

[@wawatheowl2129]

This is a cool card trick but that double lift was so obvious.

[@lancetschirhart7676]

muggles is dum

[@iamBlackGambit]

Yea cause of the angle!!!

[@urbanstylecaptures8716]

🤩🤣🤣🤣yes! 😌That was the best part!! 😂😂😂😇

[@MrSirFluffy]

1:15 That's a very simple but clever card force, I like it. I guess the typical person wouldn't even notice the bottom card never changes, yet it's the one "revealed" to them.

[@cardmagicgallery9234]

Hi, if you like visual card magic, have a look on this : kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXKqiZd9qZl_l5o

[@redace4821]

There is a better way, keep a break of the bottom card, do Hindu shuffle and when they say stop you ask "Stop here? You sure? " as you said that you move the hand with the break on top of the other package and drop it, than you show them the top card on the package you just drop the card on If you already know, it's fine but for those who don't, this is a good way to get away with the Hindu force

[@Shamefulroleplay]

Yes not a great double lift, but he does it aimed away from the audience and his patter is so on point nobody notices the lift. Magic is about a lot of distraction, he does it so well.

[@HelloiamEdd]

Magic has been one of the funnest magician Ive watched for awhile but there is absolutely no excuse on his atrocious double lift considering he’s been doing magic for a long ass time.

Overall, this the BEST video I have seen on magic; including Magick -- that guy is incredible!!! Thumbs WAY up!

Fantastic trick here. Im adding it to my arsenal

Thanks guys as an older magician I used to do a lot of stage stuff I'm getting in the close-up You gave me a lot of valuable information I can't thank you enough

[@tkarlmann]

The first 2 minutes of this video is fantastic. Incredible spectator for this trick!!! The woman definitely enjoyed this performance. Well done Magick & Alex; thank you! Remember folks, she is the lucky one -- the 'Magic' is in her mind! Looks like she was very happy.

[@sorbas-irokanshi5256]

love the way he performs...well worth his money...if i ever get married xD

Lol yep

[@Josh_587]

Hey Alex, can you do a video on setting up and cleaning up? Especially while doing walk around. One of my biggest problems is how to set up/clean up after or even in-between tricks. The obvious answer is pull out a new deck, but pulling out deck after deck feels wrong to me... It gives the impression that you have something to hide.

[@jankun24]

Josh you can cull cards, palm them off, or setting up the deck while you search for specific cards or while you talk. Just be creativ, this is what I think

[@muhammadzulhadi4534]

rich people are dumb hahahaha i like it 😂

This was really a fun presentation learnt something new today. Thanks.😘😘 I hope u don't blush.😂😂

[@alkinoguapo2008]

That cringe double lift in the performance

[@rickintexas1584]

The signature really is a great tip. I’m definitely going to try it.

[@aluxia9534]

Nice video! And for fav close up magic, always amazing to see when a magician tugging the line between magic and pickpocket, like stealing their watch and stuff.

[@thucydidesse]

I really like this trick. I have a question about this: do you have a quick way to reset it ? And do you always use the same red card or do you change it for each presentation during the show ?

[@justin870116]

If anybody really like this trick. Go buy Chicago Surprise by Pop Haydn. Or search Pop Haydn on KZbin, see how he does the trick. Best variation of Chicago opener I’ve ever seen

[@ptrichie71]

I'm nicking this type of performance but im going to use the "KISS" Gaff card!? so when they blow the second kiss the card in their hand has the Lipstick mark on it!!

[@snoookie456]

I got a christmas gift. Vest with 20 pockets. Very cool for carrying tricks, especially if you're like me and you hate backpacks.

[@saulipalokangas619]

Funny thing is that a previous video i watched was when you Alex talked about a double lift, and how some magicians just do it, not paying attention to how they do it, its enough if they get reaction. Now, i definately mean no disrespect, but now when i watched this clip (not completely though) i feel like mr Magic just did the double lift, in a manner you described is a wrong way to do it. Like i said, no disrespect but it was just a funny coincidence. Greetings from Finland. Thanks for your videos. They are inspiring.

[@saulipalokangas619]

After reading other comments, i must add that my double lift isn't perfect either and i didn't want to criticize. It was just a funny coincidence how Alex talked about the importance of the double lift in a previous clip i watched.

[@anthonysmith8321]

Is magic from New York? We have a magic out here in Seattle! I was trying to figure out if it's the same guy from Seattle.

[@soap1618]

He manged to do a routine with some simple moves. Nice♥️

[@MasterWingman]

the pull the finger trick doesn't stink idk what magic was talking about.

[@hansfrijters9796]

great video! I love the way he really interacts with the adience! I read some comments here about his DL in the first trick. Who cares about a DL when you have such an amazing interaction with the audience? Plus, he gets away with it anyway. Love his vibe/spirit

[@RajbirSingh-rd7qg]

Can someone tell that how he managed the position of last card? How it's position did not change? Poor explaining, only focusing on speed.

[@anthonysmith8321]

I rewatch the video and got more out of this. Thank you and your team for the tips. I live in Seattle and trying to make a name for myself our here. I don't know if anyone online know who I am.

[@jankun24]

He riffle the back of the deck to get a break haha...Tony Chang and Xavior would kill him for that

[@cardmagic0513]

That is called Chicago opener I learn that trick from exit 707

[@anthonysmith8321]

I feel the first part let the spectator spread the cards. Make a way for them to spread the cards. That's what I do. This video is awesome on how to talk. Thanks for the tips.

[@nicpicot2297]

well well not as good as it could be -- when I do it -- their card blushes and then there is a kiss on it ( 2nd climax) and they keep it as a souvenir!

[@anthonytmein]

Wow Magic loves that marching powder!

[@exexangel]

Magic's patter is magic! I find as card magicians, we can sometimes come across as quite arrogant or condescending without meaning to. His patter is fun, playful and almost flattering! To me, the real gold in this video is watching Magic perform and paying attention to how he engages his audience. Great tricks and advice dude, Thank you!

[@cal_laz]

Wonderful video Alex and Magick is great. This vid is a wealth of information.

[@robertherzog9294]

This was great advice on something I always wondered about ,which is how to many tricks to have ready for walk around and how to best manage your pockets for doing so. I already have various bags of different sizes that I use. Envylope is awesome and a trick that I should revisit again soon. One of my favorites is a trick I purchased from the Houdini store in Las Vegas called "Unthinkable". The decks I carry around the most are the Unthinkable deck, a Si Stebbins stacked deck, an APEX Triple Threat Deck, a regular bicycle deck, and an Invisible Deck.

[@Alfredogile]

Wow ! The best tricks for wedding or party with friends ! Great magic ❤️♦️♣️♠️

Good stuff (pocket management...) and nice convincer ! Hey about that transparent box to carry decks safely, if anyone has a link to buy them, I would appreciate ! Thanks !

[@mikefishermagic]

I wish I'd seen this before I became a magician! I learned it from Dan Fleshman circa 1989 (his version is called red hot momma in my wallet) and I've done it thousands of times...it's just bedrock solid. I wish I could have experienced the amazement I see on people's faces before I learned it!

[@YashRaj-xv2yo]

00:57 ...bad double lift😂😂

[@justinj4171]

Nice video I love magics performances he's very quick and witty :)

[@MrEsMysteriesMagicks]

Alex, I loved the way Magick used the "blow a kiss" gimmick. I've used it for years slightly differently. I ask the female spectator if she knows what the most magical thing in the world is. Naturally, she will say no. I then tell her that it's the kiss of a beautiful woman. Hint: age doesn't matter! I ask her to blow a kiss at whatever I'm working with--cards, dice, rubber bands--in order to turn them into magical items. Sometimes, I pretend she "misses" and I react as if the kiss hits me on the cheek. (Immediately insert appropriate joke to your spectator.) Try it sometime, especially in a bar on a weekend. I get great response with this approach and it would fit in perfectly with the Red Hot Mama trick.
