Let's Play Blackjack! An ASMR Relaxation Video and Tutorial

[@bramkreulen3553]

This might sound bizzare, but this man has been with me while I sleep since I was a child. Litterally half of my life I fell asleep to his videos. He is the reason im still sane tbh

[@hamsnadwich6767]

It's only been like 2 years since I started listening to him but I feel the same

[@onograce1327]

i feel like i grew up with him just because ive watched so many of his older videos and ive followed him for a few years now, but i wish i had the experience of growing up with his channel :)

[@vincentdeschatelets8709]

I have been watching him for 5-6 years now

[@thebutterflycomposer7130]

Mm. I know this would be difficult to shoot but a game like this or poker or whatever with multiple rift characters would be awesome. Could be Arkham staff doing the Star Trek thing of playing late night poker or the two Clemons brothers playing chess. Could even be a collaboration video with other creators. Thoughts?

[@thecoole123456789]

Seems nicce

[@4zap7]

I’d say it’s feasible

[@pikkkkaro]

Every time I look up a random ASMR video ephemeral rift seems to have covered.

First video i ever saw from you, almost three years ago ... Damn time flies by !! Still following your videos, love them :) ! Have a good day !

[@EphemeralRift]

tarond57 Whahey thank you. Yes it does fly. So savor every moment.

[@tarond57]

My favorite is still the wine and jerky (the first video you made with jerky) the sounds in that video were phenomenal !! And BTW it's really cool to see that you still take time to respond to your subscribers with that amount of comments you get daily ! You're the best man ! Keep it up ! :)

The man has mastered his craft. You can tell he moves quickly in real life based on ephemradio, casual spoken videos, and his older work, but he has learned to move very intentionally and carefully. There are a million little ways I could analyze the refinement in his craft, but I don't feel like writing an essay in the comments. Uncle E, if you're reading this, as a viewer that's been around so long I can't remeber the password to the first account I subbed to you with, thank you.

[@supersonic20091]

This makes me want to go play a few rounds of Blackjack in Thieve's Landing.

[@oneoffasmr7971]

I just typed in poker asmr and surely enough rift has it covered. props.

[@macacoosnofa]

When your friend wants to hang out but his grandparents are sleeping upstairs

[@alexkovacs7]

I love this video. I still come back to it after 3 years. And even though you haven't a clue how to play blackjack it's still so entertaining. Appreciate the work

[@kevinghislain]

Haha the water pouring was like someone pissing in my ear

[@mightybueg4065]

That is the funniest thing I have ever heard in my life.

[@Cjamhampton]

Why do you know what it's like to have someone piss in your ear?

[@lukebirrell]

That awkward camera hug tho lol

[@Rosie-ij3on]

This was the first asmr video I ever watched. I didn’t even really know what it was back then. I can't believe how long it's been 😅 Anyway, this is a classic for me. You are a legend, ER ❤

[@HoodedMan93]

Wow. Up until now I've just been watching asmr vids as calming background noise to doze off to but when you removed the card packets from the plastic I experienced ASMR for the first time. Thankyou.

[@UltraBebo]

Congrats

[@jaxsonme]

I still haven't experienced it, im a...asmirgin

[@guidenredhawk]

Wow I was in tingle heaven! Keep doing these videos where you show attention towards objects and mindful gestures! ASMRtists seem to be going away from that, doing mainly role plays. but you are a refreshing contributor to the community. You have my deep gratitude. Thank you!

[@HE13272326]

I like the simplistic videos. After feasting on Corvus videos for some time it feels good to just have a relaxing game of Blackjack with ER

[@calebantonio3444]

I guess you could say the blue deck was blue ;D

[@unslaadkrosis9435]

Caleb Antonio it blue my mind

[@snuger23]

PERFECT! Not only do you have an amazing voice but the cards makes this vid a bonus. Grew up with Grandpa playing cards every day and night so the card sound is sole soothing at the same time. Thank You so much!

[@Asdfgfw53]

Eph your gum chewing is still god-tier. Best gum trigger for me on youtube. Please make some more vids with gum in them.

[@maxmustermann5331]

This is the first video with gum chewing I've ever seen of Rift and I TOTALLY agree😍

[@hpbb3269]

always find the go fish part at the start really funny haha

[@johno8760]

This was the video that got me started with this channel

[@CrocoShack]

"Oops" indeed, the table is clearly inclined. 8:30

[@brandonandersen6348]

I have listened to this so many times. For SOME reason it just works for me. Best ASMR video ever.

[@CnCunite]

You are, by far, my favorite male ASMR video maker. Keep them up!

[@Talesofadutchguy]

Revisiting this video 5 years later.. You've. Come a long way ER. Thans for all those years full of tingles. You deserve all the good in the world!

[@johnnyconcepcion400]

I clicked on this without knowing it was Rift...and I was so excited

[@MoonlitVibe]

2:45 [breathes deeply through nose] I love the smell of those things. A new shiny pack of cards and the slightly gluey plasticy smell of the packaging. I'm a nature but I have to say, manufactured things smell amazing when they're new. I really like video.

[@FabianoCruzAnimations]

Very nice dude!

[@marcelmot8164]

second time commenting on this video, a full 10 years later and it’s still one of my favorites, I just got a ER hoodie for Christmas and im feeling nostalgic!

the amount of hair he has grown since then is phenomenal

[@badnewsfairy1]

This has become my every night sleep assist. I can't thank you enough. I just started doing my own videos and I hope that my videos provide a service comparable to your's in any small way. Thank you again. You have a way with your voice; it's very calming and reassuring.

[@AudraHMeusx]

thanks ephemeral rift for all your videos. its neat seeing this and seeing how far your craft has come since. keep it up!

[@OnlyAmnesia]

After watching this it shows how far you've come in terms of your videos, like you can see just how much effort you put into your more recent videos (these vids are still great btw)

[@sodiumftw2450]

This was the first video I watched on the channel. I subscribed and that was 5 years ago before you built the world we are all enthralled by. How time flies

[@patsanta7497]

your voice is so relaxing and smooth besides having a nice ASMR touch.

[@PseudoTactics]

Stealthchild wrote: The gum chewing will be a bother to people with misophonia ... WHAT?! lol. Misophonia literally translates to 'the hatred of sound'. Yea sure the gum chewing will bother them, just like locking yourself in a coffin will bother you if you have claustrophobia....wanna bet no claustrophobic has ever locked themselves in a coffin? ASMR is not for people who hate sounds.

[@Shack11]

*Well*, view it like ASMR(as misophonia is practically the opposite); it has triggers, too, and chewing seems to be a big trigger.

[@joanp9791]

I think it's possible to have misophonia and ASMR. If you're sensitive to sounds, it could work both ways - you could find certain sounds intensely relaxing, and then other sounds make you want blow out your eardrums. I have to physically stop someone from clicking their pen next to me or move away from people chewing gum, but watching ASMR is also really relaxing for me.

[@clydeyello]

Not all ASMR triggers are also misophonia triggers: chewing gum seems to be a trigger for both, unluckily.

[@Vienna.]

I have Misophonia and I hate the sound of people chewing gum. However, I find it quite relaxing in asmr videos. Kinda makes me want to punch people in real life.

[@jacksciorti7916]

Misophania isnt a hatred of all sound, its a hatred of certain sounds, and chewing is a very common one.

[@harjotsanghera7064]

I’ve really been watching this guy for over 10 years!!?! Damn

[@greatscott175]

Y'know, a lot's happened in the decade since I last watched this, but most egregious of all is we never got Rift teaching poker as well.

[@gingerapplemilk]

Ahhh this is so good!! I guess I get ear tingles when something is particularly triggering and my ears are feeling pretty fuzzy. Thanks. I love love the hug in the beginning, it makes things feel so very friendly.

[@jamesopilas9664]

I actually skimmed through the instructions in the beginning, and skipped to the actual games. I thought I was going to not learn anything but I actually learned quite a bit; I think I'll start playing Blackjack for fun again!

[@airbus_420]

I really enjoy your Tutorials of games while getting ASMR tingles. Keep it up man.

[@ragdollcoon]

hey this is my new favourite video, i watch the hug at the start and whisper in ear, then skip to when u start playing for chips and watch till the end. and repeat all that till i go to sleep. doing that for about 2 weeks now. thanks alot. cant wait 4 the poker one. and some more blackjack even

[@MrIhatemakinusername]

Where did you purchase the chip set? This video suddenly got me back into a mood of playing cards.

[@idrojd]

coming from a magician, you are handeling the cards very very well.

[@caelinnis]

He knows the basics, and this video is more for ASMR then actually tutorial anyway

God this was 5 years ago and I still come back to it. One of my favorites from ER. :D
