Hey buddy ... it's Chef Anton. Thanks so much for taking the time to review my act and make such positive comments. Normally I have to pay people to say such nice things. My expertise for Hustling spans many arenas but specifically here I was referring to "Billiard Brainteasers or Bar Bets you so on a pool table". In fact, I sell a book and DVD called The Pool Hustler's Handbook which teaches 50 of them If you would ever like to do a video chat or teaching podcast of some sort, I love teaching magic. More importantly, as you see Fein my act, I am a big believer in character development, through lines, motivation of props and patter, as well as the cohesion of tricks and consistency of character alignment. And yes, I perform regularly at the Magic Castle in both Close-Up and Stage Magic and maintain my consistency of character on each room. If you look up my Card on Forehead as well as Balls Over Head you'll see my unique twists on these classic tricks that solves common problems. My KZbin is MrChefAnton and would love to share thoughts and insights with you Keep up the gr8 work. (Yup even using pool consistency in my closing line) Happy Hustling Chef Anton

[@EduardTodor]

Hey :) Nice of you to stop by, appreciate it. That is awesome, I would totally be down to jam, maybe rack your brain about a couple of things here and there. Love your work, the amount of effort you put into your routines definitely shows. I hate the youtube PM system I never use it, maybe throw me your contacts at [e-mail] and we can sort a time out :)

[@deeeeeeps]

You beat me in pool and did a foam ball trick to my friend while stealing his wallet at the Minnesota state fair. Decades later still a great memory.

[@scubamagician3354]

@@deeeeeeps I remember that event. 1995 hot summer day in Minnesota. The balls had rooster tails from the humidity. Glad you’re still retelling the story

[@muhammadrawashdeh4318]

Wtf was that bro, you always surprise me with your intros.. Keep it up man.

[@mickavellian]

Let me comment on TIMING ...... TIMING is everything in music, public relations, to a chick or have a cop let you off .. Land a job, it is all in the cadence... the fluidity the 1234 - 2234 - 3234 thinking in terms of rhythm, pauses and cadence. This guy was impeccable. Not one word was ad libbed , over or under emphasized. It is all in the level of comfort you give the audience. I give two shits P&T knew the trick .. the fluidity was a perfect sine wave. Like someone trying to hypnotise you . Deliberate well enunciated words. Now this is a perfect example of a rythmic chat. On the other hand.. That guy SankeyMagic . NOT a clue as to what rhythm is , stutters , wants to say 5 words at once, his volume goes up and down , over modulates syllables all around . a SHIT performer and all because he never paid attention to the power of clean communication. He sounds like he's on speed and everything MUST be said in one breath. I was delighted when P&T just nailed him regardless his braggadocio that he invents all his routines. Yeah and maybe THAT is all you are good for , cause presentation , speech , clarity volume and balance .... he is a disaster. Notice the voice of Criss Angel, Dynamo & David Blaine . Ever heard this guy sspitting when he tries to tell the world what a GREAT fucking trick he just invented.?

[@bellmeisterful]

Hustling in pool is the art of being very good but being able to play as if youre not, which in itself takes a lot of practice once one has become great. You appear to be not that great when you first start playing, start gambling low stakes...lose 2 or 3 then suggest you up the stakes like to get your money back. They think they have a pigeon on the hook so they agree and then you win, but not blatantly.

[@pierremasse4659]

that's exactly it...the most common pool hustling.

[@SlottedDiamond]

Also see "sandbagging"

[@harashkupo]

Or watch Pool Hall Junkies ;P

[@420jaynay]

To hustle in pool, you fake it like you suck at first. Lose a couple small bets and then get them when they think they are better, and they will bet more. It doesn't go over well these days though.

[@saraha180]

I mean this in a nice way, but I'm surprised you haven't heard of pool hustling. Broadly it just means making money by playing pool for money, but it often involves tricking people so they underestimate your ability. E.g., pretend to be drunk, lose some matches to a friend or lose some small-dollar bets. Once there's real money on the line, you win-possibly by pulling off some lucky shots so you don't tip everybody that you're a hustler. There's a famous movie called _The Hustler_ with Paul Newman. It's deservedly a classic film-though some find it boring.

[@heyhey3479]

You make the opponent think he can beat you in pool and then you raise the bets and beat him but make it look like you just got lucky, not skill.

[@carolyngrinberg6889]

So maybe he didn't fool them, but pooled them? ...sorry

[@steve-ol7ee]

Carolyn Greenburg made my day!

[@jonhohensee3258]

not sorry enough

[@TheRealCowlick]

Guys, his pass is invisible and looks good, but remember what the spectator sees. A guy riffling and shaking a deck of cards for no damn reason...

[@EduardTodor]

If it's consistent to what I do normally, there's no issue. It's only when it strays from my normal handling of the deck that people start to question things. Everyone handles the pack differently, "natural" is different for everyone

[@soccerman26]

Dude how did you get your pass so good????!? It's wild. But for real is there one person in particular you looked to for learning it?

[@soccerman26]

Also you hustle in pool by pretending to not be very good and playing for like 5 bucks, losing badly, and then go double or nothing and take their money. Someone like Anton probably can almost always sink every ball off the first turn

[@veronliew1911]

Cody Allen I

[@prashil3k594]

buy xavior spades pass. its the best

[@wygram]

What's a pass?

[@prashil3k594]

wygram it's an act of cutting a deck secretly. Real powerful stuff. Can make wonders.

[@Reis2TheOccasion]

Yo Eduard who's your favorite UFC fighter?

[@mindsetoverhaul]

i replayed your intro trick 3 times at 0.25 speed and couldn't catch a single beat. You magicians are fascinating

[@thespeedyyoshi]

Hey, have you heard of Matt Franco's got magic? I recommend you react to a few of those! I'm mainly curious what you think of Howie's one. =)>

[@andrecatita1939]

Nice method on that trick dude, I have to try it out on the streets, throw some cards on the ground 😂😂😂😂

[@taimursaeed1039]

yo eduard recently ive been hit with a very different request( for me atleast) ive been asked to perform card magic (specifically) for OLD people now mind you all these folk are 70 yrs + and very experienced bridge players. is there any routine/act setup you can recommend what effects could i perform? any advice you give would be really appreciated . thanks and much love

[@mickavellian]

THAT was a killer move .. I am thinking , the first magician who invents a way to NOT use playing cards and NOT sign the card will be a phenom. ! Il mago de tutti mago

[@alanholowaychuk6788]

Had to laugh at the "how can you hustle at pool?" thing, the very first time i learned about hustlers was pool. I'm sure someone else said it, but you pretend you're bad, lose a small bet, then go again for more money and kick their ass. oldest trick in the book.

[@JustGotALife]

You should do that beginning trick like the Chris Pratt version on Graham Nortan show . I know it's called something I can't remember the name. Since this trick was short it was easy to see the 4 card trick in the end even though i am not a magician .The longer version would distract the mind :D. I hope I didn't reveal too much. Also you can react to that Criss Pratt video. Keep up the good work.

[@TehEeveeGeneral]

There was another act on Fool Us that did it with a sword (the traditional way I think). I can't remember if it was before or after Chef Anton though. I think this technique is better.

[@eljayr4669]

Nice opener. Saw your remarks re Richard Bellars. A great trick for me as I can't even do a double lift.

[@KinnereyB]

Hustling is an art. In pool you’re better. You lose a few game intentionally to a decent or ideally good player. It builds their confidence and the amt of $ they pony up. It’s a real common thing in the US especially back east

[@makramchehayeb4587]

Yooo dude! Sorry I am not a nactive social media user (instagram, twitter) give me a hint on what is about to go down!? :) Good luck with those things as well!

[@skilleyskillz9221]

CHEF ANTON. How do you misspell his name in your title?

[@gabrielsegura8654]

Congrats for 13K my bro!!! Keep on keepin it real my friend! 😎💪

[@DJDarkGift]

A Pool Hustler at First comes off as a terrible pool player. Then once he lures his mark into a game of pool, for money, he may let them win the first or few games until the bets get rather larger where then, miraculously, turns into the worlds best pool player taking all the marks money. This same practice would apply to others as well, card cheats, etc.

[@zchmak]

Eduard, you should do a video solving your Rubik's cube. I personally solve it and I would love to see you doing so :)

[@vipulvatsyayan6955]

Dude the pass is great however don't use it to over prove the shuffles. The first time it looks like nothing is happened but the spectator can identify the pattern the second or the third time if you repeat the move. In a real performance i am sure you can get away with it by directing the attention away from the cards during the pass, but on camera i think the pass should only be done if there are no other options.

[@classicmail8239]

You hustle in pool by purposely loosing bets until the victim thinks they can score big money, and then you turn into beast mode and take all their money off them.

[@eddiep1063]

First you make a couple small bets with someone and lose on purpose, then you bet big and kick their ass

[@RAnnarella]

How do you hustle in pool? You let someone win a few games, get their confidence up, and then get them to go another game for double or triple, and you run the table.

[@SOSA1beast]

Dude pretty freaking pls react to Dan Sperry Fool us .

[@AndreCorreia999]

Great video. Loved the trick at the start. Im gonna go out and perform it tonight on the street.

[@bennewmanpt2487]

Nice vid I think you should do like tutorials on some stuff so it's different

[@nguyenthuongthuong]

so many classic pass LoL, the last slam was pretty impact. I have never done it that method.

[@amitkr3205]

Why don't you do some magic in streets with peoples.

[@Gorgathor]

+Eduard Todor Here's a hint. He spends a lot of time "chalking" the cue before he stabs through the cards. ;-)

[@mavericksdcuo2409]

can you start doing tutorials maybe? your intro magic is really cool

[@pm71241]

Eduard ... there's one question, I have. I've kind of accepted that I can get fooled again and again. Even if I can reason to what the method would need to involve it seems just impossible that anyone can do that. But some times I notice things ... like in the trick you started with. "Is any of these 4 cards your card?" .... and you only show 3 of them. I think the 10 of clubs even showed for a brief moment before you did it. So the question is: If someone pauses you after the "Is any of these 4 cards your card?" and say: "Oh.. I didn't pay attention, let me see them again". How on earth do you avoid these moments where the viewer doesn't behave like he/she is supposed to? ... and even worse. Don't you constantly risk revealing the method in such a situation? I mean ... even the best trick, with the most clever method. Doing a crucial error while performing it on national TV would not just ruin it for that performance, but forever. I mean... some things you just can't work around with multiple outs.

[@anime_cyko]

Im no magician but I've heard from others moments like that are hard to avoid so you really have control the flow of the routine.

[@chrystaltfishingsurfcaster9733]

Hey you must teach me that magic piece I must do it it's so funny I injoy it to so I hope you can help me out on this one

[@sodalines]

i love your videos bro. plus you have a pretty wild name.

Go to penn and teller Eduard!!!! you got this

[@brandondornellas3680]

dammm my dude ur growing pretty fast,keep it up!

[@steve-ol7ee]

Thank you so much for listening to us I was one of those who asked for chef anton but i meant his act in the magic castel card on forhead. It is lit. You might wanna check that out!

[@merkazoidduff7651]

The opening trick's awesome. I think that's the first trick most kids learn. I was doing it in about 3rd grade. But oh boy you flashed that 10 big time. LOL Whenever I think of pool hustling I think about losing a few games to make the other guy feel confident and when the real money's on the table then you pull out your moves and take them for all they've got. There are lots of good movies on the subject. Too, there's the bets. Regardless, that performance was really entertaining. I agree, one of the best performances ever on Fool Us and demonstrates the value of presentation. If you're interested in some cool pool bets I know Brushwood and Ferguson have a few tutorials. As for the appearing cane, those are so much fun. I was wondering if he was going to actually use it to play pool and if so that would have been crazy impressive. But it sounded like an appearing cane (they're really loud) so I just assumed he was lying about it being a $1,200 pool cue. Magicians never lie, right? Ramsay showed one on his channel a while back so I had to order one. It took a few months to arrive from China (ordered from Amazon) but it's great. Freaking dangerous though. Those pop out so fast you could easily take an eye out or break a window. And the bottom of the one I got was so sharp I cut my hand badly first first couple times I used it until I figured it out. There were no instructions at all, or even warnings. But it's crazy fun and absolutely not recommended for kids. Then there's the sticker question, why use a sticker when you can have the card signed? I think there may be a practical reason for this. Perhaps he's a great pool guy, not a very good card guy and wants an edge when it comes to getting the card so he uses it for a breather.

[@merkazoidduff7651]

And doh Eduard. Perhaps that flash was intentional. You're doing a 3rd grade trick so obviously it's not clean. Bravo my man!

[@abhisheksunkale6672]

good classic pass and good epmsey count

[@rolsyclan9145]

Listen one day you will be in penn and teller foul us I believe in you I promise i do like if think this too

[@urosmirkovic8353]

Your handling on the pass is super nice

[@SteveEchelonanon]

God damn it dude, your passes are flawless.

[@ryanturner8577]

Love the content and your tricks every video. My only advice would be to keep working on your overall articulation when talking through the trick. Mainly trying to get rid of the "uhhhs" in there. Just little bad habits. Keep it up man! Your sick!

[@CypherRH]

What cards are you using?

[@karltherock8372]

nice pass (if there was one) :D

[@chelfyn]

That smells like a svegali at the start :)

[@evgeniydeus8137]

What four cards..?

[@kendavis8046]

In America, the term "hustler" is used both as an affirmative comment, like "that dude/gal is a real hustler", Implying that they are real go-getters, working hard, etc. It's also sometimes used as a semi-pejorative, pool being an example. A pool "hustler" is typically a class-A player who underperforms until there is money on the line, at which point his/her game becomes class-A once again. But anyone who spends time in a pool hall (guilty, guilty, guilty!) has a reasonable sense of how to avoid big money bets that are against players that might be better then them. (Pretty much everyone, using me as a particular example.) But to be honest, I've dropped a small amount of cash (we're talking $5-$10, not life changing money) from time to time to be both schooled and entertained by the skill of some really fine pool players. I've actually gotten lucky and run out a table of 9-ball a couple of times, but less often than leaving my money on the table for the better player (with no regrets.) Thanks as always for the channel and content.

[@kujo734]

To hustle in pool is to barely win.

[@immanueljerom4978]

Dude! One happy news. I memorised the mneumonic stack. I found a video on KZbin which describes the stack with a story. Check that out. It will be very useful.

[@jshegg1234]

You say that you are worse than you are at pool

[@SOSA1beast]

Love your content

[@eyadissa3568]

This one was good

[@adamcboyd]

Dude, literally go watch "The Hustler" with Paul Newman. Hustling comes from billiards.

[@kelbiekelbie909]

Wow! Does that card switch (in your intro) actually happen in the spectators hands?

[@karlharren7233]

Yes, its not really a switch, its like the Last Man Standing trick. It was in the pack the whole time, but he hid it until the reveal which is a principle used in a beginner trick. If you go to Rise Magic's channel, one of their latest videos uses this principle, and they call it Last Man Standing

[@davidfoster2629]

Love the slap reveal on the opener because literally the only trick I do uses it. You would die laughing if you saw how terrible my card technique is, just a hidden card in a fan and a hilariously terrible false shuffle to get the card loaded. But I've done it for hundreds of people and no one has ever figured it out. Mad props for putting in the time to actually make your shit look good, lol.

[@aropay4495]

The slapstick trick you did was the first I ever learned to do, I might be thinking to much like a magician here but those 4 cards can be quick to spot, I have another way of doing that trick i can link to you if you like.

[@bassmasta9117]

WHAT VIDEO IS THE CLIPSHIFT TUTORIAL IN? Why do I have to ask 20 times

[@EduardTodor]

I don't do tutorials, I don't know what you're on about lmao

[@EduardTodor]

In what world is triumph called clipshift

[@kamalrushrush6754]

Your pass is so good !!

You have a new favorite act every two vids, lol. Great video man, always fun stuff, keep it up !!

[@stefonbarksdale7000]

That was such a good effect at the beginning and I would like to know the name of it. You preformed it very well and I would like to add it to my repute as well
