My Favorite Trick

Susie Films is proud to present Charlotte magician/comedian Chris Hannibal performing what he calls, "My Favorite Trick."

[@brianaple]

The real magic is turning 10 seconds of sleight of hand and 5 seconds of a standard force into 8 minuets of entertainment. A true professional entertainer.

[@alcapone531]

Yeah, the "magic" stuff everyone knows that is illusionism, a trick, somehow the "magician" manage to fool everyone, but mix it with a true comedian talent and the magic really happen.

[@Scorch428]

Just takes practice. Imo, Ive always been more impressed by sleight of hand than magic. Anyone can do magic, you just need to know the trick. It takes skill and practice to pull off well done sleight of hand. And theres always that risk something will go wrong :P

[@ricktyman4709]

The girls aren't plants - they're real people from the audience, notice how their hands quiver out of nervousness of being on stage. The real trick happens when he has them count the cards in his hand - he then palms 3 cards on the first girls deck and hands it over to her and asks her to hide it. He does the same with the second girl, only this time removing 3 cards before he hands it back for her to hide. Lastly, the guy in the middle is asked to pick a seemingly random card, but he's really fanning the deck in a way that pushes the 3 card into his hand. As the guy reaches deeper into the deck, he pulls away and distracts him with small talk. The second attempt is intentionally made to look like a mistake - it's meant to put pressure on the guy to just quickly pick a card - and when he fans the card the third time, the guy takes the card being pushed towards him subconsciously not realizing that he's just trying to remove the spotlight from himself. Great magician - it uses psychology and sleight of hand to create pressure on the audience member.

[@ieatgrass6984]

dude, he just gets 7 and 13 cards right at the beginning, tossing the original 10 from each person and hands em their respective cards from his pocket with his other hand 2:11. The only thing he needed was a 3 pulled from an audience member, which he got.

[@Phoenix_1991]

@@ieatgrass6984 No. Rick is right. If you pause the video at the exact time. You can see he adds 3 cards to one girls pile. And the second time you can see he creates 2 piles off of the second girls pile (one of 7 on top and one of 3 at the bottom). Then he gives her the top 7 and removes the bottom 3. And like he also said he kinda forces the guy to pick the number 3. At 2:11 if you look closely at his right hand you can see he has a pile of cards that he puts on top. You can't see what he does with the second girl because the camera doesn't show it.

[@persianbird9]

@@Phoenix_1991 at 3:22 you can see he separates the 7 cards from the bottom 3. Hands over the 7 cards to Farah and puts the deck on top of the 3 in his hand to cover them.

[@dsharkyo]

"Stand as close to me as I am to you" oh my god i died

[@animistchannel2983]

Great version of -- I think it's called "Cards Across," another classic where the main point is now the performance. Chris has a lot of potential branching dialogue/jokes in this patter, and he follows it smoothly from step to step. I've seen this done seriously/mystically, I've seen it done with cheese slices for sheer schtick, but I have to say I like this "just naughty enough to play anywhere" the best so far. He gives it that nudge-nudge wink-wink treatment that makes it a little vaudeville for the grownups without tipping over into crass. That's a fine line to script for.

[@KnugLidi]

All 'magic' acts are about the performance. Many performers choose a persona like this one. Some the dramatic wizard, who rarely speaks or doesn't speak at all, some the clumsy clown. The trick is all about misdirection, timing, and pleasing the audience. They are there to be entertained. There could be 2 hours of performance and just 3 tricks, but if they spent 110 minutes and laughing and 10 minutes silently and intently watching, they'll never feel disappointed. A magician who walks on stage, does this trick in 2 mins and walks off is a very poor performer.

Three separate parts to the trick: 1. Bring 3 palmed cards in his right hand and add them to the ten counted out by Meghan (2:11) 2. Cut 3 cards from the ten counted out by Farah and palm them behind with his left hand (3:21-3:23) 3. Manipulate the cards so that Barret gets a 3. The rest of the patter puts these together. Meghan counted out ten cards and Mr. Hannibal added three more, so she put away 13. Farah counted out ten cards and he took away 3, so she put away 7. I suspect the hardest part is getting Barret to choose a 3. Great illusion, well-done presentation.

At around 2:00 after she counts them into his hand, he distracts her and the audience by talking about her ratings and then smoothly adds 3 cards to her 10 stack making it 13. Then when he gives them back to her to put away she doesn’t count them again, she just assumes her stack feels like 10 still. Then when the guy is drawing a card to determine the number of cards switched, he fails at directing the right card to him, so uses humor to get him to draw again for the desired result of a 3 being drawn.

I caught all that, but how about the force to get the guy to pick a three?

[@goprodog4304]

Less than nine minutes but it feels like an hour of enjoyment. I recommend you to all my friends.

His wit and charm sold this for me. His stage control and audience interaction is outstanding

"That's why I'm here without a date" might be one of the funniest jokes ive ever heard from a magician oh my god, actually wheezing

That def was the smoothest of the 3. I recommend everyone learns a 1 handed cut. Its super easy and you can teach yourself in 5 mins. might wanna use your non dominate hand

[@Scorch428]

For some reason, its either to use your left hand if youre a righty.

This got me laughing definitely looking into this dudes stuff

[@OfficialMaddeck]

so he knows how much each of them have and just makes the guy pick the exact card that he needs.

[@YHLGguitargeek]

Yup.

[@liamparas4600]

The amount of charisma radiating off this mans is overwhelming

[@blaekman]

This guy is freaking awesome. I would drive to NC just to watch him.

[@trigbl]

Beginning at 4:19 he goes thru three "offers" for the guy to select the card. Nice handling of missed ClassicF attempts

[@rvs55]

Nice. At 2:11 he had some cards in his right hand. Added 3 to the stack of 10 that Megan counted, while the crowd was distracted and laughing, while Megan passed the pack to Farah. At 3:22 notice his left hand, he separated Farah's 10 cards into 2 groups, 3 cards removed from the ten, then took the upper group of 7 to hand it to Farah. So it was all already set up from the start. He gave the guy the 3 card.

[@Winnipeg_Jets_Fan]

I see exactly what you are explaining. Question is, how does he make the guy choose 3.

[@rvs55]

@@Winnipeg_Jets_Fan He tried to feed the guy the 3 card, thrice. First two time he pulled the pack away, then pretended that they guy didn't take it. On the 3rd try, the guy simply took whatever card he was pushing ahead of the pack, because, well... he was sorta embarassed about missing the first two times. That was the 3 card all set up for him to take.

[@MauriceGucci]

When he asked wether or not they want the trick to be done by magic or sleight of hand it's funny, because he actually does it by sleight of hand.

[@felix-dk9tr]

As opposed to what, magic?

[@hebopavlos]

And not the best kind I might add, but still entertaining.

[@fuhckme8845]

What’s slight of hand?

[@MauriceGucci]

Fuh Ck Me magic

[@lyravain6304]

@@fuhckme8845 Sleight of Hand, when you use your hands to make tricks that appear to be magical. As opposed to crafting tools that let you do tricks that appear magical. As an example comparison; The magician that swaps arounds cards or can guess which card was where is using sleight of hand. The magician that uses specially designed 'swords' to make it look like they cut someone up is using tools. Both are equally entertaining and the best magicians use both.

I’ve never seen cards across done that way! Beautiful!

3:22 You can see where he counts the 10, then uses his finger to peel off 3.

[@AlleeCatBlues]

2:11 You can also see him add 3 from his pocket. Probably uses the earring comment to distract her from looking too closely

[@garychap8384]

This just goes to show you... even the most basic trick, in the hands of a skilled entertainer, becomes a joy. You can watch this act, spot exactly what he's doing all the way through... and just not care XD I don't know about my favourite trick. But Chris just made my favourite magician list!
