RYAN HAYASHI - Episode 17: The Psychological Damage Magic Series - Stage Sponge Ball Routine

Ryan Hayashi, The Self-Proclaimed Elon Musk of Magic, Success Coach and Motivational Speaker, performs his Ultimate Ball Routine at the Habitude Warrior Conference in Washington, D.C. on October 25, 2018. Magicians will recognize this routine as a combination of stupid finger tricks, the Ten Count, the sponge balls, and the classic Benson Bowl routine, with Ryan Hayashi's style all over it. Ryan is the 2017 F.I.S.M. European Champion of Magic and is descended from an ancient bloodline of semi-immortals.

He's not just a magician. He's a comedian as well. All in all a great entertainer!!!

[@SKRUBL0RD]

Love the fingers act. It may seem dorky and for kids or whatever but it seems an actually good way for someone to introduce themselves to sleight of hand.

Always amazing to watch you perform...greetings from Ghana 👍

Yay, I am not the only Ghanaian following Ryan and watching all his videos!!!! More love from Ghana, Ryan!

You are the ultimate magician

Great job brother

[@chicodecoster]

That was a fun routine to watch! Thanks for sharing.

I was expecting a bigger ball at the end, that square sure fooled me. Your humor is a great start of the evening after a day at work. Keep it up.

[@happalula]

simply amazing!

[@Ryan_Hayashi]

Thanks. Even old classics can be entertaining.

[@longphan4691]

Never have thought that the finger routine thingy could be that entertaining. I'll try to learn this haha

[@Ryan_Hayashi]

You'll try to learn this? Please don't. Instead of copying other people's material, try developing your own. Besides, something as simple as The Finger Dance still takes practise, personality and stage presence to make it entertaining. Try to figure out who you are and build your own material around that.

[@longphan4691]

@@Ryan_Hayashi Thank you for your advice. By no mean I'd copy your routine 1:1 and bring it to the stage. I'm not a magician, neither any kind of sleight of hands artists.I'm just a layman enjoy watching performances and sometimes I try to learn a couple of things that I've seen, to challenge myself and...for fun, just simple as it is.

Really amazing routine of spongeball Very nice and fully modify presentation sir.

[@MagicalPiano]

the finger thing at the beginning is soooo good. Awesome and hilarious. Especially with your mimic and the music fits also perfect. Tryed it immediately, but also not easy to coordinate the finger movements :D But I think I will learn it for the enjoyment!

[@persononinternet7868]

Holy shit the second place was super smooth.

[@Ryan_Hayashi]

Thanks. I practise a lot.

[@anen5188]

Bro this was legit funny , specially the finger dance or what should we call it the Spock sign language dance , it cracked a legit laughter out of me , but that soft ball magic was washed up it's been done too many time , i still love the act awesome ,just suggestion try not to fool just the audience but" try to fool your self too " I wanna see some one do that . And. I believe you might achive it who knows ,now that would be the act I would pay 10x more time to see

[@Ryan_Hayashi]

Thanks. Glad you find the finger dance funny. I have some super difficult routines in my show, and the finger dance is one of the favorite things people talk about for some reason. And yes, I think you're right. This routine is so dorky anyway, that I could build in moments of being surprised by the magic, like Yann Frisch in his ball act, but only one or two short moments because I wouldn't want to overuse this.

[@anen5188]

@@Ryan_Hayashi Big fan ,you r awesome 🤗

[@gabrielprezottolopes268]

Making with the music was a great ideia, just found a music dat fit your show!

[@oroszgabo]

The trick with Your fingers was meant to be on Fool us! It was so fast, sooo confusing, I don't even start to learn it...

[@Ryan_Hayashi]

Thanks. Glad you like it. The Finger Dance is one of my trademark routines. People seem to like it because of the absurdity of it.

Daily Dose of Ryan Hayashi.

[@dobster4572]

I watched it in 1/2 speed, to figure out what he did in the first few minutes.. unexplainable!

[@rbadvani54]

There are 4 sponge balls, Not 3. The fourth ball is in the bowl. Now see it again
