In my first escape room that I ever did, there was a quote on quote very delicate puzzle box inside and could only open one way. The first thing I did was go to the box and I spun it and it opened and everyone just stared at me...

[@princereptar8204]

Same👌👌👌

[@OmegaNovious]

Really like the reverse-engineered schematic method. It ties together what you are thinking and what you are doing more easily for me to understand than just verbally explaining it alone. Sometimes it just looks like you are randomly making "moves" in hope of something happening but the schematic makes those "moves" appear more intentional and practical.

No you didn't, you saw a popular comment so you copied it because you have little to no self esteem and you need the thumbs up to help fulfill your pathetic life.

palmed the 7 with left hand before putting down the deck. simple.

[@charlessokolowski5809]

Quontium97 just released it from the palm when he flicked the deck. Just looked like it came from inside. When in reality it was behind the box.

[@RuggedBubbles]

I really liked how you made the schematics while you were going along with the puzzle. Gives a ton of insight for what is going on, especially on these types of puzzles where as a viewer, we can't really tell. Thanks for striving to keep everyone involved! Play on playa!

The Sleight of hand and the misdirection in that intro trick is absoultely flawless, the way my mind is wired allows me to see through most of those things, so the magic itself is spoiled for me, but it gives me a deeper appreciation for the subtle and fine art of sleight of hand and misdirection.

[@AlvarezPT]

“You don’t have to tell me how it’s done” that cracked me up

[@YUNGRIZZO713]

the intro trick was done by sending the card thru a parallel universe and bring it back thru a mini reverse blackhole in the his other hand you cant trick me!

[@zacheymczachface]

I like how these puzzles are really awakening what seems to be a legit interest in the mechanics of design. I know you've always been into how they get made but this is the first time I've seen you kinda nerd out about puzzle design.

[@Tombr4mb4]

Even when I get bored in the video, I can't stop watching.

[@valeckseimu3132]

0:15 while he's pushing the card back in the deck he "grab it" (it s a really hard tecnique used in most card trick) under the deck with the other hand (go frame by frame) u can see at 0:17 his left hand still flexed. Then he distract you pushin the empty cardbox away , and when he shake it, he just releasing the card in his left hand palm. VERY WELL EXECUTED

[@rraftapapirpp]

U're feeling better now by telling everyone that you know, how a DPS works?

[@alexthomas7529]

But how'd he push the box

[@SpydersByte]

yes we all know he palmed the card -_- did you not listen to the part immediately afterward asking to not explain his own trick to him?

[@atherlyman]

The real trick is getting you people to listen to him. He literally said that he didn't need an explanation in the comments.

[@jwagsftw]

The schematic drawing really helped explain what you were thinking. Great idea!

[@averyallen283]

Love your intros... keep doing what you’re doing!

[@HofsFinest]

One of my favorite all time puzzles. The set screw was getting tight because the access hole on the side of the box for the Allen key isnt threaded and smaller than the set screw to prevent you from being able to remove it from the exterior of the box.

[@dwogaming5462]

I saw the into, watched it once and knew how it's done, but I FRIGGIN' LOVE THE EFFECT!!!!! This is why i love magic, it's because even if you know how it's done, it's still awesome and amazing everytime you see it in action. Love your videos, Chris, greetings from Indonesia :D now back to watching the whole video and giving it a L I K E.

[@AbuMaia01]

Yeah, I can see how the trick is done, but what I'm focused on is how he moved the box. The only thing I can think of is someone just off-camera blowing on it at the signal.

[@mortimus27]

Yes!! But that moving on its own is what I still want to find out!! Awesome job Chris!!

[@alexnelson09]

Honestly both simple and brilliant at the same time. Very gratifying as you can logic your way through and see how it all works once you get it open!

[@akarevenge8586]

"HOTDANG! and ANOTHA ONE!" Looks like the HOTDANG is evolving! This pleases me.

what was cool about that opening trick is not the slight of hand that he and everyone else whos into magic knows how the trick is done its the magic of the boxing getting to his other hand without him pushing it over and sliding to his other hand with his hands amazing magic trick Chris you are a true wizard my man!!!!

I wanna see you try and solve a rubiks cube. That's a puzzle I wanna see!

[@powerpug964]

To put it short: I don't want to see him try that. To put long: People dont solve a rubik's cubes using intelligence or puzzle solving skills. Instead they memorise algorithms, literally anyone who can solve a rubik's cube just memorises algorithms. That's what I did to learn how to solve a rubik's cube. I watched tutorials on KZbin and learnt all the algorithms. I did that and many other people in my school did that when I was like 9, it's really not hard, it just takes dedication. If Chris attempted it without algorithms and going in blind it would come down to sheer look. There are 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 positions on a rubik's cube, and the chances of you putting in the correct inputs are tiny. Any position can be solved in 20 moves or less, but if hes going in blind and guessing it will take him years. I really wouldn't want to see him try a rubik's cube as it would just be a 30 minute video of him not really doing anything but turn pieces randomly and getting frustrated as he repeatedly fails. (However to be fair I did watch all the excalibur videos) Even if he did learn the algorithms I still dont think it would be a good video. The only decent part of the video would be the epic intro.

[@rraftapapirpp]

Watch a video of Steven Brundage

[@TheZotmeister]

Many of these puzzle boxes can be opened with sufficient fiddling. That didn't happen here, at least not entirely. By drawing a schematic, no one can say you got lucky and stumbled into a solution: you proactively *solved* this. That was awesome, and you should _totally_ do that more often.

Love the intro Chris, and as a fellow magician who’s loved card tricks since he was like 7 and started practicing at a young age and has like a basic knowledge of all kinds of techniques, that my friends is a good trick to show off to like friends, family or basically anyone and pretty easy one to pull off. I won’t tell how he did it but it does take practice and study the intro as many times as you want and you’ll see how he pulled it off. Good luck 👍
