[@user-zn1rc9gq7y]

Yeah it seems funny that I'm tearing up and he's not haha.

[@BeatHuntaAl]

Movies, music, art, magic, novels (to a lesser extent)... Once you know the trick, the magic is gone. You also no longer consume the content. You analyze it. That's the reason why he's not even tearing up a little bit, even though they obviously tried their best to get exactly that emotion from him.

First trailer of yours that actually got me crying, wow. I don't even watch Zach's videos but his story seems so inspirational. Cheers and see you at 5 mil

[@Hypno_Daddy]

I think I speak for everyone watching, that this is just the beginning of you guys' journey into probably some of the best content creators on YT. The videos are such a breath of fresh air compared to the typical viral videos or just compilations and reaction videos. You managed to make "reaction videos" unique and special. Giving not only the YT audience actual deep original content but also having the person, that this content is such an emotional trip for, react to it, while showing the viewers how you somehow managed to pull it off. I rarely watch through an entire 30 min video because some moments just sometimes are bound to be boring or filler, but this, this is captivating and (as someone that just like Zach got amazed by magic and movie making in my childhood) this is taking me right back to how excited I was when my parents bought me my first magic kit or when I first watched Behind the Scenes clips from big movies. Being able to peek behind the curtains and just finding out about what makes something seemingly small and short such a breathtaking experience. Thank you for that. This video made my day.

[@TreviaFilmProductions]

I love how Sticks' short films are short films, but their behind-the-scenes videos are so well crafted that they are too!

[@JdogGaming2010]

Same. It is amazing how well they do it.
