Stockholm - it's not a coincidence!

[@symmetri]

Brilliant, non-coincidental promotion for Stockholm - the city I'm proud to call my home.

[@FarhadDivecha]

Very impressive stats. Do something about the crappy weather and I'll be there in a flash!

[@haraldjacobblixhavnskaarn5833]

I guess it's not a trick either ;-)

[@Emberdays]

Farhad Divecha stats are quite wrong --

[@DenisLabelle]

Off topic - Happy birthday Christoffer Klemming !

[@symmetri]

Thank you, Denis Labelle!

[@senorgato70]

Mind officially blown. And I want to move to Stockholm.

[@TomStoneMagic]

Fun and impressive way to present statistics! :-)

[@TheNemke360]

I was in Stockholm, and gotta say it, one of the best Cities I've been to. I absolutely loved it

[@breitan]

I hardly ever comment on videos but "det här!". Big Bravo to this presentation. Best ever. äm a proud Stockholmer as well.

[@VilleF1N]

Take notes teachers. If this guy had teached me history, i would have payed way more attention in class.

[@jasondenys]

He ought to have teached you English too! :)

[@SebastianRasch]

Duderino89 No taught is correct.

[@A7medology]

This is just brilliant..! I have been to Stockholm, it was like another planet..! The people.. The public transportation.. The night life.. Shrimps.. All terrific..!

[@-cosmicrogue-]

Now I desperately wish to visit Stockholm. You sold me, magical Swedish card wizard.

[@DANNYonPC]

Its something in the meatballs.

[@theTartanTrickster]

Such n awesome piece of theatre. The amount of work Charlie and the team would have done is inspiring. And ALL in one shot...

[@alwaysasn]

That's it. After this video I'm feeling it. I've got the Stockholm Syndrome!

[@KimStennabbCaesar]

I hope your kidnapper looks good!

[@KimStennabbCaesar]

Didn't mean to degrade you in any way; to assume your imagined kidnapper is violent is quite naive, and therefore not confirmable by Newton's classical physics or "philosophy". / Swedish mentality/ avoiding conflicts 100% delux.

[@NicoleProduction23]

Not a coincidence that I loved it since the first time I saw it! Always have, always will! All scandinavian cities in fact!

[@samfisherXXI]

Blew my mind !! great artist, great city !!

[@ROBwithaB]

Wonderful city. Beautiful women. Fascinating history. Great food. Unique setting. The list goes on. But no mention of the weather, I notice. Perhaps because there are no negative numbers in a deck of cards....

[@kimberly-abriefongrief7777]

Utterly captivating! Well done Charlie :)

[@swedishkebab8258]

This guy needs a raise

[@DodderingOldMan]

I... want to move to Stockholm now... Will you welcome me with open arms? I... don't really have a lot to offer... I can be a streetsweeper or something? Actually, your streets are probably immaculate, I'd be too incompetent to even be picking up rubbish in your fair city.

Great shot! I really love this city.

[@tui1000]

I've been to Stockholm, beautiful place. just like he said. love the way he promotes it, now that's innovative thinking

[@vishny84]

Wow!! wonna live there! 😍

[@FlorianMartinOnGoogle]

Ca donne envie :) - Bravo Step2 Communication et Charlie Caper ! Impressive dexterity ! (from Paris)

[@tischzauberer]

Really a cool presentation with lots of informations about a great City. Best from germany, Marc Dibowski

[@barnabybeech8393]

guy needs his own show

[@kimberly-abriefongrief7777]

Barnaby Beech I completely agree with you!

[@dianadia8493]

Wonderful marketing. I would love to live in Stockholm

[@SinKimishima]

They forgot to mention the beautiful girls (or guys, whichever floats your boat)

[@kimberly-abriefongrief7777]

including this handsome magician :)

[@feraudyh]

Fantastic

[@MikeSYT2]

This is the really cool thing! Great!

[@LouieC]

Seen him take the train and water from his lap but still very impressive! I love Swedes!

[@johnPaul-qn3dg]

Right how the fukc did he do that, and does he perform outside Sweden. I will add the Viking founded my city (Dublin) I wish they were still running it. Not just Stockholm but all those slick clean Nordic cities are doing it right.

[@kimberly-abriefongrief7777]

He does perform all over the world at street performer/busker festivals :) Captivating hey?!

[@andacyavuz2190]

Amazing video!

[@Blindsushi]

You had me at the first 3 aces.

[@Earth098]

Stockholm is the most beautiful city in the world. That is certainly not a coincidence.

[@MarkosMagic]

Well done Charlie! I want to be in Stockholm soon!

[@T0rche]

Yeah... basically Stockholm is like staying at your Grandparents'... you are in a clean, peaceful environment, you are safe, loved, well fed... but it's boring as fuck and there's nothing to do. You'd much rather be at a cool friend's place... (NY, LA, Miami, Tokyo, Paris, London, Rome, Amsterdam, Rio de Janeiro, Montreal, etc.)

[@zekatl]

I agree to some extent. But answer this: What does NY/LA/Miami/Tokyo/Paris/etc all have that Stockholm doesn't have?

[@leslietita]

zekatl twerking !

[@kalebbeasley4963]

zekatl Rude people that make life interesting.

[@floofy5529]

zekatl Basically what he's saying is that being comfortable isn't fun. Sort of the bourgeoisie lifestyle living in a cramped, dirty apartment that you can experience with other people and many cultures.

[@mrgarsdemtl472]

Greetings from Montreal! ;-) Your card tricks are way better than what we have here though… yay, Stockholm! Väldigt cool!

[@thislove771]

This is an amazing promotion video, unlike most but probably the most cool and down to earth I've seen. I love Sweden, lol I don't think that's a coincidence.

[@squigglycircle]

Nice video and great tricks, but I'd say it's a stretch to say Skype was founded in Stockholm. Wiki: "Skype was founded in 2003 by Janus Friis from Denmark and Niklas Zennström from Sweden,[12] having its headquarters in Luxembourg with offices in Tallinn, Tartu, Stockholm, London, Prague,[13] and Redmond, Washington."

[@AlvenmodFoto]

Jag fick rysningar bokstavligen. Fantastiskt!!

[@hotsistersue]

If you like card tricks, or if you like fascinating facts, this video has it all!

[@roaringearth]

The Swedish word for "shark" is "haj" (pronounced "hi") More than that - we love Stockholm.

[@bonyavs]

Now I definitely love Stockholm

[@YoSoyElMasBLANCO]

I am very proud to call Stockholm my home. Somali-Sweden for life!

[@SnakeehMC]

back to 4chan

[@morbiusprime2043]

That man is a God.

[@odilfrenchconnection]

WOW. THATS AMAZING!!!

[@PatrickStaal]

But what about the weather?

[@pedram4967]

there is no perfect place in the world , I lived and studied some years in Sweden also Stockholm but unlike US they dont accept talented and elite people it is like a treat for them, but I agree they respect and protect environment , women and child. but totally I like Sweden.

[@PakiPan]

Island of Crete in Greece (southest board in Europe) is the first tourist destination of the Swedish people and... it's not a coincidence!,,,wonder why?

[@sigany]

Sorry to say that you're wrong. The Island of Crete is on #3 and that's the the statistics for the summer. For the whole year, Crete is on #8 and Greece itself is just on sixth place in the statistcs to which country the Swedes travels to.

[@PakiPan]

Anders Nylén my friend when we talk about statistics for Greece we are talking for 6 months turist period and not for a year,so for the 6 months the statistics and the tour operators in greece shows first the Creta Island

[@thomasj3421]

This is a really good advertisement. It makes you actually believe that Stockholm is a great city for someone to live in. Unfortunately for Sweden and the marketing profession we live in an era where people travel a lot and have access to information easily. Anyone who has visited Stockholm, even for a few days, can tell that the city is boring (pathetic nightlife for a capital city), highly expensive, filled with immigrants and most importantly it has bad weather (cold, wind, snow) for the majority of the year! Why do you think so many young Swedes want to leave their country? it's not a coincidence! P.S. Whole Scandinavia is similar to Sweden (you visit these places once, take photos/upload them to FB and leave. you cannot live permanently in such environments)

[@MarcusKlockare]

Anyone that judges a city based on a brief visit doesn't know what they're talking about. It's filled with immigrants because of generosity towards those that are not as well off. Because of that, Stockholm is a very multicultural city which in my opinion is a good thing. Many young Swedes leave their country because they have the possibilities to do so and want to learn more about other cultures, see other places etc. Yes it is an expensive country to live in, but the wages are higher as well. An average salary for a Swedish worker is around 4400 USD/month. There's a saying in Sweden: "There is no bad weather, only bad clothes". Sure, if you're a reptile, sunshine 365 days a year is fantastic, but as a mammal I enjoy the four seasons. I'm from Sweden, have lived 2 years in Australia and have now been living in Ecuador for 2 and a half years. During that time I've seen lots of beautiful places, gotten to know amazing people and learnt new languages. I've also learnt to appreciate my home county a lot, and will at some point go back to live in Sweden.

[@antihax91]

Gorgeous ad for a gorgeous city. Judging by the negative response from some people, Stockholm actually seems like the best place to get away from some hateful pricks!

[@dimetil77]

Great ad!

[@kareemshwani]

Amazing!

[@alanthewiz6148]

I would add that Sweden does have an impressive energy from waste infrastructure that we in UK could learn much from - it just ain't recycling!

[@yeliaeson]

Fabolous video!

[@Voix1000x]

Hey I live in Stockholm! Dont move there it's already too many people and the apartments in city is to expensive! The houses in places like Sundbyberg or Bromma is to expensive too.

[@wichiver]

wow great video I want to go Stochholm

[@andrei198821]

Wow, cool video, thanks!

[@guldgg]

WAAAAAAT WAAAAAAAAAAAAAT AMAGAWD

[@Sabiancym]

Dear Stockholm. I want to move to your beautiful city, but if I leave my house I have a good chance of being shot before making it to the airport. What should I do? Sincerely, A Chicago Native

[@JustAboutToEat]

Its a trap!, We have crappy weather and long winters where the sun barely comes up at all. Although, forgetting your laptop in a superbad neighborhood can apparently result in people asking around for the owner when returning for it. But seriously, its a pretty boring place.

[@MalazMusic]

Dirk Diggler Eeeh, not it is not. Winters are not much longer then for the rest of central Europe. The dark winters is a great contrast to the very bright summers. It is all in the perspective.

[@thesecondislander]

Hire a cab? Jokes aside, you won't be disappointed. Yes, us Swedes are masters of self-deprecation and we have a large portion of youths who think immigration is the end of the world, despite evidence to the contrary. Aside from that, you'd be hard-pressed to find a nicer place to live in if you like moderate weather (It's currently about 68-70F outside) and to feel like society is on the right track.

[@MrDaz1992]

I CAME HERE FROM THE STREAM AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@OddClancy]

SAME!!

Instantly googled this to show a friend xD

I bet they waited for one day to release this video, or it might seem like an april fool's xD

mind. blown.

[@HyperionAlpha]

I tell you what, I'm ready to move to Sweden. If everybody speaks English as well as this guy it'll be a lot easier!

Great I loved it

[@Liamnissan22222]

Ok that's it I'm moving to stockholm.

[@pontusfalk6887]

Looking out my window I see Elstocolmo. That's not a coincidence.

[@genma986]

Stockholm is a nice play to live, just a bit boring.

[@shadowflower93]

Dang it, if this was Denmark I could make a joke about how creepy their crime dramas are...buuuut it's not. That's not a coincidence.

[@JoakimLarsson570]

The Bridge, TGWDT, Wallander.. Sweden make the best crime series.

[@shadowflower93]

Those are good ones. I was thinking of The Killing, but since then I have found more of Sweden's crime series. They're all good.

[@necroleak]

Too good to be true.

[@neontime8507]

Awesome video

[@BradleyRubin]

Everything in Stockholm is free! You don't have to pay for anything! It's MAAAAAGIC!

[@kribbabrightside5665]

I love Sthlm! My city my roots!

[@Sundoze_com]

great promo, great city!

[@Krabbo7]

Stockholm must be the city with the most increasing beggars aswell by far, feels like they double everytime i pass stockholm on my way to school.

[@philipskarp6031]

All major cities within the European Union have had a massive increase of beggars from the moment Romania was allowed to enter the union.

[@MrPepsonite]

OMG THAT WAS AWESOME!

[@magiccouponsREAL]

Looks worth a visit at least!

[@aggebagge0323]

göteborg e goare!

[@labianM]

I would actually choose some change in weather, as it is in Stockholm, before constantly having sun and 40°C heat all year round. But that's just me!

[@Aikisbest]

Things like this always make me sad about the rest of the world, so much shit is happening in Sweden the last couple years and still the best quality.

[@baracdj]

Very nice

[@gustavlp]

The lisssssssp is real! Holy shit...

[@ozkel120]

HAHHAHAAHA

[@Sammie1053]

Thtockholm

[@alanthewiz6148]

Burning waste to recover energy does not count as recycling. To say it does both undermines efforts to improve material recycling which maximises the value gained from waste materials and is contrary to European law. Any official advert should know this. C'mon Sweden you know better than that!

[@johnw65uk]

Looks a great place to live but shame the weather isnt too good. 50 odd sunny days a year, i`ll stick with my 300 days , so what if I die two years early. I`ll have a good few thousand sunny days more to enjoy it all :-)

[@billahjett1345]

I love the idea that he might of just bullshitted his way through the video, "if you have kids you get... *he reads the cards* ...480 days"

[@yeliaeson]

I love Stockholm!

[@osychenko]

Despite all the pros of Stockholm, there's a strong competition in what's the best place for living. For instance, in my opinion Barcelona is much better if you have a minimally decent job.

[@adrianamartisca5130]

Nice! Now I want to visit Stockholm! ;))

[@prince11338]

"Stockholm - The Capital of Scandinavia" as declared by... Themselves.

[@zekatl]

Angry norwegian or dane perhaps? Well how'd you like to define a unofficial capitol? Highest population? Largest GDP? Most HQ of international companies? Either way, Stockholms wins.

[@Emberdays]

zekatl well its easier and now cheaper to rent in Oslo or Kph and you get a higher pay!

[@Paulrebul]

Sweden is so wonderful they need to beg for more people to become Sweds. Looks like their slowly drowning in that wonderful crystal clear river.

[@Zippy1979uk]

Are you a wizard?

[@phoenixsplash135]

[@swmper]

0:58 - 1:01 his hand goes under the table for a cup of water -_-

[@ScarletWitchJakarta]

The reason Sweden is doing so well is due to its high economic freedom. Its ranked the 20th most free, out of 178: www.lewrockwell.com/2014/01/russia-today/top-10-countries-for-economic-freedom/
