I've seen each part of this routine so many times, yet it's still absolutely mesmerizing

[@HannibalSpeaks]

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@SilentHotdog28]

@@HannibalSpeaks You're awesome, I love how it's different each time, but the same, the same but different. I've watched from various angles, slowed it down, watched different videos and what not, but still can't work out how you do it, but I don't want someone to tell me how you do it, because that would ruin it, I want to know but I don't. I love it.

[@nerdyengineer7943]

@@HannibalSpeaks I actually did see you put the apple under the cup!! (on youtube) And that last orange was completely unexpected!

[@ThiemenDoppenberg]

I think it is nice how you engage with the audience and guide them through your routine. Letting them think they know the trick, until they are perplexed seeing the fruits appear. Nice performance

[@HannibalSpeaks]

Thank you. It's all about the audience.

[@Mark-fd3mg]

The explanation is both entertainment and misdirection. Brilliantly done.

[@SchneiderBernd90]

You don't know how happy I am to see the same old 2nd oldest trick in the book again. Every time your performance gives me a smile on my face. Please keep doing it forever. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@HannibalSpeaks]

Forever. It's part of my history.

[@joshuachesney7552]

Been following this channel for years hoping to see this guy back on the stage. Bravo!

[@HannibalSpeaks]

Thank you!

[@englebertmagentaschweiger1447]

This routine never gets old. You're a legend!

[@HannibalSpeaks]

Thank you!

[@flyingo]

Between Hanibal and Ricky Jay (and probably 20 or 30 others), Hanibal’s banter gets me every time.

[@tylerbury4668]

Knowing how he does this makes it all that much more impressive and for me makes me enjoy it even more

[@lordkandar]

I've watched this performance a number of times and it never ceases to amaze me. I know how the trick is done and it still blows me away every time.

[@stenoch]

America's Got Talent needs you bad! You are the most fun and entertaining magician to come down the pike in a very long time.

[@HannibalSpeaks]

I've never made it past the initial auditions.

[@stenoch]

@@HannibalSpeaks Shame. Their loss, my friend.

[@saveyorsephiroth]

He is so masterful. He makes you believe in magic.

[@multiverserift]

I did watch the old one with the fußballs for so many times, and I will watch this one so many times more. Great routine, great storytelling, great charisma. Well done!

[@HannibalSpeaks]

Thank you!

[@PelemusMcSoy]

No matter how many times I see this trick, it still blows my mind.

[@HannibalSpeaks]

Sometimes it blows my mind, too.

[@Rystefn]

Every time I see this, it always gets a laugh. So smooth, such great presentation.

[@ManuelDornbusch]

Your routine of the cups has been my favorite for years. Can't stop watching it. Love it.

[@HannibalSpeaks]

I appreciate that!

[@andreidima1576]

I wish I could go back to when I couldn't see the apple going in. Times were simpler back then, and arguably more enjoyable. Also, the apple used to be an orange. It's always cool seeing this show, I hope to see it live one day!

[@HannibalSpeaks]

I look forward to that!

[@khabaled]

LOL, I have been watching you for so long I inadvertently memorized your patter... Inadvertently means to do something accidently, without intention :D

[@famulu3794]

Yes but your condescension was obviously not incidental.

[@HannibalSpeaks]

HA!

[@Zabara182]

i've seen you doing this so many times in so many places in your videos, and yet they blow my mind every single time. i love your magic.

[@HannibalSpeaks]

Thank you!

[@martinleithe8251]

I’ve watched this routine by different people and many times. I still miss when you put certain things in the cup, the only one I picked up from the First run was the Apple, but I don’t think from the audience it would be easy to see that. The lemon and Orange you did so smooth I did not expect anything other than a ball or nothing. I did notice you checked the one cup with the lemon in it, that was a smooth way to check if you remembered to put the lemon there before moving on, if it was empty you would have to improvise something to get the lemon under there. Love to Watch this even when you know how it’s done. Hannibal is good at entertaining and talking it through. Very very good!!

[@PSPDDH]

For the first time I saw when you hid the orange and apple Your timing is fenomenal

[@Reruro]

I could watch you do this 50,000 times, even the joke bit about watching you do it 50,000 times, and I'd still be impressed.

[@HannibalSpeaks]

I've seen it so many times, but I love doing it so much. Thank you

[@Kukakkau]

I was just thinking about this dude after watching a video where people were talking about how good it is when magicians explain the trick/method, but still mystify you in the process. Good show.

[@HannibalSpeaks]

Thanks!

[@Astro_Guy_1]

You are really amazing! I have watched atleast 4 of your cups videos, and every time I am entertained. Even if I know what would happen. Your act is really magnetic! and even though by now I basically know 80% of the movements/tricks you do in that act, I still find myself missing it on the first watch.

[@bl133ard]

I love getting fooled by the sleight of hand in your performances

[@Just_Joshin_U]

Just the pure skill is amazing how you can tell someone how its done and still pull it off!!! you are a master of your trade! Love it!!!

[@HannibalSpeaks]

Practice, practice ... I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@anthonyhargis6855]

Hannibal, I'm pushing 70. I've seen that many times, but you, my friend, do it better than anyone I have ever seen before. Awesome!

[@HannibalSpeaks]

That is a massive accolade, thank you!

[@anthonyhargis6855]

@@HannibalSpeaks Love the videos. Keep them coming.

[@BeatdownRevival]

100% Excellent!!!

[@ColinUnderwood]

Love the two C routine. N the vent voice !

[@lorddaro7771]

My personal favorite are the Teleporting Cards, but the Cups are a close second.

[@HannibalSpeaks]

I'll have to post the new version soon.

[@GNINNIWTON]

I came to rewatch one of your old performances and was delighted to watch a new one instead! I hope to be this good at something one day.

[@HannibalSpeaks]

Someday you will surpass even your own best goals.

[@jokdaris]

I have seen this trick and still you got me :D Thanks!

[@cartoonpower0]

Always nice to see this routine

[@chrismorgan2515]

Always a treat!

[@danjason2167]

I have seen you do this now, probably 30-40 times. And know how every part is done, but I still love it. My favourite part is the " while I may lie, I will not cheat ,and you can believe that because that's true." I hope you're doing well, Hanibal

[@HannibalSpeaks]

I'm doing well, thank you. Really glad you're enjoying my offerings. :)

[@ezequiel_reis]

Such a good and fun routine 😃

[@tb3999]

I’ve watched this routine for years and it continues to entertain me each and every time. Well done, so thrilled you’re healed and back on the road!

[@HannibalSpeaks]

I'm very glad you enjoyed it. The road rolls on ...

Wonderful Hannibal, glad you're back

[@doobybrother21]

It's magic !

[@gmhelwig]

I never get tired of watching you do this routine.

[@HannibalSpeaks]

I never get tired of performing it!

[@Daniel95metal]

Hannibal you absolute legend!!!

[@Nderak]

this is amazing

[@MegaLokopo]

This will never get old. Keep up the good work.

[@HannibalSpeaks]

I shall!

[@MegaLokopo]

@@HannibalSpeaks I have watched maybe 10 different variations of you doing this trick, and it only ever gets better and better.

[@schillinggabor635]

Even so I know how it is done, and what happens and when... The whole show, the presentation... I just simply love it. Always a pleasure to see all your videos. I hope I will be able to see it IRL one day. 🙂

[@HannibalSpeaks]

I hope so too.

[@MrHaig89]

👏👏👏 brilliant

[@Zanardelli]

AMAZING

[@ZeidGho]

I'm glad you decided to film it.. The quality of the video and the sound this time is perfect. And its very fun to watch always

[@HannibalSpeaks]

Had a pro on the camera!

[@ZeidGho]

@@HannibalSpeaks is that pro your daughter?

[@HannibalSpeaks]

@@ZeidGho No - an actual professional.

[@LuciMorgonstjaerna]

Even though I know what you're doing, I can't see it. That's some excellent sleight of hand, good sir!

[@HannibalSpeaks]

Thank you!

[@Jaa_morant]

Love these performances! Do U have any more in the archive?

[@HannibalSpeaks]

Some. I hope to put out more in the near future.

[@black_phillipe]

Hope to see you live someday, king! Any chances of adding Canada to your schedule?

[@HannibalSpeaks]

It's on my short list of places I'd like to play.

[@martinaakervik]

🪄👏👏👏 Cool pose in the end :)

[@HannibalSpeaks]

Thank you!

[@martinaakervik]

@@HannibalSpeaks I like your act and the end had also a cool pose. Hope you understood that ...and not think I said "only the cool pose in the end was giving me something" because the hole act did.

[@sirvypergaming]

So good... the trick itself is a classic but the delivery is just awesome. I'd love to see it live someday.

[@HannibalSpeaks]

Someday I hope you get to.
