One of my favorite parts of Fool Us is seeing the sparkle in Penn and Teller's eyes when they genuinely get fooled and get to for a brief moment experience magic.

[@castleanthrax1833]

When you can "fool" guys like them, when they're actively looking, and know what to look for, you know he's very very good.

[@jarirepo1172]

They knew they would not know what happened and they thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@d.menace9256]

It's all for TV 😂

[@castleanthrax1833]

@@d.menace9256 Of course its all for TV. It's a TV show. Doesn't mean their reactions aren't genuine.

[@szolanek]

They were fooled by the second 7s, I guess.

[@HuslWusl]

8:55 The sheer audacity and confidence of Dani to pull off something like that right in front of two world class magicians when one of them has the box sitting right in his line of sight is stunning!

[@9justgaming]

Pretty sure they caught that one little bit . Even the follow up card in the box. But he was genuinely impressive and they didn’t care bc he fooled them in other aspects

[@Dannerrrr]

oh teller definitely saw that part, but that's not the trick.

[@darksaga80]

Similar to when Daniel Madison was on and revealed he performed his magic in a way that would be obvious to see from their perspective. He said he knew he would get more exposure by them "outing" him if you will then by fooling them I feel Dani may have been doing something similar here.

[@darksaga80]

@TheSportsGuru Well yeah. Dude is a grandmaster, doesn't mean guys on his level won't give others a peak by doing stuff on purpose so you catch some of it and think then you got the trick, but it's not it, it's just what he wanted you to see. Which is what Chris is saying in some of his commentary. Dani is several levels above everybody and his techniques are unapproachable by most magicians, let alone non-magic types.

[@markedly1013]

It is hard to believe.

[@DaniMarko]

Something that is amazing about Dani is how humble and kind he is. He will sit down and teach you anything you ask, if you are willing to learn. And best of all, he will still fool you. The man is a gem and we Spaniards are lucky to have him.

[@rondyreeves4772]

Sorry Spaniard, but we Americans are kidnapping him. He shall be our Greatest Card Magician now. Do not try to resist us.

[@quinnlollis7211]

The whole wide world thanks exactly the same thing!! At least in my world!

[@sfdntk]

The best thing about this performance is that it wasn't even supposed to happen. Bear in mind that Dani is not a public performer, his entire career now is teaching other magicians; he doesn't appear on TV, he doesn't do live shows - he's an educator. So Dani didn't apply to be on Fool Us, he was just there that day to support a friend who was due to perform. Mike Close saw him and knew who he was and, according to Penn, practically begged Dani to perform something for the cameras. Dani agreed, and that lead to the clip we're all watching right now. Consider for a moment how truly insane this is. The best performance that has ever been shown on Fool Us was a totally impromptu trick from someone who wasn't even supposed to be there, and it nevertheless blew the roof off the theatre and left both Penn and Teller utterly speechless (or in Teller's case, involuntarily speechless.) Dani is hands down the greatest card magician who ever lived!

[@justmusic2353]

Wow thanks for sharing this information. What a Beast Dani is. Can I ask where you got this from?

[@optioncoachjohn]

Thanks for that insight, it made the performance even more appreciative. 😊

[@sfdntk]

@@justmusic2353 I heard it from a friend who works on the show, and Penn mentions it in a recent episode of Sunday School, although I don't recall exactly which one.

[@premkhumar]

Oh Wow.... This is Brilliance then! But what is the authenticity of this info?

[@sfdntk]

@@premkhumar As per my previous comment, I first heard it from a friend who works on the show, and Penn himself says as much in a recent episode of his podcast, Sunday School.

[@anthonyisensee]

My favorite part is seeing Teller so blown away that he breaks his stage presence and starts laughing out loud at 11:02. You can even see him catch himself afterwards. 😂

[@kirillparhomenko6166]

I watched the performance on another video and can't see Teller's reaction. What's up with that?

[@wyattalexander4041]

Wow Your so right !!!! Haha

[@angelikagiam]

It's not his laughter. It's just a perfect synchronization with Danis laughter! Watch again until 11:10

[@robertwadas]

Its funny because he just stops talking during shows... but otherwise he talks all the time ! ...lol

[@JackPelaFox]

I don't think that was his laugh but it did seem like that. He actually... Fooled us! 😂

[@SinVerba]

"The illusion of free choice intermingled with real free choice" - Wow. That is an excellent description of Dani's magic.

[@MagicPeaceLove]

Appreciate the discussion. I can also confirm Dani was on the Fool Us set helping another magician when the producers begged him to come on and do *something.* This performance is absolutely an example of a very high level of mastery disguised as random chaos (sort of a "Drunken Master" style). It's true it was mostly "impromptu" in the sense he didn't know what he would do leading up to the ending, though he knew he would end with The Ritual. But of course, being a master magician Dani can just "wing it" the way a great jazz musician "wings it" when he jams. I saw Dani do something similar a few years back with 5 borrowed decks at a magic convention; that time, he destroyed a room full of some of the most elite card magicians on earth. For me, one of the many pleasures of this clip is watching Alyson -- who has seen a LOT of magic over the last 10 years -- also be completely enchanted and gobsmacked by Dani.

[@rondyreeves4772]

I like how he uses his “poor English” as part of his act with them; I’m no magician but it seems to me that he was using that as a bit of misdirection even though his English was clearly understood by me and I have bad hearing. I dunno if it’s all an act or if that’s truly who he is, but his personality during this video makes him seem like he is not only friendly and kind, but a blast to be around. I think he’s the guy at the dinner table that has every guest choking on their food and drinks from laughter.

[@akibe7608]

I just watched this performance again. This guy is a monster. No, like - seriously. There are a lot very skilled performers out there, but you have a very, very small club of magicians that are skilled at a level that is truly off-the-charts.

[@josekaz]

I bought Dani's dvd (download) on this performance, you will be amazed on how much phycology and manipulation is here, and how much was close to improvised by him. A true genius

[@bboyhanvzla]

if he made you buy a dvd, without any single doubt in my mind I can say he's a master of manipulation.

[@nox_tech_]

@@bboyhanvzla dvds and downloads are par for the course for magic learning nowadays lol.

[@wolfganghumboldt4830]

What is the DVD title for this performance? I'd happily pay for it

[@magedmohammed8674]

am thinking of buying his dvd but am a beginner and i fear that i won't be able to do the trick

[@joshuasplural]

The study of algae?

[@cordite7207]

I'm no magician and I'm not one to try work it out too hard but knowing how hard Teller has blown my mind, watching him in childlike wonder never fails to make me smile

[@szolanek]

My favorite reaction of his was the smallest one. When the card 7 was flying to the other 3... he knew it and was truly freaked out. Just lifting his hands to his face, with a kind of disbelief. "No, it can't happen".

[@Ragnar_Helsson]

Strange that nobody caught the fact that Dani told Donnie Osmond to pick a number between 1-20 and Donnie thought he would be cute and picked twenty ONE and Dani STILL crushed his mind. How did nobody pick up on that? Donnie was doing everything he could to try and mess him up. From grabbing the cards at the start, saying it was an incomplete deck, grabbing at the cards in the middle of the trick, to choosing a number outside the range he was given. AND IT DIDN'T FREAKING MATTER. Dani STILL tore his mind to shreds. LOL

[@modsquad20]

Dani says, "…thinking any number but between 1 and 20 or 20 something but high difficult number..."

[@shibo2319]

And dani did tell him to grab the cards in the middle of the preformance.

[@exodo7727]

“Shut up Donny” 😂😂😂 I almost spit out my coffee when you said that

[@EliaGaitau]

I loved your commentary on this video. Dani Ortiz is a beautiful soul for sure. I’ve never met him in person, but this performance inspired me so much that I emailed him directly. (I had some thoughts as to how he performed it.) He replied! (Which he didn’t need to) And he helped confirm to me something which I thought was the method (I was close.. lol ) The fact that he would even make time to interact with me - just blew my mind. Not only is he an inspirational card magician, his actions and character has helped remind me that there are still good men out there in the world. Thank you Chris for your great content, and thanks to Dani DaOrtiz for the fun in his magic.

[@CoenBijpost]

Wow! That is absolutely amazing 😮 Good for you to catch even a glimpse of his method. I think even the greatest magicians alive would have very great difficulty seeing through that… And what a great dude indeed to be so open to communication with a stranger 😊 Heartwarming! ❤

[@jacobnyhart6862]

That guy could have literally lined up vegetables on the table and named them off one by one and I would've still been amazed. His showmanship0 and infectious jovial personality are hypnotizing.

[@ThePandaMike]

Still my favorite show for magic. Chris, this trick hit me in the feels. As a lover of magic since my first Copperfield special as a kid, there's something about the reaction of everyone at the end, that hits me so hard I'm in tears. It's so goddamn beautiful and the magic is just next level.

[@EricRatcliffeNewcomicday]

I love your breakdown's of magic and how you're analyzing without giving away the trick. Telling someone to rewing to see if they can notice something themselves is such a brilliant way of not telling someone how something is done. Love this video Chris! :)

[@neergst]

This comment reminds me of chess, in a game you will miss something in a position, but if someone gives you that exact same position and says "mate in 3 white to play" you have context, not a "lesson" or "giving something away" just a subtle nod to say.. maybe, look at that again. You know now, something is happening, figure it out. You still may not but that's part of the fun.

[@garvin5191]

I have not caught up recently the fool us episodes so this is the first time I saw the performance. I have been through some of Dani's classes and he completely blows my mind. He truly is operating in a different space. So glad to see people like him brining new life into the scene.

[@mujiii]

5 or 6 years ago I watched him teaching a trick somewhere, and he was so good to the point where he was making two versions of the presentation depending on wether the spectator is a regular or a magician.. and that trick was even better to preform to a magician. He's that good. It is like if know too much, you will be fooled even more. He's amazing.

[@JB_inks]

Dani does create an actual magical feeling inside when you watch him work. I genuinely felt like a kid again, it was wondrous. What I love is how completely NATURAL and relaxed his magic is. I really hate seeing magic where the magician grips the deck tightly and does awkward moves covering the cards and it just feels so stilted and bleh. I watched Dani's act and for the first time thought "I don't want to know how this is done because I choose to believe we witnessed real actual magic'. I also love how much psychology and mentalism goes into his performance, but it doesn't look like mentalism. It's perfect. His verbal skills, his crowd control, his doing small things in off-beat moments. Absolutely wonderful. And finally, the appearance of chaos. The effect isn't chaotic, but the way the cards are messy and are thrown around, it looks like even Dani doesn't know where the cards are but he somehow wills the cards to be in the right place when the time is right. Superb.

[@IGI_Media]

I am Canadian, so you know what i'm about to say is sincere. I was nervous at the start of the video, because I thought a man that I admire and respect, was about to do a "How the sausage is made" magic revealed video. What I got was two-fold in that I got an "appreciation" video from a subject matter expert, and treated to some amazing magic! I have been a deliberate "Interested Observer" type of spectator since my youth reading up on Houdini and other magic types. I refuse to partake, because I don't want to lose the wonderment of it all, that I have had since my childhood. Again, was worried this video was going to do that, instead I am going away amazed and Thankful to our host. Keep doing what you do and ignore the urge to "go do photography" . . you're where you need to be ! Nicely done my friend! Great Vid !!!!

[@alanbrott3159]

I loved his performance when I saw it. But learning more about him, his teacher, and seeing your own astonishment really just made it that more enjoyable.

[@kentipton1203]

Chris Your commentary on this act is spot on. This is the best act I have ever seen and watched it several time prior to seeing your reaction video. I was so impressed and engulfed in this act but didn't know why. Every single thing you point out about the genius of this act is exactly how I felt watching it. I didn't know the nuances of what was making me feel the way I did, but your explanations of the things he did and why he did them to elicit a certain feeling, are the exact feelings I got while watching him. It was like the cards were the real magician and he was just there having a good time. This guys is amazing. Please keep doing these type of videos.

[@Hubadub-cr1bc]

even without the successful trick.....Danny's attitude, positivity, and energy is just so infectious!!!! We need more of him in the world!!!!!

[@allenschofield8500]

I had seen this performance a few days ago on KZbin, and decided I would watch this one today when I saw it. I am glad I did, I was amazed the first time, and your commentary just adds to my enjoyment as it enriches the whole performance. I LOVE this kind of magic. I do NOT want to know how it is done, it is just simply MAGIC to anyone watching and it was perfectly executed. I think it was a brilliant performance, and the reaction of both Penn and Teller says it all. It was the best FU ever on the show. Pure GOLD! Thank you for your presentation and explanations!

[@saylork8547]

He is a wonderful showman!! 👏👏👏 absolutely enjoyed that, and I can only imagine how great it is to see him perform live!

[@macobber]

Absolutely beautiful routine. Absolutely beautiful discussion/admiration/speech about this special man, from you Chris. This gave me the same emotion, happy to be alive moment that watching a great film for the first time gives you. What a joy to watch!

[@MrSknottykid]

Your love and respect for magic is contagious. I’ve been watching for a couple years now. My daughter had her first sleepover last weekend and I did a small magic show for them. The world is amazing and puzzling and magic reminds of that.

[@allonewordcaps]

You are an awesome dad

[@marcedwards5583]

I’ve never witness anything as mesmerising, joyful and brilliant as this performance and am now seeking out all his performances that I can. I bought the video on how to do the ritual, but even after watching that, there will never be a time where I can perform it. Pure genius at work. Great commentary on it as well!

[@daniel_wilkinson]

I watched the original (absolutely magnificent, by the way), and I saw another reaction talking a little about Donny's actions. After Chris talked about Donny grabbing the deck (which I, also, thought was part of the act) I see all sorts of methods Dani used to keep his mitts off like leaning his arm across and grabbing his forearm. When I first saw the forearm grabbing I was thinking - he's swiping his watch!

[@Tryyton]

Definitely more like this. I think I've never seen Teller that stunned before. He is a master of slight of hand himself. That trick is insane.

[@c0mpu73rguy]

Indeed, the fact that I react all confused about this trick is one thing, but seeing freaking Teller react that way, a master magician, the brain of the Penn and Teller duo, react that way is something else.

[@Tryyton]

@@c0mpu73rguy Exactly my thought. No trophy can beat something like that imo.

[@jimp711]

I enjoyed your commentary on his act. You were not stopping just to talk, but rather giving a insight on the "magic" right at the times it was appropriate! Dani is one of a kind and I hope one day soon to see him in person! Great Job!

[@brolohalflemming7042]

This is why I love magic. I'm a cynical old engineer, but watching that routine, it's hard not to smile. I know it's a trick, but the routine just brings back that child like sense of wonder and amazement. I also loved the way his routine and card handling looked clumsy and chaotic, but I'm pretty sure it really wasn't. I also liked Penn & Teller's reactions during the performance. They're professional cynics, seen thousands of acts, and they were still smiling.

[@markedly1013]

Penn and Teller knew how the trick was done. Why not admit it?

[@kimchi_b]

Absolutely, and his card handling and control is so precise and masterful, he has a whole other level on top which is making it look chaotic and messy, when it isn't. Some of the calculations he's making in his head at certain points are insane. Incredible.

[@kimchi_b]

@@markedly1013 They probably could work most of it out if they watched it back a few times, but that's not how it works! Dani has more than ten ways of doing the main trick, they were definitely fooled, and absolutely blown away by his performance :)

[@markedly1013]

He is brilliant but don't you think Penn and Teller knew what was going on?

[@kimchi_b]

@@markedly1013 They knew some parts for sure. Penn saw the deck when that Donny fool checked it, and it's pretty certain that if Teller was looking for it he would have seen the card loaded onto the top of the deck. Small other parts are obvious (but just little flourishes for the audience really). For the main trick Dani has at least six methods (and possibly as high as twenty!) so they'd just be guessing at one or the other, as they didn't catch it, and that isn't really fair. Basically they knew what was going on, but they didn't know exactly how, plus quite a lot of the routine is amazing 'Jedi mind tricks' (Dani must have multiple back-up ideas if any of these failed) - and they can't bust him on that!

The sad thing here to me is that I'm from Spain and I didn't hear about him until I saw him doing this performance at Fool Us. I grew up watching Tamariz on TV and I love him. But this guy... Other level. As spectator, you can only surrender to his humour and feel the magic like never. Great magician, great skills.

[@tonk82]

Es relativamente normal. Es un grande, posiblemente lo mejor que hay hoy en día, pero lleva mucho tiempo que apenas hace apariciones en tv, hace muy muy pocas, está muy dedicado a enseñar a otras personas. Ha acabado siendo mas conocido por la propia comunidad de magos, que por el gran público. Aunque esta actuación tiene pinta de que va a cambiar bastante eso :P

[@nirabhra-neel9863]

There are not a lot of people as knowledgeable as you about magic who can articulate their thoughts so well and make for an intriguing commentary. So yes Chris. Please continue this kind of format. I don't care which magician you react to. It can be more fool US stuff too but this was the highlight of my day. The performance along with your commentary made it incredible.

[@asMdl]

This is one of my favorite magic videos. I love how you enjoy it, how you make viewers appreciate the fun, the character, the mastery and uniqueness of this Spanish magicians, and you do it from respect and admiration. What a wonderful thing that this trick inspired you to start this reaction format. That is also part of the tribute. Nice job Chris!

[@pixi2k901]

This made me buy one of his downloadable materials and what he teaches about magic goes way beyond than just the method. His audience control and the process he goes through when creating a trick were worth the price, plus he teaches a couple of amazing tricks.

[@sambellamy7419]

I almost have tears in my eyes...feel like a 41 year old child stunning. THAT IS MAGIC and this guy is unbelievably likeable!!!!

[@LisaHarsh]

This performance was so wild. Thanks for doing this because I have seen this before but seeing it through you was great.

[@trisinogy]

[@Shadowise-46.2]

“N-E-Thing-U-Want” I loved this performance, and even though I’d already watched it multiple times, I still enjoyed watching again here with you and your comments. I’ve just recently really started falling in love with Dani’s magic performances and teaching. It took me a little while to really start getting it because of the language barrier; especially when it came to his lessons. But the more I watched and listened it has become easier for me to naturally follow what he’s saying. Even his Spanish performances are entertaining even though I speak no Spanish at all, but it makes me want to learn Spanish just to enjoy more of his magic.

[@optioncoachjohn]

So glad you did this, it’s a tribute to Dani’s mastery and it takes a seasoned pro like yourself to point out just how difficult and higher level Dani’s skills are for those not in the know to understand it. ❤

[@KazamKazamKazam]

Love this!! Thanks for making this happen Chris. I must have rewatched Dani’s performance about a dozen times, and still picked up new things/nuances thanks to your insights. Even after training with Dani privately for over a year. You’re extremely talented and have such a lovely grasp on the art, wishing you nothing but the best for 2023.

I came across this fool us segment 2 weeks ago and have LITERALLY watched this atleast once a day since I saw it! Thanks for covering this fool us episode!

[@szolanek]

It is my good night story, since.

[@rheawelsh4142]

So much of magic feels like this rigid routine, where even if you don't know how it's done you know that a specific set of steps have to be followed in a very specific order to generate a result. Dani just peels all that back and makes you feel like he could make any card appear anywhere at any time

[@markjacobson436]

So good,his performance was impeccable. This totally blew my mind too. Magic is magical when done to perfection💜

[@notquitehim]

I saw a Lecture by Dani and it's incredible something very interesting he says, is that he plays this character and sells it really well where he is just as confused and astonished by his own effects, which makes the audience mirror them. Adding that element of controlled chaos, really makes you think for a seconds that maybe he truly doesnt know whats happening either. Ergo his constant " I don't know how. . . but"

[@jordanhoke2511]

I agree 100% with your comment that Dani has surpassed Juan and is now probably the best card magician of all time. Was so glad and excited when I saw his name pop up on the show. So intelligent and just makes everything he does look so easy. Beautiful to watch him perform and just control all aspects of everyone around the table. Amazing. Also I enjoyed your reaction video and agree not something to do often over all the episodes to date I can think of maybe 1-2 other performances truly worthy of reacting too like this but I don’t know. This performance was just so pure.

[@ciscou]

I've had the privilege of watching Dani perform live several times, and I've read all his books and watched all his DVDs so I know every little secret. And you know what? It's still as fascinating, if not even more so, watching him perform again and again. I loved your reaction and what you told about the show!

[@szolanek]

So, do you say, he does not use mind control? (aside of the great manipulations)

[@szolanek]

Else. P&T don't buy his material? ... Hmm, it is kind of hard to believe. Nonsense. In that case, he didn't fool them..... Maybe with the 7, which was chosen by Danny. Teller was hit by it.

[@ciscou]

@@szolanek I did not say such thing. When I said "secrets" I was thinking of both sleight of hand and psychology handling, just in case that part was not clear. You can read "libertad de expresión" (freedom of expression) or watch Utopia (I think it's the 3rd DVD) for more info on this.

[@szolanek]

@@ciscou I see, forcing to name a card is technique.(?) It is beyond my imagination.... Actually, by the last one, Alison did weird things. At first, she thought a card without hesitation. It is not normal. Also, when she had to say it out, her eyes were turning to the upper right corner, as she was making it up now, instead of the left, where our memory is located. If you ask a person about what happened, and looks to the right ... lying.

[@goneflyin]

Chris, thank you for doing this. I’ve been a fan of Penn and Teller since they did a bit on SNL where Teller just walked like it was 1920 and lit a cigarette. Then they redid it from the other angle and Penn described how every ordinary move was, in fact, brilliant slight of hand. They proved that they weren’t out there to “do magic”, but to demonstrate the ART of magic. They did the cups and balls with clear cups, AND explained the trick, AND it was 10x better than anything else I’d ever seen, because I was amazed at the cleverness but also the SKILL behind it. Dani’s card handling is so brilliant here, and SUCH a joy - but hearing your own commentary and adoration made it that much better because it helped me appreciate, again, the incredible skill and joy behind slight of hand, and that joy is always welcome.

Considering I've never heard of this guy and only watched you doing opening puzzle videos I thoroughly enjoyed it. More please if they are as good

[@rackinfrackinvarmint]

His energy is refreshing and addictive. His performance, mind boggling. Please do a voice over like this with Derren Brown. His card magic (that he doesn't do anymore) is absolutely wonderful. His mind tricks is amazing too.

[@seangray8585]

I saw a breakdown of how the various tricks were done, and the sheer amount of information processing, crowd control, and card control involved made the whole act even more impressive. I love seeing how people react to it.

[@nardvark5150]

I've been watching you for a long time, and I think what I love most about your channel is the respect and love you have for all of it.. you're a good soul keep it up Chris cheers

[@iwasadeum]

I can spot SO MANY sleight of hand tricks. But I have absolutely no idea how his clever shuffling produces the end result. Absolutely insane performance.

[@Victor-wp4mx]

First time I saw that performance on fool us, I couldn't move from the couch for like 10 minutes... He truly is brilliant !

[@martinwheatley1639]

So iv only just watched this performance and I was blown away. That led me into your video. I love that you picked out parts of the act. And also pointed out what most people thought when Donny tried to make it about him.. as always I enjoy your puzzle videos and this has just added to my enjoyment of your work .

[@tolkienfan1972]

It's such a pleasure watching these perfomances through your eyes. Thank you

[@JoshWalker.]

I love card magic and this is in my top 3 favorites of all time. He is a treasure. I couldn't love this performance more.

[@spaceDJ_11]

When I saw this on Fool Us, and yes I know a bit about magic and even from my couch caught a few things from other contestants... Dani's floored me. I saw NOTHING! A true Master. Thank you Chris for highlighting this.

[@shamrockink]

Dani is completely INSANE ! ! I love that you, an amazing magician in your own right, feel the same way that I (a total amateur) and anyone who watches him feels. Joy, and wonder. Thanks for posting.

[@clumsydragon]

Wow Chris. What a great choice for a video today. I loved this one from top to toe. Danny demonstrated total and absolute mastery of his craft. Would love to see more types of this vid for sure. Thanks bud. Peace ✌️

[@TheCompleteStory]

I've been doing magic since I was a small child. The level of ability, misdirection, and pure talent. To be able to execute so brazenly in front people of such talent themselves. Amazing

[@tobiasware]

Chris, thanks for your beneficial method of describing what is going on without explaining the how and what of the tricks themselves, it becomes thought-provoking insight as opposed to step-by-step exposure. I'd love to see more of this type of video from you.

[@miguelmelendez7260]

Dude. I’ve always thought the same thing. Shows how much respect he has for magic.

[@PerfectAimPoseidon]

I can tell you took the time to make sure this was transformative so you didn't get in any trouble and I have to say you did a great job. I didn't time it but it felt like you spoke more than you showed the show. Great job, great video, would love to have some more of these it is nice to have a magician's perspective on these performances.

[@muhammadahmedsadiq2849]

This video was sooooo entertaining! This is pure entertainment. I have been studying Dani daortiz for a long time and I know how all of these are done, but just watching Dani's best work on this big of a stage is just SOOO FUN TO WATCH! I was smiling the whole time watching this video!

[@peteyandjaydee]

The best part was he wasn't even supposed to perform that day. He was only there to support another magician

[@calvinclayton2396]

"welcome to my world" love this guy

[@And1_Dirk]

I love Dani. He’s my favorite card magician of all time. I first saw him do this in one of his Penguin Magic lectures. He’s a genius and his style and control of the situation at all times is amazing to watch. He makes me feel like a kid full of joy watching him perform.

[@IzonTheGnome]

Love this style of video! It make's me understand the performance so much better!

[@ancientalbanian2853]

"donnie shut up" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@itseeth]

I like that this is a Chris Ramsay video instead of not a Chris Ramsay video

[@davidrogers8451]

Love this video Chris. For non-magic folk (like me), its great having you walk me through it. More of these :)

[@charlietighe]

Chris, what a wonderful love-letter to Dani. I just finished watching his workshop on this act and your praise is 1000% deserved. He is truly on another level. Welcome to his world. 😅

[@MrFrmartin]

Dani is amazing. Love your take on the fool us videos. +1 for more.

[@magicmagicman]

Dani has a certain energy and character that allows him to pull off the techniques he's using. Even if you know how he does it its very unlikely you'll achieve the same success with them because you aren't him. A master.

[@scott4196]

Tremendous… not only his magic, but how you communicate the brilliance. THAT is magic. Keep it up. Don’t ever change! Love it!

[@mrkcioffi]

Chris, Great Job, you brought out some very important Points for all of us to remember. The Magic is not the Slight, the lift or about any move. The magic was all in how he kept the entire audience and those at the table laughing the whole time. I noticed in almost every performance I've seen with Dani is that the audience is always laughing because "He's always laughing. " I don't know if that is part of the act or perhaps Dani is a joyful person himself at heart. In any case, he's really Phenomenal. When you watch that trick it's as if all the magic is just happening by accident. Brilliant!

[@xBRVTALx]

"Meow and complete" 🤣

[@grimpsmcllan6151]

Chris saying "Shut up Donnie" at the exact same time that I thought it was beautiful

[@robjacks2748]

This was really good. I watched the Fool Us episode when it was shown and was flabbergasted. Your commentary and obvious admiration show so much respect for Dani that it touched me. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@kathrynnpetersen8876]

Me too

[@BoY860]

i want to see more because these type of videos lead me down a rabbit hole which is very enjoyable!! Good content as always.
