Big W for Magic

[@austinthomas9145]

Big W for YOU!!

[@deanage1983]

Cardistry is kept separate?

[@ericstone8812]

Woulda been cooler if you actually threw in some tricks in the vid but congrats been with you a long time and do miss that in the channel.

[@magicjackmaxwell]

Totally! Thank you, Chris!

[@Fiqure242]

How will you fight AI video? Love magic. My father was a magician in the magic shop at Disney in the 80s. I never got into it myself .I had the skills just not the stage presence due to being spectrum spicy. Regret not trying harder.

[@StarChasersHere]

My therapist suggested I tell my wife about my magic trick addiction by writing her a letter. I just can't pick up the Penn and Teller

[@Ayns.L14A]

Diddley Dum, Tish.....

[@BIGW0RM]

Take my upvote and get out.

[@TonyVSTheWorld]

😂 This only gets at 4.7 because only guys into magic will get it

[@darkbluemullet]

Stop it dad!

[@BobMotster]

You've been sitting on this one haven't you?

[@canyflyer]

This is the first time I have ever bought a Thanks on KZbin. I've been following you for years and have followed your puzzle journeys, your magic journey (that inspired me to join this amazing world), your truthful and beyond inspiring exposure of your personal ups and downs.. and now your recent Area52 journey (the only videos that I have ever seen on KZbin that are over an hour and can't stop watching...). Thank you for all that.... and all you have contributed in every one of those amazing worlds....

[@ChrisRamsay52]

Thank you!

[@Hiroshi-Magic]

So thats where it's coming from, you never fail to impress me, thanks for your hard work. This is going to be awesome.

[@ChrisRamsay52]

🫶

[@WalterRolfoMasterofMagic]

Thank you, Chris! It was great creating this together with you-happy to change history together!

[@bdawg923]

It's crazy to me that fism doesn't have a KZbin channel with all the performances

[@Plug4dabrain]

Chris should be recognized for what he's done. He lead a whole generation of people to magic. Was forward thinking and didn't bend to the idiots who were wanting to gatekeep magic or how people find it, interact, or learn magic. Really think about out how many people he's responsible for finding magic and the community. Chris deserves some type of recognition. People who don't realize he's helped in what they do today. Especially anything online.

[@Artistsunderground]

I’ve always had an interest in magic but I never pursued it. Then I got married and had kids and magic was a distant memory. I found your channel on KZbin years ago when you were doing your tutorials and you relit the fire in me and I began practicing. For my own entertainment, but also for my kids as they love to be fooled and love it even more if I teach them a little trick or two. If I didn’t find your channel, magic would probably still be a distant memory and I would not have these amazing memories with my kids, and future memories with my grandkids. Also because of you, I was able to get through the hardest time of my life in hospital with magic and it made it so much easier. Thanks Chris, from the bottom of my heart ❤️

[@JourneyOnLife]

But seriously. This all is a GREAT idea. People really get a lot out of being recognized too. Very awesome. I'm looking forward to seeing all the magic and fun and people in this EVENT! : )

[@ChrisRamsay52]

I appreciate that, and I think it’s going to be a lot of fun!

[@king_charizar]

2:14 wow that’s absolutely incredible I’m so happy for you and the magic community have fun and keep your heads up

[@f52_yeevy]

This is wonderful, wonderful news! Finally acknowledging the huge role of the Internet in the magic world. The two have been split for far too long (so much so that even some mainstream/non-magic media sources have started to catch up), and this will be the beginning of a new kind of collaboration. Thank you!

[@65ramblerman]

Chris you are soooo much happier and focused. Keep up what drives you. It makes me proud of you and your choices!!!!

[@WillShattuck]

Your intro sounds like what’s happening to ham radio. I’m 55, new to the hobby and am one of the younger members in my local club. Good job for the innovation!!!!!

[@jbkibs]

Dang, I need to hook up my rig again. I renewed my license recently. I moved awhile ago and never set up my antennas here...

[@Icebergslim333]

My dad was really into ham radio all his life, and had a lot of the cards of the people he would chat with from all over the world on display in his office. He passed away in 2010 at the age of 55. 🙏 This just sparked that memory. Thank you and I hope you enjoy it.

[@Geckomayhem]

This is so cool. I'm excited to see what all those talented people out there submit, and what makes the cut! I'm so happy for you, Chris. Your excitement is contagious.

[@namanalle]

no way!!!!!! this is amazing, thanks for your contribution Chris!

[@BelindaFarage]

Oh that is so very cool! Congrats Chris! I hope this blows up and gets the numbers it - magic - deserves.

[@Vinzcafe]

Amazing. I always loved magic and the fact that one of my favorite creators is making it easier for people to share their tricks is so incredible

[@JamesWiseMagic]

This is amazing news!! Thank you so much for all that you have done Chris! I can't wait to see what the online magic community does because of this!

[@skymustfall]

You’ve been a great positive force in the magic world. Glad to see you keeping it alive while perusing your other endeavors.

[@osmia]

[@bendersbrain]

Congrats !!! I've been following and loving your content for a long time, that's great news :) I'm a person person, from Quebec City, loving all things of life and creativity, magic, that's what make us more than living things

[@dahumanoid6117]

Dude, I’m so excited to hear this. I’ve been following you for about eight years now. I am so happy to see your growth. You were my first teacher.

[@Magiciansandmagicvideos]

Fantastic. Was going to launch my own online Champs couple of years ago. Just not enough hands. And now you have an official award. Well done fism

[@HandsforHim]

I’m just a lover of puzzles which is how I found your channel. You have made me appreciate magic more than before and it is a skill that should never die. I wish you all the best in this endeavor. God bless you Chris!

[@HallaYourself]

Oddly brought me to tears. You're definitely one of the reasons for my sobriety. So happy for you. Your videos I say pushed me towards puzzle solving, solving 3x3 rubiks, 3d printing even tho that's not you but they're all calming and don't be sorry. You take care of yourself. 💜

[@DANIELmadison]

Mad Respect 🖖🤚 long overdue and wouldn’t have been possible without the foundations that you laid.

[@cameronbailey9156]

I wish KZbin like tracked what subscriber you are or something. It's wild to see that you got 7 mil. I feel like when I subscribed you were well under 1 mil. Could be wrong but still blows my mind that a magic puzzle channel is this high. It's definitely the production and background music that did it for me.

[@mequellyall]

I know right he was in the 30 thousands when I found his channel

[@imccrae]

Pure genius ! It's nice to see hard and fast rules changing with the times. Keep up the amazing work. Love the passion you have for it all.

[@emmawheeler4624]

I agree, online is the way forward for most things now, this is a great idea, well done and good luck 😊

[@henryolsson1747]

Great news! Well done to all of those who made this happen, I hope it's a huge success! I only really came to consume magic when I encountered this channel a couple of years ago. Having an online magic championship really make sense. I hope it grows the magic community and that there's some sort of renaissance so that all the people who work in the field are rewarded for their skill and time they've invested. As much as I appreciate just watching magic, I also love watching others get joy from it. Look forward to the awards and hope we'll see more magic related videos from you Chris!

[@TheHobbyistMagic]

Dang, this is awesome Chris. This brings so much respect and dignity to the online magic world you've blazed a trail in. Excited for the competition and event!

[@marcuscto]

That is awesome news!!! You always have something up your sleeve hey! Congrats Chris!! Looking forward to have a streaming on the competition!!!

[@elinicastro1347]

SIIIIIIII!!!! In Italia! This is incredible. Nothing comes here, usually! Thank you!

[@oscar]

Very cool 😎

[@ericnouhaut1401]

Congrats Bro!!! Yes you're my Bro since all of thoses years passed to watching you!!! Force from France! 🤘🤘🤘

[@gabigooby2318]

Good for you, Chris! And good for us! Keep spreading that magic!🦎

[@Victoria-pt7qx]

Great to see your passion is alive and well... thank you for all your contributions you are looking well

[@Jeremy_Adams]

What an amazing opportunity for so many people who otherwise wouldn’t have access! Way to go Chris! I’m happy for ya man! 🎉

[@giig697]

Love this new category. Way to go Chris - this is amazing !!!!

[@AlexBoyer]

I think I'll compete

[@osmia]

Go for it!

[@justaguy6100]

Started following you during the pandemic, and this is great! I'm happy for you and your partners!

[@annyongpanda]

I'm glad you managed this and that you recognize it as such an accomplishment. I can't go but would watch a livestream if it were available. Definitely keep us updated! Sending support!

[@markpjf85]

It’s time for magic to evolve to the next stage well done Chris 👌👌👌

[@sharonlee413]

Keep doing you, Chris! You are magical and an ambassador of your craft! 🥰

[@MajesticMasiakasaurus]

WOW this is so cool! Huge congrats and thanks for your work making this happen.

[@GP_Magic]

Lets go Chris! keep the love for magic and your other channel.

[@w0nd3rlu573r]

To be frank I saw the SCIF in the background and clicked immediately. You got me good there, Chris, you got me 😀

[@Noleggeisha]

Great news. You are the reason I am a professional magician today. I wish this isn’t the last of your contributions to the world of magic. All the best to you

[@Adizadikario]

I literally just got tickets for fism when this published! Really hoping to meet you there, Chris!

[@kzookid2051]

Makes me wish I could do magic, but I don't have the coordination or memory for it. But, I do truly enjoy watching it! Best of luck to everyone who participates in the upcoming FISM, and have a good time!

[@allbrass0019]

I may not be the target audience of this channel, but I've been casually watching for many years. The relaxing puzzle videos or the crazy majic or the crazy intros to a puzzle. I love it.

[@PuzzleDesk]

Doing puzzles is great content, been good for him.

[@petdetect]

Amazing! A logic step in the evolution of magic and magic competitions.

[@blackmage471]

Congrats. And best of luck to all the participants.

[@nyx.at.night18]

Hey Chris! I just wanted to say I have loved your videos for years, and I saw your video of the virtual escape room with The Escape Game! I work with the company and absolutely loved your collaboration with the Monthly Mystery. We appreciate you Chris!

[@theeyeofaneagle7934]

Redonner la Magie, je suis la magie depuis mon jeune âge, avec Hodini, Coperfield et ici Choquette, merci Bro!

[@makienxhemmiktar]

this is actually great news and proof that the artform is not dying - but evolving!

[@kinexkid]

Make sure you have Captain Disillusion on the judge panel for the online stuff - im sure there will at least be a couple people teying some fancy cgi or something to try and sneak by

[@marshalbaek5580]

Getting The Captain in the loop. He would give credibility that I believe the most people will accept.

[@antoniodiavolo]

Chris said they have to submit the method as well

[@marshalbaek5580]

@ I thought the same thing, but you could dream up a method that you couldn't actually perform and make the illusion work with editing regardless. Know what I mean?

[@antoniodiavolo]

@@marshalbaek5580 I mean if you come up with and submit a method that would accomplish the same effect without CGI/editing, I'm not sure why you'd fake the video if it could be done for real

[@kinexkid]

@antoniodiavolo truth be told, I posted this comment before he got to that part. But I do also partly agree with one of the points Marshal made. Someone could have the method for a super complicated trick all worked out and written down for the submission, and they might be just not good enough to hide certain aspects during the performance, so they could scrub a little bit of a card showing here, or a mistake there. It probably won't be very prevalent since good editing is probably just as hard as doing convincing magic.

[@mikemorris3608]

Well done Chris, what a brilliant idea to widen and increase engagement 👏👏👏

[@TheBehavioralArts]

So awesome! Congrats man!

[@molouder9061]

I wish i could do magic like you do but i have no idea where to start so i have always enjoyed the magic you show me.

[@al-aurum2457]

yo this is huge..hopefully you guys get more sponsors as well

[@NonelikemeDhruv]

W from Canada!! You're amazing Chris !

[@luffegun]

SO proud of you brother. you truly will go down in history as a trailblazer.

[@MurreeAjebJarso]

Great job! This is incredible and will go far.

[@mariaanmo]

This is great news! It reminds me a lot of chess, a veeeeery very traditional game, and how it started having the necessity to adapt to online events to be able to keep up with the newer generation of chess fans and players. A lot of top chess players say that that is once of the things that is keeping chess alive and relevant. I hope this adaptation helps the magic community as well!

[@bernhard8540]

I just enjoy magic as one of my hobbies but it's awesome seeing the magic community really trying to update and grasp technology and hoe the world has changed in the past 10 years or so💙💙💙

[@chrisannablemagic]

What an incredible idea. The thought of being part of FISM was so impossible yesterday.

[@declaredjeans7555]

That's awesome Chris! Proud of you! Hope this inspires you to make a couple of new magic videos. Be well🙂

[@annettehawkins8467]

Rock on!! This is awesome and what an opportunity!!!

[@TylerK52]

Love you Chris!

[@Bunny1sAw3somesauce]

The olympics comparison is great. Just don't let anyone "breakdance"

[@xepaak]

Best of luck! Definitely gonna be a success ❤️💪

[@merickful]

Your hard work and dedication have broken bounds and reached heights never before seen!! In all facets. From here on youtube for us plebs to the pinnacle of magic and all it encompasses. Thank you for your ceaseless care. A tough road at times, I am sure, but the end results are apparent and deserved. To 2025 and Crhis Ramsey! Cheers!!

[@LootShaman]

Amazing!!! Online Magic Champion of the World. So cool. ❤

[@donnamealy4877]

Bravo. Way to go, Chris! It’s time magic became more “in your face” again, and stopped hiding elephants and skyscrapers. 💖

[@neuzd]

Turin native here. Just saying congrats for the achievement.

[@jphanks]

Well done, Chris! You're truly making a difference

[@ChrisRamsay52]

Appreciate it!

[@squirrelsurvival]

Nice work man! Ive been teaching my daughter some magic and loving it! This might get me to pick up the cards and coins again. I'll try and create something for ya! ❤ ✌️

[@byoutube8224]

salute to your team, and the world, as this is the only trick I would like people to pull off, as it is for entertarinment, I am happy to be lie with. had been watching your channel on and off, and I am into occult stuff, so, I am heading your Area 52 now.

[@KAIMAGICIAN]

thats why you're definitely my hero in magic 💯

[@feenyx6394]

Ws all around, hopefully there will also be coverage of the event at some point? I bet there's a lot more people that want to see FISM than are able to travel for it!

[@Raven-Creations]

Great news, but I don't like the vertical format restriction. This disadvantages those who are only on KZbin and are used to working in horizontal format. I know it's not a mandatory condition, but the implication is that vertical format videos will get preferential treatment. I'm not speaking out of self-interest since my public performance days are behind me.

[@WTFlux-lh2tf]

It's simply a fact that the evolution of the human social construct is more and more "e" online. I also think that this is the perfect time to initiate such an effort because of the solid validation that online personal presentations signify in nearly every field. IMO, the momentum of official recognition will build a far healthier and coherent magical brotherhood amongst all magicians world wide. Bravo!!

[@TheNoobzoid]

You video are always very well shot. Respect!

[@ayeyebrazov2411]

Good job Chris... Magic 2.0...I think it's an Evolution of classic magic performing... Ok.. performance in video are different from live ones... Purists probably not really Happy about this, but some magics well structured, and prepared are wonderful in video too...

[@thedorito5434]

I tried to become a magician, but my wife made me quit... She said every time i walked into the room, i made her patience disappear!

[@dmoney1324]

Love the anamorphic lenses, Chris!

[@hughmann1908]

Everyone needs a little magic in their lives! Especially now ❤

[@ArtificiallyFlavoredIntelligen]

And what a great contribution this is!!

[@iamshaun]

This makes me happy! Good job sir!

[@notoriousresearcher]

Very cool, would be great to be able to watch it online too. Hope the event goes well!

[@avbh-d3i]

Got chills. Also thought it was gonna be online ticketed event ?

[@WhiskeyRichardTV]

Congrats, man!!!!

[@kcjonesii493]

One step up to maybe televising the event👍👍👍

[@itsalexclark]

big W - nice job

[@luiswalla9778]

Thank you so much for caring so much❤❤❤❤❤

[@tjm11015]

Good luck guys, sincerely😁

[@npcimknot958]

Stream with twitch and youtube. Would love to see magic get popular again!

[@jenn_willey]

Awesome!! I don't know how to do magic but I'll be intersted in watching!

[@EJFXxx]

Thanks Chris ♥♦♣♠

[@mikeharman4257]

Sounds great, love your passion to keep the art alive and get people to think about new formats. What counts as original though? Surely a lot of acts use existing methods, just tweaked slightly or presented in different ways? Why the vertical restriction?
