I don't care how much charisma he has - he broke them bones.

[@lndsyg]

[@Sana-np1my]

[@ggmoymoy]

doing a school research report on charisma. this is so different from all my other sources (basically lists of charming habits) but was definitely the most valuable. thank you, amazing work! :)

[@wodtozack1347]

This remembered me of the villain of 20th century boys

[@angelenergy333]

So underrated this is the best explanation and such a great guy!

[@Sana-np1my]

And those magic tricks were truly magnificent but at the same time so smooth

[@VictoryS87]

Telepathic Charisma is real! I always felt it working and could never put my thumb on it till today!

[@phenomenalteachers]

Jon is no doubt an exceptional magician yet he has a way to relate to the audience by being authentic 🏆

[@marianormann9599]

[@Sana-np1my]

Great plot , idea and such an effective storytelling

[@Allaboutk-pop123]

Thanks for your excellent talks.

[@aceleryful]

You sir are a champ! Amazing talk, I enjoyed it a lot! And actually went and bought a book on magic 😆

[@nenadjuric8824]

Basically charisma = believe in yourself and hope people pick up on that belief

[@ensormagic]

I would say that is the foundation which charisma is built on. When it comes to charisma in different settings (on stage, as a leader, etc) then there are plenty of techniques to develop , but the focus should always be on that underlying belief, combined with a focus on making the people around me feel good.

[@danishteo6991]

Charisma is about doing the same things as other people, but in a charismatic body language, tone, facial expressions and eye contact.. What you do or talk about is 10%, How you carry it or present it is 90% People worry about what to do or talk about all the time when those are just 10% of what makes you charismatic.. Focus on the 90% instead, and you'll see results.

[@nenadjuric8824]

@@danishteo6991 Nice, so social mimicry + bruce lee's "adapt useful, discard useless, add specifically your own" = charisma

[@younesmohssen8158]

@@ensormagic I just happened upon this video while doing some research and noticed you’re the magician from the video ahah… I’m a magician as well but I got into magic mostly like every other magician, meaning I developed and got the “tricks” part down but now I find myself lacking the charisma part. Any books to suggest how to develop it at all? And I don’t mean just for magic but an overall sense of charisma. I’ve read the max entertainment book which is a classic that almost everybody suggests that you probably know too and I thought it was a fantastic read but I’m still aware I haven’t even scratched the surface. Thanks so much appreciate you x

[@TaraMae212]

Wow..amazing perspective on the aspects of charisma & based on the other and sharing.

[@jeevanmariadsilva]

One of the amazing tedtalks I've heard. So smooth..

[@salamandernotnatsu4626]

I love this man

[@abdullahtareq8326]

great man.

[@abram2535]

Being bullied is hard to cope with. I've experience that for 4 years in elementary school. But now I have no feeling for people. But again I am wondering if these Charismatic people are happy because they give so much for others.

[@gaby5546]

Thank you now my shoulder hurts

[@robferguson9801]

Coolest TED background I've ever seen.

[@chachodan2848]

feels like christmas time

[@hannan2619]

My hypothesis confirmed. Charisma happens when you believe in what you are saying.

[@paulmathew001]

Super Jon

[@beflyaudio]

The camera being upclose actually allows you to see when and how his slight of hand happens, and that the bone cracking sound is his mouth. But i cant imagine how fun it would have looked from the audiance point of view.

[@nisrine6637]

I won't trust the number of views anymore.

[@GauravKumar-ch3xn]

Based on my experiences, i can trust you so effortlessly

[@sirabhop.s]

agreed

[@theoutliers6680]

Yeah views can be deceiving

[@yuvrajprakharsingh5082]

how does this only have 2K views???

[@koasky486]

Magical !!!!

[@ole.alistar]

Darling, This is so great! I don’t want any of my competitor see it!

[@Sana-np1my]

He's beautiful too

[@suryakiransuravarapu]

I'm watching while boozing but didn't even complete 500ml, when this ted talk complete I felt like a soft movie rather than a class! definitely this guy did pretty well! Thumbs up

[@DanDominicLagmay16]

Watch closely at 1:57

Who checks the comments first or is it just me

[@nitishamore3589]

You will know the power of this Ted talk only after listening to this, and this comment can't summarize what this whole Ted was about. Watch!

[@serges2983]

Only the elbow touching the shoulder fooled me and he didn't explain how he did it

[@ensormagic]

Sorry, usually I do - I missed it out on this talk 😅

[@delfiferreri7388]

he's the brunette version of Barney Stinson

[@kentuckyfriedpigeon]

he’s legen- wait for it…

[@diegoaespitia]

lol wut, this had nothing to do with charisma, just him doing some magic then saying "telepathy" LOL

[@goodorangekitten]

your response has no charisma

[@wodtozack1347]

Pay attention near the end

[@SpaceTraveller-uu7ir]

Can supposedly do magic but can’t wear a suit that fits. His pants are too short and his jacket is too small. And there is a total lack of charisma on display for a talk on the subject.

[@asecretturning]

The working title was: How to become delusional about nonverbal communication

[@dexteremrit3130]

Time is limited, so please re-invest your 14 minutes!!!

[@johndawson6057]

Main takeaway: become a magician to make friends.

[@johndawson6057]

Sooo... vibes???

[@SirBudak]

Great talk!
