(grunts)
- So, I know I haven't been present
in the last couple days and normally
I upload a tutorial on Monday and Tuesday,
but I've been a little bit busy.
Not to fret, I'm gonna try to make it up to you today.
Today you're not only gonna learn something
but I'm gonna try and have you create something.
So basically I have this cut, this flourish,
that I came up with which is called 'stitches'.
("Magic" by SKALE-E-TRON feat. Janet Jones)
I love the way that flourished open -the opener.
The closer, I'm not so crazy about in retrospect.
I think I can do better.
And this is where I kinda need your help.
Stay tuned to the end of the video to learn the opener
and whoever comes up with the best closer
or the closer that I think fits me the best
I'm gonna give you a fat shout out
and uh, let you teach it on my channel.
- isn't that just an easy way to
get out of creating your own content?
- Hey, man. No one asked you.
- All you have to do is drop a hashtag
on Instagram with your performance of-
I'll give you a couple weeks to come up with it.
Hashtag will be #ramfamcloser
#ramfamcloser is the hashtag so
upload your performance of where
you think this flourish could go
for a chance to be featured on the channel
and uh, to teach me a cool closer to this opener.
But before we get to that,
I've got a few things to do today.
I've gotta go perform for a kid.
And not just any kid, I'll explain.
So the kid I'm going to perform for is named Benjamin.
Benjamin has autism and his mom works in the radio,
his dad's a comedian and saw me on a TV show
and said 'Man, it would be great if you
performed some magic for Benjamin' so
here's the thing, I'm not a great kid's magician
I'm definitely, probably the last person you
wanna hire at a kid's party for
many reasons which I won't get into.
But I thought this was a really good opportunity
to get into, just do something nice for somebody
and this kid will probably really love the magic.
That being said, uh, I don't know what to do
so let's go have a look.
So this is my whole, sort of, wall of magic and tricks
I've got tricks down here but nothing
nothing really for kids.
Oh, is that the ace of hearts or-
this is terrible.
Look at this one,
(screaming)
Oh, by the way, this little beastie right here
this is a level ten lock puzzle.
Thing weighs a ton, it's massive.
I'm gonna be honest, I'm a bit afraid
to even start on this.
If this video gets 10,000 likes
I will make a video on it.
If not, it's just gonna sit right here on the shelf.
So I'm out of ideas, so I'm gonna hit up my
buddy Vince, Vincent C who's an incredible
magician, incidentally, probably the second
worst magician for kids in the entire world.
(screaming)
Let's go see what Vince suggests I do.
(grunts)
eh, good enough.
(car doors banging)
(knocks rhythmically)
Vince!
- What's up?
- Oh, gotta say hi to the snake.
(indistinct background chatter)
Did you make me supper?
- Yeah.
- 'Cause I'm really hungry.
Oh my god.
Vince, open up it's for the blog.
(suspenseful music)
(laughing loudly)
(guns firing in game)
Damn it.
Look at this gun, oh!
I'm gonna perform some virtual magic today.
(Vincent chuckling)
It did nothing, look- look at my hands.
- Okay, no.
(indistinct)
- Yeah, see it.
- Yep.
- Nothing up my sleeves, I have no sleeves.
- No, you got no sleeves.
- I'm gonna grab this, completely ordinary object.
- Yep
- Completely ordinary object, watch,
side to side, side to side
- Oh my god!
- Disappeared, we'll never see it
again ladies and gentlemen.
So, I wanna show you guys a little magic trick using a key.
- Put it in the piano.
- I dunno about that.
- Okay.
It was a very special key,
it was given to me by my grandfather.
- Okay.
- Gotta be careful with -oh no.
- It's gone?
Or, no it's on the floor.
- No!
(screaming)
(chuckling)
Ladies and gentlemen, the best magician
in the world, Vincent C.
- Kids, want some candies?
(laughs)
- What is that, drugs?
- No.
I wanna be the best kid's magician
I've gotta -I have to perform kid's magic.
Is this some type of magician's prop?
- This, yeah.
It's a water pipe.
(chuckles)
- For the amazing water pipe illusion?
- Yep.
I've got a trick.
You wanna see a trick?
- Yep.
- Okay, so you hold the ball like that,
magically you can make it fly.
- That's pretty cool.
- Yeah, yeah thanks, so
- Oh my god!
Not too sure I can use that.
- You have to have a really fast hand to do magic.
And you put a quarter and you have to catch
a quarter, okay? and boom!
- What, you gotta do it quick without
getting your hand caught?
- Yeah, you gotta like
(screams)
So, if the kids want one to know the time
- Kids have phones now a days.
- Hey, want a smoke?
(chuckles)
Joints, with me?
So you know the most famous trick of the coin behind here?
- Yep
Uh, what?
(sniffs and chuckles)
Up the nose.
(disgusted groans)
Ooh, the flying orange juice, ooooh
Look, I got some mixed nut just for you.
Eh, Want some?
Come on Chris, come on
(suspenseful music)
- Ugh, do it for the blog.
- Be a man
(Chris grunts)
- Oh, mixed nuts.
- Yeah.
- Thank you.
(spits loudly)
What was that?
- Actually it's temptation for cats.
- This is cat food!
(Vincent laughs)
Alright, so what have we got, Vince?
Something a little bit more kid friendly, please this time.
- Okay like a gun?
- Exactly.
- Little kids like to play with guns, so
- This is true.
- Let's try something, okay?
(gun bangs)
(chuckles)
- There's something terribly wrong with this man.
- Don't play with guns.
Gloves for security, okay?
- Yes, absolutely.
(screaming)
What's this?
You lost something.
Vince, what are you doing over there?
- Uh, I got a spoon.
(grunting)
(Chris chuckles)
- Alright, what now?
- I'm tired now, Chris, man.
- What are you doing?
- I'm putting stuff in my face again.
(Chris laughs)
Oh, god.
Alright, so listen, I really need some kid material, man.
This is important to me.
- Okay, it's only a pen, okay?
- Alright, hold on, I trust you.
Okay, let's go.
And, can you see it's how you say.. it's
- It looks like it's, yeah, like it's made out of rubber.
- Yeah, man, of course it's made out of rubber.
- Oh.
- Idiot.
- Look, look I got an assistant.
Every time I do a show
♪ahh♪
(laughing)
- Alright Vince
- Yep.
- Vince!
- Yep.
- I think I got what I came for.
- Yeah?
- I have everything I need
(thuds)
- Okay.
- I'm gonna be using absolutely nothing
of what you showed me, absolutely nothing.
- Aw, come on I showed you great stuff.
(Chris chuckles)
- Go check out Vince's channel
I'll leave a link in the description
if you like this kind of magic.
Check him out, I'll leave his page below.
- Ahh, the sacrifice.
This is like National Geographic-oh, he got it!
(disgusted noise)
- [French Narrator] Six and a half hours later.
- Good morning.
After late night at my buddy Vince's house
we got some ideas gathered for this thing.
I'm probably gonna be in a lot of traffic.
I haven't gotten up this early to drive
to the city in a don't know how long
and I'm not looking forward to it.
So, that being said..
Let's go do magic..
(rhythmic knocking)
Good morning!
Guess where I am.
Outside your door.
(door squeaks)
'Morning.
Ready?
- Ready.
- Let's go.
(soft Indie music)
Alright, so we just got here and
uh, getting ready to perform some magic.
This is the setup.
Insert B-roll.
(intensified Indie music)
(inaudible)
Alright, so just dropped off Vince.
That was a lot of fun, it was really cool
to sort of see him react to the magic and stuff.
Really cool things his parents are doing as well
raising awareness for autism, I think that's really cool.
So, felt really good to perform for this kid and
I'm glad he enjoyed it, but now
you guys, it's time to go home
because I'm gonna teach you the opener
to that cut I was talking about.
Hopefully you guys can fill in the blanks.
So, lets skip to that.
(panting)
So the opener looks something like this.
And that's it, that's where I'm at right now.
So, it leaves you a lot of room
to do whatever it is you wanna do.
You can even break it down into
four packets if this one goes in
and then maybe you can split the middle one
here and come up with something.
I'm just at a loss, I don't know what
to do but I really love the opener.
I just kinda want help on the closer.
So maybe the Card Street community out there
if you guys have some ideas.
I'll feature a couple of the videos
if some of them are really good.
Watch the stitches tutorials,
I'll link it below, but here's a quick overview,
You get into a Z cut and then your thumb
on the dealer's hand goes under the
bottom packet, holds it there,
brings it to the other size, here like this
and now you're kind of here.
I just love the way that feels,
it's super comfortable to just
start off like that.
I don't know where to go from here.
So, if you guys can figure that out for me
that would be fantastic,
in the meantime I'm gonna edit this video.
I've got some work to do.
I'm leaving for the Blackpool Magic Convention
next week, the 15th.
I'll be there from the 15th to the 19th in
Blackpool, England for the world's biggest magic convention
so if you see me in the streets or walking around,
come say hi.
Hope you guys enjoyed this video.
Like this video if you did, subscribe if you're new here
We'll se you on the next video
Peace, rock!
