(laughing) Welcome back.
Today we are gathering some of the Internet's
most amazing pieces of magic of artistry.
Join the subreddit by the way down below, link is there.
And add a flair to your post, all right
I don't mean like make your post stand out.
I mean an actual flair or flairs.
This week we got, we got some exiting
content coming your way.
If you are asking yourself "Chris, why are you
"wearing red sunglasses?" (chuckles)
Also we're kinda putting orders on
first.shop, you want some sick merch?
We so got it going on, support your favorite creator.
Or just, you know forget about him, support me.
And, hit the link below, first.shop.
All right so here it is. This is our subreddit.
This guy, "A segment of my competition act".
Subtle flex with the title, I believe you
have a competition act and were going to watch it.
Its a minute long, there's probably
going to be some cheesy music to it. Let's see.
(jazz music plays on video)
We're going to mute that music, and here we go.
(softer music)
(chuckles)
I like this.
(soft music)
(chuckles) It's very cleaver, reminds me
of some Kevin Ho.
Actually came up with something
with these arrows.
I don't know whether it was in cardistry
or with magic related but...
I like this a lot.
(soft music)
You're adding just another dynamic
to the card trick with arrows.
So you're adding to that misdirection
and it's very clever.
That's good, that's great!
Well done, very creative.
I look forward to seeing the entire act.
Let us know where we can see it.
"This rare and anti faro" okay?
Wait we gotta hear the sound.
There's no sound?
Really?
Anti faro video with no sound.
Oh "this raro and anti faro" oh I read it wrong.
(soft music)
He does it backwards, that's interesting.
Um so the way he did it--
the way he did it is cheating a little bit.
I'm going to try to nail-- I haven't practiced
the anti faro in months.
I used to be able to nail it
when I practiced it consistently.
It's the opposite of a faro.
Faro is when you shuffle the cards
one for one and they intertwine like this.
An anti faro is doing that, so basically
separating them one per one.
Which is really hard to do, I probably won't nail it
but the fact that he took half of the cards
and flipped them this way.
Actually helps the anti faro.
(cards shuffling)
Ya so that's not perfect, so you can see.
Fun to do, completely useless.
Some would disagree 'cause they have
routines set up with them.
To that I would say, humbug.
Because you'll probably fail the anti faro
and it won't--It'll never be as impressive.
Its kinda like a spring, right.
The spring (cards shuffling) so impressive to lay people.
Anaconda? They're like "oh, sweet. Do that other thing."
Right? That took me less long to learn.
Kinda the same thing, just for us
you know for the culture.
All right so we're going to have
to talk about this, eventually.
Reminder that this is one of the top
posts on crappy design.(laughs)
This shirt's meant to say "dope"
but I only see "pedo." (laughs)
let me--let me tell you about this shirt.
It was actually a gift from my Mom.
So thanks Mom if you're watching.
I didn't pick it up.
Like I saw-- I'm good at word games
I saw "pooped", "poop", "poo",
"doop", "dope".
"do"
"pop", "popped"
"poe poe", "doe doe"
"do do", "poo poo"
All of these variations, and somehow missed "pedo."
But there you have it 75 000 points.
I am a meme.
And I don't hate it.
Next, "not perfect, but still proud of it
"Eric Chien's one coin routine"
Let's have a look.
(soft music)
Pretty good.
Pretty good, a lot better than--
What! See that always impresses me.
That instant vanish. So impressive.
Way to go. That's Linda by the way.
Linda out of New York.
Super good with cards, super good with coins.
Super good with everything!
Aren't you Linda?
She is showing me up today.
All right, who's this now?
"Affection, I hope you like it and review
"this Chris, I started magic because of you
"and your channel"
Now let's have a look.
Music? (music plays loudly) and that's a no.
Got a heart, nice little heart.
Got two hearts.
Okay,
where do the cards go? Oh that's pretty good.
Okay, oh so it's like a little love story.
Oh no, they're gone.
"Pragya be my valentine"
Dude! It's November, chill out.
All right? Pragya, honestly.
And now he's proposing, Pragya this
man has gone a little too far.
Respect Pragya's boundaries until February.
Feb-ru-ary.
He's coming on a little strong.
But I appreciate the effort.
Memes, "Billy, what have you done?!
"card tricks are for nerds. Shoot him again Billy"
Really, just shooting people is not funny.
This guy.
- (man on video speaking Japanese)
- Wait wait, I love this guys energy.
(chuckles) who is this man?
- (man on video speaking Japanese)
- I have no idea what he's saying but I'm entertained.
- (Japanese dialog and laughter)
- Japanese is amazing.
- (speaking Japanese) ah one, two, ah three!
(shouts)
(speaking Japanese)
- (laughing) god, this guy's so animated.
A wizard behind a bar.
I think I've heard of this bar
if I'm not mistaken. The magic bar in Japan.
Always wanted to go a magic bar,
I know there's a Chicago magic lounge as well.
That I've been meaning to hit up.
Oh this is cool, "My Chris playing card collection"
Honestly, that's dope.
That's literally everyone of them.
"The vacuum cleaner trick"?
What's this? Is he talking?
- It's called the vacuum cleaner trick
I'll show you what I mean.
In order to start this we need a card
that can help me out here.
- Yeah I like the sound of this guys voice,
I dunno its soothing. Let's listen to it.
(mimicking man in video)"The vacuum cleaner
trick, uh I'll need a card"
- And um-- I think this card right here
the six of clubs will do just fine.
As you can see this card is very dirty
there's lots of spots on it, lot of business
on this card and we're going to try to
clean it up a little bit.
Using my trusty vacuum cleaner!
Yeah I know, it doesn't look like a vacuum cleaner.
Don't judge it by how it looks,
but judge it rather by what it can
actually do and I'll show you here
what it is actually capable of by lining
everything up. Making sure we're all square
and set to go here.
And we're going ahead and turn on the vacuum cleaner.
Here we go.
- This better make noise.
- (man in video imitates a vacuum cleaner)
- (laughing)
- As you can see we've managed to clean up that card--
- That's pretty good!
- But now, after every time you are done using your vacuum--
- You gotta empty the bag!
- Very important to always empty the bag.
- Ah he's got the two in there! (clapping)
clever! And his doves are singing in the background.
That is dope! I love the vacuum cleaner trick dude.
Definitely, getting an up vote from Ben Pratt.
Good job man.
Oh what's this? "Metal magic"? Hello.
Oh those are like those little
things that your sink plugs are attached to.
Crazy man cuffs with metal?
Oh, What?
Stop!
What?!
Altoine
- [Altoine] Yeah?
- Come here, make sense of this.
You know what these things are?
You know those little metal chains?
- Yeah.
- Okay, look.
- Magnets
- Magnets?!
Do you even know how magnets work?
That's not how they work.
- [Altoine] They're just small magnets.
- No! Because then the whole thing would
be stuck together!
- Not really.
- Look.
That's not magnets.
- Come on, it is.
Look, it has to be.
- On one side? On the other one it isn't?
- Yup.
- Well then, that can't be magnetic
'cause it would have stuck to it.
(snaps)
- Magnets
- You can't just say magnets at every trick
you don't understand.
- [Altoine] I just did.
- Might be magnets though, he might be right.
"coins across idea"
(soft music)
Yeah I don't know how that works. That's weird.
It's weird how he's holding his hand though.
Something is happening here.
I've always liked that idea for coins across
because here's the thing about coins across.
So what the effect is you normally have
like three coins or four coins or whatever.
And one by one they end up going to this hand.
The only reason we use three or four coins
is because ideally it would be just one coin.
But we can't do that.
This guy can, which is cool.
But we can't normally do that.
So we added the other coins that we add shells to them
or you know flippers or whatever it is
that makes you think that one is going
over to the other and we sort of disguised.
So we've justified having multiple coins
with dumb justifications when in reality
all we want to do is take one coin from here
and make it appear here.
That's the essential effect that we are trying to recreate.
And this guy kinda did it! So kudos for you
that's great!
"son one day you will become a professional magicians
"but I am already a professional magician
"but you still do riffle force"
that's not that funny.
How did they get 54 up votes?
They're getting a down vote, that's not funny at all.
"Every card control you know, ACR"
See that's a little funnier, little funnier.
Still not super edgy. Obbie!
Sorry I got my dog here today, you guys wanna see him?
Obbie come here. (kissing sound)
This is Obbie, Obbie is coming to chill
with me at the office today.
Flip your ear, you're on camera.
Obbie, I think you guys already know Obbie
That's my coffee, don't touch it.
Obbie wanna review some magic memes?
Hey?
You wanna review some magic memes, huh?
You wanna go down? Come.
All right, we'll watch a few more
what do you think Obs.
Read this "A little collection and show of creativity"
That's kinda cool.
Well done.
"when you buy the wrong drink"
Oh wow! What?
Obbie look at this, look here,
here (snaps fingers)
look.
How'd he do that?
That's not what I'd do if I bought the wrong drink.
But that's what he did.
"A palmed card in the same hand,
"the spectator taking the deck from my hand"
uh, okay.
See slow it down dude.
I feel like you're like, running out of time
and you're like "I gotta do the most cardistry
"that I can, with the time that I've been given"
uh (scatting)
Oh what?! That's super clean.
What is this coin vanish.
(soft music)
That's beautiful!
What?!
Obbie, it's a beautiful coin vanish.
Oh, he didn't think so.
Am I boring you Obbie with this magic?
You've seen enough? Alright say bye.
All right we're going to watch one more.
This is my buddy here Josh Janoski
(soft music)
I've seen this effect.
Arg this is a floating Sharpie.
Get outta here!
What the hell is going on?
Yeah that just shouldn't be possible
we're going to stop there.
That's enough internet-ing for the day.
That's enough!
Honestly, you guys are pretty insane.
