(light, bouncy piano music)
- Hello again, welcome back.
Haven't checked in in a few days so I thought I would
update you guys on some stuff as well as
show you some cool things, be right back.
(howling) This, this here is basically your
fan mail in the last like couple months.
I haven't had time to really catch up on fan mail.
I'm just gonna go ahead and read some of these.
I don't know what, what's on them so you know,
we might get death threats, free,
maybe there's money in here, I don't know.
Maybe some of you sent me money.
If you didn't, I can link you my PayPal.
This one, I have no,
is that, is that someone's sock?
Smells clean, okay, oh wow.
So it's a card clip, and the camera won't focus on it
because it's invisible, hold on.
Yeah, okay, and this says
hashtag ram fam on the back.
The sock is of good quality.
Oh, a little worn out on the heel.
Thanks so much, you've been a huge inspiration
and teacher for me.
I've learned magic techniques, tricks, sure,
but I've also practiced up on philosophy
and who a magician should be.
How to represent both myself and my performances better.
So this guy's from Texas.
His name is Mike.
Thanks so much, appreciate that to no end,
thanks for the kind letter.
One for one, let's go.
I got this one, I think I got this one today,
these two I got today, look at this.
Remember these envelopes when you used to get your
report card in these so they always bring
back some bad memories for me.
(sad music)
Oh, that's cool.
Little CR logo.
Dear Mr. Ramsay, I drew a drawing of something
I thought you would like.
I hope you like it, from Tyler.
I am 12.
Thank you Tyler.
Do not bend.
You mean like this?
What is this, this pretty cool.
Check these out.
Little Chris Ramsay stickers.
YouTube stickers so you guys can subscribe.
That's cool, thank you for that, my friend.
In the last few months I've stumbled across
your videos solving puzzles and found myself
drawn to it, since then I've been binge watching
a portion of your video.
Thank you for your content.
Thank you, man.
Glad you appreciate it.
Thank you, Jeremy.
I'm obviously not gonna go through all these.
Oh this is cool, what's this?
(dramatic music)
Oh my God, I almost died.
What the hell is this?
Oh wow, look at that, boom.
Look at that.
How sweet is that?
Look at that.
I don't what this is but it's cool.
It says Chris Ramsay with an ey, rip.
Hey Chris, my name is Jake.
I live in a small town in Pittsburgh.
I just recently stumbled upon your
YouTube page and I'm a huge fan.
My two hobbies are shooting pool and pyrography.
What, come again?
Which is the proper term for wood burning.
I love burning because not too many people do it
and it's basically a dying art.
Okay, you seem like a really cool guy
and I love your videos so I figured
I would send this gift and I will always
be looking forward to your video.
Thank you, Jake.
Alright, one more.
I like the hand written ones myself.
I like when people write.
Hey Chris, my name's James and I've been practicing
magic for a little over a year now.
Recently I performed for my English class.
It was an act that represents Hamlet and was
my final exam grade.
Wow.
I was visibly shaking at the start.
I even pointed it out and said, sorry,
which helped me calm things down.
By the end, I was in this flow and was actually
sad it was over, I got full credit.
Honestly, I owe that to you that's why I wrote you.
You're an excellent role model and I appreciate
everything you've sacrificed for your fans
'cause I know you've done a lot.
Thank you Chris, a fan with
terrible handwriting, James.
Thank you, James.
James man, that's actually a really good point
that you out there like a lot of people ask me
how do you get over.
I'm gonna put this away right now.
How do you get over shaking and nerves
and everything and the best way to do it is
always just to push through.
If you are nervous, the best thing you can do
is just acknowledge it and say, I'm sorry,
I'm nervous, I'm not used to doing this
or you guys are really intimidating so I'm
just gonna go for it, sorry if my hands are shaking
and there's nothing more beautiful than that
for a spectator, rather than trying to hide it
when they clearly see you're shaking,
just be human for a second.
So good on you, man, good on you and keep it up.
Okay, alright ladies and gents.
A few things I wanna talk to you about.
Number one, these hats by the way, this one here
they are flat and snap flat, flap jack,
these are snap backs with the CR logo.
We also obviously have dad hats.
Something special on these is one,
this little touch of gold embroidery I put in the back
and on the inside, you may recognize these series
of numbers as I have them tattooed on my body right here.
The trick where they've seen in the show.
Pick a card any card at free will and that is the card
that is crossed out as you can see here
and so I've performed this trick numerous times
on camera, you guys asked me about it so what
I've done is I've embroidered them on the inside
of the dad hats and the snap backs,
they're available now.
They will ship late September because they're
in production right now so late September
so if you're interested, if you buy the hat,
we ship out one link per day to all the customers
so you will get the link way before you get the hat
and you can practice that.
You can even you know, you don't obviously need the hat
to perform the trick so you can go perform it
but the hat's a nice touch with the embroidery
so if you guys wanna check that out,
you'll also get a signed playing card.
Not an entire deck but you do get a signed card
so one first playing card signed by me
as well as a link to the trick and the hat.
Well anyways, I'll leave the link below if you guys
wanna check that out, it's the first link
at the top of the video.
On another note, in the news, have you watched
that Jake Paul Logan Paul fight, Logan Paul KSI fight?
I actually watched it, I rented it, okay.
Burn me below, grill me all you want but to be honest,
it is, it was the biggest streaming event
in YouTube history and I am a YouTuber,
that's what I do for a living so A,
I wanted to support the platform not just the Paul brothers
and KSI and those guys.
I wanted to support the platform, I wanted to see
what was going on, I wanted to see how they did it
and I wanted to see if there was any cringe moments
obviously or good fights or whatever but I think
it's great because it brought a whole bunch of people
to the platform, people that didn't watch YouTube
before might now have created an account,
which means more viewers for every YouTuber,
which means all sorts of stuff.
So that was that, I'm not gonna talk about the fight
other than YouTubers are to boxing what Micheal
Jordan is to boxing, that's how I'm gonna put it.
I'm going to the United States tomorrow,
film with a massive creator on the channel.
I don't wanna divulge who it is because I'm
not sure that he's ready to let people know
and I kinda wanna respect that as a fellow YouTuber
but again, you know, take a wild guess below,
let me know who you think it is.
Those videos will probably be out sometime this week.
If you guys follow me on Instagram, you can
actually like follow the stories while I'm there
and everything else so I'll leave the Instagram there to.
There is gonna be magic involved.
I am going to be performing magic
to this person or persons.
One trick that I've worked on, which I'm ah,
I cannot wait, I'm so, so stoked for this trick.
I've used this little baby.
This my friends is a cryptex.
Much like you've seen in the movie, The DaVinci Code,
these things are the coolest thing on earth.
Just screams like mystery and I just love the way this looks
so basically what it is is that you have these arrows here
and you put a word in and there's only one word
that unlocks this whole thing and the beauty of it
is that you choose what word unlocks it and I really
love that so it's not like a generic word.
You can choose a word and no other words open it
and then inside, you got this like compartment
and in the compartment you can hide something
or I'm actually performing a magic trick
where the prediction is inside this thing
the entire time so my prediction is already in here
on my way to film that video, that's gonna be tight
so if you guys wanna pick this up,
I'll leave the link below.
I believe it's puzzle master that sells these.
There are different types of them.
This ones like really heavy kinda like brass look
and it works really well.
I've undone it, I've changed the word a few times
just to see, just to test it.
It's really, really clever and just looks good on a shelf.
Kinda like a puzzle so if you have a riddle
for your friends you can leave that on a table,
put five bucks in it and say if you solve the riddle,
you get five bucks.
I don't know, whatever you wanna do to make it a drinking
game, whatever, I'll leave the link below.
It's just super interesting and looks really cool.
And the final thing I wanted to show you today
and I wasn't sure if I was going to because
it's a bit early but I think I will.
BRB.
These are the proofs of first playing cards vetu.
I shouldn't even be talking about this,
I don't wanna talk about it before it's out
because the last time we sold these,
we had a pre order them, a lot of trouble
went through and it took like eight months before
people got their cards because they weren't printed
yet but because of the success of that,
I was able to keep that money aside and pay
for these decks, I didn't have to crowd fund it,
which is really great, thanks to you guys.
So these decks will be in stock when they go on sale,
you will not have to pre order them.
The day they're on sale, they will ship within
a few days of that day.
I think eight weeks tops but don't quote me on that.
I will let you know.
But these are the proofs so basically they send you
the face and the back, two separate sheets
to review to make sure everything's okay and I don't
know if I should show you anything.
You know what I will show you, I will show you something.
I will show you something, I can't not show you anything.
I will show you, what was that, what was that, what?
So this is the faces of the card
and that is a really sick, nifty, little snakey,
designed by my good friend and artist,
Abraham Garcia Sanchez.
Would you stop twisting.
And that right there is one of the ad cards that you get.
I won't spoil the rest and I won't spoil the back design,
just so you know, not before I'm thinking like eight weeks.
Yeah, also, I'm just showing you guys stuff.
I'll show you one more thing.
I'm going to film this video with the other YouTuber
but I'm also going with two magician friends of mine,
Franco Bascelli and Alex Boyer and I'm thinking
of doing a video over there with these guys using this.
DO you guys know about this?
So you got like this spinning wheel, you spin it
and there's two beans that are identical
and one bean might taste like strawberry banana smoothie,
delicious and the other bean, which looks the same,
might taste like dead fish.
You might have peach, tasty, or vomit.
Buttered popcorn or rotten egg.
So 50, 50, one of you gets the crap bean,
one of you gets the good one and that's it so
I'm thinking of doing a video with that.
Let me know if that's a good idea,
if that's something you guys would wanna see
'cause I'm bringing this along
and we can make that video.
But guys, that is it.
I just wanted to update you on some stuff.
I didn't wanna bore you to death,
I hope you enjoyed the video.
I hope, I'm so glad you guys are enjoying the channel.
This video's long enough, thanks for watching.
Like this video, subscribe to get your notifications,
all that stuff and guys, we'll see you on the next video.
Peace.
