- All right, so I got nominated by Peter McKinnon
to do the Lemons for Leukemia Challenge,
where basically you have to bite into a lemon,
and I'll leave all the information about that
at the end of the video, but for now,
I thought I'd do something fun.
I'm gonna have a special guest on today.
I'm gonna introduce you to my mom.
Here's the catch: my mom doesn't know what I'm doing.
She has no idea what this video's about,
she has no idea what she's about to get into.
Basically I'm gonna tell my mom that
the more lemons you eat, the better it is for the cause,
and we're gonna do this Lemons for Leukemia
on my channel and she's gonna help out.
She's gonna wanna eat as many lemons as possible, obviously,
but what she doesn't know is that
I will have eaten miracle fruit.
And for those of you who don't know what miracle fruit is,
I'll leave the link below if you guys wanna check these out.
It's pretty cool.
It basically blocks your bitter and sour receptors,
so every lemon I eat is going to taste like
the best orange I've ever eaten in my life.
So, while I'm going to be enjoying some delectable lemons,
she's not gonna enjoy them so much.
Obviously I'll let her know after it's all done.
For those of you tuning in
who don't know about this channel,
basically, I'm a magician, so this wouldn't be a
lemon challenge without doing a little bit of magic,
so stay tuned for a magic trick
near the end of the video.
I gotta get my trick ready, I gotta get these lemons ready.
My mom's on her way.
Guys, don't forget, like this video

This is gonna be so funny.
Let's go!
So, you leaving now?
- [Mom] Yeah, I'm on my way, but take your time.
- [Chris] No, I'm ready, we're all ready.
- [Mom] Okay.
- [Chris] All right, bye. - [Mom] Bye.
- My mom just called me.
She's about 10 minutes away.
I gotta hurry up and eat these things.
So, I've only got a few left.
I'm addicted to miracle fruit.
The idea with this is,
the idea is you roll it around your mouth,
you gotta suck on it till there's nothing left.
Tastes pretty good.
And by the end of it, I'll be able to drink vinegar.
This is gonna be really good.
Hi, mom. - Hey, Chris.
- [Chris] Come on in.
Okay, so you're not allowed to go into the kitchen.
I need you to go sit down over there.
Say hi to everybody.
- Hi, everybody, I'm Chris's mom.
- [Chris] I told them that already.
(laughing)
Just go ahead and have a seat.
You got all your makeup on and everything, jeez.
Pull your chair in.
First thing's first, I'm gonna put a blindfold on you
for this challenge, make sure you can't see anything.
Can you see anything? - No.
- Okay, hold on, don't move.
Okay, take off the blindfold.
Here's your challenge.
(gasping)
- What are you doing?
- All right, so this whole video, mom,
is basically I got asked to do a challenge
by my friend, Peter McKinnon,
and it's basically Lemons for Leukemia,
and so for a cause, you have to eat lemons.
Basically, the more lemons you eat,
the better it is for the cause, all right?
Do you enjoy lemons?
- Not really.
- All right, so we're gonna have to eat these all.
Are you ready? - Yes.
- All right, let's start eating them.
- Holy shit!
(coughing)
- Pretty good.
Actually, you can just suck on them.
You don't have to actually eat them all,
but you have to finish this.
These are quite delicious.
- It's so much fun.
- What do you got, two now?
I'm on my third.
She's eating them all, look at this?
Is that good?
That's good.
How are those lemons tasting?
- Horrible, oh God.
- Hmm, that was a good one.
Got a couple left here.
- Just a minute.
- These are the most delicious lemons
I've ever had in my life.
Keep going.
- Oh my God!
- Keep going, mom, you're doing great.
Just suck them, you don't have to eat them.
My mom's a savage.
Ah, I think I'm all done with mine.
You got some catching up to do.
Keep eating them, I'll be right back.
- Oh my God, this is horrible.
- Are you done?
You don't have to eat that last one.
She ate two entire lemons.
Was that delicious?
Do you know what miracle fruit is?
- No.
- Oh, it's really interesting.
So, miracle fruit is basically this little pill.
It's made of a fruit, and it blocks
your bitter and sour receptors.
So, it makes lemons taste like oranges.
- Why didn't you give me that before?
- Oh, 'cause I ate them all.
There are none left.
- Oh, that's funny.
(laughing)
- So yeah, those are the most delectable oranges
I've ever tasted in my life.
- Thank you, Chris.
- Oh, you're such a good sport.
- Thank you, I love you.
- I love you too, mom.
This wouldn't be a Chris Ramsey video
if there wasn't a magic trick attached to it.
- No more lemon stuff?
- No more, no more eating lemons.
All right, so mom, I want you to,
here, first of all, I got this other bowl of lemons.
Just take whatever lemon you want.
Give it to me.
And I want you to, let's do this,
think of a playing card.
You got one?
I want you to change your mind completely, change your mind.
Change your mind again.
And now I want you to think of a card.
You got it?
For the first time, what card were you thinking of?
- Five of hearts.
- The five of hearts?
And you chose, out of all these lemons,
you chose this lemon here?
All right, this is for Lemons for Leukemia,
'cause you're supposed to actually
take a bite out of an entire lemon,
so here I go.
That's gross!
Delicious.
- There's a card.
- There's a card inside this lemon that you chose.
It's rolled up here.
Inside the lemon, look at that mom,
the card that you just thought of.
- Are you serious?
(laughing)
- The five of hearts! - Holy shit.
I never thought that.
- Pretty cool, eh?
And just so they're all aware, you're not in on this.
I know you're my mom and you 100%
be the best stooge in any of my videos,
but we didn't set anything up,
I didn't tell you to think of this card, did I?
Okay, there you have it.
All right, guys, thanks for watching.
Also, this movement, Lemons for Leukemia is very important.
It basically raises awareness for leukemia
and bone marrow transplant and donation,
so I've left a link below where you guys can check out
and find out where you can donate
and find out more about this cause for leukemia.
So thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed it.
Mom, tell them to like this video.
- Please like the video.
- My mom ate two full lemons.
You better like this video.
And don't forget to subscribe if you're new here
and we'll see on the next video.
Oh, and before, I gotta nominate three people,
so I nominate Eric Eclaire, Wess Barker, and Mike Boyde
to take up the Lemons for Leukemia Challenge.
Thanks for watching, guys, peace.
Thanks, mom. - Bye.
- Bye.
- I can't believe you really that stuff?
- This?
- That's horrible, and you made me eat the lemons.
Crazy!
- Magician's always got tricks up his sleeve, mom.
How well did you think I was handling
eating those lemons?
I didn't even eat them, by the way, I just sucked them.
- Mine's eaten.
- You completely downed those lemons
like your life depended on it.
- But it's good you make that movie for leukemia.
I'm glad, 2009.
- You had stage two leukemia in 2009
and you overcame it.
With treatment.
- Yeah, now it's gone.
- I'm so proud of you, I love you.
- I love you too.
