- Wow, okay.
What's up guys?
And welcome back.
Today is the giveaway day.
Today is the video that I'm going to be doing
the biggest giveaway that I've ever done on this channel.
Before I begin I want to say thank you to
I want to say thank you, thank you to everybody
subscribed to all you people supporting
to people getting into magic and puzzles
because of this channel and writing me and DMing me,
and messaging me and emailing me.
The amount of positive vibes that this channel's created
is overwhelming.
Let me adjust this a little bit.
There we go.
So the way that I've always looked at YouTube
is who am I?
Is a question.
Who are you?
It is just a question you can't answer.
No one can possibly describe themselves accurately, fully.
We'll always fall short to describe who you are.
And one of those reasons is I think
that we all know deep within us that we have
this greater potential and to verbalize that
to put that into words for someone is just impossible.
So we abbreviate it with I'm this and I'm this.
And I do this and I like this.
And I've always thought everybody has this potential.
Everybody has this with, inside them.
It's just like something innately built within you
that you're meant for greater, that you're meant for more,
that you want to do more, and we all live
with that every day.
If I don't share that part of me then who will?
And that's how I feel about all the creators
and artists in the world.
Is that they're showing the world who they are.
YouTube just allows you to do that day after day
which I think is wonderful.
Cause I think everybody deserves a platform to share
who they are and has their own potential
and obviously if you don't share that,
then who will?
It's kind of been one of my mottos in life
is prove you exist.
And it sounds funny, counterintuitive like
how can you prove you exist?
But it's not meant to be funny.
It's meant to remind myself that I have a story to tell.
Just like you.
Just like everybody else.
And I choose to tell my story here.
And some of you choose to listen to it which is awesome.
And so I just want to thank you guys for that.
Allowing me a platform to tell my story.
So, giveaway.
Okay, before we get into the prizes though,
I've got uh, I've got some mail.
Speaking of like you're support and everything else.
I'm gonna do a little bit of unboxing today.
Oh my God.
Look at this.
Holy.
Check this out.
Oh, wait can we line it up?
How crazy is that?
That's a charcoal drawing by the way.
I ran that contest awhile back on Instagram
for fan art and this was one of the winners.
You said your mom was blown away
when she saw this drawing so that's the reason
I send you the drawing.
It's for you or for your mom.
I hope you'll enjoy it.
A Nick DeGator.
Thank you so much.
That is...my mom's gonna lose her shit.
Let's open another one.
Oh, that's cool.
Check this out.
Someone sent me a puzzle.
Who is this from?
Hi Chris, aww
I'm a 12-year-old boy that likes your magic and channel.
I've seen that you're really good at puzzles
and I've had this ring puzzle at home for a long time now.
It'd be very cool if you could have a look at it
and maybe solve it in a video.
Thanks.
It has no name, no return address, no nothing.
Just simply it says here, oh, this is cool.
It says here on the envelope
P.S. Never stop what you are doing.
That's amazing.
I will solve this one day.
This is cool I unwrapped this the other day
and I thought you guys might get a kick out of this.
It came with a nice letter.
And the letter reads something like this.
Chris I ordered this and let it sit around
for a few weeks before deciding
that I'm not gonna have the patience for this.
I was really hoping that maybe you could put it
to good use.
Possibly featuring it in one of your videos.
Anyways it looks really cool and of course
I'm subscribed to you and enjoy your videos very much.
Thanks Cook.
So, thank you Cook.
And he sent me this.
Check this out.
That's like a do it yourself, DIY puzzle box.
That you got to build yourself.
I don't know if I would build this in a video
but if that's something you guys want to see
let me know below.
Looks quite complicated.
But it could be kind of cool to see the process
of building one of these and how this puzzle box works
from the inside.
But thank you so much.
(clapping)
Giveaway.
(laughing)
Alright you guys time for the giveaway.
So to enter this giveaway very simple,
as with the other contests on this channel,
they are hosted by gleam.io.
Gleam there's a link to it below.
All you do is click on that link
and what happens basically is there are
different tiers of prizes all sorts of different prizes
and to win all you have to do is follow the instructions.
So everything you do, every, it's sort of like a checklist
and everything you complete you get points
and the more points you accumulate that goes
into like this big basket and then you have
more chances of winning one of the prizes
the more you participate.
So that's kind of how it works.
It's not much to ask.
And if you win, I mean obviously you've not done much
you've just clicked buttons here and there
and won some really cool
so...
You know I forgot to mention
the winners of the contest will be chosen
on July 26th.
So the prizes are as follows.
There is the vlogger kit prize.
(popping)
With the vlogger kit prize is actually a Cannon M50
supplied to me by Cannon for this giveaway.
So thank you folks at Cannon.
This is basically your entry level vlog camera
if you've ever wanted to vlog or be on YouTube
but never had the budget for a camera.
I mean this camera's actually pretty cheap considering
it shoots in 4K.
It has that flip screen.
All sorts of really cool features.
So a really good entry level vlog camera.
Another prize is some of my personal puzzle collection.
(popping)
I've amassed this massive puzzle collection
and I have no room for all these puzzles.
They're kind of getting in the way at this point.
I've selected a few that I've kept and for the rest
and you might have seen me solve these on this channel.
I'm gonna sign a couple of them and give them away.
So there's a whole box with puzzles and some
of these are worth up to $500.
Whoever wins the used puzzle giveaway prize
will get all of these puzzles
which is pretty neat.
I'm also giving away a $200 gift certificate
to Puzzle Master as well as a $200
gift certificate to Art of Play.
So Puzzle Master hosts all these...they have
all these puzzles.
Most of the puzzles I get are from them.
If they're not from them, they are from Art of Play
which also has a wide selection of puzzles
but also has a really cool, obviously one
of the biggest selections of playing cards.
Also, we're not done.
I will be giving away some 1st Playing Cards.
I have a boat load of 1st Playing Cards
left over for myself.
They're my personal collection.
They are not for sale.
However, I am going to give some of those away.
So instead of giving one person a bunch of cards,
I'm going to divide that up into five.
So five of you can win six decks of 1st Playing Cards.
That's six decks each
(popping)
of 1st Playing Cards.
So we've got the puzzles, we've got the gift certificates,
we've got the vlog camera, and we've got a bunch
of playing cards.
It's kind of my way of saying thank you
for hooking it up for all these years
and for the newcomers for supporting.
Like I said follow the link if you guys
want to take a shot at winning this.
You never know.
You know what?
I'm gonna add something in there.
I'm gonna add in a mixed brick.
(popping)
So this is a brick of cards with all sorts
of brand new decks.
Some of them out of print.
Some of them rare.
I will include a deck of 1st Playing Cards in there
and you're gonna get a custom brick box basically.
Like a whole 12 decks of assorted high quality
rare amazing playing cards.
All that guys is up for grabs.
Just follow the link.
Do all those steps and that type of thing.
That's it for today's video.
I'm actually on my way to Germany.
I leave tomorrow.
I'm pretty stoked.
I'm going back to the village I grew up in
to visit some family.
And I'm gonna give you guys a tour
of where I grew up.
Where little Chris Ramsay was running around
when he was like a baby.
It's a really cool place and it's a...
it holds a special place in my heart.
And I can't wait to share that with you.
So obviously I'm gonna bring puzzles
and playing cards and some magic with me
and perform over there and do some videos.
I'll be vlogging the whole time.
And let you guys sort of in on that experience
which I'm super stoked for.
So guys thanks again for everything.
Really thank you.
Thanks for all the support.
Can't even put it into words.
You guys also all deserve to share
your own potential so hopefully
some of you win these prizes.
It'll set you up for maybe something greater.
We'll see you on the next video.
Peace, crack.
