- What's up guys?
Here at Magic Live with my buddy, Julius Dein.
- What's going on guys, how ya doing?
- And today we are at Magic Live looking for
what are we looking for today?
- We are looking for some of
the best magic tricks in the game,
stuff that's gonna blow people's minds.
There are literally hundreds of magicians
in this room so lots of potential options here.
- Quick note, Julius is now on YouTube,
he's trying to blow the YouTube game up.
His content's a lot different on YouTube,
I can actually watch an entire video (laughing)
- Well that's very sweet of you
- Hey and they're longer so that's actually a compliment.
So you've probably seen his video
with Drake where he collabed with Drake.
So go check him out, I'll leave the link below
and today we're gonna try to find
the best magic trick at Magic Live
and see what we can walk away with.
(rhythmic techno music)
- Yeah, that's incredible.
That is some serious visual magic right there.
I didn't even know that stuff existed on YouTube.
- Give me a finger, turn it back around.
Hold it
with your other hand I want you
to hold on to the top of your finger.
- [Julius] Okay, hold it on.
- So if you don't freak out, if you don't let go
this is impossible, can't go up or down, left or right.
- [Julius] Okay, I'm holding on tight.
- Take a deep breath, count to three, make a wish.
- Ooh!
That is so cool.
That is actually crazy,
wow!
Oh my, wow, that is unbelievable.
That is, that is
- You thought is was a gimmick, didn't you?
- No, yeah.
(laughing)
Yeah, I mean, people actually,
people can't actually use slight of hand
to do these types of tricks, right?
(laughing)
- Sure thing.
Ron Diamond right here.
- Wow, he remembers my name.
You are great!
How do you remember my name so fast?
- [Chris] Ron I heard you got the world's biggest Okito Box.
- [Ron] The biggest.
- [Chris] Is this the greatest trick at Magic Live?
- Absolutely.
- [Chris] Let's see it.
- [Ron] So I'm gonna cover the box nice and slow.
I hope you can see this on video,
can you see this big coin?
- [Chris] I can.
- [Ron] I'm gonna throw it up in the air and vanish it.
- [Julius] Whoa!
- Hello, are you alright?
Is he okay, do we have to call the paramedics?
(gasping)
I'm sorry.
- [Julius] Oh, very nice.
- Do I have to go slow?
I'm from New York, I can't slow it down.
(metal clanking)
So let's take the box, shall we?
And we're gonna cover it up.
Alright, I'll try the big impossible
with a big (thud and metal clashing)
- [Chris] Ah, that's great.
- [Julius] Wow!
- Thank you Chris, always a pleasure to see you.
(slow rhythmic music)

- [Chris] We meet again.
- Check this out.
- [Chris] Do you have, wait!
- I do
- [Chris] Do you have the greatest magic trick
in the convention?
- I do.
- [Chris] This guy says, he claims to have
the best magic trick in the convention.
- Wow, that is a bold statement.
- That's b s,
b s right?
I went to the duty free and I spent $400 on the duty free.
You know, buyers remorse comes to me
but no worries, I can fix it.
If I just snap my fingers like this
I can have again my $400.
- [Chris] What?
- Yes, yes, yes my $400.
100, 200, 300 and 400.
I'm planning to spend with you, baby!
- [Chris] Thank you so much, I always love seeing your magic
(laughing)
- Buyers Remorse, soon in your favorite shops.
- Last night I was hanging out at a party
and all of a sudden I see this guy.
- Hey!
- Mr. Joe Rindfleisch himself.
If you guys don't know Joe, you know what,
I'll link something below to his,
he's got literally the best rubber bands
and the best rubber band handling I've ever seen.
- Two different color rubber bands,
a yellow and a blue.
I'm gonna crisscross them like this,
give it a snap, it changes, changes again.
- [Chris] What?
- Changes again, you see no matter how many times I do it,
it continues to change over and over just like this.
- [Chris] What?
- Now, isn't it cool how the blue X keeps changing?
I'm sorry, my side is blue, your side is yellow.
- [Chris] That's amazing!
- [Joe] Alright guys, ready?
- [Julius] Yes sir.
Like that, okay.
- [Joe] Where ya gonna go?
- [Julius] Wait, whoa, whoa, oh!
- [Chris] What?
- [Julius] Where did that come from?
(laughing)
- Alright so we've got some aces
and we're gonna take those aces
and we're gonna put 'em on the bottom of the deck.
And we're just gonna do a bottom deal
if that's alright with you.
- [Chris] Yep.
- [Trick Performer] Let's see how these look.
And you're at a good angle, too, I like it.
- [Chris] Wow.
So what's the gimmick?
- It's a, we're selling it.
There's a battery in the deck.
- [Chris] Hold on, we got a battle coming up.
- Uh oh!
- [Chris] This guy's like oh you thought that was good?
(laughing)
Watch what I can do, so let's see it,
it better be good.
If you flash, he's going in.
- Four aces on the bottom
and I will cut those into the center
- [Chris] Okay.
- And we'll play a five handed game.
- [Chris] Wait.
- Those are
- [Chris] Yeah I know what they are and where they're from.
That's incredible!
- Thank you man, thank you man.
That I'm selling for half the price of
- [Chris] Yo, did you see that?
That's from the center bro, the center
- That's from the center?
- [Chris] Of the universe!
- Wow!
- [Chris] Hi, good day, sir.
- What's happenin' my man, what's happenin' out there?
- [Chris] What's your name?
- Mark.
- [Chris] Hi, Mark.
- Here, did you see my glass?
You take any glass, show it, take your finger,
just come right down, just get
the surface tension going
- [Chris] Wait, what?
Wait, hold on, what?
- There ya go, this is what's called
a light drink, a high ball.
There ya go.
- That's a
- [Mark] A high ball.
- [Chris] Did you see what he just did?
- He literally just took his finger,
touched it on the glass and all of a sudden,
it stuck to it and totally examined by and I just
- [Chris] That looks so cool, wait,
don't move, don't move, don't move,
don't move, can you do that?
Alright, you already know this guy.
- Uh oh!
Uh oh!
Hey.
(laughing)
- Oh the glasses, eh?
(laughing)
Funny story actually, I went on TV last week
and he advised me to do a trick where the glasses levatate
and the camera saw exactly how I did it
and I got railed in the press and humiliated
as the worst magician in Britain.
So that's quite funny that he did that
cause I made the glasses levitate.
(laughing)
The funny thing is that he said to me
the day before, he said you know what you should do on TV?
You should mess up the trick completely
and it'll be
- That's actually true!
- Amazing publicity, low and behold I did!
Thank Neil!
- You're very welcome, any day!
(laughing)
Name out loud any card you like.
- [Chris] Two of spades.
- Ten of spades?
What'd you say? - [Chris] Two of spades.
- The two of spades, have a look at this,
come down here.
(excited laughter)
Who is this guy?
- You've got 52 fingers.
Terrible joke, I'll see myself out,
sorry it didn't work out guys.
(laughing)
Do you know what I heard?
I heard you can tell a lot about a guy by
the size of his deck.
(laughing)
Yeah let's see a trick.
- [Neil] You've got people with a nice,
regular sized deck
and nice to meet you Chris.
(laughing)
- Yeah, sorry to hear that.
I just noticed that Bicycle has a booth here
and I may or may not have something in the works.
May or may not have the V2 in the works,
but anyways, this is actually
the person who handles my account
which I get to meet and hang out with
and ask questions in person.
So let's go, hey, what's up guys?
- Hey Chris, how are you?
- [Chris] How you guys doing?
- Good, really well. - [Chris] You alright?
What're those?
- [Man Holding Cards] Look at that, how bout that?
- [Chris] Show me the sides!
- [Julius] Yo!
- Only 2500 ever made.
- [Chris] Are you serious?
Wow!
- And in the 2500 are 10 decks with that purple gill.
- [Chris] Randomly?
- Randomly.
We have no idea where they're at.
- What do you think the estimated timeline,
right now of the project that I'm working on would be?
Estimated, like rough ball park,
I will not hold you to it but
- On the locks, right?
- [Chris] Yeah.
- Probably about eight weeks.
- [Chris] Eight weeks, done?
- Yeah.
- That looks like a happy face.
- [Chris] That was a very happy face, thanks guys.

This is it, it's happening.
- We've been going back and forth on Twitter for months now.
Brian?
- Yes sir.
- [Chris] How have things been?
- Dude, it's a wild roller coaster.
It's funny when you, we're in town for Def Con
because we're gonna be there all week
and it's like Magic Live being cozied up,
you can't not come out and say hello to everyone.
- [Chris] Congrats on the Modern Rogue by the way.
- Oh dude, I'm glad you're liking it.
- [Chris] I no, I love it.
It's like, do you remember the Man Show?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah!
- [Chris] It's like the Man Show on YouTube
but like actually, you learn something.
- What I like about it, it's like the Man Show
if the Man Show was a video game
and you unlocked different levels
as you learned different skills.
- [Chris] Good seeing you Brian.
- Love you.
- [Chris] Check out his channel by the way,
all his channels, everything he does.
- Scam School, Modern Rogue.
- [Trick Performer] Three coins,
number one, number two and number three.
Nothing else but three cards and three coins.
Watch the first one, this is how I cover them
not like a crazy magician guy, like a normal guy.
(laughing)
This goes under here, I'll push this up towards you.
These two are gonna jump up here.
Watch, there goes the first one,
it's hard to believe, isn't it?
- [Chris] Wow.
- [Trick Performer] I know what you're thinking,
it's like a Matrix thing.
Watch all three coins, three cards.
- [Chris] Whoa!
(laughing)
- That is beautiful, thanks Mark.
- Always good to see you, my friend.
- Likewise, man.
(rhythmic techno music)
I'm always looking for the best trick at magic conventions
and not sure, but I think I may have found it.
This is Greg Rostami, check this out.
- I would love to show you something cool.
- [Chris] Alright.
- Now Chris, I'm gonna do some magic for you
that doesn't involve any props.
- [Chris] Okay.
- We have with us Mr. Brian Brushwood.
- Hey, I'm definitely not a shell, I swear.
- [Chris] Definitely not a stooge.
- Definitely not a stooge.
- I was just asking Brian, Brian do you know
the birthday of anybody famous other than yourself?
- [Brian] Oh man, I know all the other famous people
who have my birthday.
- Okay, you do.
Right, but here's what we should do.
I want you to think of somebody completely random.
Cause nowadays it's easy, you can just Google
the birthday of anybody you like.
- [Brian] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- So bring out your phone.
- Okay,
yep yep.
- So go into Safari or any browser you got
- And just pick any random
- No actually, I wanna show you something.
When you go into Google - Okay, yeah.
- [Greg] You're in Google already.
- [Brian] Yep, yep. - [Greg] Perfect.
So right inside of Google, right there, okay?
If you type in the words birthday of,
birthday of and you follow it up with
the name of somebody famous, as you know,
it just shows you their birthday.
- [Brian] Sure, sure.
- Now Brian, I've already got birthday of
typed in here already.
- [Brian] Yep.
- But are you thinking of somebody famous?
- Sure, ah.
- [Greg] Don't tell me.
- Oh, oh okay, okay, okay.
- You have somebody? - [Brian] Yep, yep.
- Perfect, you're gonna type in their name,
you hit search, Google will show you their birthday.
Don't show it to anybody, especially Chris.
- Alright, alright.
- Don't show it to anybody, make sure I'm not lookin'.
- Got it and then hit enter?
- [Greg] Hit search, yeah.
- Okay.
- [Greg] Is it already showing you
the birthday of this person?
- It is.
- It is?
Okay, cool.
So what I want you to do now is just read
to me only the month of this person's birthday.
Just the month.
- August.
- August!
Oh man, that's a hard one.
Okay, put your phone away.
- Okay. - Put your phone away, Brian.
Alright, so Brian, give me your hand.
Here we go, I'm gonna say something,
but please don't answer me, just listen
to what I'm saying.
- Okay. - Here we go.
Man, woman, man woman,
you're thinking of a man.
- I am.
- It's 50/50, this is good!
(laughing)
Okay, think about it if this person's
either alive or dead, alive or dead,
the person is alive.
- That's right, that's right.
- Two for two!
This is good!
Alright, you said August.
We know it's a man, we know he's alive.
August, Brian, please don't freak out.
Oh my god, you're thinking of Chris Ramsay.
(laughing)
- [Chris] Now you can freak out.
- Yes!
(laughing)
- Oh, that was amazing!
Ah, yeah pretty good, I guess.
(laughing)
- [Chris] You just saw the latest vlog?
- Yeah. - [Chris] What'd you think?
- I like it, I want more magic though.
- You can be honest, you want more magic?
- Yeah, of course I want more.
- Oh, see?
This is direct positive feedback, I love this stuff.
Hospital magician, part of the round table
at the Chicago Magic Bar, which I'm gonna go check out.
- Good, welcome!
Thank you.
- [Chris] State your name, sir.
- Adrian Ramirez.
- [Chris] Adrian, you brought me something special today,
a custom CR hat
with actual snake skin.
What's the name of the company?
- Mint Creations.
- Mint Creations!
- Yeah, check it out.
- Dude, thank you so much!
Please excuse my voice right now,
I feel like I should be on a radio show.
I'm back, I'm back home, happy to be home.
Oh god, I'm happy to be home.
Vegas is fun, but literally way too draining.
Two, three days max.
I wanted to end this video,
I didn't get to shoot an outro with Julius
and I just wanted to say something here
for you guys watching that you know,
I know how a lot of people might feel
about Julius Dein's work on Facebook and Instagram
and a lot of magicians follow me so they're probably like
well why'd ya, why'd ya collab with him?
Julius is actually a really decent guy.
He's actually a really nice guy
and like, crazy work ethic, way crazier than myself.
I've talked a lot to Julius in the last,
probably the last year and I gave him my thoughts
on what he was doing with the platform
and with magic, especially and since then, man,
I've been watching his content
and there's actual magic being performed
and he's actually willing to learn
and wanting to improve all the time.
So, just wanted to say that right quick
and also, he's got his YouTube channel which he started up.
It's not like his Facebook and Instagram content,
it's actually behind the scenes vlogging stuff
which I really appreciate and I think he does put
a lot of effort, time and work into that
so I just wanted to say give him a shot,
go check it out, if you don't like it,
just don't sub, but if you do, go ahead
and follow his stuff, I think it's pretty interesting.
Also, I wanna say thank you to everybody
who was in that house with me.
All of those dudes are my homies, they're my best friends,
the best friends I could ask for in the world.
I got to see, I got to see what true friendship is
and collaboration and that's why
I do these Airbnb mansion things every few months
because it allows us to connect with people
who otherwise we wouldn't be able to connect with online.
It allows us to collaborate,
it allows us to just have a good time
and to let loose and be creative and form bonds
and friendship and I thought just for me,
that was, it was really fulfilling.
So thank you to all, thank you to all my dudes.
And thank you guys for watching.
I hope, I hope the last vlog wasn't too intense for you.
I hope this one brought you back down.
But guys, thank you so much for watching.
I know this video was long,
I know I'm making it longer right now.
We'll see ya on the next video.
Peace, bye.
