Karrell Fox - Comedy Magic on The Magic Palace
So beautiful. Rest in peace brother 🙏❤️...
Cool
Charlie does one of his several variations on Jim Ryan's Ring, Wand and Rope!
He's doing amazing stuff but in such a way that like... applause breaks would be awkward. Just naming cards... remote viewing cards. It's a miracle, but the presentation is off. I'm sure he got a big round of applause at the end.
Very good! The way sleight of hand magic should be performed.
Not to be confused with the con man "J Earl Nelson" from Tennessee/Virginia.
That egg bag routine was phenomenal!
3:36 Dear god what a gifted man (hot shot cut)
The good old days, when local TV stations actually produced original entertainment programming, with local faces and flavour.
Your great❤
What a guy!!!
his comedy is like horrible...
not a big fan of this guy
I thought practicing to the perfect what I have learnt some Card tricks I will become a master some day but outsmarting this guy would be impossible 😄👍
Fantastic recovery at the end 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
No on commenting on pick a number between 10 and 20 and she says 9
not very good..
he was great...great one liners as well....
Dude, why are you wearing gloves?!
A history lesson and entertainment all in one.
Drunk
He's not funny.
Wow, I've never actually seen him perform but I have some of his publications
That’s me that he has come up at the beginning to “check his sleeves”.
Very clever.
And this is why Paul Harris is a legend among magicians. And only among magicians.
Miss him in 2024😢
Where can I find this for explanation
His voice was so good! At times he sounded a lot like Rod Serling.
What’s the name of the last card trick?
"Cardboard Chameleons"
Where can find explanation for Karrell fox 3-2-1 rope , is it on a dvd
My ...... GOD this guy was good! I perform an ambitious card routine in my act, but so help me if I could do half the stuff this guy could do! That first move with the jokers, I knew what he was doing but it STILL got me! 30 years as a magician and I still have so much to learn!
It funny…his slights aren’t clean at all and his methods are the simplest there is, yet he’s the close up of the year. It shows you how far preforming has come..because the art form has become more important than the deception.
CRAP magician! Thank GOD David Blaine came along and showed REAL magic!
This guy is a goof ball. Criss Angel walks on water when he performs!
Why does the host of that show always wear black gloves with a tux?
Just saw her on Penn and Teller. Absolutely beautiful! Loved every minute of her act!
They are all picked from a local magic club,it was truly a honor,thank you Mr. blackstone
His style is relatable…”my Volkswagon, with the front fender dinted….that’s mine!”
The spectators are pretty blah
Just for once, I'd like to have it explained how he does that... Incredibly elegant as it is...
ICT <3
Nick is my FIL :-)
That was like what? 12 phases?! 😅
Here's a guy who learned magic to pick up girls. He succeeded with the magic at least. That's some really clean card manipulation, very impressive. Chatting up girls? Not so much.
Slick! Great patter and handles volunteers well. Why is it that people who sit at magic tables sometimes never seem to have any idea what's going on. Excellent routine.
Yah, nobody puts their head in a spectators lap like Don Alan.
so good . his rhythm and timing
I like the highly similar illusion where the (usually male) magician is "trying" to escape from a straight jacket while two audience volunteers hold up a curtain in front of him. And, every time they loosen their grip, one of his hands grabs the top of the curtain rod as he says "Please, keep it about here." But, only the audience seems to notice that!!! 🤣
Smooth as silk.
She’s not digging it lol Creepy as fuck, but great magic
