Thank you so much for using our cards! Loved the video! We did make these with USPCC so hopefully they broke in a little better. ❤️
I love Chris struggling to decide which of his hundreds of playing cards to choose from.
That struggle is real haha!
Well...
I love Chris._
A problem i would like to have
So glad to see these types of videos from you again. There is so much value in this video to help anyone who pursues this craft. Thank you Chris
Chris: "I'm gonna give you the video... no one asked for."
Community: "we are happy to prove you wrong on this one."
Seriously really enjoy these types of video from you glad to see you put out another one
This was honestly your best video. I by no means have any ambitions of becoming a professional magician or anything, but I’ve always been fascinated by sleight of hand magic and have been trying it for the last few months. I’ve been watching your videos to give it a shot because you explain steps the easiest and best way to comprehend.
It’s nice to know that if I keep practicing the right way, eventually it’ll get easier and better. Sleight of hand magicians don’t get enough credit, this is hard as ****. Thanks for the encouragement Chris!
Damnnn i missed this type of videos. I remember watching your tutorials like two years ago and it brings me so much joy to see the tutorials again. Ik you probably wont see this comment but eversince i saw your videos i went from messing up double lifts do being able to do bootom deals and the slipshift. Thank you for all the content you put up
Plsss upload more videos like this!! They are so good and relaxing to watch, also helps making me realise again how good this art is and how much passion and hard-work goes in it
As someone who has tried and failed to make magic a career, this video is absolutely the most valuable one for me out of all of them. Thanks so much, Chris. Keep 'em coming.
I just wanted to say that I share all the sentiments shared in this video.
I started my sleight of hand journey a few years ago, but I wished this was a video that came out back then for me when I started out to let me know that it was going to be okay.
Everything ended up okay, but I am so happy and glad that if new magicians come across this video that they will see it takes a lot of work and practice to improve sleight of hand.
Thank you kindly! I hope you have a glorious day!
Thank you so much for this Chris! For those that have the want and passion to this timeless art - this video is gold.
Great video Chris, thanks for the tips. I practice for fun, and to get the occasional reaction from my co-workers and clients, as well as my kids, but I don't take it seriously, it's just fun for me. The more I learn and practice the though, the more and more respect I have for the people who do it WELL. Watching people perform I see more and more, and often even if I can see how something was done, the execution of it is beautiful.
I love how you shout out other magicians and sleight experts. You're a good guy Chris. Stay inspiring:)
Glad to I saw this video, now I can address you properly!
Lord Ramsey, I caught one of your video's a few years back. Can't pull the name of the tirck, but learnt a 3 card tirck from you, and a few others. Did it for my niece a year ago; she started school so haven't seen her as much.
Sister and co came over yesturday. My Niece was digging down the odds and sods draw everyone has.. and picked out a deck of cards. Came straight to me and asked for some magic!
I'm no where near good, but practiced enough back then to remember it now! Shocked myself, and the little one!
Much love to you for helping an uncle bond with his niece! and the best bit, having fun!
This is THE BEST magic video I’ve watched recently. A lot of these tips I’m aware of and I’m sure a lot of people are, but the fact that practice is only practice if you’re putting in work is something that should never be forgotten 💯
Loved this video, loved the breakdown of the process, the failure and acknowledging the dopamine shots. Truly a work of art and the best of your content and what you stand for in a nutshell. Thank you so much, wish this gem got more views!
bro i needed to hear this it's the little big push we need you're the best chris.
I absolutely love these types of videos that will get into the details. Thanks for always making awesome and engaging content!!
Man I'm so glad you finally got back into making magic video's. 🎩 I love the puzzles, I actually have around 20 something cast puzzles because of you. Thanks again
Thanks for sharing your insights about practicing ! 🔥 The video is very motivating and supports all of us through our journey in the dexterously challenging world of sleight-of-hand. I've been into magic for 4 years now... Mostly due to your channel Chris ! When I began I remember how, each week, I was waiting for your entertaining although instructive videos ✨ As for me, I enjoy practicing at night listening to some lofi and the struggling usually turns into an appealing moment of relaxation. Moreover I like the calmness and the serenity provided by these practice sessions... Anyways, even if some moves seem challenging we are on the right way ! We can do it ( yeah, even the riffle fan or the perfect faro I guess...)
This is what we're here for my man, thank you for the video!
I remember ordering my first deck of cards from amazon 3, 4 years ago to start learning magic. I ordered a deck with chess pieces on it because of the memories chess brings to me with my and my dad. Then I get on youtube to try and find some things to start learning and I come across your colored monte video and knew that was the the first thing I wanted to learn. Then I find out the deck I ordered was actually the deck you put out with Daniel Madison and i continue coming across more and more of your tutorials soaking it all in. Then I see your video on the Bertram Change and it was the first thing that made me go "I HAVE TO LEARN THAT!" And I've been in the rabbit hole ever since!
I found this channel while looking for reviews of Card College. Glad I did. What an entertaining fun and informative guy/clip! Ty, Chris!
Definitely needed this, thank you for the video
Great vid. Exactly the kind of content I have been missing from you👍
I loved this video. So much helpful information with practical application. Thank you!
Thank you very much for this video. I really appreciate you showing the stuff other normally don’t. And seeing you dropping cards, struggling with books and fighting with that feeling of being useless gives me a lot of hope that one day i will be better both in magic and cardistry. Best regards from Poland
The Last Statement was truly beautiful. Thx for the inspiration the past years!❤
Thank you Chris you keep my love for magic alive and thriving
This was so great! I loved seeing you practice process and you proved some really useful starting points and tips! Thank you!
I love the closing part where you talk about using practice as a form of meditation, to improve.
I can't seem to get my mind to slow/quiet enough to do traditional type meditation, but have found (after way too many other roads and wasted time) something that should have been more obvious, that practicing something you enjoy and truly want to learn, is an act of meditation as well.
I had probably heard something to that effect before, but as with a lot of things, we don't tend to heed advice when given as we don't have the vantage point to see the wisdom in the advice until later.
I hope others will try this. It doesn't have to be cards, it can be any skill you enjoy and want to learn or get better at.
Thanks for this Chris . You and Daniel, got me into sleight of hand. I like the puzzles but this is awesome to see again!!!
I found this video just now and This is one of my favourite videos of you from now on, cause I can relate to it,i can relate to my idol! Which is the best😌🥺❤️
Very helpful!!! Encouraged me to start my practise
Getting back into cards and I needed this video. Thank you!
I wish u would do some deck reviews. U got alot of interesting cards that me and most ppl haven't seen. Love the content, keep up the great work my guy. Cheers
hey chris love your stuff! thanks for all the tips for magic
Great video. A few years ago your vids brought me back to magic after a very long break. You opened up a world that was more than the "canned magic" I had encountered. It has been a great journey of discovery mixed with several sore muscles and a few fingers rubbed raw as I have learned and practiced new slights. Thanks for reawakening the passion and showing what magic can actually be.
keep doing this Ramsay! Loved it!
This might not be the most popular kind of videos, but it's very much needed for people struggling their way into magic/Cardistry or anything that involves hours of commitment and practice. I really enjoyed it 👌
This was very helpful. Thank you!
Watching while practicing. Thanks for uploading!
Loved it. Keep it coming!
So much appreciated - great video man 🃏♣️🤘.
Cheers for sharing 🙏
Great words of wisdom. I usually put on some music handle my trees and focus. Theres no other meditation form like it once u become attatched to what u are doing.i guess just like cards its relaxing. People out there should try it. Love ur videos !
I always enjoy your videos and I always learn something from you. I truly appreciate the content of your videos and the time you take to make and share them with all of us. Thank you
Love to have the magician I first followed back, missed these kind of videos about magic from you, keep it up
I'm buying cards tomorrow. This video is badass dude. Thank you!
I'm literally writing down new vocabs from this video to improve my English haha. Haven't seen you express your thoughts about magic for a long time. Glad that you made this video.
Thanks Chris. This video hit me at the right time 😃
So glad I'm not the only one that finds some of the books instructions pretty daunting to understand 😅
These recent video have been so good lately, good stuff Chris and keep it up. Love all the content
St Jerome's quote : good better best never let it rest till the good gets better and the better gets best! I was taught that when I was a young boy and my father was opening a restaurant from America on Barbados island . From a entrepreneur helping us build this restaurant in Barbados. And it stuck with me my whole life
Hi Chris, just wanted to say a thank you for the entertainment over lockdown. It was very much appreciated to see and hear normal, fun, calm and real while the rest of the world was doing weird. Thank you x
Damn that part at the end about thinking you’re the worst in the world, and being happy with your craft takes time really hits home
Sounds like a foreword for your book. Inspiring not just magicians but content creators, you are, how they say, the GOAT!!
I Really Appreciate All The Content You Create🔥
Thank you, Chris, this was a really fun video and I enjoyed it as I do all your card magic, cardistry and card collecting videos. I try and practice at least an hour to an hour and a half every day, but at my beginner level, for the last 3 months, I have only been focusing on things like the Charlier Cut, the Scissor Cut, the Revolution Cut, the Thumb fan, the Ribbon spread, the spring and dribble, the Riffle shuffle, the Faro shuffle, the Sybil and I just added to my repertoire the Thumb cut. I learned how to do all of them from you and others right here on CZcams. I have to say that the Map of the Hands, and the Map of the Deck at the beginning of the Giobbi book you have, is also included in every volume of his Card College series both in the front and back of the books, which to be honest I am very surprised you didn't mention as they are considered to be among the best books out there for slight of hand card magic. I am also a huge fan of Daniel Madison and I am a proud Malliance member. My favorite cards on the market are yours, Daniel's, You and Daniel's: Knights, Dan and Dave's smoke and mirrors, and strictly for practicing, the Fournier cards by Lee Asher. Those cards take a huge amount of breaking in, like months worth, but the Fournier cards stick together so that I can practice all my cuts without the cards sliding all over the place. They work much better than Cardistry blocks. Anyway thanks again for this great video, and I look forward to your next one.
Thanks Chris!! Good info, now for the practice!
I really enjoyed it, and I'm not into doing magic
but, I do teach bagpiping and I'm taking a few
ideas from here to my lessons.
Thanks.
TIL - A great magician spends more more time on his knees picking up dropped cards...
...than he will ever spend actually performing.
Great vid, me Laird!
thank you chris i really was needing that thx
Really enjoyed the video. In my opinion one of your best videos in a long time. Wish their were videos like this when I 1st got into learning magic.
I don't know about most, but this is exactly the type of content I'm looking forward to. Loved it, Chris.
Thanks for sharing this kind of stuff 👌👌👌
Heeyyy I've missed these. Thank you Chris!! Oh, and I love your Jeki Yoo pillow LOL
Where did you get it??
Richard Turner's instructional videos are amazing! Plus he's an amazing individual.
Love your vids Chris. I’ve learned a couple tricks from you and thank you
Awesome Vid Chris! Definitely prefer these vids
Love this video Ramsay nice clean second deals!
After having enjoyed watching tons of magic videos for a couple of years I decided recently to buy The Royal Road to Card Magic and a couple of decks and give it a try. And as you say it can be really hard to get a grip on sometimes. Often it's just one tiny word that I accidentally skimmed over while reading, that was really important for doing it right. The illustrations often help exposing those mistakes, but I am very thankful for the plethora of CZcams channels available where I can get a better visual aid for the rest that I missed.
Enjoyed this video Chris. “Meditative” is a good way to explain the process. I also refer to it as Zoning in”. Another good tip is to set up your eye level video just atop a 3 way mirror. Allowing you to check your side angles while filming and then looking back to see how your eye level opponent/spectator view looks via playback.
I also like to film straight into my laptop camera, with the lid of the laptop pointing down (eye level) then running a line out from the laptop to a monitor.
Congrats on all your success. I hope we get a chance to hang out one day. I’m an old friend of Tony Disanto’s from the MTV days. And have a book coming out called Million Dollar Mechanics. Steve forte is writing the forward. I’m from the gaming world, so most magicians don’t know me, but I love the art and of magic, and greatly appreciate people like yourself who work to keep it exciting and relevant. Peace. ….ps good job on those deck switches! ;-)
I've been subscribed for more then 5 years and I missed these kind of videos
Thanks you
Refreshing. Thanks.
Your magic videos are always MY favourites.
16:16 that trick is awesome, the way you throw that card is so smooth 😍💓
"Practice doesn't make perfect, Perfect practice makes perfect" That was a quote my band teacher would say!
I was always very inspired by your videos about Card Magic. They gave me courage and hope. I thought it was a pity when you stopped and only made puzzle videos. The nicer it is to see such a video again.
Very happy to see you back in card magic !!!!
Here is ideas for a next video : what should I learn when ? There is so much stuff to learn but in which order ?
Also how to avoid finger pain (mostly pinky) ?
As a beginner, this is actually one of the most helpful videos in "aboot" (mimicking Crhis's Canadian accent) 3 months of OBSESSIVELY watching card magic tutorials. Keep up the great work, I have learned so much from you already!
I didn't ask for this... but it is necessary and well received. I think a lot of this also applies to cardistry and many other things. I am just an amateur that does this just for fun and learning about it just gives me a deeper appreciation for the craft. When I started I never thought I would even get to the level of being able to do the basics, but I practiced playing with cards while on zoom meetings, and waiting for software builds. This helped me gain some of the small skills a little at a time, and made it easier to learn some of the basics. I also think it's worth noting that card condition can be very important, for some tricks/flourishes/cadistry, having a beat-up poop deck can make things easier to learn, on the other hand some tricks/flourishes/cadistry, are impossible with a beat-up deck. So if you are having trouble with a particular card tricks/flourishes/cadistry, then try that with a new deck, a poop deck, or a deck that has been droped on the ground and has picked up some dirt so it's a little gritty, and you'll find that some things will be easier depending on the condition of the deck.
Superb video. This aligns with my thinking on practice so much and I wish I could take all of this and condense it into 30 seconds so when I'm asked about magic people could understand the work that goes into it, since they think it's instant satisfaction and don't even know cardisrty isn't magic.
I personally love locking myself in the bathroom for several hours to practice: comfortable, private, good lighting and a mirror with a "table" and power outlet, I don't even need to go anywhere if I need to go to the bathroom 😂.
But even the names at the end are how I learned, I still use some of mismag's tricks, you just need to personalize the presentation.
Nice work, Sir
I first got into magic via the incredibly cheesy Marshal Broden "TV Magic Kit". When I expressed a huge interest in doing magic my dad got me "The Armature Magician 's Handbook" and even though my magic life is long since passed I will still pick it up to relive past glory days. Great book for the beginner. Love your videos and this one was particularly chocked full of good advice. Yes I am sure that this is not everyone's cup of tea but for those who love magic it is a gem! Please keep doing what you're doing.
I've been wanting this video!!
Very eye opening Chris, Thank you for explaining to us how “arduous” learning card magic IS & how “You HAVE to FAIL before you can get better!”
Beautiful content as always!
Thank you Chris
Thanks, good advice ❤
this was the video we all asked for! waiting for more magic
Love this vid. As a non magician this is a very good vid to follow. And the lessons you teach are applicable to most other crafts. Ty for that. Love your vids, they have kept me up longer than i should have been staying awake more than id like to admit. And lets be honest. I am really envious of you, but as an old man you are an inspiration for me to keep on working hard and i might have a bit of lord ramseys luxury in my life. At some point ;D thanks for all the content bro. Keep doing you!
Quote of the day…”these books contain an amazing amount of literature”
I love how genuine and honest you come off as in your videos. I super hope your not a dick in real life. You are the kind of magician I enjoy and what I am trying to at least come close to pulling off. I started by just collecting cards, then thought I should know how to do some tricks if I have this many fancy decks. Weirder yet, I came across your videos cause I am also into puzzles and watched a bunch of videos before I had any idea about the cards or magic on your channel. Seemed to me like it was meant to be. Thanks for hanging out with me man. You have helped and continue to help me through some really difficult shit in my world. More than you will ever know.
This kind of video IS what we need. It may not set records on views, but these will be the most treasured.
That was fascinating-- always have found doing a DL w a brand new deck a bit harder-- now I know what to do!! Also, I have had Giobbi's Art of Deck Switching for over 6 mos and have not read it yet-- ok I have a project now-- going to finally read this fascinating book--Thanks so much CR.
I needed to hear a lot of that advice. Im no magician but just a christian lost in my ways and its been rough. You're so wise and idek if you know it.
Great video as usual, Chris.
The diagram in Giobbi's books are by the great Eugene Burger, (long live his legacy).
For anyone wanting to learn off books, definitely pick up a book stand. It'll make learning off books SO much more manageable.
Amazing video. I'm still learning and definitely a beginner. I've followed you and Madison for a long time. You both teach things to make people better not just for views. Also I'm in awe that you Have a signed deck from Richard Turner and actually got to meet him. He is as mysterious as magic itself.
Well said! 👏🤙
Thank you 🙏🏻!
Love the vibe of this video, as someone who has learned to poi, or spin fire. It is keep on doing it, no matter how many times you hit yourself in the junk. One day you will not hit yourself in the junk anymore, fail till you don't.:)
For me this was entertaining, also I loved to get the knowledge!
loooove the magic vids chris iv been here for sevral yrs u gave me so much threw thick and thin
and love the good knowledge drop
I agre that training and practicing aren't the most exciting things to be done but that's the kind of content I'm the most eager about.
