      For most tricks I want to know how they work - but with this performance I don't care, I just lean back and enjoy. It's simply perfect! :-)

      @@shaheenbekk he forces a card on them. It's a form of manipulations you have the desired card being the "obvious" card to pick. The rest is just palming and showmanship. It is expertly done though

    Every time I see you perform, it amazes me how you have the public in your grasp. Everything is perfectly done, seamlessly, controlled, as if everything is as natural as breathing. You, sir, are a top artist and really excel at your work. I can't get enough of your magic (and videos).

Keep being you, you magnificent beast of a human.

If you ever come to Canada or the Seattle area I will be sure to be one of the guys in the front row! I am subscribed to your channel and your newsletter and can't WSAIT until the stuff is over so I can see you live and in person!!! God bless Chris Hannibal and thank you for the enjoyment you have shown me through these videos.

    I haven't been on your channel for a bit but I am long subscriber. Love watching your classic acts you did years ago. You're so talented especially at closeup magic. It truly seriously never gets old. I hope you're coping with this pandemic as I have. You've inspired me to start learning basic card tricks. You're still making a difference. I also would close my eyes and lay down with the window cracked open with the cold breeze blowing in and listen to you reading your book. It truly relaxed me. CZcamss algorithms haven't been displaying your videos like it used to me but it did this time. Please keep working on your magic and I hope to see a new trick soon and hoping to hear you read so e passages out of your book. I know I've seen this video before, but I've never seen it this long before. Keep up the amazing energy you give off, this quarantine has been making me so depressed and feeling so so worthless. I'll be honest, I wanted to end my life last week and I went on CZcams to find a song to end my life with to make it dramatic. However, one of your videos popped up since I am a subscriber, and I don't know why, but my mind clicked on your video and just kept clicking on video to video and eventually I felt better. You truly truly truly saved my life in an emotional way. Thank you Hannibal, I know it sounds kinda cheesy but you really made a difference. I'm still a depressed person as I suffer from depression, but I'm happy that you're here, sticking it through with all of us and just you being a humble person. I hope you can make a difference in other people's lives and maybe, just maybe save another person as you have saved me. God bless you.

    I've watched all ur performance vids and really enjoy watching ur act. I really find how u incorporate love and good memories and the want to uplift very appealing and seemingly quite different than other acts. I always laugh at ur quick wit and one liners, funny I guess most people at the shows are so into what's going on with the cards or the cups that they miss what u say once in a while. My favourite set u did was at that bar with the limes. That one u did with the cups at that hall was pretty funny too. I realize u are successful, but I wish u continued success.

    notice the majestic moove he did here... in the moment where he makes the "mistake" like "oops, it was the 10th card instead of the 11th card" he gave the audience, what all audiences in magician shos are looking for... they want to see the magician make a mistake, they want to catch him, they want to win, they want to say "we're smarter than you" not because they are bad people, just because is human nature.
    he than, proceeds to give the public what they want... only for them to realize... is not what they truly want... he gives the taste of "he made a mistake" to the audience, and the audicence realizes that this s not at all what they wanted, they wanted to be tricked, they ust didnt know that.. and once he prooves to them that they want to be tricked, he proceeds to amaze them, by telling every single card in the guys hand...
    and you know how he does that? it is easy to explain, but very hard to do... he acctuly knows the position of EVERY CARD I NTHE DECK... yes, you read that right, he knows exactly where every card in the deck is... because this is a necessary thig for magicians who do card tricks to learn, it is easy to explain... but VERY HARD TO DO, having to memorize 52 cards, and with only a glimpse, remember the position of ech one of them, one could acctuly call that, in fact, MAGIC!

    I've posted this comment on another channel that has your favorite trick: Not only do you look like a cross between Jack Black and Orson Welles, but also like a mix between two very good friends of mine. The real mind-boggler though: neither of them looks anything like Jack Black or Orson Welles. So the only logical conclusion I can form from this is that you're a real magician...
