I really wanted to hear Motorhead on the violin to pull the ace of spades
+fudrock dude i thought the same
Yeah, that was most disappointing thing about that show. :D
+fudrock ...and of course now...RIP Lemmy.
fudrock exactly my thought.!
Haha me too
Fooled me! I'm really enjoying this show, it's very unique in that's it's so positive no matter what the outcome. Unlike talent shows which are degrading to people, Penn + Teller are always very positive and encouraging no matter if they know how it's done or not, and that just makes the show that much more enjoyable to watch!
TIL youtubers watch youtube
TIL Redditors comment on youtube
That's because Penn and Teller judging other magicians is only a hook not the premise of the show which is to invite the best magicians to perform the best tricks for the whole world to see. Winning the trophy is really just a cherry on the top.
Well said matt
WHERE did the violin go?!?!?
You may not have fooled them, but that was an awesome performance for the rest of us. The juxtaposition of classical music and illusion, I like it, almost an homage to the great early magicians.
+Jason Flay Thank you!
That was flawless.
This man is a wizard.
Hope you feel better.
Wow a video on youtube with HD in the title that is actually HD!? That definitely fooled me!
One of my favorite performances ever on this show!
Thank you!
Excellent articulation and professionalism! It is a perfect marriage to your performance arts.
This was one of the most memorable and elegant routines I've ever seen on Penn and Teller. I absolutely love it! Never stop doing this routine!
Thank you! That's why I wanted to do this bit on their show.
Watched this version of the show again and i stand by what i saw and again i can say, very well done Chris. Thanks for sharing,
Likeable guy, great voice, and good confidence. If he ups the complexion of the tricks, I have no doubt he can get very far in the business.
+Victor Kyrg Thanks a ton!
He’s not doing so bad for himself now
Mr. Funk I don't care that you didn't fool P & T bc your illusion and your entire performance was just so wonderful. Thanks so much for creating so much joy :-).
I was hoping that he would pull out a guitar and start rocking to 'ace of spades' by Motörhead lol
Nik Essa had the same thought
Playing "Ace of Spades" on a violin would have been the greatest trick of all.
It's the only card I need \m/
I believe your humorous way of combining everything together, it the best part in your act. Absolutely
This was very entertaining!
Felt really sad about your injury though, hope you get better.
+Pucadupr Thank You! Feeling much better now thanks.
+Chris Funk awesome!
+Cracksafe Thank You
I love how well you performed this. Even though I'm no magician, I'm usually able to see how routines on this show are performed. Though I have my guesses, yours is one of only a handful that I can't actually see through. I hope you'll continue to get better and that I'll get to see you live one day.
His voice is so deep, lovely. 👌
Just watched it again. GREAT!
Thanks James!!!! Hope you're keeping well! Let's do a stream together in the new year!
+Chris Funk. you are a fantastic idea can't stop watching this and my little boy loves watching your magic tricks
This is perfect, I've been watching a lot of the new season (3) and it all feels the same. I can't believe I missed this from last season. Beautiful.
That was really smart, entertaining and well performed. Bravo Chris.
You're a great magician, brilliant stage presence too!!!
Thank you!
He is good but notice that the 3 people told him their names. Shaun, Tina and Lexi. But when they put their cards back in the deck, He called Lexi ...Lisa
Very classy performance, I loved it. Your sophisticated style and image reminds me of Channing Pollock. I wish you great success.
I really miss this show. was some amazing entertainment. It wasn't like "American Idol" or any of the billions of copy shows. It was always the best of the best magicians in the world going against Penn and Teller. No such thing as a bad act on this show, just whether they got the FU or not.
Penn and Teller are just awesome. between their own act (which I saw in vegas a few times), the show bullsh*it, and this show...... i can't believe they never seem to last on television, yet considering that even the top magiciansin the world worship them, for good reason, god just love them. 40 years in the biz and still top of the charts of magicians. Beautiful thing about them is that they encourage the newcomers to expand on magic (classical and also shock) rather than copy anything.
And Chris Funk's performance was a+++, just another reason why this show should have lasted more than 2 years...... no such thing as a bad "act' on this show, no simon cowell saying "you suck". just people going wow that's awesome (even us amature magicians that know a lot of these tricks still admired how smoothly these people pulled it off even if we knew what they did).
Thanks for the compliment! Glad you enjoyed my 'bit'.
i think the 3rd season starts this month
I realize this comment is old, but it recently came back ^_^
This was great. I really liked it. That's why I love watching this show. It introduces me to so many great magicians I would have never heard of otherwise.
+astrosteve Thanks! So glad you enjoyed it!
It's the player, not the instrument. Excellent routine. Even if you didn't fool them - what a fun presentation! Loved it!
Brilliant performance! Very stylish! I like you character very much! And of course the violin playing! :-) _Have_ to see more of you...
OMG !!!! This was the most amazing act I ever seen. Well done 👍👍😱
love your magic ...
Music was epic...
Thank you for the entertainment 😊
Blessings all the way from Monterrey, Mx!
I love the violin playing was very well incorporated into the trick. I don't think I've seen other magicians use musical instruments. it's very unique and entertaining.
You know a trick is amazing when a audience reacts with "Whoooaa"
Thx!
Do not ever wish this man luck, before a show, by saying "break a leg".
Ive watched a lot of magicians on the show but this is probably the most impressed I have ever been with a routine
Hey man, an awesome show, wonderful tricks. It was also very refreshing to see the magic combined with an actual music performance, even if it took only a couple of seconds. Loved it!
Thanks!
Amazing performance! You are very talented.
Fantastic performance Chris!
Genius but smile so you don't look so nervous. That's the magic l want to see when l wish to be entertained. Loved the violin music too. 🤩
I wished I could smile.... trying to hide how much pain I was still in....
@@chrisfunkmagic Oh dear hope you're better now? 🤩😍😘More of your work in the future please.👏
Love this dudes creations, great effects and well shot videos
you've got a lovely stage presence
HD and 60fps? YOU my friend deserve a like and a sub! Awesome trick :)
Lol. Thanks!
amazing performance Chris funk
+Monish Kyman Thank You!
This was -- and this is NOT a word I use a lot -- enchanting. Genuinely. Beautiful work. Nicely done! :)
Absolutely amazing mate
+cj m Thank You!
Magic and music is both a work of art.
Nice enough presentation to make three intermediate tricks/gimmicks into a nice presentation.
yo... your proformance is flawless . great job man!
Thx!
Lovely! A pleasure to watch! I was crushed when the violin disappeared though. Big fan of luthiery.
+Steve Stout thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! No violins were hurt throughout this routine.
4:29 All that Bach joke, i'm playing it over and over again, still laughing my ass off !!
I literally died when I heard you call her Lisa, she didn’t even flinch.
great performance Chris
You are ridiculously good looking. Very enjoyable and entertaining personality. And your tricks were amazing! I couldn't look away!
you're too kind. thank you!
This was truly a great act. Loved it. The box disappearing took it to another level.
+Cracksafe Thanks! I thought so too!
You know you made it when the comments section don't have any wackos trying to explain how you did it. Loved every single second of it!!
He probably deletes them. It's his channel after all.
This one seems very simple. The vibration of violin strings is very powerful and the glass acts as an amplifier. He had some little piece of rubber or something at max tensile strength just on the edge of releasing. And the vibration from the violin causes it to rise. You can do this yourself at home with a rubber band. He proves this when he puts the deck of the edge of the violin and plucky the string. A few seconds later the card rises as the rubber band releases. You can see the delay caused by the rubber.
ha! interesting theory....
I'm in love with magic what a great proformance
I didnt feel fooled, but I sat back and really enjoyed it. Fun act
Loved the card trick. I am not a magician but had a dream of a neat card trick. If somebody could pull it off would be a great card trick I think. Thanks for sharing
You have a briefcase with a CNC Machine inside that lowers when the lid is closed and can be controlled by a cellphone. You tell somebody you have wrote down a prediction in the briefcase. Then you tell the to take a number of cards and lay them out on the table. As they pick the card you send the signal to the CNC machine inside the briefcase until they have chosen a number of cards. You can either secretly control the CNC machine with your cellphone or have an assistance to send the signals to the CNC machine so it can write down all the cards that was picked. The hardest part of this is creating the CNC machine so it automatically hides when the lid is open and automatically comedown out of hiding when the lid is closed.
Woah this is uncanny. Saw this guy as a kid, really cool.
LOVEEE THIS ACT AND THIS GUY! :))))
one of the best act..
Thank you!
wow the smoothnes of this video
+Christian Sand Thank you!
great act
God bless you always ... good trick
He kinda looks like the guy from DudePerfect
OMG
Duca Moris I literally wrote that and then saw that u had already done it
coby
i just went to the comment section to say that
the tall one
Cody Jones from Dude Perfect. Yeah, I thought the same thing.
This was the best act I’ve seen. Fair play bro
Amazing performance!
Nice it's always cool to see another Funk around the world! I too am a goofy dude...it must be in the lineage
I don't know how you did it but I was puzzled about the Balducci reference, my knowledge of the Balducci method of rising cards is nothing at all like what you did,,,,,,,it was a magnificent and beautiful presentation.
Thanks!
Yeah,I'm stumped
it was entertaining like old high-quality spongebob episodes
Great.. I love magic combine with music..
Cool routine...thank you....I know about the torn Achilles first hand....I feel your pain.....cheers
Yeah... totally sucks!
that was really funny.. especially those conclusions hearts -> love -> romance ... laughed "my ass off"
+sSunbeamM Thanks!
Chris Funk haha i probably changed my profile pice because of this part into "fist bite"
+sSunbeamM Love it!
I saw you with Murray in las Vegas, youre awesome!
Yeah! Thank you!! How've you been???
He's also known for doing amazing trickshots with his friends
I was so entranced by his playing that I at first didn't even notice the king of hearts rising from the deck.
I was blown away by this, legitimately. Every piece of it had me oggling. But at the same time it was obvious that nothing he was doing was HIS creation. How do you expect to fool Penn and Teller with standard tricks, no matter how well executed?
+Shaidyn explain to me how nothing was my creation?
+Chris Funk i really enjoyed the piece you played especially after i thought you couldn't play. you may not have fooled them you couldn't play but you fooled me and took me by surprise, brilliant piece beautiful trick.
+Chris Funk Let's just say choreography was all yours, and very cool as well, but the tricks weren't.
And ultimately it is the tricks that can or can not fool Penn and Teller.
+demran unfortunately, there is more to TV magic than most people know. What you see on tv is chosen by producers. Not the Magicians. I'm glad you liked the choreography. That is usually my focus. Not the 30 second payoff as most magicians are doing this day and age. I've fooled them before. Check my other videos for that. I just wanted to entertain them. And perform my favourite routine. Fooling or not. I know they truly appreciated it.
Chris Funk Oh well, the choreography was fantastic. And the tricks you have chosen were most definitely some of the more "supernatural" feeling tricks out there, therefore really a delight to the eyes.
And to be fair if you were actually disappearing stuff, and flying cards without any tricks, you wouldn't be there, you would probably be known as the next Messiah with your own new Religion lol :)
I think what Shaidyn meant was though, for the soul purpose of Fooling them, one must come up with their own trick from scratch, that no one else knows, which is extremely difficult of course.
Funk you are really amazing.
Thanks Arun!!
my pleasure
Loved it.
Good looks, funny, talented.
. . . One out of three ain't bad!!
: )
Beethoven's Emperor Concerto playing in the background when the cards are being picked, fwiw!
+jsh31425 Beethoven's 5th piano concerto, adagio.
I enjoyed that Chris well done
Thank you!
very nice
greetings from Colombia
+Christian Paez Thank you! Greetings from Canada!
I feel so bad for this dude. He got on p&t and the thing he remembers most from the gig is that he forgot the ladies name.
I hoped motörhead ace of spades for the song XD but the trick was great!
thought the same thing,,, R.I.P Lemmy
my thoughts exactly
It doesn't matter to me that he didn't fool them bc his illusion/presentation was just sooo unique and beautiful and wonderful. Bravo Chris Funk!
P.S. you you get extra credit for the Bouree😊
If you look closely there was a cut made by the producers when he says - Sean I want you cut half of the cards at 1: 45
Cool you gave MJ a shout out on that
I know how the violin disappeared with the cage, but I don't know how the card tricks were done. All I can think is, there is obviously some sort of mechanism in the card box. But brilliant trick.
i can't think about anything now but my ache lies tendon balling up in my leg after snapping... ahhhhh fucking nightmare fuel.... lol
Awesome! Any chance of doing Chicago shows anytime soon?
Really excellent charisma.
0:39 OUCH!!! you can hear the snap...
That's his hand hitting the floor silly.
In the video of the snap, it is my achilles snapping.... not my hand.... It was super loud.
Omg.... brutal! Glad you healed up!
I give this performance 4/4
Excellent trick!
Thanks!
This is something I've wondered, and asked elsewhere but never received an answer... when you perform on this show, do you then have the rights to air the footage of yourself however you wish? I ask because 90% of the performers on this show upload their performance and most of them, if not all, make money off their channel. It seems weird to me that super-stingy networks would allow that. Anyway, excellent show full of (well timed!) humor and sarcasm, props on coming back after the injury and subscribed.
so so so cool!
I was hoping the ace of spades would end up on the bow like a card sword. great job!!!
Ha, I used to end it with a card sword idea with my bow!
Chris Funk if norm Nielsen hadn't of came up with his signature floating violin and bow that would've been awesome for an addition , but hats off to the great norm neilsen and his magic.
Nice to see this after watching you & pals on a Chris Ramsay video, and of course that 5 minute, grueling "1 word answer" interview!
Listening to the beautiful "Emperor" piano concerto, forgot I was supposed to be watching this guy ha
