Chris Ramsay smoke pellet
ok! first reply yay
Chris: how to deal with people who ask “how did u do that”
Also Chris: *uploads videos to 3.2 million people explaining how he did that*
I am not! I am a Spy! Muahahaha!!!!
@@Zikuth 😶
Also Chris: "Instead of telling them how I do it, I show another trick... so I tell them to put a coin in their hand behind their back... if you want to see this, check out this other video - links to other video - and..." Damn. Now I'm the person in his example that doesn't learn the trick AND gets drawn into the next trick/video. WELL PLAYED!
"HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!?!?!"
"Do you remember when you were little, and you believed in santa? and then when you learned he wasn't real it took some of the magic out of Christmas? if I tell you the key, it takes some of the magic out of the magic."
Thats exactly what i tell the persistant friends that just want to know how, but dont want to get into magic. "Imagine if i tell you one little secret..but then all magic tricks will be ruined for you..i made the mistake..now i can do all the tricks..but i have no joy seeing magic anymore (LIE)..do you really want to pay that price?"
Most people then then get it and say "oh..no..its ok...but damn.."
Santa isn't real??
@@RocksterOO1 He ruined our lifes
Please teach that trick dude
whenever someone says "how do you do that?" I always reply with "I went to Hogwarts"
When someone asks me if what I do is magic my favorite response is "Depends on what you define magic as" because while there is one big overarching definition of magic, everyone has their own view and definition of what magic really is. Personally, I think that anything that can bring wonder, like card tricks, is magical because it makes people feel great no matter what their mood was. That amazement replaces their previous feeling and you have just magically changed their emotional state and given them something new to try and figure out. Sometimes they'll even be stuck on your trick for a while.
I'm very new to magic but I just wanted to say thanks for these vids. I successfully performed a card force for the first time the other week and the reaction was the best feeling. I've been in a terrible depression for about a year now, due to some awful stuff that happened to me. Pulling off a trick made me feel happy for the first time in a long time. Even better, it made a couple of other people forget about their problems and smile as well. As cliche as it sounds, that's the real magic. Thanks again for your awesome content.
Damn, I don't know why but during your intro, when you say 'Welcome baaaahck' it sounds so laidback.
Which makes me repeat it over and over.
Maybe I'm just weird, but for some reason it makes me see you more like a friend, than a youtuber.
Thanks Chris
You're astonishing - professional - & yet at the same time, your genuinely humble personality is GOLDEN !! You spoke volumes...
I think I agree with you, by giving them something instead of taking something from them, you are creating a much better image of yourself and you will be remembered more for that. You have much wisdom Chris. I enjoy your videos immensely. 😃👍
Him: eplain why you learned magic
Me: I learned it one day when my uncle did magic to me, so i wanted to learn. Then i realized that this will give me something to show to people since im not good at carrying a conversation
Him: Say whether it was to not be shy or to get along with your uncle
GET OUT OF MY HEAD RAMSAY!!!!!!!
Good stuff man, this isn't a topic that I see very much, but it's definitely one that is extremely valuable to have planned in the chance you do get caught in these situations. How you handle something like this can definitely make or break a routine.
''Not to hurt people's sentiments'' You taught a real life lesson which can be carried anywhere. .....
I am not a magician myself but I know a common Russian phrase that can serve as an answer for questions like "How did you do that?" or "Is magic real?" It's "Ловкость рук и никакого мошенничества". Transliterated like "Lovkost rook i nikakogo moshennichestva" and translated as "Sleight of hand and no fraud". I personally really like it.
Good stuff. Someone once said reality is a shared experience shattered by individual perspectives. I like your explanations, you seem to genuinely want to see the moment through their lens and help them enjoy the moment more. Very cool.
I remember I did a simple trick for someone at a collage class once, had the whole class captivated. I finished the trick and the main guy I was showing was reacting and I remember him saying, "Man where did you learn to do that?". The entire class with eyes on me I say, "You-Tube" in an exaggerated flat tone. I've never heard so many people laugh at once. Once the best things I've ever had happen, and it was a simple trick. Magic is wonderful.
Chris, the more of your videos i watch, the more i rekindle the love of magic i had as a child. I think you are a phenomenal instructor and editor. I truly wish you the best in your trade. Please keep the content coming, and most importantly, thank you.
Dude, Just found your channel and I'm so glad I did. Your skills and your philosophy are top notch. Thank you for all you're sharing!
I was expecting really good info out of this vid; but it was helpful and wholesome to a whole other extent. Inspirational!
Chris again, excelent video... i´ve been practicing magic for nearly 3 years now.. but not doing much with people.. some times at the university,... but is so hard for me, so afraid of being caught... this video is really great and gave me many ideas! thanks a lot!!
Teach me the coin trick
This video literally opened my eyes as a performer. Im really thankful Chris, keep up the work. You're amazing
This was a great lesson Chris, especially for someone like me who's attempting to become a performer and I've watched the Tony Chang lecture twice to understand the theory behind performing. Keep it UP.
Awesome. Thanks. My favored response to "Is magic real?", and "How did you do it?" has been, "For me, and what I do, magic will be one of a few things. So easy it's overlooked, more complicated than you think I would go through the trouble to make happen, slight of hand, mathematics, or a skill I have you don't think I do. There is no such thing a psychics, everything they can do, I can do with one of these five methods."
Teach the coin trick
For a decade, my performance venue was at my job at a laser tag place, just hanging out with the customers (mostly elementary/middle school age).
"How did you do that?!?!"
"Lots of practice, and eating my veggies!" (wink to the parents)
I'm definitely going to start using the "Once and trick , twice a lesson" line from now on. Great Job Chris.
The best answer is I learned magic on a super expensive course, so they don’t try and learn the tricks😂
Love this vid. Not having a "magic group", or other magicians to hang out with, it's good to hear how other magicians handle these type situations.
Well spoken!
I prefer tricks that requires lots of practice over tricks that use gimmicks/prep which IMO don't require much "skill" to perform. Of course, combining both is fine.
Another one I use if they say "Oh, I know how you did that" is "Oh, I do too - but don't tell anyone because that would ruin it for everyone else. Afterwards, we can talk about it and maybe you can give me pointers to help me in the future" Personally, this compliments them (even if they are correct or not) and both of you are on the "same side"
I've had a spectator spot a double lift, called me out on it and I just said "oops, the cards got stuck together" and just did a top change on the off-beat. If things go wrong, jazz with it. Or pull out an invisible deck and reveal their card as the only face down card. F*ck ups often produce a better effect. Just stay calm and be charming!
Brilliant tips Chris, thanks so much for sharing. I will definitely use some of these. I love that they make you seem more human and not just going straight on the defensive. Cheers.
I vote 3 thumbs up for the coin trick
It never came...
it did
@@luckyboy1498 what is the video called? Or maybe you can link it here. Thanks ;)
.slowdown here th-cam.com/video/qvPJoKZtwak/w-d-xo.html
I'm no Magician (I feel like part of this community anyway!), and this video is great for awareness as a spectator.
Thanks, man!
I WANNA KNOW HOW TO DO THE "MENTALIST" COIN IN HAND TRCIKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! plzzz
Great advices!
I think a good way to deal with the "Is magic real?" Thing is to open a conversation about "what is magic?" I've had some great time talking with spectators this way, because you can really talk about your interpretation of what you are doing with those cards ;)
Teach the behind the back coin thing!!!
Love the reflection of your lighting on your eyes,in the face cam.. looks awesome
Smart guy.. Like your way of thinking
First person I've ever followed on TH-cam... Or subscribed... Whatever.... First one...keep up the solid work man, Lovin it
Good video Chris,
Thanks for all the tips and advice, very helpful !
Love your videos, editing and music especially your intro and outro music
Rock on
Much love from Montreal baby 👊
One of the things I say when they ask if magic is real is I say I don't know.... is it? It is up to how you perceive it.
I'm from California, I don't know why that matters, well I do, but wtv... Anyhoo, every time I hear you say, "Out" or "About" my ear flutters and I crack a crook smile lol but I love ya and your channel, so keep up the good work! :)
To...Smash. (when honesty kicks in)
Nice video dude, big fan here.
I suck at magic, but I really enjoy doing it, specially performing to my GF.
Thanks for all the advice and explanations, you're the real MVP.
Btw, that coin trick reveal would be sweet.
Good vibes mate.
when i get this. i usually slow the trick down and asknthem to watch. but i use a trick that have almost zero slight of hand. and how fun it is to watch them getting mindblown when they cant explain what they seeing in slow motion.
This is the best video I have ever saw about magic! It teachs one of the most important thing to us magitians.
This was probably the best video I’ve seen on the channel so far
If I flash a double lift, I just sleeve one of the cards.
Makes them look stupid, but it feels so good.
Wow Chris, this video was actually very helpful! I would love to know how you do that coin behind the back trick, but this video learned me more than any tutorial! Keep up the great work
When people ask me if magic is real I tell them that what I do is not real, but I believe magic is out there. It's my favorite transition as it isn't a lie but it's not the full truth.
Hey Chris. When people asks me how I did a trick, I usually shot back at the,"a lot of practice."
Awesome videos keep them up
Yo Chris !
I love to listen to your videos and how you deal with these situations! Keep it up!
please teach the quarter in hands trick I love it so much
Nice video Chris. Sometimes with the right crowd, I like to say that I do this specific card trick with a little help from my friend, Satan. That usually gets a laugh :-D
I used the Sybil Cut once in a trick and one of the people I was doing it for said to the people around him “that doesn’t actually change the order of the cards you know” so I just replied “but it looks cool doesn’t it” and that made people laugh
Would love to learn to the coin thing
When kids figure out what I did, and they do more often than adults , I reveal that they are right and tell them how smart they are. I dont want to them to doubt themselves or their accurate perceptions.
dude please teach that coin/mindreading effect, I love it and really wanna know how it works
I would love to learn that coin in the hand trick
I would definitely be a fan of the coin mentalism trick, sounds like a good escape !
Looking at the comments and seeing the majority asking to be taught the coin trick rather than adding or reflecting thoughts on the subject matter says a lot about part of this community, and it kind of saddens me. The secret of magic is almost never the trick, it's always the actor presenting the trick.
That being said, it was a great video. I think more conversations/thought processes like this one should be made much more than tutorials, because it gives insight to newer generations of magicians looking to be more serious about the craft and to become workers such as yourself.
please teach the coin one. if love to know how you figure out which hand every time. love your videos.
I got caught doing a trick customer said they saw how I did it and I didn't know how-to approach it. thanks to you now I do. I've got a question maybe you can address in a future video. when I first got into card magic I was a beast learning everything I could as fast as I could. then when I felt there wasn't anything new and I had practiced the tricks enough to be convincing I kinda petered out. I went a few months without even touching the deck. my question is how do you keep interest in your magic to practice it all the time? and further when you approach a new spectator do you still get nervous? i feel often that I'm just wasting their time or something. I haven't been doing card magic since childhood or anything. I actually started two years ago. so I get very nervous. therefore I don't really put myself in front of a lot of people as I like to. I would love any advice. and I think a video in the subject would help a lot of people in my situation where you want to do the magic but find yourself too nervous to do so. thank you and again I love your videos.
Yesssss teach the coin trick . U also did it with a chess piece and it blew my mind !
Chris !!! Your eyes are cool in green. When I start ur video, I'll feeling some chillness😇
Very interesesting thanks, very clever changing how in why!
I enjoyed this video, usually I just get the person that saw how I did it to not to run out for all the ones who didn't.
I like to use a statement when I show people magic by mocking them that -"yeah you want me to do this trick until you can catch me" end with a nasty smile
I usually do this with my friends and family
Please teach the coin trick you mentioned! I would love to learn how to actually read people's body language to know which hand the coin is in.
How do you learn magic????
*Blood pact with the cards bro* 🤣
I had this trick I used to do laying cards on top of coins and making them jump from being under one card to another, as though I was “invisibly” picking them up and putting them there... it was the trick I was best at so when people would ask how I did it I would just slow it down and tell them you move the coins without letting the spectators see, which IS what I was doing, but even slowed down they couldn’t see my actually moves... when they wouldn’t “catch on” I would act impatient and do it even slower but that wouldn’t help them lol... some people would laugh, some would get pissed off like I was making them look dumb.
Every time i've been asked the "Is magic real?" question, I always say "It depends. What I do? Well no, it isnt, it's just hard work and mechanical practice... but there are other things that are hard to explain. Magic could be real, there are things science has yet to explain..... but these card tricks are not one of those." which i feel like can satisfy a lot of people. Those wanting it to be real still have hope, those that believe it is just unexplained science are left believing ot will get explained in due time, and i dont have to lie
can you keep secrets...
so can I...
love that 😂🖖
I love your smaller scale magic (cards coins and such) but I'm curious what your favorite large scale magic trick is. Which one can you see millions of times and it still mystifies you or makes you feel like it's the first time?
please teach the coin trick I have been trying to find one for like two weeks
I have no idea how I ended up on this channel like 3 days ago but I think I'm in love with you now?
GREAT VIDEO CHRIS!!! Would love the tutorial on the guessing quarter one
Just say “ next time when you turn a page, I’ll burn the book”
I had a friend once who knew I am a magician and he came up and just said “you know magic isn’t real right” I looked at him in the eye and just said “duh” lol
Re watching your vids is like reminding a treasure ;)))
When they ask me how I did it, I just say: I don't even know! or something like that
early squad assemble
The last techique was literaly the guy from fiverr video telling Chris "You are the best, beautiful amd very creative person", so you dont have to deal with the situation.😅
That was really helpful man, thanks for posting. I enjoy your perspective on magic and life. Keep the good vibes coming! Btw are you in Montreal? I'm moving to Ottawa next year...we should chill.
Ah this is helpful! Haha "someone who believed in physics that had not been discovered"
PLEASE, teach us how to know in which hand coin is! Thanks! That would explain how The USA Tallent Sherlock did the trick!
-I am an old powerful can not compare with me Mortal !
-hey doude ...
-what do you want mortal !
-momento mori
I needed this video A LOT!! Greets from Chile
Here's what I do for every question:
"Yeah that's a hot one"
best video so far, you changed my perspective and made me laugh at myself XD thanks for the advice ^^
advice for situations where people say "I know how you did that": here's a story to demonstrate a little better. Once I was doing the cups and balls routine and just before I revealed the final part where a ball had jumped from one cup to another, a lady said "(exact way I did it)". In that moment, I said "Ok, that's really good. Just one question, if that's true, how'd I do this? I then proceeded to show her the ball had changed places and she looked baffled. She said something along the lines of "wait, you're right....I thought I had you". All I did was make her think she could be wrong and the fear of being wrong overtook her so she retreated back to merely being a spectator.
I definitely want to learn the quarter trick!
-Can you do that again?
-I'm out of mana..
ahahah
this is the right answer
If they ask for me to do it again or show someone the same thing and I can't i just say" I'll show you something better"
i like how ur hat has cr for ur initials but also spells out chris for ur first name..nice design
very nice info and guidance as usual bro.
"To smash" haha I fkn lost it!!
