He's highly entertaining! Although some of his illusions are extremely angle-sensitive and will not work outside of a video context. But they are still a joy to watch.
My head hurts...my head legit hurts after this. So incredible... Listen, I'm hardly a magician. I know a couple card tricks using a force slip, and that's about it. However, from watching magicians over the years, I'm well aware that there is SO MUCH MORE to a magician's act and I've slowly learned what to look for. And how a magician uses these techniques, expert usage of misdirection, and mastery of slight of hand is what makes me truly appreciate the art. Even on the rare chances when I can figure out what they are doing, I still appreciate how they executed the illusion. And I'm perfectly fine with not know EXACTLY how it's done but I would always like to know just be more knowledgeable of their art. I can see why you like this guy Chris. His act is SO clean, and he's SO fast with his movements. It's even tough to tell when he's grabbing/using things that are off camera. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos like this Chris. I like to hear a magician's take on another magician's act.

Thanks for introducing me to Jeki!! He is one of the funniest, cleverest magicians I've ever seen (present company excepted of course "-Ahem-") It's now mid Feb and Jeki just "Fooled" P&T!!
"The world would be a better place if people were just willing to say 'I don't know'..." ESPECIALLY FOR MAGICIANS! Anyone who is watching this who isn't a magician: WE ARE NOT TRYING TO FOOL YOU. WE ARE NOT TRYING TO MAKE YOU LOOK STUPID. Our only intention is to ENTERTAIN. It doesn't matter HOW the trick is done. You don't watch the 2-hour behind-the-scenes DVD of Avengers Endgame just to see HOW they did it; we know it's not real. We knot the Hulk is CGI. Does that make the movie any less entertaining? I sort of don't like the promise of the Penn and Teller show Fool Us because again, it's implying that the magician's job is to fool people. It's not. It's to spark wonder and enjoyment. Telling you how we do the trick would be like telling you that we're planning a surprise party for you. We don't keep it a secret because we're trying to make you look stupid, we keep it a secret because the 'surprise', the feeling of wonder, is our gift to you, and we don't want to ruin that. That's MY rant over!
I've never made a movie in my life, but devour all the content I can on how movies are made as it makes them even more enjoyable for me to watch. I'm highly entertained by watching magic, but I also find it even more enjoyable once I've figured out how it's done. For me it's fascinating to see all the ways that magic shows how humans are so easily tricked into believing one "reality" that's being presented to them, when actually something completely different is happening in front of their eyes. Knowing how a trick is done doesn't in any way ruin the trick for me, it adds a whole extra layer of enjoyment and appreciation. To flip the "rant" around, my wanting to figuring out how a trick is done isn't trying to make you look stupid either, or prove you can't fool me.
Great rant and very true. however i dont think the point of Fool Us is to fool people or general public. i think the true purpose of the show was to make magicians think outside the box and create new ways to entertain and bring joy wonderment and magic for all and there job is to see if Penn or Teller has seen the trick before or figure out how it is done which is the only way to true make people creative is to give them a goal outside themselves. i havent seen a part where Penn or Teller ever said they did bad, just that the understood how it was done and spoke in code so not to give it way. my issue where with shows like the masked magician that gave away secrets on how the magic was done.
@@TheAzhrael666 To me Penn & Teller and the Masked Magician both push for the same thing. They show the easy common way to do a trick and then do the trick with you knowing that but still accomplish it using a new better method. They push people to evolve, if you can fool P&T doing a trick they know its just that more amazing to the audience.
This is simply not true for everyone. People get to enjoy content in the way that they enjoy content. Some people, like myself, are fascinated by the methodology. We love solving puzzles (which is part of why we love this channel). Knowing how something is done satisfies a deep urge within us. There are many tricks that I know how they are done, and yet and I can very much appreciate a performance _because_ I know the method. Watching the pocky stick trick in this video, for example. It's clear how he changes from yellow to brown, but it's so smooth and amazing when he does it. The skill is evident. Let people enjoy magic the way they want to enjoy magic, not the way you want them to enjoy magic.
I can follow the yellow ball with his movements, but I'm blown away at the pure precision at 10:47 and then quickly shows you the illusion so you don't have to think too hard about the previous act
Because we know it's slight of hand but he's taken it to a new height that's kind of hard to understand what he did. Penn and Teller must of had a talk with the people in the back for a while but didn't actually figure out how the end worked. It's fricken amazing to watch.
Hi Chris, I always like your video's. However, this is the first time watching any videos, that I actually felt that I was watching Jeki Yoo's astounding magic, sitting with you, and my reactions were the exact same as yours, Geat Video Chris, I thank you for making me feel, almost like a buddy. Keep safe and Healthy both you and your family.
Chris,you are breeze of fresh air, always. Thank you for your love of Magic Craft, for carrying and loving your viewrs. And showimg something new and different, every time.
Chris, I saw this 5months ago. I got the same feelings. Figured one trick out bcz of your hint. After 5months, at 4AM tonight, i watched all his videos again, and got impressed again. Then I came here, and vola! I figured two tricks out, and u have no idea, NO IDEA how good I feel. Like I feel like that has been my biggest accomplishment in the magic world so far. So thank u for coming up again and letting me see this video again.
I guess the rope is actually two ropes held together by a magnet, and when he has them in his hand before doing the knot it detaches one end and attaches to the other one. I don't know if this explanation makes sense, but in my head it kinda does
Had the same idea and couldn't resist posting that just a few minutes ago. After posting, it took less than 10 seconds of scrolling to find your comment. So far me thinking I was on to something lol. Should've reversed the order there, would have saved me a few minutes of life.
I love watching magic, I know how most things are done but I still have the greatest respect for magicians. It is so cool and smooth, and the amount of practice you all put into the craft is unbelievable. I try and try but can never do it clean enough. Fool us is my favorite show. Magicians are awesome!!
I haven't done magic since I was a teenager and David Copperfield was the only well know magician. Having said that I can appreciate small, quick, super clean, close up. However this guy is so far beyond anything I ever did its just insane. Why he isn't on fool us I don't get! You need to get him on that show!
4:24 The moment when he makes the knot, the rope is already made into a circle and rope is just twisted around it... I have no idea how that's possible... But hats off to JekiYoo
@@tylermulligan5861 unless you're being sarcastic, literally before this clip, ramsay rants about people who dismiss magic as video editing. my take is that the internet has nurtured a culture of trying to one-up and saying you know more than the next guy. magicians think and work hard and create. late nights, hours and hours of thinking and practice, there's stuff that the most experienced, talented, learned magicians would say they don't know about. stonewalled by a culture of things you don't know about, dismissing all of this as video editing is a lazy and uninspired assumption. as a hobbyist magician, there's lots i don't know due to my lack of experience, but jekiyoo's stuff pings me as real. ramsay prob would've called BS if he caught anything, and he says there's stuff he doesn't know since he's humble and mature like that. imo, it's insulting to be accused of video editing. not cool dude.
@@tylermulligan5861 I was actually just making a pun without giving away the secret so directly. But, yes the rope is actually two pieces of rope. A short section of rope has a magnet at each end and is stuck to a longer rope with a magnet at one end. If you look at the loop after he pulls it off you can see the straight area where the two magnets have to come together, If you were to tug on that loop it would pull right apart.
I only occasionally watch magic videos and usually only Penn and Teller because I find them amusing. I clicked on this video out of curiosity and I'm so happy I did. Magic or not, that man is sooooo entertaining and is literally the only reason I have opened IG in the past 2 years lol. Thanks for introducing him, I'll throw you a sub too just to see if you got any other surprises for me ;)
Probably the only one I got, at 13:08 : The first part is pretty standard, where he holds the 2 balls in his right hand, then switches them as he moves the cup around, and eventually laps them with his right hand. At 13:12, he reaches with his left hand out of camera, to palm a magnet. At 13:18, he reaches with his right hand out of camera, to get the sand mechanism. At 13:23, the sand mechanism is held under the table by the magnet. He then laps the magnet.
I have been watching your videos for a long time and this was my favorite of all of your videos - not because of his magic, but because of your genuine reaction. The pure joy on your face is one reason why I love watching reaction videos. Of course, I also watch all of your other stuff too, lol.
I watched this video when it first came out and you got me hooked on Jeki Yoo. I follow him on instagram and TH-cam. He's so entertaining! Thank you for introducing me to my new favorite magician. I just had to watch this again for your reactions.
He literally snapped his glasses onto the ring - so there either is no glass at all in his glasses (what makes the glasses kinda useless?) or there is some weird shit going on.
this is refreshing, we need more videos where you are lost. im usually screaming watching you watch reddit when you immediately see the trick and im still scratching my head.
When he started tying the rope at 4:23 the tail that is in his left hand is longer than the tail that comes up. He pulled some type of switcharoo like the rope has magnets in the ends connecting it into sections that he pulls apart and creates the rope circle .
Took me several times watching that first one to figure it out! I kept looking for a way he could have the circle palmed and could not see a possible way! Turns out, he didn’t! Such a great method and even if you know how he does it on .25x speed you can barely see it for a single frame! Incredibly well done!
In the trick around 9:10, it appears that the grey book that the black contraption is set on top of is using forced perspective to appear flat, when in fact at the back the book angles up to maybe a full 90 degrees, providing a place for the cards to disappear into or behind. I think...
I feel like the rope is magnetized. When he is tying it together, he detaches it behind his hand and then attaches both ends to make a circle. It's actually 2 ropes attached together with magnets to look like one long rope. Still impressive.
4:20 there is 2 ropes connected by 3 magnets. When he is saying see it is a normal rope, he extends his hand to catch the ends of the rope . Then when he makes the loop he is connecting the 2 parts by switching where the connection is made. (Remember 3 magnets, 2 to connect the 2 roops and one at the end) This is specially good for magician audiences because they have seen this trick before. And it turns out to not be the same one . What do you think? It took me a while (I love his marvelous eyes and your eyes as a contrast, that is so great)
ok dude, been watchin your vids for a few days now but this one...THIS ONE made me subscribe!! you are just as funny as Jeki!! love this stuff and can't get enough! keep up the great work!
I've never 😂 so hard. The magician was very impressive and watching you as we're both watching the magician is pure laughter because I'm just mind boggled as you were and I'm like wtf... How?. Anyway I like your video, just started practicing with cards.. like whatever is before a begginer is where I'm at. 👍
6:03 The "slinky trick" SOLVED *note: this is not meant to ruin anything, only explain how it *likely* is done. Notice when he is doing the slinky bit, jostling it back and fourth,, he is holding firmly to the base of it with his right hand (if looking at the screen) or the one gripping the base most tightly. When he goes to show its empty (or nothing inside it) he never actually jostled it enough to reveal or let you see through the part of the slinky he is firmly holding, aka where He was holding the cards. Only enough to see through the other, empty end. Then, he puts the slinky back in a resting position. He then flips the slink to its opposite end, releasing his tighter grip on the section or base of the slinky holding the cards, the cards when he does so slide to the opposite end, then he dumps them out, now loose and freely moving to surprise the viewer. Seems Kinda simple, but, very cool.
Jeki is incredible! However I have spotted some tricks. Spoiler allert! . . . . . . . . 10:45 he had the ball in his left hand. You can actually see how he moves it around the board 11:32 on the start he switched the coin with this double one 13:08 he started trick with one ball in each hand. 13:20 he had 2 balls in his right hand and took the dust from the left side of the screen (but I don't know how he glued the sand to the table) 14:30 he left the card in the top frame 15:20 it's just beautiful how there are all these cards set in perfect places so the camera doesn't see them (deck and big cards are behind the thickest frame). He shows the frame just after the magic so it changes nothing 17:20 one ring is cut but hidden behind the fingers. He just pretend that he slides it around Hope I didn't destroy your joy in magic!
How to do all jekiyoo's tricks: How to do the rope trick: He has a trick rope that can break apart and reassemble. Turn video to slowest playback speed, and watch 4:22. Notice how he has the pinky and ring finger back on his right hand. He needs them back to do the maneuver directly after where he splits the rope. At 4:23 he breaks the end off the rope in his left hand, holding it between his first and second fingers, as he places the false end from his right hand into the rope hole behind his left hand creating the rope loop. In the second half of 4:23 he places the loose end he was holding in his left hand into the remainder of the linear rope and wraps it around the loop (pretending to tie a knot). The rest is acting. How to do chocolate trick: He's rotating the double-sided sticks. He has a lump of 'chocolate' on a string. How to do the coin matrix on glass: This trick relies on the fixed camera angle and is impossible to do otherwise. Notice how the edge of his glass table has a distortion in it from a fancy cut along the edge. He has hidden a tiny 'coin-catcher' on it which is on an angle that is perfectly lined up with the line of sight from the camera. This could be created with super-glue and plexiglass. It is also possible for this device to send the coins down and to his left (all within the angle hidden by the distortion from this specific camera angle), this way he can have lots of room to move his right arm around so he can show us how he 'didn't use the edge of the table'. How to do the card trick: I'll write this later.
4:23 rope is 2 parts with magnets. Disconnect on the side and makes a circle while winding through second his hands moved he's already connected the other part.
15:35 he has all those cards hidden between the frames of the cube, in the last one, when he pulls out lots of cards you can tell he grabs them from inside the cube hidden by the front frame, same as the last one, he grabs all those big cards and then rotates them, to make you think they were facing the front.
The first trick. The rope ends up shorter than it starts out. It is a magnetic trick rope. When he begins to tie the knot he pulls it apart and joins the loop ends. This happens on the first loop. Watch closely and you can see it. Then loops the knot with what's left of the rope.
I caught it too, but I when I commented about it I made a point to avoid revealing it entirely out of respect for the magician, just hinted at it so other magicians could get a better idea. Like Chris has said many times, I believe that the magician who invents a trick is the only one who has the right to decide how other people learn it. I’m not trying to sound judgemental but be more thoughtful before you just declare to the world how a method works that doesn’t belong to you.
@@Curious3354 It was only a guess and I have a right to guess. If you don't want everyone to know how the trick is done, then do it better. I am not a magician and follow no codes.
That’s not an original trick though, I’m pretty sure you can buy the rope trick for cheap. Not even an expensive elaborate one just like a beginner magic kit.
@4:20 I checked out this guy's video and if you slow it down, you can see him switching the rope piece with his right hand and flipping out the detached piece with his thumb. He's using slight of hand to hide the connected spots. I think the rope's ends have magnets. They're cut perfectly straight and when he dangles the loop, it looks kinda kinked weirdly in one spot (right where he let go). Some of these seem edited. For example, the black hole in the park looks like a matte job and you can see the area around the black hole smudged by a crappy job.
Also worth noting is at about the 6:12 Mark, as soon as the cards come out the light in the background snaps to a different shade. That’s kind of weird
You're right about the rope trick. Additionally, and this technically isn't a "camera trick", but he boosted the brightness of the whites while editing just enough to blow out the highlights and mask the connection even more. It's not a camera trick because the illusion isn't created or changed by clever editing. He is doing exactly what you said, but the color balance just makes it a tiny bit more seamless. Notice how much brighter the rope is than the color tones in the rest of the room. You lose all detail in the rope when the white are blown out like that.
7:25 With the hat trick, there is a cleverly hidden large photo of the grass behind the hat. In other words, all of the grass isn't real. It's just a big poster that blends in to the real grass around it. The photo of the grass hides the person (or a hand from off screen) handing the items to him through another hole in the grass photo. Very clever. If you think he lied about video editing (because around the edges of the hat there appears to be a blur from the poor composting). But what you're actually seeing is the shadow of the hat hitting the photo of the grass behind it. If he would have moved the photo of the grass back slightly, or if he would have lit the scene differently, he would have been able to hide the shadow being cast on the fake grass photo. Does that make sense?
To see a magician frustrated with the magic he is seeing...priceless. Funniest video I’ve seen of yours. Keep up the good work and the promotion of others.
That dude is good. His glass table has a massive hidden shelf from the edge that is parallel to the perspective of the camera which is why its so convincing. He just slid the coins onto it. And the string is just a magnetically or mechanically joinable string that comes apart. He executes his tricks well. And he gets my thumbs up for his cheerfulness!
Either that or jekiyoo is actually doing camera trick here which would be lame. The video skips a bit and stops for 2 frames while he's creating the loop.
I saw it at 4:22 to 4:23 in slomo. You can see when he makes the first loop the end that he loops around is not the end that pops out. You can see it pops out from the other hand. That's when he makes the connection to form the loop. If you follow the rope it's at that moment. The rope looks like one piece and the loop another.
I think it's made only of two parts and three magnets were used, one at the end of the "original" rope then two magnets initially joining the two seperate ropes. The rope got shorter so it only makes sense that he actually made a loop out of the part of the rope
@@marc3542 That seems a plausible explanation. It still requires pretty high skill to prevent displaying the seams to the camera. Using only two parts sounds correct and allow pulling the rope out of the loop without fearing the magnet connection to fail.
15:36 I LOVE THIS REACTION: CHRIS GOES FROM "THIS IS WELL DONE, I KNOW HOW HE HAS DONE THIS BUT, OH IT'S WELL DONE" TO "STOP IT YOU DEMON SPAWN OF HELL"
@ 9:00 if you take a better look the slider which cards go through is slightly angled towards him so i believe there is a pocket on the back side where the big cards go and he only pushes small ones through the hole. At least that's what i think the trick is
8:43 There is a mini slope-slide (black color) behind the glass. From this perspective you think that black thing is only above the glass. In fact opening is above for small cards and at the back there is a slide on which he throws big cards to hide it from us.
Honestly had so much fun making this video.. Does it show??!

For me it's fascinating to see all the ways that magic shows how humans are so easily tricked into believing one "reality" that's being presented to them, when actually something completely different is happening in front of their eyes.
Knowing how a trick is done doesn't in any way ruin the trick for me, it adds a whole extra layer of enjoyment and appreciation. To flip the "rant" around, my wanting to figuring out how a trick is done isn't trying to make you look stupid either, or prove you can't fool me.
Great rant and very true. however i dont think the point of Fool Us is to fool people or general public. i think the true purpose of the show was to make magicians think outside the box and create new ways to entertain and bring joy wonderment and magic for all and there job is to see if Penn or Teller has seen the trick before or figure out how it is done which is the only way to true make people creative is to give them a goal outside themselves. i havent seen a part where Penn or Teller ever said they did bad, just that the understood how it was done and spoke in code so not to give it way. my issue where with shows like the masked magician that gave away secrets on how the magic was done.
@@TheAzhrael666 To me Penn & Teller and the Masked Magician both push for the same thing. They show the easy common way to do a trick and then do the trick with you knowing that but still accomplish it using a new better method. They push people to evolve, if you can fool P&T doing a trick they know its just that more amazing to the audience.
This is simply not true for everyone. People get to enjoy content in the way that they enjoy content. Some people, like myself, are fascinated by the methodology. We love solving puzzles (which is part of why we love this channel). Knowing how something is done satisfies a deep urge within us.
There are many tricks that I know how they are done, and yet and I can very much appreciate a performance _because_ I know the method. Watching the pocky stick trick in this video, for example. It's clear how he changes from yellow to brown, but it's so smooth and amazing when he does it. The skill is evident.
Let people enjoy magic the way they want to enjoy magic, not the way you want them to enjoy magic.
I can follow the yellow ball with his movements, but I'm blown away at the pure precision at 10:47
and then quickly shows you the illusion so you don't have to think too hard about the previous act
Just watched him on Penn and Teller, he fooled them as well.
Because we know it's slight of hand but he's taken it to a new height that's kind of hard to understand what he did. Penn and Teller must of had a talk with the people in the back for a while but didn't actually figure out how the end worked. It's fricken amazing to watch.
@@RabbitsInBlack Very true and seems a lovely bloke as well so all good,
Didn't fool me!
Hi Chris, I always like your video's. However, this is the first time watching any videos, that I actually felt that I was watching Jeki Yoo's astounding magic, sitting with you, and my reactions were the exact same as yours, Geat Video Chris, I thank you for making me feel, almost like a buddy. Keep safe and Healthy both you and your family.
Pay an editor on fiverr to edit the omegle video 😂😂😂

That's evil! 😂
Calm down there Satan.
That is so wicked it's brilliant
Boom 💥 this idea perfect
Chris,you are breeze of fresh air, always. Thank you for your love of Magic Craft, for carrying and loving your viewrs. And showimg something new and different, every time.
Watched this with my son earlier today. “Oh my!” Is his new thang now. He’s 6. It’s been consistent all day 😂
I was about to show it to my 5yo. Now I'm having second thoughts. Just the thought scares me. Oh my.

Synchronicity is kool but that is not an example lolol
I love watching you, as a magician, enjoy watching magic. Jeki allows you to remember every day why you started doing magic. That's cool.

Omegle. That’s a throwback. Haven’t heard that word in easily 10 years
Last time I heard omegle was ksi
Chris, I saw this 5months ago. I got the same feelings. Figured one trick out bcz of your hint. After 5months, at 4AM tonight, i watched all his videos again, and got impressed again. Then I came here, and vola! I figured two tricks out, and u have no idea, NO IDEA how good I feel. Like I feel like that has been my biggest accomplishment in the magic world so far.
So thank u for coming up again and letting me see this video again.
I love it! He’s literally a master at managing attention.
I guess the rope is actually two ropes held together by a magnet, and when he has them in his hand before doing the knot it detaches one end and attaches to the other one. I don't know if this explanation makes sense, but in my head it kinda does
Exactly what I thought. The music is also here to cover the "clap" of the magnets.
Had the same idea and couldn't resist posting that just a few minutes ago. After posting, it took less than 10 seconds of scrolling to find your comment. So far me thinking I was on to something lol. Should've reversed the order there, would have saved me a few minutes of life.
I was about to comment the same thing, one "corner" of the circle looks almost like a right angle. It's the only explanation that makes sense.
I love watching magic, I know how most things are done but I still have the greatest respect for magicians. It is so cool and smooth, and the amount of practice you all put into the craft is unbelievable. I try and try but can never do it clean enough. Fool us is my favorite show. Magicians are awesome!!
I haven't done magic since I was a teenager and David Copperfield was the only well know magician.
Having said that I can appreciate small, quick, super clean, close up. However this guy is so far beyond anything I ever did its just insane.
Why he isn't on fool us I don't get! You need to get him on that show!
4:24 The moment when he makes the knot, the rope is already made into a circle and rope is just twisted around it... I have no idea how that's possible... But hats off to JekiYoo
Magnetic isn't it?
@@tylermulligan5861 unless you're being sarcastic, literally before this clip, ramsay rants about people who dismiss magic as video editing. my take is that the internet has nurtured a culture of trying to one-up and saying you know more than the next guy. magicians think and work hard and create. late nights, hours and hours of thinking and practice, there's stuff that the most experienced, talented, learned magicians would say they don't know about. stonewalled by a culture of things you don't know about, dismissing all of this as video editing is a lazy and uninspired assumption. as a hobbyist magician, there's lots i don't know due to my lack of experience, but jekiyoo's stuff pings me as real. ramsay prob would've called BS if he caught anything, and he says there's stuff he doesn't know since he's humble and mature like that. imo, it's insulting to be accused of video editing. not cool dude.
@@tylermulligan5861 I was actually just making a pun without giving away the secret so directly. But, yes the rope is actually two pieces of rope. A short section of rope has a magnet at each end and is stuck to a longer rope with a magnet at one end. If you look at the loop after he pulls it off you can see the straight area where the two magnets have to come together, If you were to tug on that loop it would pull right apart.

I only occasionally watch magic videos and usually only Penn and Teller because I find them amusing. I clicked on this video out of curiosity and I'm so happy I did. Magic or not, that man is sooooo entertaining and is literally the only reason I have opened IG in the past 2 years lol. Thanks for introducing him, I'll throw you a sub too just to see if you got any other surprises for me ;)
I went to check out that omegle site, and all I saw over and over was this same solo performance of the same slight of hand trick.
A lot of people working on productions on that site.
Slide of hand
@@kalebtlt1630 touche
He’s so polished and his “oh my” has me rolling everytime 😂
Probably the only one I got, at 13:08 : The first part is pretty standard, where he holds the 2 balls in his right hand, then switches them as he moves the cup around, and eventually laps them with his right hand. At 13:12, he reaches with his left hand out of camera, to palm a magnet. At 13:18, he reaches with his right hand out of camera, to get the sand mechanism. At 13:23, the sand mechanism is held under the table by the magnet. He then laps the magnet.
7:24 when Chris Ramsay suddenly turned into Penn Jillette
No kidding xD
I have been watching your videos for a long time and this was my favorite of all of your videos - not because of his magic, but because of your genuine reaction. The pure joy on your face is one reason why I love watching reaction videos. Of course, I also watch all of your other stuff too, lol.
That dude is hilarious. After the math test "hyuh huh oh my" had me dead af
The soda and burger are a perspective trick. The hole he's holding never moves away and the food is mounted behind.
Loads of fun!
If you look at it closely you can see the matte lines around his forearm and hand, especially right before he drops the black hole.
I watched this video when it first came out and you got me hooked on Jeki Yoo. I follow him on instagram and TH-cam. He's so entertaining! Thank you for introducing me to my new favorite magician. I just had to watch this again for your reactions.
The fact that he can renew a classic the Chinese rings trick in such an innovative and clean way is just baffling
Holyshitwhydidireadyourusername
He literally snapped his glasses onto the ring - so there either is no glass at all in his glasses (what makes the glasses kinda useless?) or there is some weird shit going on.
Drinking game: take a shot, every time they say 'watch' or 'oh my' in this video. Message me if you survived...
this is refreshing, we need more videos where you are lost. im usually screaming watching you watch reddit when you immediately see the trick and im still scratching my head.
The tricks look so short, simple and fun that most people don't even realize that most of them are on a different level!
Bună Ionuț! Nu știam că mai sunt și alți români care se uită la Chris Ramsay
I could only figure out 1 trick, the one with the three frames. His setup and sleight of hand skills are amazing.
The pocky one is really easy to see what he’s doing.
When he started tying the rope at 4:23 the tail that is in his left hand is longer than the tail that comes up. He pulled some type of switcharoo like the rope has magnets in the ends connecting it into sections that he pulls apart and creates the rope circle .
Took me several times watching that first one to figure it out! I kept looking for a way he could have the circle palmed and could not see a possible way! Turns out, he didn’t! Such a great method and even if you know how he does it on .25x speed you can barely see it for a single frame! Incredibly well done!
I think its magnets
Jekiyoo’s magic: entertaining
Chris Ramsay’s reaction: priceless
In the trick around 9:10, it appears that the grey book that the black contraption is set on top of is using forced perspective to appear flat, when in fact at the back the book angles up to maybe a full 90 degrees, providing a place for the cards to disappear into or behind. I think...
so many puzzles have led to this pile of goo that is Ramsay's brain.
The Karen picture for Chris Angel made me chuckle. Thank you for that.
14:59 u can see he stock the card to the frame but he's truly amazing at slight of hand
Let me just say one single sentence: This guy is THE MAGIC himself!
I feel like the rope is magnetized. When he is tying it together, he detaches it behind his hand and then attaches both ends to make a circle. It's actually 2 ropes attached together with magnets to look like one long rope. Still impressive.
That was also my guess. But while interested in magic, I'm a total amateur, so I just assume I'm probably wrong.
That is the only explanation. It might not even be magnets. Could be force of will because he is a WITCH!!!!!!
4:20 there is 2 ropes connected by 3 magnets.
When he is saying see it is a normal rope, he extends his hand to catch the ends of the rope .
Then when he makes the loop he is connecting the 2 parts by switching where the connection is made.
(Remember 3 magnets, 2 to connect the 2 roops and one at the end)
This is specially good for magician audiences because they have seen this trick before. And it turns out to not be the same one .
What do you think?
It took me a while
(I love his marvelous eyes and your eyes as a contrast, that is so great)
Chris angel, Karen, was the best part of the video lolol

ok dude, been watchin your vids for a few days now but this one...THIS ONE made me subscribe!! you are just as funny as Jeki!! love this stuff and can't get enough! keep up the great work!
I've never 😂 so hard. The magician was very impressive and watching you as we're both watching the magician is pure laughter because I'm just mind boggled as you were and I'm like wtf... How?. Anyway I like your video, just started practicing with cards.. like whatever is before a begginer is where I'm at. 👍
“Chris Angel” - dude, that was almost a milk through the nose moment.
Yes I thought it was someone's mum
6:03 The "slinky trick" SOLVED
*note: this is not meant to ruin anything, only explain how it *likely* is done.
Notice when he is doing the slinky bit, jostling it back and fourth,, he is holding firmly to the base of it with his right hand (if looking at the screen) or the one gripping the base most tightly.
When he goes to show its empty (or nothing inside it) he never actually jostled it enough to reveal or let you see through the part of the slinky he is firmly holding, aka where He was holding the cards. Only enough to see through the other, empty end.
Then, he puts the slinky back in a resting position. He then flips the slink to its opposite end, releasing his tighter grip on the section or base of the slinky holding the cards, the cards when he does so slide to the opposite end, then he dumps them out, now loose and freely moving to surprise the viewer.
Seems Kinda simple, but, very cool.
3 mysteries of the world:
- What caused the big bang?
- What did Chris see on Omegle?
- How does Yekiyoo do it?
its no mystery what he seen on omegle.
@@GRAITOM Exactly
Oh no now I'm gonna have to explain to my boyfriend why I'm on Omegle all the time trying to see magic tricks. I don't think he'll buy it 🤷🏻♀️

10:45 he had the ball in his left hand. You can actually see how he moves it around the board
11:32 on the start he switched the coin with this double one
13:08 he started trick with one ball in each hand.
13:20 he had 2 balls in his right hand and took the dust from the left side of the screen (but I don't know how he glued the sand to the table)
14:30 he left the card in the top frame
15:20 it's just beautiful how there are all these cards set in perfect places so the camera doesn't see them (deck and big cards are behind the thickest frame). He shows the frame just after the magic so it changes nothing
17:20 one ring is cut but hidden behind the fingers. He just pretend that he slides it around
Hope I didn't destroy your joy in magic!
Lmao ii recently discovered omegle through a friend too
"M/F?" Is now burned into my eyes
Did ya see any big ones?
😆😆😆 that’s funny as hell!!
I was not thinking of a diamond, thank you very much. Lol 😂
How to do all jekiyoo's tricks:
How to do the rope trick:
He has a trick rope that can break apart and reassemble. Turn video to slowest playback speed, and watch 4:22. Notice how he has the pinky and ring finger back on his right hand. He needs them back to do the maneuver directly after where he splits the rope. At 4:23 he breaks the end off the rope in his left hand, holding it between his first and second fingers, as he places the false end from his right hand into the rope hole behind his left hand creating the rope loop. In the second half of 4:23 he places the loose end he was holding in his left hand into the remainder of the linear rope and wraps it around the loop (pretending to tie a knot). The rest is acting.
How to do chocolate trick:
He's rotating the double-sided sticks. He has a lump of 'chocolate' on a string.
How to do the coin matrix on glass:
This trick relies on the fixed camera angle and is impossible to do otherwise. Notice how the edge of his glass table has a distortion in it from a fancy cut along the edge. He has hidden a tiny 'coin-catcher' on it which is on an angle that is perfectly lined up with the line of sight from the camera. This could be created with super-glue and plexiglass. It is also possible for this device to send the coins down and to his left (all within the angle hidden by the distortion from this specific camera angle), this way he can have lots of room to move his right arm around so he can show us how he 'didn't use the edge of the table'.
How to do the card trick:
I'll write this later.
4:23 rope is 2 parts with magnets. Disconnect on the side and makes a circle while winding through second his hands moved he's already connected the other part.
Saw the title and thought, "is Chris resorting to click-baity titles?" Watched the video and thought, "he didn't give this dude enough credit." Wow.
If I can't explain something, it's immediately magic....
15:35 he has all those cards hidden between the frames of the cube, in the last one, when he pulls out lots of cards you can tell he grabs them from inside the cube hidden by the front frame, same as the last one, he grabs all those big cards and then rotates them, to make you think they were facing the front.
He took that ring off his finger so slick, but it might have been the sloppiest thing he has done.
The first trick. The rope ends up shorter than it starts out. It is a magnetic trick rope. When he begins to tie the knot he pulls it apart and joins the loop ends. This happens on the first loop. Watch closely and you can see it. Then loops the knot with what's left of the rope.
I caught it too, but I when I commented about it I made a point to avoid revealing it entirely out of respect for the magician, just hinted at it so other magicians could get a better idea. Like Chris has said many times, I believe that the magician who invents a trick is the only one who has the right to decide how other people learn it. I’m not trying to sound judgemental but be more thoughtful before you just declare to the world how a method works that doesn’t belong to you.
@@Curious3354 It was only a guess and I have a right to guess. If you don't want everyone to know how the trick is done, then do it better. I am not a magician and follow no codes.
That’s not an original trick though, I’m pretty sure you can buy the rope trick for cheap. Not even an expensive elaborate one just like a beginner magic kit.
@4:20 I checked out this guy's video and if you slow it down, you can see him switching the rope piece with his right hand and flipping out the detached piece with his thumb. He's using slight of hand to hide the connected spots. I think the rope's ends have magnets. They're cut perfectly straight and when he dangles the loop, it looks kinda kinked weirdly in one spot (right where he let go).
Some of these seem edited. For example, the black hole in the park looks like a matte job and you can see the area around the black hole smudged by a crappy job.
Also worth noting is at about the 6:12 Mark, as soon as the cards come out the light in the background snaps to a different shade. That’s kind of weird
You're right about the rope trick. Additionally, and this technically isn't a "camera trick", but he boosted the brightness of the whites while editing just enough to blow out the highlights and mask the connection even more. It's not a camera trick because the illusion isn't created or changed by clever editing. He is doing exactly what you said, but the color balance just makes it a tiny bit more seamless. Notice how much brighter the rope is than the color tones in the rest of the room. You lose all detail in the rope when the white are blown out like that.
7:25 With the hat trick, there is a cleverly hidden large photo of the grass behind the hat. In other words, all of the grass isn't real. It's just a big poster that blends in to the real grass around it. The photo of the grass hides the person (or a hand from off screen) handing the items to him through another hole in the grass photo. Very clever.
If you think he lied about video editing (because around the edges of the hat there appears to be a blur from the poor composting). But what you're actually seeing is the shadow of the hat hitting the photo of the grass behind it. If he would have moved the photo of the grass back slightly, or if he would have lit the scene differently, he would have been able to hide the shadow being cast on the fake grass photo. Does that make sense?
I think that first rope trick, could involve the magic of neodymium magnets.
Exactly what I thought. He wasn't threading the rope, but disconnecting and rejoining with magnets.
Agreed
STAHP! I don't WANT to know! siiiiigh lol
...and he wasn't running the rope through his hands at the end but miming the action to keep the join hidden in his hand.
@@star_man LOL. Ah I see what you mean. So clever. I love magic tricks.
"I don't know" is the most intelligent thing you can say.
A wise man once said "say 'I don't know,' and you'll learn everything."
To see a magician frustrated with the magic he is seeing...priceless. Funniest video I’ve seen of yours. Keep up the good work and the promotion of others.
That dude is good. His glass table has a massive hidden shelf from the edge that is parallel to the perspective of the camera which is why its so convincing. He just slid the coins onto it. And the string is just a magnetically or mechanically joinable string that comes apart. He executes his tricks well. And he gets my thumbs up for his cheerfulness!

Rope Trick:
Rope is made of three parts
Ends have magnets
Either that or jekiyoo is actually doing camera trick here which would be lame. The video skips a bit and stops for 2 frames while he's creating the loop.
I saw it at 4:22 to 4:23 in slomo. You can see when he makes the first loop the end that he loops around is not the end that pops out. You can see it pops out from the other hand. That's when he makes the connection to form the loop. If you follow the rope it's at that moment. The rope looks like one piece and the loop another.
I don't think it camara trick, I saw a video where he performs that trick live in the majic castle.
I think it's made only of two parts and three magnets were used, one at the end of the "original" rope then two magnets initially joining the two seperate ropes. The rope got shorter so it only makes sense that he actually made a loop out of the part of the rope
@@marc3542 That seems a plausible explanation. It still requires pretty high skill to prevent displaying the seams to the camera. Using only two parts sounds correct and allow pulling the rope out of the loop without fearing the magnet connection to fail.
15:36 I LOVE THIS REACTION:
CHRIS GOES FROM "THIS IS WELL DONE, I KNOW HOW HE HAS DONE THIS BUT, OH IT'S WELL DONE"
TO
"STOP IT YOU DEMON SPAWN OF HELL"

I keep watching this 17 times and "OH MY!"
@ 9:00 if you take a better look the slider which cards go through is slightly angled towards him so i believe there is a pocket on the back side where the big cards go and he only pushes small ones through the hole. At least that's what i think the trick is
fun fact: Chris's tattoos are actually all video editing.
*Heard of
Edit: ^ This only makes sense if you saw the 1st of the 3 titles LOL
8:43 There is a mini slope-slide (black color) behind the glass. From this perspective you think that black thing is only above the glass. In fact opening is above for small cards and at the back there is a slide on which he throws big cards to hide it from us.
