Chris Ramsay Are you planning to come to India?
chris ramsay, what is your favourite type of magic (mentalism/cards/etc...)
Congratz to my buddy LoVell Illusions! Great channel! Lucky dude won two Russell & Morgan decks from me last month!
Thanks for having me on bud! 👊 Can you do a trick where you make the Leafs win the cup??
Tutorial starts at 8:37
Such scam lol right at ad and thanks
Yaani Mani thanks
Yaani Mani thx
Youre the real mvp
That information was more magical than the trick.
This is another great method taught by Chris. Though, for anyone saying, it felt obvious that Chris was writing down the person's answer, I too felt that, but I have seen this done in a slightly different way that gets rid of that issue.
Use the same force, but tell them you will get to that later (Or force a specific card and ask them to remember it for later.
Then ask the first question, but ask them to "Think about it". ie, "Think of a 3 digit number", then write your prediction of it (You actually write the card you forced). Ask them for the number, and when they say it (i.e. 128), you can act kind of disappointed like you didn't write the correct answer. That way you have your "prediction" written BEFORE they announce their answer.
Then ask the second question, again using the word think, "Think of a person's first name who is important to you"... You write your prediction while they think... You stare into their eyes, use all the mentalism patter, "Say it over and over in your mind", "Really concentrate on it", then you write down 128 (or whatever number they told you on the last question). Then ask them for the name. Again, feel free to look disappointed.
Then you ask them to remember that card, or say you're going to make a prediction about the card they cut to. Then you simply write the name they said a moment ago.
You now mix the cards a bit, and ask them for the number (going back to the "first question", then the name, then the card, all while showing your correct predictions.
Just a thought on improving the method's timing.
Thanks again Chris for being awesome! Even in a 2 year old video!
He named his son
"Ma *son"*
wow
I hate and love this at the same time.
Lol
I hate it
but i love it
he is everyone's son. everyone calls him "my son"
I think the timing works better if you say... "Think of a number. Now let me write down my prediction". It would help reinforce that one thing has ended and another has started. Otherwise it kind of feels like you are writing the answer from the last question before you ask the new one.
Oh, gee, do you think?
I agree. It's a great trick and your tweak makes it even better. Tell the subject to think of a number, and look me in the eye while you have it locked in your brain. Then write down the prediction, which is the prior answer (or the card you peeked). Continue through the progression. On one of them, you can pretend to be experiencing a weak connection and ask them to concentrate a bit more, and then say it is better. Or have them touch your arm while they concentrate on their answer. This works well as a way to be flirtatious while doing the trick. The more involved they are in the process, the less they think about how the trick might work.
@@DanLimbach *tell subject to think of a number * ...then how would you know what number to write down if he didn't say it out loud? are you banking on him thinking of a number and hoping he doesn't ask you i was thinking of number 99 but none of the prediction have 99?
The problem is that this particular card-force then becomes obvious.
You are right that in the video submission, the trick is very untrustworthy and the boundaries between query and writing are blurred, which is easy for an average bright person to detect. It is also very unfortunate to perform this trick over Skype. Since I have been doing this trick since the last century, I had to change its concept so that it was as trustworthy as possible, ie that there was a clear line between action and guessing. Here's my guide: I do it with a deck of playing cards (I don't want to carry paper and a pencil), which I throw all over the table face down and spread both hands across the table or pile them up, etc. Before I play cards shuffled, I remembered the card from the bottom of the deck, which is not a problem when shuffling, and I remembered its position on the table. Suppose it was Spades 2. Then I invite the person to point me with a finger to the Spades 2. I will say that I am not only trying to guess the card shown, but that I know in advance which card he will point to (these are two mental tricks in one!). Of course, the person and I do not see the value of the selected card, such as a cross 10. If she accidentally points to my spades2, whose position I remember and which has been said, the trick ends with great success by guessing the selection). Let's go back. In my hand is a selected cross 10, which I do not show the person. I commend the person that this is interesting and that we will try again. So I invite her to point to cross 10 (I have it in my hand). Again, if she pointed to my two of spades, which are still somewhere on the table, the trick ends with great success, because I would have both a spades 2 and a 10 cross in my hand, which I will show and praise that the person has the ability to choose according to my prediction. Let's go back. I have a cross of 10 in my hand and I invite the person to point to a cross of 10, for example. He chooses a random card, perhaps a heart 9. Again, I wonder and praise ... and now I say that I will pick the third card myself and declare that I will choose a heart 9, but choose spades 2. Subsequently, I think about the cards and declare that it is not possible that the person would have such predictive selection skills. She forgets that the third choice wasn't her when you deal three cards (spades 2, cross 10, and heart 9). Success is great because it's about three combinations of maneuvers than just writing on a ticket, and it gives you the chance to make an immediate guess when a person accidentally picks your card in the first or second withdrawal, because the cards really are in my hand. This trick counts on plan "B" and is as trustworthy as possible.
when I tried this the first time I kinda butchered it and they were like did you mess up? I looked them In the eyes and said "the illusion went perfect."
Kylo Ren This comment is killing me😂😂
laughed so hard...you have to picture the scene :-) "The illusion went perfect"...now "abracadabra, let me dissapear"
Improvising is also a trick of mentalism.
😂😂😂😂
Me when people ask how my memtal health is doing
Thanks for watching, guys! Sending out good vibes to all of you!
Chris Ramsay nice video chris
Chris Ramsay needing those good vibes today for sure
Chris Ramsay Bro I like love your vids! Can we get one on fun simple magic tricks to do with out many or any props?
Chris Ramsay plz follow me on instagram Tomdunne52 I'm a huge fan
amazing video for mentalism
I think this works better when you ask the question and get them to "send you the answer" mentally. You then write the 'answer' down and then ask them what their answer was. That flow works better
cdg03 seems kind of weird to ask them the answer before you reveal then. Or am I missing something in what you’re implying?
It doesn't work like that. You'd be left with one less of a prediction card
@@lukaspechar No. Because while they are thinking of the number, you just write the card instead.
REALLY LOVE what you're doing with your channel mate, keep it coming and I'll keep watching and support yeah with you're refreshingly raw and original magic tutorials. You're such a good teacher in them too, covering critical subtleties in a short amount of time. Respect man. :)
Thanks Chris, can your magic work on the Maple Leafs? You need to make them appear in the Stanley Cup Finals
+Coach Jeremy - The Hockey Movement Maybe Ottawa?

Sorry guys, some things are just impossible.
Hey man love your vids they are so helpful
-_-just wow
I love you Chris, you are my inspiration keep up the good work i wish you all the best in your life!
your amazing criss your the one who inspired me to keep going in magic I love watching your Monday tricks I look forward to one every week
Am I the only one who thinks this is so obvious, I mean you clearly are writing what the person said afterwards.
Oliver Paterson I too feel that
If performed correctly it will fly. Just need to be a good actor.
Daniel Santos ????????
Sm here
All you idiots on this thread..... all magic tricks will seem obvious, once you know how to do it.
This was one of the best tutorials you have done. I can't wait to try this at my company trip this week in Panama
oldies always get suprising reactions, love the track aswell.. never a disappointed as always a pleasure bro love the vlog 😉
+bagoflime ♥️
Wait so this is the trick?
"Name a person close to you"
"Janet"
*writes down Janet*
"Oh look, I predicted Janet"?
Yes. It all hinges on the card, though. That's what makes it believable.
What makes it work is based on the fact it's a mentalist magic trick. What you're doing is messing around with their memory. You're not just writing down the answer, you're telling them what to remember as you do the trick. So like with the first card, he said he was writing down the prediction to question 1 making sure the guy remembers the first card is going to be the prediction to question 1. And then this is repeated. Mentalism is playing with the mind. No slight of hand or illusions. Just honest lying and manipulating.
@@kaibe5241 OP was being sarcastic.
@@Sivos909 OP was being sarcastic.
@@jason_v12345 I wouldn't be so sure, as a similar question has been asked a few times here.
This was a great effect and awesome tutorial! I've never liked that particular force but seeing how it was routined into this effect made me respect it a lot more and become open-minded to its possible uses.
I love this technique it's actually one of my favorites to mix into my routine a few different times because it's pretty versatile. ( Bear in mind I've only watched the performance so far have to stop cuz I'm on lunch, so I'm basing this off what I saw.)
already preformed it.. AMAZING REACTIONS!! thank you sm chris!
So happy I found your videos last year you're a huge inspiration man keep it up!
Another great video Chris. You have no idea how much I am enjoying your content and channel. Helping me get the confidence back to perform after 40+ years away from magic. Thank you!
+Norm Black ♥️
I love you recommending the books, it's such a good thing!
Have to give props for changing the thumbnail from your to you're, that instantly brought a smile to my face!
Hey Chris, HUGE fan of your stuff. I have been subscribed for a long time, and I literally watch EVERY SINGLE one of your videos. You are my role model and my inspiration for card magic and personality in general, and it is my dream to meet you someday. You're so funny and you're such a great person, and I hope you have even more incredible success in your career!
Thanks!
Max
Great video Chris! I came to this channel just enjoying your performances, but I honestly am becoming interested in magic and mentalism from a casual perspective. I'm always looking for new hobbies and interests and Mr. Ramsay you have inspired me! Keep up the great work.
I can`t even imagine how you predict the card in your performances, the last one for example in the Barber shop when you revealed it with the app. Sick
I actually figured it out as you did it! OMFG! I'm so proud of myself :O
I showed my teacher and she was so amazed 😂 Thank you Chris, I love you channel!
Chris. thanks for this tuturial. this is one of the strongest tuturials on youtube you have put out so far. love ya man.
When you know magic so well that you know how the force works before the tutorial... I had no idea what chris was going to do but I just memorized the top and bottom card.
R/Iamverysmart
this is actually a smart concept.. good job xD
Keep making videos Chris, I am learning so much!!!
Amazing video! Thanks so much Chris! Have a great time in Italy!
Ahh sneaky sneaky. I like it!! This calls for a beer. Cheers
Dude you deserve more than a million views on every video you make.
you inspire me . i hv been watching your videos for a long time now and you are just outstanding dude
Quitting full time job for this was the right choice. These views will go crazy soon :) love and support from india
Yes !!! I'm so happy of this trick, I was lokking for some mentalism and there is not a lot on TH-cam then once again thank you Chris you're really gool ! (cool and good) ! Thank you ! Can't wait for the next tutorial !
Am I the only one who binge watches some of Chris' content from a couple of years back!
I do too. :)
@@TheTownWatch 😂
i was rewatching your collections video and suddenly pow new vid
what a great trick
awesome videos
also have you watched how a spanish deck is like?
itl be cool a video about non "poker style" (?) decks
Miguel M hehe The video has been out for 2 minutes And you saw The whole thing?
Notis Katsa i was referring just to his videos in plural and in general not this one in particular and to the video he made about his card collection :)
if its unclear it may be a mistake on grammar cause im from spain so english its a foreign language to me
You know I was just watching the video
THEN I SEE HIS HAT
Hey Chris thanks a lot I really appreciated this video. Been wanting to learn mental-ism for a while thank you keep up the good work man.
Chris i was just looking for mentalism material, man you are the best.
wish you all the sucess you want.
Hey Chriss. Where can I find a ring like yours with the blue stone ? Great vids :P !
Stoyan Tonchev same question
30l backpack
It’s turquoise. Look it up, it’s kind of expensive if it’s real turquoise.
That's lot better than most reveals out there, but here's a question .. how do you do this, if the predictions are on a whiteboard and nobody has access to them?
Personally I'd take this trick beyond anyone's understanding, i'd use flexible screens. In fact I think some magicians have already used them (never seen anyone reveal those tricks and by searching for those, i found this video). Then you don't have to write anything, you just need an assistant and a remote microphone, so your assistant can hear what people say and then write it remotely.
Awesome I have been looking for this kind of tutorial for a long time now.. Thanks Chris
I've been aware of the one ahead trick for a long time but I used 3 questions and ended with a 50/50 question like pick white or black. Ive always wanted to incorporate it in some sort of card trick and this was awesome. Great video once again. Cheers!
Last channel i expected to see Jeremy on
I said three of spades when Chris did and Completely FREAKED OUT! Chris you are a legend. At 3:18
from today on , you have a new sub. definitly gonna teach myself all the tricks you showed.
As soon as you said it's the one ahead principle I figured it out on my own. I saw you tell him to do the criss-cross force and since you showed him the card I knew what you were talking about. I haven't even watched the rest of the video and I'm gonna go perform it.
OMG you readed my mind when i saw the title i was like: lets ask him if i should buy 13 steps to mentalism

LOL. "readed", Dear God.
How long did it take you to notice what was on the underneath of his hat?
This is such a great trick! I find it mind boggling how someone actually came up with this sequence!
Thanks for once again pointing me in the right direction. You mentioned two amazing books that will soon be in my collection.
Literally, I keep looking at your hat more than anything. It's quite distracting!
bound2thefloor yeah dude😏😂😂
chris: my eyes are down here bud
bound2thefloor I know right
Frankly, I was sure it would be part of the trick - mentalism involves the "trick" of somehow suggesting the answers that are supposed to be randomly given - such a hat would be a perfect way of this ;) ("Now, name a body part" :D)
Yeah, I was almost thinking that nobody else noticed that lol
I'd love to see some mentalism that involves peaks to things that they write down.
JakeMagicMan Yes please
Chriss the people want this!!
Very cool I’ve been watching Jeremy’s hockey vids for years.
That was awesome dude.
Thank you so much.🤘🤘
I predict you guys will chek the comments
Edit- tnx for the likes
i also thought 128 when you said a three digit number
Robbie Quance sameeee!!
Me too
I already know this principle but it never occurred to me to use it outside of cards. Thanks for the tutorial!
Congrats on 350K!!!!! Let's keep it up #RamFam
Please at indonesiaan subtitle because im from indonesia... I like your... Good luck
I also literally got the king of diamonds and thought chris was a wizard!!!!
One of your best. Will need to master this awesome trick. Thanks
This is great! THANK YOU so much Chris!!
Amazing concept but you're Killing me with the your instead of you're in the thumbnail😭😭😭

Jordan T Mauk Ahahahahahahah i love this 😂😂😂
And flat earthers always say "trust your senses to know what is true..." Nice.
Amazing! You're killin' it! Thanks!
I CANT BELIEVE THATS HOW ITS DONE !! 😱 love this Chanel.
When he asked for a 3 digit number, "I" thought 128... when he said the same thing I nearly choked!
This trick is known as "Anything" by Ben Williams. I literally just purchased this on penguin magic for $20 four days ago....
This principle is as old as the hills. Literally hundreds of years old. If you paid for this, I hope you got a great routine with it.
Beautifull effect Chris,very simple but very strong !
Thanks,Chris for this Amazing Magic Trick😊😊
1/52.. It was meant to be a joke but he has no idea it's funny because the odds are way off..
Lol how so?
I think the correct odds are 1:52^52.
That Girl on your Cap is so very Disturbing HAAHAHAH
Awesome, your page keeps intriguing me to try new things!
I had been looking for a good card trick for an hour or so and now I have found it.
You're thumbnail is a bit off.
wait, wut?
i feel like this really wouldnt work, i feel like even he wasnt really impressed and realized you had info then you wrote shit down, its to obvious that you had the opp to write after getting the info, the only one that got him was the first card, then after that this wont really impress i feel like
+whatarewedoing you should try it! It works!
Believe me it works more or less, I used to do this with just cards where I'm always one ahead with the cards like I tell them a specific card which position I know and then go through cards until I want to stop and just keep going with the one ahead principle
I just knew after he got the first one, he'd nail the other two.
whatarewedoing, done this trick you said and it worked really well and ye it's the same principle
You could also ask the spectator to repeat the questions in the order of you making the predictions. That way it will start with the numbers first, then the name, and then you can say: "I also made a (last) prediction of what you card was"
So in practice you could for example say: I made a prediction and then asked you to name a number (do you remember?), then you reveal it. Or you have them ask the following question/prediction so you can reveal it in order (number first, then name, lastly the card). That way they have no idea that you went with a different prediction setup.
Perfect example! Love it! These blank business cards are awesome, thanks for sharing #RamFam
Great video! I have been using this routine for years with various forces used including mathematical tricks leading to word from book, etc, and have always impressed people with it. I was so confused when you relieved the force first but it worked out anyway. :) Oops! I have always numbered them and folded the number inside. Then when I dumped out the glass full of billets I opened them only once to reveal the number of the prediction corresponding with the answer and lined them up on the table. These were written with #3 first but no one can see because they aren't quite sure what I'm doing yet, then #1 and then #2 obviously. When the see the numbers lined up it reinforces the idea that you were not doing one ahead just in case it ever crossed their minds. Don't call attention to it. It is visually self explanatory. I'm pretty sure the book I learned it from years ago wrote it out that way. I think your way, with the unnumbered billets, is good because you can't really get caught if someone got rowdy and tries to peak.
I tried doing this to my friends and they found out right away TwT
Sucks to suck.

COME ON NOTIFICATION SQUAD LET'S DO THIS!
fucking hell.. i sincerely hope you dont raise your kids to be as stupid as this comment
Use this to get peoples phone numbers on the down low lol.
+Joseph Taylor boom
hmm I think that might encourage them to give a fake number which may also later give a hint to how its done ... i dunno
You are an amazing example for me and for alot of magicians , love!!!!
Love this effect and principle. You can use it with a card trick as well. Shuffle the deck and show the spectators that everything is shuffled but you secretly look at the fourth from the bottom and remember it. Then tell a spectator to choose it (for instance 4 of clubs) and the card they actually pick is the ten of diamonds and then you tell the next spectator to take the ten of diamond and then they actually pick for instance ace of clubs then you say your going to pick it and pick the fourth card from the bottom. You can have as many cards chosen as you want. Ps like the new music

"Right. And I don't know either."'
Excellent lying.
I’m a hockey player and super into magic. Howtohockey was actually how I started playing, and Chris is why I got back into magic. What a coincidence 😂
The algorithms are onto you
i love "magic tutorial monday". keep pushing your subs Chris
What the hell at the start I also thought of 3 of spades
Damn.
the trick is pretty obvious ;) even without the explanation
The explanation is more amazing then the trick it's self, truly brilliant
I love that you're referring to books so much! Nicey! 😇
Think of a city, *ENGLAND*
This is great, I learned this in a different variation when I was a kid. Different set up same effect
sir this is the first magic of yours I got it before u explained
