Society now days has become boring a dull. Theyd rather stare at fb Instagram and Twitter than be engaged in something happening right infront of their face. They can't even watch the show without the phone in their face recording it. They will actually watch the show through their phone. 😂 As far as jokes go, it's like they don't get it. They're good jokes, but it's like they're afraid to laugh or EVERYjoke just isn't funny to anyone anymore unless it's a racial or offensive one. Then they'll bust a gut laughing at the misfortune of others.
"Jesus!" "No it's Hannibal, the hair and the beard maybe threw you off". Even if the trick remains the same, the showmanship and charisma of this guy, seriously!
THIS is a magic *act* as opposed to a magic trick. There is just so much witty comedy here, that I forget to even look for how the trick is done, I'm just enjoying myself. This is how all magic should be, showmanship is the key to a great act. Not one person ever looked away or checked their phone or watch, they were entranced from the first moment. You also can't tell where this is going at any point, you want to see how it ends just like a good book. Really fantastic job, I'm impressed.
The best part of rewatching this is that no matter how many times you see it, or how thoroughly you know the trick, it never takes away from the rewatch value. Always entertaining
I keep coming back to watch this because as Oscar Wilde once said, a book that's not worth reading twice is not worth reading once. This is worth watching 10 times (or more?) so it must be damned good.
I love when magicians try to explain how they are doing a trick and then proceed to break every logical explanation that they just made to the audience. Great work!
The thing I love about magic tricks, is everyone knows they're tricks. But the Magic comes from geniuses like Hannibal making us forget it's a trick :) I just absolutely love it.
I've watched you do this routine multiple times (I've lost count) via TH-cam. You are really good. I keep telling my friends that it isn't about the sleight of hand (which is at least as good as any I've seen anywhere). It's about the story. The patois. It lifts your routine above and beyond. Thank you man, you are something else.
The showmanship is what makes this just so fantastic. The combination of incredible magic skills with a very witty humour just wins the audience over every time. I always enjoy your videos, thank you for uploading!!
Incredibly well rehearsed and tight set with full commitment and strong pacing. Ignoring the great magic sleight of hand this from a showman perspective is someone who has put hundreds of hours to their craft. Respect
In each video you can see that is the issue with Pen&Teller auditions that Hannibal had. He really needs real curious people around. And I suppose in auditions it is big issue, as people are frequently hired, lot of them are super tired from long takes, lot of amateurs who apply, various commands of producers and they are not properly warmed up (they are, but not by performer). As he is not "just another magician", he knows how to deal with people, he is preparing them and deliver astonishing performance keeping them happy each second. Tricks are mostly long known, but it is not the single point of the performance. This guys are looking for an good shiny original and unusual V16 engine, but engine can't deliver you from A to B, only whole car can. On such shows they are providing (or failing to provide) all other parts and tightly control them, like AGT that lately turned into mostly staged cuts, faked items, secret preparations and TV tricks. With Hannibal if you look on 3 different versions of this cups tricks - this, bar and front camera close you can see that all of them are performed technically differently in lot of parts. And this is real mastery.
he got distracted on the "while I will lie, I will not cheat, and you can believe that because that's true' my favourite part. Just a class act my friend, I would love to see one of your acts in person one day. I'll be sure to look you up if I ever come to the states and am anywhere near Hollywood. I wish you all the best Hannibal.
Once again...watching a Mr.H magic show, even though I've seen this at least five times, makes me smile like a little kid. Don't ever tell us how you do it, Mr. H. Just keep doing it. Remember the fun we had believing in Santa? Same thing here with your magic.
In my opinion after watching you pre pandemic and then in isolation is really tuff. You sir are the consummate entertainer with wisdom beyond your years. Thank you for the enjoyment that you spread. Still working on the hash
6:43, first lime stuck in 7:48, 2 limes snuck in 8:05 Limes are revealed 8:11 Orange is snuck in very fluid and took 2 watches to get it right. You're awesome dude
The skill is effortless and the showmanship is A grade. This, and the older version of it, are probably my favourite magic vids on TH-cam. This is art as a performance.
Ugh I wish I was as good at presenting magic as you are. It's hard to know what to say in the moment when the audience talks or does something off script. I get extremely nervous and red in the face too 😔. However, magic keeps me coming back for more, I can't stop no matter how difficult it is to perform; now that's love.
I love your spin on the cups and balls. Ive never seen just two cups, yet you managed to keep producing items and surprising us. But your awesome magic, fresh upbeat attitude, story telling, and personality - you sir a true showman. Great job!
You're so much fun, Mr. H. I still enjoy these little skits even after watching them hundreds of times. For me, the magic is that it happens, not how it's done.
Third most impressive cup and ball act I've ever seen (the fruit's a nice finisher, but I saw someone use a canteloupe once), but nobody comes close to Hannibal's showmanship.
Man oh man you are soooo awesome dude, just recently found out about you and before I die I need to go to a show and meet the Legend himself💯💯💯My new favorite Magician
This time, added the explanation with empty hands, it is even better than in the "Second Oldest Trick" video! Congratulations, Sir, I just became your fan.
As im watching this i could see how the lime and the orange were put in and I can tell you that he is really fast and he can always grab the audience attention and make them focus on the ball.
I must say that when I saw this trick the first time, I had a feeling I figured it out, but then came the part with fruit. And I just gave up on analyzing. I love this trick, as well as others. I just think "magic" is beyond me.
@@bjorndewinter Absolutely. Smooth as ever. Yes, you can figure out just how it's done, but how exactly he achieves this and is so smooth about it? That's not really understood by me. Obviously it's practice and hard work, but the way the trick is presented to you, you feel as if you never wish to figure it all out.
@@bjorndewinter Yeah, I don't know about you, but I just watch an orange fall out of thin air, and completely believe he just plucked it from a portal. It doesn't even fit in the cup.
I watched all his performances and I still keep watching even though I know exactly what he does. Well, he explains it too so it is easy :) He's got several versions of this exact same show, all amazing for his unique style. Magic is just the sideshow.
Damn, this is so good. I have already seen the same act by the same magician twice already, and it amazes me one more time all the same. It seems I just can't get enough Hannibal. Hats off to you mister Hannibal, sir.
I was so disappointed how some of the jokes seemed to fall flat on that audience! I laughed a whole lot. Fantastic trick.
I think he does that on purpose. He plays off of there lack of applause. And it really adds to his act.
You and I will be the only 2 people cracking up at everything and then people assume we drunk af
I wish I saw this sooner, he's a good magician and comedian and he's charismatic

It looks like a corporate show which means of a joke is made they won’t laugh until the boss laughs
"Jesus!"
"No it's Hannibal, the hair and the beard maybe threw you off".
Even if the trick remains the same, the showmanship and charisma of this guy, seriously!
How come I keep watching the same guy do the same trick every day and I'm still not bored of it yet?
He knows how to work a room

“JESUS”...”no it’s Hannibal” I’m still laughing 😂😂😂
One of the funniest best sleight of hand magicians and he somehow always gets the absolute worst crowds
The best part of rewatching this is that no matter how many times you see it, or how thoroughly you know the trick, it never takes away from the rewatch value. Always entertaining
Hands down, my favorite magician!
I keep coming back to watch this because as Oscar Wilde once said, a book that's not worth reading twice is not worth reading once. This is worth watching 10 times (or more?) so it must be damned good.
Seriously, thank you.
Same, I’ve lost count by now
The perpetual balls phase just superb. The best
You could teach me every secret and trick there is to magic, but I will never not be amazed at this. The fruit gets me every time.
1:43 i think most everyone missed that, nicely done..
jesus, ive watched him do this trick 3 times and I still missed it till now.
I love when magicians try to explain how they are doing a trick and then proceed to break every logical explanation that they just made to the audience. Great work!
I can't imagine trying to continue performing while someone is making drinks around you. That might be the best trick of all
I've rewatched this so many times and figured out the trick and yet its so impressive every time I come back and watch it. good act
Thank you.
Even if you know how it is done, you can still not spot it in real time.
And that's the magic part.
The thing I love about magic tricks, is everyone knows they're tricks. But the Magic comes from geniuses like Hannibal making us forget it's a trick :) I just absolutely love it.
Seen this act from him before.... And it just keeps getting better.
I've watched you do this routine multiple times (I've lost count) via TH-cam. You are really good. I keep telling my friends that it isn't about the sleight of hand (which is at least as good as any I've seen anywhere). It's about the story. The patois. It lifts your routine above and beyond. Thank you man, you are something else.
I watch to be entertained but I always leave inspired.
Alright we all know you're a great magician but it takes a lot to be a great comedian as well, keep being awesome man.
1:42 I think that audience missed that little bit: right after mister Hannibal says "solid empty" he shows the stick, well, sticking out of the cup
This is awesome performance , dude is king .
That's just amazing. Moreover I can watch it again and again and it's still very entertaing.
Really glad you enjoyed it.
No matter how often I see this trick, it always cracks me up how he sells the swallowing of the ball. Love this guy!
That is one of the best moments for sure.
A true master of his craft. My day is always a little happier if I watch a Hannibal video.
Hannibal is the best! Why haven't I heard of him before?
The showmanship is what makes this just so fantastic. The combination of incredible magic skills with a very witty humour just wins the audience over every time. I always enjoy your videos, thank you for uploading!!
I love how he treats the audience as a bunch of nitwits and they love it.
this man needs a TV show - absolutely amazing sir!
Incredibly well rehearsed and tight set with full commitment and strong pacing. Ignoring the great magic sleight of hand this from a showman perspective is someone who has put hundreds of hours to their craft. Respect

Always a pleasure seeing an artist like this

You are the MOST ENTERNTAINING magician I have ever seen.
I love watching this on camera, I can't imagine how much better it is in real life
In my opinion after watching you pre pandemic and then in isolation is really tuff. You sir are the consummate entertainer with wisdom beyond your years. Thank you for the enjoyment that you spread. Still working on the hash
4:13 amazingly quick wit!
6:43, first lime stuck in
7:48, 2 limes snuck in
8:05 Limes are revealed
8:11 Orange is snuck in
very fluid and took 2 watches to get it right. You're awesome dude
The crowd was insane 👍👍 best One so far
By the way, I have binge watched all of your videos. All great and classic stuff. I hope you are well and live a long life teaching your trade.
You told them how it's done and they're still confused! Awesome work.
Would love to see this live
Me too.
Even to this day this trick (and the little variations you put on) get me!
10 / 10 for the performance and the jokes really great!
This is my favorite trick you do. I'd love to see it live. Perhaps one day.
Is the first time i see a trick again only cause the magician is so funny than i want to see it again but in other place
You do this trick so often, yet make it different every time, I love it.
Bread and Butter
"JESUS!"
"No.Its Hannibal."
I CAAANT. xD
I have to rewatch these videos,they are so good.
it's my second time watching it too
I love watching you work, man. You're SO comfortable in front of an audience.
Seen this a dozen times and it still makes me smile.
not gonna lie i have a crush on the girl in the background with the red shirt ##TotallyNotCreepy
Man explains the trick about 5 times and my brain is still baffled.
This is the coolest thing I've seen in awhile. Here's hoping I can see Hannibal live when covid finally calms down
I will come here periodically and rewatch it. Such a pleasure! What an artist! 🤩
The best magic goes with good stories. This guy has great stories.
I just found this guy today in a random video. I am impressed.
I love how you Mix two things into One. Magic and Humor, love it. ☺☺☺
Watching the audience reactions just adds to it.
Perfection achieved.
I'm very glad you enjoyed it!
The skill is effortless and the showmanship is A grade. This, and the older version of it, are probably my favourite magic vids on TH-cam.

So brilliant
Thanks!
I fear any man who materializes oranges out of thin air.
This is so awesome. Your style is unique. It is a real joy watching your show. Any chance of a tour in Germany? 😉😍😍
If I had these abilities... I would only use them for personal gain, mayhem, and evil.
Same.
@@HannibalSpeaks bro what...
😂
He has this down so well. Such a good routine.
I love your spin on the cups and balls. Ive never seen just two cups, yet you managed to keep producing items and surprising us. But your awesome magic, fresh upbeat attitude, story telling, and personality - you sir a true showman. Great job!
You're so much fun, Mr. H. I still enjoy these little skits even after watching them hundreds of times. For me, the magic is that it happens, not how it's done.
Hannibal : a GREAT ENTERTAINER AND TERRIFIC MAGICIAN ! WISH HE WOULD COME TO NJ .
These brighten my day! Hopefully someday when this pandemic passes through I'll be able to come to one of your live shows. They're simply delightful.
It's amazing how I kind of even guess how he does it and I am still laughing in excitement and appreciation. Superb.
Third most impressive cup and ball act I've ever seen (the fruit's a nice finisher, but I saw someone use a canteloupe once), but nobody comes close to Hannibal's showmanship.
Still as funny and brilliant as ever.
Really stellar version of this classic. Bravo!
This is even better than the first vid i watched of you with the cups! Holy Hannibal....
yeah what the hell this was amazing'er
It's been a while since your last performance video! Thank you for uploading, it is such a pleasure to watch!
Man oh man you are soooo awesome dude, just recently found out about you and before I die I need to go to a show and meet the Legend himself💯💯💯My new favorite Magician
I'm so glad this keeps coming up in the feeds
"the abs are a dead give away"
His line of patter is so good, I understand why people don't want to applaud, they want to keep listening!
I've seen it a 1,000 times! And it keeps getting better, EVERY SINGLE TIME! BADASS!!
You know when you show them how the trick is done and they still can't follow it that you've got real talent.
This time, added the explanation with empty hands, it is even better than in the "Second Oldest Trick" video! Congratulations, Sir, I just became your fan.
Nobody paying attention to him or the jokes, he revealed the secret to the trick before it started and the crowd’s just 🗿
Brilliant, bloody brilliant.
I've been binge watching your videos you are incredible
As im watching this i could see how the lime and the orange were put in and I can tell you that he is really fast and he can always grab the audience attention and make them focus on the ball.
I love this performance so so much it's amazing how well it's all put together!

he is very smooth with it but you can still see it. (if im not mistaking, he starts the move at 6:40)

World Class performance - the illusions and the presentation!!! No wonder one of your videos has over 15 million views!!!
I watched all his performances and I still keep watching even though I know exactly what he does. Well, he explains it too so it is easy :) He's got several versions of this exact same show, all amazing for his unique style. Magic is just the sideshow.
This is amazing! Even after rewatching scenes over and over, I can still barely see a thing... It would be a dream to see you in person!
The showmanship is just phenomenal. I could buy this guy a drink... And three limes (for a dollar) 😂
This was fucking beautiful
These are so fun to watch. I'm binging his videos in the middle of the night.
To be fair, that other cup is ASTOUNDINGLY identical. I am in awe of it.
I love the patter, awesome job!
Damn, this is so good. I have already seen the same act by the same magician twice already, and it amazes me one more time all the same. It seems I just can't get enough Hannibal.
Hats off to you mister Hannibal, sir.
You sir are a legend! I love your work!
Amazing version of cups and balls.
Well done
