    "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!

      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.

    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.

    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.

  • @personalview7388
    @personalview7388 2 ปีที่แล้ว +47

    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.

      No shade to the great Hannibal, but I think Penn and Teller wouldn't be fooled by his cups routine. The audience would love it anyway though, so maybe it'd still be worthwhile. I'd certainly watch
