@@alicookofficial We don't go on reactions, we go on proof. I'm sure it would be her DOB but. Oh she wrote on that pad and you have the DOB impression on the 2nd page and somehow gave it to the hot snake woman but I'd have to watch it again to see how she got the right coin into her mouth. Thx for commenting.
I am very surprised that no one is talking about how well executed the goddess is. visually it is quite powerful as something to see on stage. very good.
I usually find that at most, the background of a story is just a nice setting. With you, you can feel your genuine interest, and it was more of being brought back to ancient history to learn about it and enjoying a trick, than a trick. It's not even about the magic here. Would be awesome for you to do a magic history series where you take people back to history, what it would be like, and telling it through the ancient magic history you know. One of my favorite magic acts!
@@alicookofficial yep the history of magic by Melbourne Christopher I have that book that also has forward by David seth kotkin Copperfield and on on cbs tv commercial Copperfield suggest this book and other books in your nearest book store or library to help you read more about it
This is the best contest show: everyone is happy and smiling, even if the trophy is not won. Really nice performance, very interesting to watch. Thank you!
When I was going down a Penn & Teller rabbit hole, I really didn’t expect to see a live recreation of Alexander the False Prophet’s Glycon. Lucian would probably be proud of this performance!
That was one of the best performances I’ve ever seen in fool us! A truly amazing routine, and the focus on the magic history creates an amazing narrative that is almost impossible to ignore! Can’t wait to see more!
Absolutely loved the theatrical execution of this, definitely one of the most interesting performances on the show; a well told story, an excellent visual, and a flawless use of the fundamental trick behind the act, wonderfully done
The trick is great, but the thing that really amazes me is the fact that this dude is still reading and replying to comments. Big respect, my dude! Additionally, happy New Year! Wishing you all the best.
Another great performance by Ali..I still re watch the chicken and the duck routine due to its amazing delivery and showmanship. You are a natural on the stage. Brilliant at talking, great comedy. Well done..🤘❤️
Trick aside, I really love the aesthetics of the box. It brought back a lot of memories from my childhood seeing wonderful displays like yours that were both magical as well as being just a little scary. You did a wonderful job building that. Well done!
Thanks! It was built by Don Wayne and John Gaughan. The snake was made by a company who build monsters for Doctor Who. So a lot of people worked on it.
As a bit more fun to the act when he said she can even predict how many times a week my mum asks "When are you going to get a proper job?" The snake tail should have wagged really fast. 🤣
Would definitely watch a series about magic history presented by you..... More interested in the history and methodology than in performing, but it's hard trying to find good documentaries. Plenty of books, of course.
@@alicookofficial I'm sure you have the contacts to pitch it, in addition to the expertise and knowledge. Would genuinely love to see something like that - read various histories by Dawes, Daniels, and I read Steinmeyer as fast as he writes them. But it'd be good to see a well-made visual presentation. Do it :-)
Fool us is a amazing platform for magicians to perform their magic. I love that magicians perform a diversity of magic just to entertain everyone I still love the performance even if you didn't fooled them. Edit:and your humour was just outstanding
The girl that wrote her birth date on that paper is an assistance. Of course he & "snake" all ready knew that & the egg & necklace medallion was pre made. That's called "rat trap". He didn't fool anyone but you due too your numbness.
@@dewaynehickman4996 is that how it is performed? If so, that's not magic. Anybody can do that by having an accomplice. Again, if that's how it was done, such 'magic' shouldn't even be allowed on the show, because it entails no skill, just an accomplice who is presented as a stranger. In other words, a complete lie.
I really loved it Ali , anything to do with Egyptian history with magic is just brilliant . Haven't seen you for awhile on TV it's great to see you again . i'm a real fan of classic magic tricks i study the craft myself
First came across you on 50 greatest magic tricks. Was a fan way back then and still a fan now. The slight of foot trick on restaurant's greasy kitchen floor was magic in itself =]
I loved the routine, I think you should make a series about old magic and folklore, to get us into it via the story, and an accompanied magic act. It can be beautiful. Also, one of the last scenes of the intro showed a robot, so I thought the goddess was a robot as well. But the goddess was looking real, all the eyes movement, the acting, so real...so, she was real, right?
You know what it would make a great tv series. I should pitch it. In the intro reel that was an automaton - an early robot made of wood. As for the snake god she is just a goddess.
Amazing presentation... a really terrific big stage act. I don't feel fooled by the coin, but I would still get my money's worth to see this spectacle. I think you deliver a unforgettable, creepy experience..
I'm just a fan of magic in general... every couple months or so i'll binge on as much as I can... I've seen enough people doing the "write this down and then I'll guess it or put it somewhere" setup... but it really was interesting that it was on a coin, IN an egg, IN HER MOUTH... every time i've seen it before it's usually like, "ON THIS CANVAS THAT'S IN PLAIN SIGHT THE WHOLE TIME"
Just beautiful : not just the story, the elegant presentation and the "prop" and the actress inside, but also the captivating execution. I think I know how this is done but who cares, loved this!
Oh Ali - that was bl**dy brilliant! So interesting, funny, and engaging. I completely forgot it was a magic trick/routine - I was just lost in the performance. Doesn't matter you didn't fool them, because it was a wonderful tribute my friend.
The simple tshirt/attire is super relatable and actually made the performance more attractive to me, as it really makes it seem less like an act and much more of an experience
Hi. I’m glad you like the performance and thanks for watching. In 2003 me and my mates made a tv series called Monkey Magic where we deliberately wore jeans and a t shirt and moved away from the traditional image of a magician.
I don't know enough about the ways of the god Al Koran to know what you did, but I'm sure that even if I knew enough to see precisely what happened, without a reason to dislike said god, this was a very nice presentation
I swear seeing Ali here in this video has made my 2020 so much better. What a treat. You're awesome Ali!!!! P.S. I have never looked at a duck or chicken without hearing Live And Let Die since I first saw you on Fool Us. LOL.
Ali is a damn good and very inventive magician. He was on a tv series years ago in the UK called Monkey Magic, with Pete Firman Pete MCcahon and the incredible Jonathan Goodwin. Superb conjurer and an extremely likeable personality. Great act Ali.
I seriously don't give a damn how he did it, it ws just too entertaining, and that's what I came here for... Thanks for a beautiful effect, buddy.... 😀
The oldest tale of what could be considered modern magic goes back to ancient Egypt where 2 twins, never both seen at once, would do what is essentially a disappearing/reappearing/teleportation illusion. At no point in their lives were they both in public at the same time, so no one knew of the twins existence. They maintained this ruse until one of them died.
Good trick, Ali, I was amazed! Even though you didn’t fool, Penn and Teller, you still deserve much applause for a neat trick. You are indeed a wonderful magician, and the world needs to continue to see you. Please, tell your mother that you really do have a “real” job! Well done! Peace.
Great performance. I (think I) know how you did the first couple of tricks. Let's just say I think it would be very hard to play yahtzee with 5 of those dice. I have some idea of how some the main trick was done, but not completely. Definitely would pay to see you perform.
Well, if not mistaken you've fooled them already once, perhaps the third time you'll do it again. Above all, its funny and entertaining, so, congrats anyway! Cheers from Portugal!
I would like to see more of these "carny trash" illusions. The snake goddess was just acted and portrayed so good. Ali should have a matching outfit though - he has a great personality and definitely an "Indiana Jones" face, just his outfit here was so boring and not fitting to the mood of the trick.
I know how most of this was done. The dice, the coins, the fire. Just not sure about the final trick. Not sure how the snake had it in her mouth. Pretty cool!
Hi Ali, I have followed your work for years, my favourite will always be you catching that card between your toes! We met once and had a great chat with you after the show. Your style is just so crisp, upbeat and still a little bit cheeky, love it. Enjoyed the ancient mystery theme too - this trick is eggsactly the kind that will remain engraved on my mind for a long time ;) Most of all though my friend, you're looking good, you handsome devil haha!
Thanks for the lovely comments. I do a lot of shows on the stand up circuit so inevitably I got a bit cheekier over the years 😂. Catching the card with my feet was something I heard the Pendragons did. I never saw it but heard the rumour. So came up with a version
I hate the fact that you didnt fool me... But holy shit this is amaizing!!!.. The story telling, your face, your moves, your voice, they history.... Holy shiy dude I love it I love it I love it wonderful job and thank you for making my day better by performing this trick!!!...... P.S... Just to let you know you didnt fool me untill after I watched the video about 12 or 15 times ... After 15 times I kind of had an idea... But I still had to watch 15 more times to make sure I wasnt fooled... Simply amazing I hope to one day see you live... And once again thatsnk you for bringing a smile to my face!!!!
@@alicookofficial you had me with the birthday-well-before that;; how in the hell did you do that? my email is jmarmtgy@yahoo.com. share this with me,i'll never use it. just want to know. no matter what, i was blown away by the performance and hate that penn got it right. kudos my friend.
I have no idea how it was done, and i found the whole thing amazing. Was that really an actual woman being the queen's head? How did she get the egg in her mouth? I can catch a double lift, or pick out a false shuffle but this type of magic always takes me back to the wonder and enjoyment of have no clue. I loved the trick. Well done Mr. Ali Cook.
@@ebonypegasus9864 I swear she did something with her mouth during the routine though....maybe it was all part of the misdirection. Youre probably right.
I wish they would get some better camera guys on this show they always capture bits and pieces we the audience shouldn’t see... other than that this trick was absolutely beautiful... great job!
That's stupid. Why would you want to watch if they cut out all the actual magic bits? They already cut out the important parts far too often and if you wanted to watch "amazing tricks" that rely purely on viewing angle/camera manipulation you should just watch cgi or one of the millions of "magic tricks" where they just move the camera to make it look like a tank, a car, or some other large object dissapeared. While you're at it just go full chris angel and throw in a bunch of paid actors to pretend like the trick actually happened and rely on heavy post-editing instead.
It was beautiful to watch and many people like I believe, but there is no judgement exists while you are an magician, some will like and ll be surprised and some will not. But keep going bro good luck.
I think that the wagging of the snakes tail makes the effect so amazing! And I've read plenty about the god Al Koran. Is the snake goddess your significant other?

Absolutely wonderful and the literal centrepiece of this elegant trick!
@@mikesrandomchannel Thanks guys. Glad you like it
Especially if you imagine it in a dark carny tent with a fog machine and torches for illumination.
She was beautiful I loved it!
I think the best trick is 5:53-5:55 where the entire snake and box entirely vanished instantly from stage 😉
The magic of an edit
And the girl, she must have been in a hurry to sit down as well. haha

What a beautiful performance. One can only imagine how people reacted to these illusions thousands of years ago. I assume people were quite terrified.
🙏🙏🙏
yeah, back then the biggest trick was to walk the thin line between "this is god, let's worshipt it" and "this is witchcraft, let's burn it"
This is a really, really fun pairing of modernized old illusions. Great presentation!

Some crazy editing between 5:52 and 5:56, where all the props disappeared.
It’s just timing for the show.
You should give the props team a fooled us trophy
I think it was a magic trick
You know when you have a sophisticated audience when seeing a woman with the body of a snake and no one gasped.
The simple tshirt/attire is super relatable and actually made the performance more attractive to me, as it really makes it seem less like an act and much more of an experience

@@ebonypegasus9864 I swear she did something with her mouth during the routine though....maybe it was all part of the misdirection. Youre probably right.
@@ebonypegasus9864 you might think that a random member of the audience would notice that the die was all 4s.
@@dougaltolan3017 yup, you can see two sides are 4 at 4.15
Wish I was there. I woulda run up to the stage excitedly when he asked if there were any virgins in the audience
😂😂😂
Me too
@@AFC-xi8il where were you guys when I was filming this.
@@AFC-xi8il guf
You may not have fooled them but I'm an instant fan, I love your style.
Cheers Raven. Thanks for checking it out.
I wish they would get some better camera guys on this show they always capture bits and pieces we the audience shouldn’t see... other than that this trick was absolutely beautiful... great job!
Cheers Austin
That's stupid. Why would you want to watch if they cut out all the actual magic bits? They already cut out the important parts far too often and if you wanted to watch "amazing tricks" that rely purely on viewing angle/camera manipulation you should just watch cgi or one of the millions of "magic tricks" where they just move the camera to make it look like a tank, a car, or some other large object dissapeared. While you're at it just go full chris angel and throw in a bunch of paid actors to pretend like the trick actually happened and rely on heavy post-editing instead.
TH-cam algorithm recomended me this video in 08/04 , nice job lmao
Thanks for checking it out.
Great Magic with story telling! I hope you try again to fool them!
Hey cheers dude!
I must say this is trully a beutiful act!
Cheers 🥂 🐍🐍
That was a fantastic act! 👏👏👏
Cheers Tim.
Of course Alyson Hannigan knows what a new age bookshop is!
I know I should’ve thought about that 🤦♂️
@@alicookofficial I didn't mean it as a criticism. Was just funny seeing that question after watching Buffy.
@@superfluidity I know 👍
"ancient magic" - has the canaanite god of child sacrifice in the background
Yes because it’s a famous symbol of Idolism. And it happened quite a while ago 🤣
@@alicookofficial we see you
@@krollic I know the masons told me you were observing
It was beautiful to watch and many people like I believe, but there is no judgement exists while you are an magician, some will like and ll be surprised and some will not. But keep going bro good luck.
YES Ali Cook - always awesome bro
✌️✌️✌️🐍🐍
He seemed completely oblivious talking about his Mother's occult shop to "THE" Willow Rosenburg.
That’s a point 😂😂😅
Wonder if he knows she was "THE WILLOW"?
@@RabbitsInBlack I do now 🤦♂️
WoW i always love your shows,I am a big fan from Greece :) keep doing amazing works!
Thanks for watching!!!! ♥️🐍🐍
Lmaoooo I thought Tom Scott was doing magic for a second! Loved this video btw, and the jokes 😂😂😂
Surely the production of the egg with medallion in it is enough to fool? How did it get in her/its mouth?
Yeah no one seemed to notice this point.
@@alicookofficial Couldnt you have said to P&T "Hang on what about the egg?"
@@MavisRileyJunior I should’ve done but on stage you feel a bit nervous.
@@alicookofficial Youre competing to appear in Vegas ...being on TV is nothing comapred haaa.. But I get your point.
@@MavisRileyJunior I know 🤦♂️
I think that the wagging of the snakes tail makes the effect so amazing! And I've read plenty about the god Al Koran. Is the snake goddess your significant other?
Thanks!!! For checking it out.
@@alicookofficial But is Glykon your wife/girlfriend?
@@michaeleasler5249 That is another tail entirely.
great performance, congrats
Cheers dude
