Memorization like his is incredible but his showmanship makes him even more impressive !
This is the first time I've seen Nick Mohammed outside of Ted Lasso and I spent a WHOLE DAY thinking this was his natural voice until I saw him in an interview.
@@FinnyThePoolmao
He has a degree in astrophysics. His math and memory skills are legit. He's incredibly impressive.
Maths*
@@Doooooooooooood Why is it plurazied in the UK ? In the US it is just math.
Just curious, I think subtle language differences like that are interesting.
@@mimib8032 Because the full subject is. Mathematics - Maths. Mathematic - Math.
@@jamesodonnell8290 because when you do a math problem you’re doing one problem not plural.
@@jamesodonnell8290 Almost right. Both Math and Maths are plural. It's just Americans believe the plural form is a collective noun where as British don't. Bit like Water vs Oranges
Nick Mohammed has been learning/performing magic since he was a kid. He's in the magic circle. This character Mr Swallow just makes it even better. Reminds me a bit of Tommy Cooper although Nick let's himself do the magic part right.
I thought I smelled a magic trick, thanks. Doesn't make it any less impressive, of course.
@@fehoobar oh the memory tricks aren't "magic". There's no trick to them beyond using techniques to remember things. It's a skill and very real.
@@user-wx4jv6im7y that's brilliant 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This one is a magic trick.
@@fehoobar Autisms a hell of a drug
Alan Carr's awestruck face during the cards bit says it all.
That was wonderful. Never heard of this guy before but he is brilliant; not just the extraordinary memory but a great personality.
Good actor as well. He plays a more serious role in Ted Lasso and is really good
You’ll be even more impressed watching him act in Ted Lasso. I hadn’t seen him outside of that show, and I was shocked. I think you’ll have the same reaction, the other way around!
He’s good in ted lasso
He starred in life’s too short as the dating agency owner Toby 😊
@@thinkboxtripper he’s playing a character here.
It’d be a shame wouldn’t it.
That done me 🤣
I know, right?! LOLOLOL.
"aaaaah, feedback" bloody fucking amazing. Thats the feedback.
this needs way more appreciation than it has. Nick is an absolute genius
Omg, his character on Ted Lasso is so quiet! I had no idea he was this hyper! Excellent!
Even his voice is lower in the show. Truly a good actor. Can't wait for next season. I can still see his face in the cliffhanger
He's doing a character here though (Mr Swallow). Doesn't talk like that at all. Find a clip from Graham Norton or any other interview as himself. Sounds like a normal bloke.
@@christiannovak-zemplinski9749 as someone unfamiliar with his work this is blowing my mind.
@@giannipuface9441 this is a character he put on for the show. His real voice is nothing like in the clip
gonna say the same thing, you can almost make yourself believe they are 2 different people mad
Man, this guy is a wonderkid.
This comment deserves more Likes.
I think he said wunderkind
Omg hi fellow lassoers
@@Jack-ci3do so does he :D
I am Jose Mourinio
What an utterly hilarious, charming and talented guy. I've never heard of Nick before but I hope to see more. That was an incredible display
He’s pretty damn good in the TV series Ted Lasso
I mean I hate him as Nate but that’s only because he plays Nate so well!
The fact he could do the square root of that in his head shows his obv a genius
Either that or a decent magician.
He has an astrophysics degree from Cambridge uni. I saw him in a Footlights revue at Edinburgh when he was still at uni.
Mental Square roots are insane
Haha
@@TheWhisperDragon Wikipedia says he turned down Cambridge and went to Durham?
Ah man these old clips just getting recommended now and remembering sean lock is no longer with us. Makes me sad. RIP Sean
Also Bill Withers, who is sadly no longer with us.
Bill Withus
I didn't know that, I'm from America, so these videos are all I have of him, he's my all time favorite,..............
Honestly, I cannot get my head around how smart and talented some people are.
Love this - great performance, as much about his comic timing as his feat of memory.
Reminds me of the details my ex wife could remember from arguments we'd had 9 years previously.
Classic, why and how do women do that 😂🤣
Hahahah sooooo true. They have certain superpowers……..
😂🤣
@@bentilsley4305 Its the only ammo they have during a lost argument.
Boomer Hoomer
He has great comic timing too. I like his asides.
Alan Titmarsh singing Bohemian Rhapsody, so it's queen of spades. Incredible
*Titchmarsh
Ngl that spelling error made me laugh too 😂
@@ruqayyahqadri8180 didn't even realise, but now I prefer mine.
That was good , funny .
Being from America I have no idea who that is and why it's funny lol
It’s really sweet how much fun Rob is having just watching this
Nick Mohammed is hilarious in various cameo roles he's played in sitcoms like "This Time with Alan Partridge"
Everytime I see a Sean clip it makes me sad, but also so happy that I was able to be alive at the same time who had such an amazingly brilliant brain and sense of humour
I think that everyone thinks exactly the same. The guy was a genius.
I'll always remember him first as the guy trying to sell a phone in Sorry I've Got No Head. A THOUSAND POUNDS ?!!
I think the fruit stall one is my favourite, it made me howl. What a weirdly incredible cast it had!
It's too much! I won't pay it! A thousand pounds!
We need more of him in the world! Brilliant!
Great vibes from this guy! So fast to reply and sharp as well.
Rest in peace Sean Lock. I was really hoping the day would come where I'd bump into you on the train or in the pub, but sadly that day will never come
I never get bored of Sean's episodes or clips, he's my favourite comedian of all time
You can't write tears, but you can cry em
RIP you absolute legend. My kids and grandkids will be forced to watch your videos and play carrot in the box
PS. In my free time I sit in trees and spit at pigeons
I love that youve put this up on a post vaguely relating to a person who's died. Sean Lock wasn't in this bit nor in the video. Stop trying to get social brownie points you insecure narcissist.
@@matthewmccoll1739 sean lock is in this video
@@matthewmccoll1739 Lol he’s literally sitting next to the dude with the calculator
Wait Sean passed away? I didn't know, what happened?
@@mrrit he died!
That last line was phenomenal.
With his pinkie up, and all
@@oldvlognewtricks I know it doesn't matter, but I have to correct you.
It wasn't his pinky, it was his index finger.
@@danurban9591 Both!
@@oldvlognewtricks His pinky wasn't touching the cup, sure.
But it wasn't UP or OUT like his index was 👌
Person, Journey, Person, Journey. So clever. Humans are evolved to remember that shit really well presumably.
They should have this guy on more often.
They probably can't afford him now that Ted Lasso has taken off.
I wasn't expecting that accent. 😂😂😂
Ahhh, he's playing a character.
expecting bradistan one?
He sounds like a boxing trainer Dave Coldwell, I can't take Coldwell seriously anymore, I'm always expecting an operatic skit in the middle of his fight analysis.
to be fair, I wasn’t expecting it either because I didn’t realize he was doing a character with a high pitched voice. Also I didn’t realize he was British until Ted Lasso cause his American accent (in The Martian) is spot on
Completely different to his character in Ted Lasso 😲
Nice to see Nate doing well for himself
That card skit was amazing.
It was okay... Very easy trick (I can tell you how he did it if you'd like), though there is still a memory aspect to it with which he clearly is good at remembering things!
@@vincentpemberton3749 Just switched the deck out for one he has already memorized?
@@vincentpemberton3749 he is a “magician“ but this was not a trick. the dude is legit, this is just a character he’s playing (one of many he has.)
And he’s damn good at remembering things. It’s a skill he’s honed over a really long time, and although he’s a respected professional magician… this was no trick and he’s shown multiple times that his memory skills are for real. Which is really cool.
@@hullinstruments Yes his memory skills are phenomenal. What I meant by 'trick' was that he shuffles the cards infront of you. But what he does is a Riffle Shuffle - If you do that perfectly, 8 times, then the cards return to their original formation. So each time you Riffle Shuffle them [perfectly] they have a guarenteed order. That's why he checks the top card, because as soon as he sees it, he knows the following order.
Not denying his incredible memory skills at all!
@@hullinstruments He’s using a card order from Juan Tamariz called Mnemonica. He has the deck memorized but didn’t memorize it right there.
Not sure why I've never heard of this guy before. Clever, funny and good-looking.
Okay Nick we've found your secret account
I’ve been watching clips for months how am I now finding out of Sean’s passing??? May he Rest In Peace he was one of the main reasons I would watch
This guy is great - old skool English music hall/ working men's club humour.
WOW that card memorising skill was LIT!!! All whilst making jokes and bantering with Rob WOW
I love this guy
I love how much he makes Jimmy laugh XD
Literally one of my favorite people ever. I can watch the Jurassic Park bit over and over again!
honestly so proud to go to the same uni as him
I can't remember what I went into a room for,amazing
That must be awkward in a toilet sometimes.
@@fehoobar you wouldn't believe the confusion
Recently, I've read somewhere that going through doorways does something to the human mind. You just forget stuff. Maybe that's just made up. Now, however, as I walk through that very first doorway on my way to do something or get something, I make sure I think about what I'm doing. Seems to be working so far.
@@AndyCutright That is called mindfulness and it does work very well; It is about mentally noting what you are doing or your purpose, thereby making sure its logged in your memory. I say to myself i'm locking the door or i'm switching off the microwave when I am doing the task. Then I don't panic trying to remember whether I did it or not.
Bloody hell!!! How can anyone remember stuff like that.
You don't understand. He just calculated the square root of 32.36, in his head (if it wasn't a trick). There isn't a general solution for that as far as I know, other than trial and error.
well, he explained how he does it
Watch at 0.25x speed, he's doing a false shuffle. After riffling, he quickly puts all the cards in his right hand on top of the pile. So they never actually change places. I'm guessing he's memorized a single sequence of cards, which would be worth it if you are going to perform the trick many times. I think he also memorized the menu. For the square root, I'm guessing there are only a few different amounts possible when adding prices of any 3 items, since many items often have the same price. So he could've memorized the square roots. Anyway, that's my guess, but it's still impressive.
@@polycrystallinecandy - So you _think he also memorized the menu_ huh? GENIUS.
@@polycrystallinecandy The squares problem is just a matter of knowing the square root of about forty integers. The total price of the top expensive items is your upper bound. Say that's $40 or whatever whacky currency the British are using post Brexit. You only have to know the square root for the integer range of say [2..40]. So forty values roughly to remember. And if he modified the menu so prices are only in whole integers, so much the better. Everything always adds up to an integer value. I think the square root he "guessed" was about $32.
My Grandmother had the best memory in the world
She could remember things that had never happened
Mr Swallow has to be related to Nathan Shelley, it’s the only way he can remember all those set plays
Aww thanks rob
"aww thanks Rob" 😂
So excited he is on Taskmaster, i think he's gonna smash it. He's the complete package.
thought the same thing when I saw this. Only he turned out to be utter shit (no offense still love him)
@@darthvedder7664 Yeah, what a complete disappointment, the whole TM cast this season just didn't work. And off the back of series 16, which was IMO the best ever cast.
@@sonovadob I actually liked the season. I even thought nick being so surprisingly shit was extremely funny. It probably wasnt my favorite, but I think any series has great moments, great tasks and I never really disliked any of the contestants
There aren't 73 trillion combinations for a standard Rubiks cube, there are 43 quintillion...
What I was thinking
@@thejintymyster6396 "That's a big number, so it's probably right"
What's a few quintillion here n there???
@@jamgooandyou Just zeroes, and what are zeroes? Nothing, that's what!
He did say approximately!
Anyone else singing along to the Phantom of the Opera bit?
Love how the title says that Jimmy and Rob were speechless when Nick's whole thing was that they wouldn't shut up lol
It's so odd to hear his real voice!!!!! I'm so used to hearing Nate.
His final line is the best in the whole clip
Was Nick on helium when he did this lmao. His voice is so high
Impressive... but he was mean to Ted Lasso.
Yh exactly my thought, plus I never knew this was his real voice
@@alexhaffenden1466 it’s not, he’s playing a character called Mr Swallow
@@vaudevillian7 the whole time?
@@alexhaffenden1466 the whole time (it's all from the same episode - although the voice slips ever so slightly at one point), if you look up 'Nick Mohammed interview' you can hear his real voice on Graham Norton or other interviews
Dude trying to take Rachel’s job 😂
honestly what really makes it is his accent though
I love the absolute chaos 😅 this made me smile so much!
I am shocked and amazed. The capability of the human brain is magnificent.
That banter with Rob is hilarious
The playing card thing is a pretty well known method. What you do first of all is you learn to associate every card with each of a person, place, and event. You need to know those associations well enough that while looking through the deck you use those associations to turn it into a story that you can tell yourself. So like he began to explain in the video, one card is the queen who does the event of the next card, in the place of the next card, etc.
Amazing. Would make a good West Ham manager
This is very surprising after only knowing him on Ted Lasso!
This is what everyone that works at Wagamama’s has to do .
This chap showed me round a flat once, I forget his name but he worked for Anthony Stappan Rentals.
How can he be this good, yet so bad at Taskmaster?!
He’s soooo different than his Ted Lasso character
He is funny, he is clever and he entertains, I think that he is great.
That was bloody incredible. Thank you TH-cam algorithm!
They should let him do magic tricks on Ted Lasso. Like making himself disappear 😂
Utterly impressive!
Tried to learn the same technique once (probably from the same book) and also chose Alan Titchmarsh for one of the spades! Alas, after several hours practice my best time to memorize was 3 minutes..this is really not easy to do so fast.
Is that he same guy from Ted Lasso!??!?
Amazing!
Rob looks like the guy on the front cover of the bends .
Radiohead
Oh you mean to tell me that the actor who plays the character with the most character development is an actual genius? such surprise!
Mistitled - this is Mr Swallow.
It’s a common mistake, as they do look a bit similar.
This guy is now West Ham manager, damn.
He is amazing
Jimmys new hair does actually look a lot better than this old hair.
i love smart people so much
Nick Mohammed hijacked the whole game show.
Wooooow u r not allowed to be that smart AND funny
They should have him on Taskmaster.
Oh dear, characters from the League of Gentlemen have finally escaped from Royston Vasey
I am most impressed at the ability to square root a number to 4 sig. figs.
43 quintillion combinations on the Rubik's cube.
I’m pleased to be able to solve one side of a Rubik’s cube! Mr. Swallow generally annoys me. But,this was impressive I must admit!
So, he's truly a genius! 😱
I was having lunch in London's west end at Wagamama's when 9/11 happened - haven't been back since.
A tick with an attitude 😂
this was amazing omg
He’s a wonder kid
The wonder kid showing celebs who’s boss shit was impressive
Thats actually mad impressive
This guy is amazing in life's too short
I keep thinking “his face looks familiar but his voice isn’t like the guy from Ted Lasso”.
How is that last one even possible! I can’t remember my kid’s bloody birthday.
Clubbing in Seven Sisters had me cos Seven Sisters is a village near where I live 😂
The Phantom bit is great 😆
Absolute wonder kid
Underrated comment
This guy is part of my childhood nostalgia.
hes an amazing talented
