Can beginners spot the pro climber? - Magnus Midtbø

This is just magnus slowly easing us into his cosplay hobby😂
Im waiting for the Eren Yeager climbing video
HAHAHAHA
'My name is Magnus, and in this video I will be seeing if people at a local climbing gym believe I'm really Harley Quinn'
He totally is cosplaying a character from New Kids
Give it a few weeks there will be a video of him pretending to be a beginner in a furry suit :D
He's playing it as such an interesting nuanced character it's great, he's simultaneously obnoxious but very encouraging to everyone, looking for friends in an intentionally awkward way, and a mix of arrogant and delusional but then insisting other people can do it too.
I think thats just a matter of him actually being a nice guy lol, I don't think he could act like an asshole if he tried
Character Actor Magnus Midtbo
Wow you described that really well 😯
He didn't mention sauna once so his disguise is blown 😋
i agree with this, there were definitely parts where its like "ooo cringe, no magnus no" then you see him be super kind and encouraging. im curious if magnus found this character tough to portray because it felt like he was trying to be the opposite of how he is
If that teacher was "acting" hes the real hero of this. He played the concerned teacher freaking perfectly, the squirming concern he had was so authentic.
He sold it 😂 so good
I genuinely forgot he was in on the prank
i respect that coach a ton. even though he knew it was a prank he still always kept his focus on whoever was climbing at the time. making sure they were doing ok and giving pointers and reassurance. even when magnus was explaining the parkour the coach told the girl on the wall "keep going , we're with you" letting her know she wasnt up there alone. Thats a fantastic coach.
The coach was awesome. He made me crack up. “That was outrageous. You’re a bit of a loose cannon” 🤣
The coach was cool
We are at the point where even in my small gym, I have to do a quick double take on any new people just to be sure they aren’t Magnus in disguise.
🤣
Well, if his disguises are like the last 2, it is not very difficult! 😂
The year is 2025. Magnus in disguise videos have taken over TH-cam. I visit my gym to go climbing with my brother. He has tried a handful of times and I finally convinced him to join me. As we sign in at the front desk, I notice a new staff member. A small man with glasses and bleach blonde hair. My Magnus senses are tingling... his accent sounds Scandinavian but does not match his tanned skin. "Magnus?!" I shouted. They all looked at me with confusion. It wasn't even him. The paranoia is getting to me.
"Nevermind.." I say to my brother as we put on our shoes and begin to climb. During the warmup he wears gloves and mixes liquid chalk with powder. Once we get climbing, he improves at a superhuman rate. 'It cannot be' I thought. Then he flashes 8C. It wasn't my brother, it was Magnus.
Distraught, I called our mother. "Mum, did you know about this? I was expecting my brother and instead I'm with Magnus Midtbo." The gym was loud, I found it difficult to hear her on the phone. Through the noise I detect an unmistakable accent. "Of course I knew son.... it's me." My fears were turning to reality. Magnus had replaced my Mother. Nobody was safe.
Me staring at the 12 year old black girl just so magnus hasn't transformed into her, okay what am I even saying
@@balladin9200yeah you have to rethink ur humour fam
Magnus trying to convince everyone to do the figure 4 was hilarious
And to wear gloves 😭 lol
Also the liquid chalk combination😭
But the girl did it!
yeah)
and "you dont need muscles! just the technique!" lmao
@@usualhumanxd353actually that part is true if you do the technique correctly it can save needing to do lock-offs. Not on that problem in particular though, especially not that many 😂
The way magnus looks back as the instructor talks ab his gloves mid climb lmao 😂
peak comedy
@@darcash1738 it was for sure just. Like "watch this bro" energy
i love how the accent constantly changed between russian swedish and finnish
I'm starting to think Magnus has been gas lighting all of us into believing he's a climber when all this time he's really just been a professional actor.
Nah, he's just using all these cheap Magnus impersonators so he can skip out while still generating content.
method acting at its finest
The "double chalk" was just pure gold. This is easily the funniest character.
That took the gold for me.Though now I have to try it!
girl said "its a porridge" hahaha
double trouble baby
“double trouble”
The classic clueless european character
we ALL need friends like the people in this group....despite his actions, they were still so kind, patient AND supportive! Awesome group and awesome vid!!!
True,i bet they all came together but still they are so kind and supportive even though they have beginner knowledge. Had a lot of fun watching them :)
They know they're being recorded. It will be different if there's no camera that is guarantee.
@@sheffrinsantos2080 Nope, if you have actually been around many people, you would know that most people are supportive and nice. Your bad circle has skewed your perception of the world. and it is sad.
"if ants have legs, use them" haha im crying..
"Powder and liquid...double trouble".
He is a natural comedian. Your quote reminded me of so many people from European countries that have told me a phrase that doesn't make sense in English, in that exact tone.
The tall dude is so sweet. Everyone is so patient with his awkward conversations. So unexpectedly wholesome.
most asians are too boringly timid for something like this tbh
it's sweet and all but the entire video just wasn't really funny the reaction were tuned down 80%
-do you play playstation?
-you play computer game?
-what don't I play :D
-ah we can play together...
@@hooho491that shit had me dying 🤣
This might just be the best character yet 🤣. Magnus' acting is so good!
its true his acting involved a lot ! i really enjoyed this video :,)
When he's going to be offered a spot in movie?
I dunno, this one is VERY over the top, but very funny! When he was showing the others how to overuse figure 4, the coach was looking around like "I don't know if I can let him get away with that!"
So incredible obnoxious, it was so perfect because there is no way anyone could have seen through the vale of a shitty beginner.
Not really looks or sound correct.
@12:30 I love you trying to convince them to do figure 4 comes off like trying to sell something sketchy/ shady
psst hey.. wanna do a figure 4 ;) ;)
Magnus trying to cover his trained and experienced muscles with hoodie is funny in its self
These beginners were so wholesome, i hope they get a proper beginners course after this without all of Magnus' shenannigans
me too
Yeah after they're arms are spent, what a good way to ruin a beginner class. 👌🏼
@@RD-js3uo No one said it had to be on the same day
@@RD-js3uo people just forget that it was a free class and they got to meet magnus?
The obsession with figure four is golden ❤
I liked when he asked you what computer game you play and you clearly had no clue what to answer 🤣
“What dont i play” 😂
😂😂😂😂
19:40
Note to self- don't give answers that you can't follow up on...
I was looking for this comment 🤣
lmaooo that instructor about lost his damn mind on that 2nd to last one, well played man, well played. Genuine interactions too you can tell you really brought up the groups mood with your presence
The teacher stole the scene just being a great teacher.
does he think he actually looks different
25:34
Nah, this time was really good. I didn't recognize him in the thumbnail.
I'm a bit face blind but this look would have fooled me (until he started talking)
This time he actually did! Impressive prep there
This time he did actually look somewhat different, the really dark brows and stache were doing some heavy lifting.
This was really funny. The double chalk, the figure 4 and the parcour moves were gold.
When he did that stupid ass parkour vault 😭😭😭😭
@@bolerpear967you don’t really need training for what he did 😂
I liked the yellow/orange tshirt girl while Magnus explained the double chalc, I could read her thinking so clearly in her smiling face :D
Great Vibes all around in this group .... was wonderful to watch & hope that they keep in touch ❤
The biggest surprise here is that a Magnus is an amazingly believable actor, with very subtle comedic instinct.
sick parkour bro! you gotta teach us that bench move :O
Storror and magnus video would be absolutely sick
you guys should do a collab lol that would be sick
It would be absolutely fantastic
@@flamescion4946
Idk if if the boys at storror would be up for it, the swan dive isn’t for rookies
Storror climbing with Magnus and then Magnus doing some parkour with Storror would be two epic videos to watch.
Girl: "Where do you do parkour?"
Magnus: "In the parks. It's 'park'-our."
And I'm dead...
The Girl is Emma and she has YT channel @TheSeaStrings
LMAO I KNOW RIGHT
No your @axelfoley133
Cracks me up at 19:32 "Playstation? Play some playstation?" hahaha love the energy
That first jump where he fell was hilarious and so well done! Then Magnus talks about using gloves, encourages others to use gloves, and then he chalks them. "In Finland, we have a saying, 'If an ant has legs...use them. If you have legs...use them' ". LOL!
I want to be as good as Adam Ondra, "I think if I train maybe 3 times per week I can do it"
Haha, quotes to live by
This bit had me giggling like a school girl.
"So when would you want to use a figure 4?"
Magnus: "Every time you can."
I literally died inside when he asked them for their facebook
Genuinely impressive acting skills. I like how you slowly ramped up your skills.
The gloves, the ridiculous dynos, figure fours, parkour athlete, world championship aspirations ; the little details of Magnus’ performance make it pretty convincing and hilarious!
The parkour kong vault over the bench onto the matt was hysterical.
Yeah, really smooth!
Absolutely. stitches
i like how he really blends in with the diverse group of beginners. you wouldn't've even known.
The only way you can watch Magnus' videos is with a smile. Great content every time. Love it!
The most talkative Finnish person we've ever had the privilege of witnessing!
Well, maybe he was drunk.
Thank you guys so much for 2 million subs😊🚀
Congrats! 🎉
Lets go Magnus! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Thanks you for the great content!
Congrats Magnus 👏🏻👏🏻
thank you for being a great human being and an extraordinary climber

INSTAGRAM
Having a rough few days and this video made laugh out loud a few times. Thanks Magnus!
It's always so nice to see even the new climbers be so welcoming and trying to help each other so much
They were the sweetest people
And they all speak such good English!
@@val_val_yeah it’s almost like climbing can transcend language and cultural barriers. Climbing is a universal language everyone can understand.
@@val_val_ All of the Australians speak such good English? It's almost like English is Australia's national language.
was thinking the same thing lmFAOOO@@MonoMan1
As a Finnish person I approve your accent
13:02 "if the ants have legs use them"
is that a real saying in Finland lol
@@WPTheRabbitHole no
@@WPTheRabbitHoleYep
Talks too much tho 😂
Hyva
I do not follow climbing, however I do know Adam Ondra, because I am also from Czechia, and it really warmed my heart when you mentioned him at 6:49 :)
Otrolig kontroll, styrka, teknik och uthållighet. Fantastic!
better disguise this time. You had me laughing the whole time. Especially when you were trying to convince everyone else to do figure four on boulders that definitely didn't need figure four. This is probably my favorite of your under cover videos so far. Keep doing what you do. You're making the world a better place.
The disguise is actually good this time lol. He had a Clark Kent disguise before.
It’s amazing how amazing you can go from utter beginner to world class in one session 😂
Must be a great coach 😂
It’s the Aussie coaching.
22 years? More like 22 minutes.
Three times a week to be world champion!
Gotta be that double chalk... and not to mention, those gloves keeping his hands nice and grippy!
the teacher saying gloves aren't optimal and Magnus spinning around and death staring him 😂
This is my first time seeing a real pro climber and Magnus and I gotta say, he really pulled a great acting and now I'm used to and preffered seeing this Magnus than the actual Magnus compared with the other videos.
You're playing the "[there's always that] one guy" so well! My innards were squirming, yet these people remained unphased and friendly. Kudos to all!
PS. You really owe them that Facebook group now 😆
"my innards were squirming" ????
@@willemakkermans4067 yeah where's the facebook group😂
This disguise thing is getting to a point where you can actually believe people didn't recognise Magnus. Well done 😅
I think he needs a scruffy beard next time. That jawline alone is recognizable. ❤️
I love how nice everyone was being to you even though you were being insufferable.
They were such a great group of people.
The parkour bit might be one of the funniest segments so far; launching himself into a belly flop is just pure gold
I love the physical comedy. His old man faceplants in another vid were gold 😂😂
I don’t know how anybody held it there, I would have lost it
Magnus asking everyone if they want to wear gloves and showing everyone the mixing of chalks is like a kid in school who learned a new trick and shows everyone to look cool !
Dude is insane! Super strong and perfect technique and flexibility.
Don't do climing, Im more of a power lifter and fighter, but this is insanely good!
You got yourself a subscriber!
Never thought this was so fun to watch!
Such an awesome group. They were so encouraging and supportive! I love when I meet groups like this
9:16 “You’re a little bit of a loose cannon” 😂
I love this absurd version of Magnus.
Also, you were trying to get that tall guy to do the figure four sooooo hard and he just wasn’t having any of it 😂
Your disguise looks a lot better than the last one! Way to go Magnus!!! Also, this is a super cool video idea!!!🙂
Good sarcasm! 😂
@@jamestopliss7029there wasn’t sarcasm though?
Good stuff 😂 kudos to those beginners. They're really concentrating on learning. I hope they go on to do well and enjoy
@23:09 , the guy teaching the class :) haha. my days he's frozen in time after seeing magnus execute that move. Stunned and shocked with some anticipation! haha Great video!
One girl knew exactly who he was immediately. Right after he fell on the first climb she looked at him with a huge smile, and again when he talked about the gloves.
🤣
@@boogaloo4640 looks like @theseastrings
Her boyfriend put the Handy at the end behind his Girlfriend 🤣🤣😅
I think she just thought he was hot, which he is lol
jk actually watched the clip and she def knew, maybe I just wanted to say he's hot
Lol, I think every climbing gym in the world is primed for an appearance of Bjørn, Erik, or Johannes 😅. Back with the Cliffhanger gloves 😂
It would be awesome a video with the 3 of them making a colab
You sir, just gained a fan. I'll keep watching and one day start myself.
Damn that was hilarious. So committed to stay in character. amazing
This one is such a special character you can't even put your finger on it lol -He's exuberant, obnoxious, arrogant, naive, and also kind and encouraging ALL AT THE SAME time lmao It's quite strange hahaha Love the acting
I think it's the reap Magnus peeking through an obnoxious character. He just can't not be nice lol.
I mean honestly makes it all the more believable. People usually aren't just one thing, but a mess of all these traits.
You really outdid yourself on this one Magnus. The costume, the acting, the mixture of arrogance and encouragement. Really well done!
yup, they difinitely thought he was a beginner after their Japanese tour team was paired with a white guy and the camera crew was 99% recording the white guy...they had no idea at all something was up right?
@@bck187*lol for reals, did only Asian people sign up for free beginners class?*
@@bck187 Japanese tour team?
@@HyeonsikLi yeah, have you not ever seen a bus full of Asian tourists visit another country? they split up into teams for events because there is so much, i mean what else do i have to explain?
@@bck187 and you think all if these asian people were from Japan? Even tho some did not particularly looked japanese nor did they have a japanese accent. Not even any accent. They were most likely locals.
@5:47, DIED laughing. Had to call an ambulance to revive me so I could watch the rest of the video. Magnus...you have a talent for comedy-trolling.
It was very hard to watch Magnus be so cringe, that class of beginners were so cool and laid back made this video fun to watch. Really cool idea Magnus!
his hyper fixation on the gloves is so funny even after the instructor explains that they arent so good he still brings them up over and over 😂 😂
its hilarious
"What don't I play" killed me 😄 Nice save!
The look on Magnus's face when the guy reverse uno'ed him was priceless 😂
I'm starting to think this man's never played valorant in his life 🧐
Came looking for this lol, You can see that split second where he's like shit, i don't know any games
@@a910 haha same, save of the century
I was thinking there's no way magnus plays video games haha
So good at ruining a good mood while still being nice. Love it.
The coach was a standout, very professional, impressive
Still waiting for Magnus to drop the climbing glove merch
YES!!!! YES PLEASE! :)
Rugne should make a limited edition collectors item. The magical climbing gloves 😂
Wide boyz special Magnus edition maybe??
The figure 4s had me dying 😂 “when do you want to use Figure 4?” “Every time you can”
😂😂😂
The neck tatt was totally convincing!😂
I love these types of videos. please make more!
This is BY FAR your best character, could be a Sasha Baron Cohen's one, well acted and pretty hilarious, great job Magnus!
The comradery between the beginners and the constant support is really cool
in my experience this has been basically everyone across 2 gyms and 5 months climbing, it really is a supportive community
@@Hankisabossagree, humble too
Bro I'm not even that arsed about climbing, never been climbing once. But you are just a proper wholesome guy, enjoyable to watch! Fuck it il sub if this is your bar 👍
@14:50 "put your hands in there, it's sticky 😏"
magnus i don't know if you realize how good of an actor you are-- your physical comedy, timing, wit are all SO good. your comedy is genuinely so impressive it makes me think you have acting experience!
Who knows maybe he have some in his youth
He's actually not a climber at all, or even Norwegian. He's Daniel Day Lewis' nephew prepping for a role in a climbing movie that never got made. Magnus? More like madness I'm afraid.
for real. he would have been famous in the silent movie era
What a friendly grp, the girl in white was so supportive, immediately saying 'I believe in you with no hesitation'
I dont even climb, but I watched the complete video......then subscribed 😂. Good job, this is what TH-cam is for, spreading joy and learning new things
"What don't I play?"
He couldn't think of one computer game! I laughed so hard.
Amazing acting as always!!
As a Hungarian I can confirm that in Finland we indeed have a saying "If the ants have legs, use them"
😂😂 we also have that here as an Jamaican
Don't know what it is, but the kindness of the people in this format always touches me. Especially in the end of the video I got a little tear in my eyes 🥲
Really good video! Super entertaining, fun and wholesome. Just love it!
It‘s called real life, you could try it if you‘re sick of the internet hate etc
if i see an actual beginner climber being this enthusiastic
bro i'd love to befriend them for life
it's so cool to see him move around so out of the ordinary like that
it's like it's his anime protagonist intro scene
I’m trying not to waste time watching TH-cam videos these days, but I took a chance with this, and I have to say that it was a fantastic watch and made me laugh out loud multiple times. I am satisfied by this video, now I will get on with my work with a brighter mind!
That was absolutely hilarious. Favourite moments were using figure-4 up every single move on a route, or that amazing cat-pass to face plant.
also love the heavy breathing after that part and saying “it’s no power, it’s only technique”
it'd be hilarious if Magnus found out the rest of the group were also elite climbers in disguise, and someone just go flash the paddle dyno after him.
This is awesome. I want to go rock climbing now!!
2:15 guy in the background couldnt handle it
Laughed out loud so many times. The "double trouble" and the parkour over the bench is crazy
i burst out laughing at that "dive kong" hahaha that was gold
Well executed prank. Magnus definitely hit the right balance of being blunt yet respectful.
The only person interviewing all the others. Lol. And answering all the questions in a beginner class. Lol.
I never would have thought.
This is the best video I've seen on youtube this year
Double chalk, parkour... Finnish ant wisdom. 😂😂 This truly had everything. 😂
Loved everything about Johannes.
I think we need Finnish ant wisdom new merch
DOUBLE TROUBLE
dont forget the gloveshahaha
This is your magnum opus of pranks Magnus, great video idea, great execution and your acting is hilariously good, loved it
Magnus Opus
magnus opum
I love the character Magnus was playing here :D
Between the two times in my life climbing, on second time I discovered the upper body strength and grip, though necessary, only provide a fraction of the force required. It is all in the legs, hip strength and mobility, keeping center mass in line with hands and feet. The first time my arms gave out on an intermediate rating climb. The second time I was to the top in just over a minute
