Hey Chris my name is Alex and I wanted to let you know I’m actually going to the Magic convention in Columbus Ohio I look forward to meeting you and showing you some magic
On the trick at the top: I chose the 9 of Diamonds. I almost went for the 4 of hearts but thought, "Nah, too easy. go with the 9." 😁 Loved it. Gonna try it out on the family.
In Spain we’ve seen Juan Tamariz on TV for decades. He’s sooooo funny, because not only he’s a magician, but a great actor. He’s the best card magician and the best entertainer, his tricks seem so simple and so impossible at the same time.
I'm from Spain and I've always thought since I was a kid that Tamariz is one of the GOAT. 25 years later seeing him in your videos makes me smile. His legacy goes beyond time and countries. Thank you Chris for so much dedication and passion. You spread knowledge and joy to all the people that love magic!

Los que tuvimos la suerte de crecer con Tamariz apareciendo con frecuencia en la tele no éramos del todo conscientes de lo importante que era esta persona en el mundo de la magia.
Tamariz is the best. The “air violin” he always uses at the end of his tricks has become a cultural thing in Spain and everybody knows where it comes from. I guess he was the person that made magic very approachable and relatable in my country. He had a very unique sense of humor and his mere presence brought a smile to your face. He is the GOAT
I saw him in person in the 90's in a friend's family reunion. Nicest famous person i've ever seen. He did the last trick in this video, but for like 3 minutes changing colors, numbers and in the end all cards were autographs and he gave one to my brother.
For me as a Spaniard, it is a pleasant surprise to see the enormous talent of Juan Tamariz recognized outside our borders. Tamariz is a genius forgotten by the public, but very loved and revered by magicians. Greetings and honor to you for doing this tribute.
thanks Chris for give the credit to Juan Tamariz that he deserves, I grew up with him in the early 80s, we kids love him more for his chaotic performance than the tricks, he was funny and too fast for kids, so we didn't have a chance more than surrender to this amazing and talented magician, applauding at the end with the invisible violin play. He always had a soft spot for kids.
@@landerviguera9575 Me too! XD And I am pretty sure that all the Spanish kids of the 80's do the same. I remember loving it whenever he showed up in 1,2,3
I'm from Argentina. When I was a child I had a collection of VHS of Juan Tamariz, and I binged them over and over again. In a way, he introduced me into magic. So I love to see you paying respect to this man. Awesome! Thank you
Pues yo tuve el placer de ver a René Lavand en directo en Las Palmas de Gran Canaria unos pocos años antes de su muerte y resultó espectacular. Que gran mago ...😊
Coño qué impresión, casi me da un algo. ¡¡Un argentino hablando bien de algo español!! Ahhh, que me da un ataque. Jajajaa 😅😅 Nah, no me lo creo, le habrán pagado mucho, ...
Man, I’m in my 40s, I was lucky enough to watch him through the 80s and early 90s on Spanish tv on a weekly basis… he’s the most beloved magician to ever exist in Spain and this took me down memory lane… I even choked up a bit 😅. Thanks for giving him the credit he deserves.
Those are facts man. Yo también en mis 40s y la verdad que son recuerdos que todos los madrileños tenemos o incluso cualquier español, taaaaarararara 🎻. Un genio de su época.
I am from Spain. I adored Tamariz when I was a child back in the early 90s. I remember asking Santa Claus the Tamariz Magic Box for beginners. Still to this day the quantity and quality of magic tricks that was inside that box is incredible.
I see him around town quite often, he doesn’t live far away from my house. People say that he used to welcome magicians from everywhere in his house once a year to share secrets and stories. What a great guy Tamariz
I'm from Spain and I grew up watching Juan Tamariz in children's shows. I was convinced, as a child, that he had magic powers. His performances were always absolutely absorbing and hypnotic, funny and entertaining. We loved the guy to bits, a genius!
ChrisRamsay52 today you brought me into tears. I've been following your channel for so many years, and more recently you've brought up a lot of my favorite magicians from my childhood. But I would never, in my life, thought that I'd see a magician on your channel that I didn't recognize but at the same time would feel so much "that's him!!!!" kinda feeling. I know that I've seen a lot of things throughout my journey, he's always been around, but seeing this video got me so emotional because it's the exact video I was growing up with, without remembering seeing this video … until now! Holy cheese balls (!) what a wonderful experience! Thanks for letting the rest of the world know about señor Tamariz!
In Spain Juan Tamariz is very well known and appreciated. I've been as espectator in one of his shows a couple of years ago. At one moment he was doing a trick with some cards. A camera was showing in a giant screen a very close view of his hands. He was moving the cards very very slowly. All of us saw how he, apparently, bypassed the card he should be moving (the one that he asked us to follow from the beginning and that we all thought we didn't miss from our sight at any moment) and moved another card instead. He stopped and said : "What? Do you think I bypassed this card? " and then proceed to show us the card...and it wasn't the one that everybody thought it was. He is a master at deceiving till the point that he has written books on how to control the audience. And it is known that the CIA has used some of his techniques. And he is also funny as Hell!
I'm not really into magic now and I don't understand why this video was on my feed but I have seen the name of Juan Tamariz and I had to watch it. So many memories came to my mind about when I was a child watching him on TV with my family. Then I really liked magic because of him. His personality, entertaining and with that sense of humor, very chaotic but funny and kind at the same time. He's a really good storyteller, he knows how to catch everyone's attention with those stories that doesn't make magic boring just getting a card, he makes a story about seasons, about betting for a card, predicting future, always something different and fun to watch. That is entertaining. When we were kids we were always playing that imaginary violin he plays at the end of his tricks. I didn't know he was in English shows too. Happy to see him and have a laugh again with this video. Thank you for sharing 😊
Please keep these magician features coming! It's been so cool to learn about all of these legendary people and seeing your enthusiasm for them is amazing.
I met him at his home in Madrid 25 years ago. I was singing christmas songs with my friends ("pidiendo el aguinaldo"), it´s like halloween´s trick or treat but in Christmas. He gave us money, candy and a few card tricks, it was an unforgettable moment.
Tamariz is one of the best known magic theorists in the world, with his mnemonic deck. Perhaps Tamariz is not known by the public outside Spanish-speaking countries, but he is known among magicians all over the world, as if we were talking about Newton in Physics.
He was really prolific in 80s and 90s Spanish tv but he decided to let go of that for some reason. Always a great pleasure to see him, not only a maestro of cards but also an incredible entertainer.
"I believe in your magic." Actually made me emotional. What a great line. 1.) Because it's emotionally meaningful in itself, and 2.) There really does have to be a level of trust there, and he's acknowledging it- the brief connections made between magician and audiences are brief yes, but meaningful just the same.
Chris,, you are a treasure and exposing your younger followers (i'm newly 50 and still want to grow up to be Chris Ramsay) to legends like Juan Tamariz, Lennart Green, Tommy Wonder, Bill Malone, etc is in itself a masterclass in magic - plz know how appreciated you are in our community and keep being our best teacher - thx for everything
I've seen Juan a good amount of times, I try to go to his shows everytime he comes to Barcelona, last time, she picked me to get on the stage with him. Not for a card trick, it was more like a sketch but my inner child was so happy to be there with him.
Here in Spain he is very loved. Nicest person, funny and a great master of masters. Been watching him since I was around ten years old, now I'm 45. Never got tired of his enternaining magic. Like you said, what a great pleasure.
I grew up watching him on Spanish TV (this is actually the first I see him performing in basic English) and every time, including now, he cracks me into laughter. He is such a character, loved by so many, taught so many others. For me, he was pure golden comedy.
I'm from Spain and this man is a LEGEND. He not only is the best regarding card tricks, but his sense of humor is on par with them. You should watch him in Spanish if you understand the language.
You can absolutely do more of these please! He is absolutely amazing. It's like he's transcended being a magician in some way. That last trick just blew my tiny little mind 🤯
When I was very young, Tamariz prepared one of those weekly fascicles courses. I religiously went to the kiosk for more than 2 years so I could complete it fully. In it he taught the very principles of "magic", but also magic history, juggling, papyrus, magic psicology, misdirection... etc. I still have it downstairs. This was before the internet, and it was very detailed for the time. Many many years later I had the privilege of watching him perform live in a 90 minute close up routine, along with some othe magic that was not his forte but still performed convincingly. It was amazing. He is truly a living legend and her daughter is quite good as well. Jandro, who you might know for winning 4 times the Fool Us trophy from Penn & Teller, is probably the natural heir of his style. Good job as always, you brought good memories with this one :)
Thanks for this tribute to Juan Tamariz. He's quite old (80 Years) , but still active and still funny. I feel lucky to be Spanish, because I can understand him, and believe me, his speech is a continuous joke. In english is funny, but in spanish is incredible. When I was a child he was on tv almost every week, and I'm still impressed whenever I review any of his videos.
Juan Tamariz es el mejor mago que he visto en mi vida. Desde pequeña viendo sus espectáculos y eran una risa pero además eran increibles. Que genio de tio!!!
He is indeed a joy to watch. I've been lucky enough to be once one of the people next to him in a table doing his magic . His books are the best material for card magic.
Thanks for sharing and making this tribute to Juan Tamariz. He was my idol when I was a child. You have transported me to the 80s. For me, he is the best magician, not only for his tricks, but also for his humor.
The best and most impossible card magic I ever saw was when Juan Tamariz was surounded from magicians at a magicians conference and was improvising with all people around. Using their decks also... it was absolutly impossible what he did. Greatest cardmagician alive is a hardly to say. But probably yes.
Sorry no, there exists no video from it. I will ask if anyone knows if there exists another video that shows Juan improvising in a group of magicians. It was a youth congress in germany where Juan Tamariz was teaching young magicians like me in that time. Pit Hartling and Denis Behr were also there with me. That is about 25 years ago.
Dude, that 3 card routine is absolutely incredible, especially the last bit at the end. Just mind-blowing. Love your puzzle, magic, and gadget vids, man!
I have been a practitioner of Card Magic for just over 21 years. I'm 35 and have not learned anything new in a decade. Now I'm rediscovering my passion for learning new material, refining my skills and connecting with people and I only just started watching Chris Ramsey but I really appreciate the hard work and passion that comes through these videos! Before today I have never heard of this Spanish magician and after only the first 2 tricks in the video, it's clear to me I have a LOT to learn. One question I have been wrestling with recently since taking magic up again is about personas. It's clear that Juan has an excellent persona while he preforms! I read somewhere that all the best magicians have a persona but I'm unsure of how to approach finding mine as for the last 21 years, I have truly been myself while preforming. I wasn't trying to be something I'm not. I'm genuine, funny, quick witted and kind. I'm worried if I start trying to make a persona now, I might come across as fake or trying too hard. And people Will pick up on that. How should I approach this?
I am not a magician. But have been watching Tamariz for decades on TV. for many 80s and 90s kids here in Spain he was a hero we watched with family weekly. he has been interviewed about that same topic maybe that can be interested for you. Whatever you choose to be, I recommend. you be like tamari humble and gentle with kids and funny. I am sure you will find out. something. that resonates with you.
Juan es el puto amo! 😀 By the way Chris, i iimagine you looked for videos of Juan where he speaks in "engrish" so it is easier for the vast majority of the audience to get. When Juan does the trick without the language barrier the flow vastly improves. If you find other videos of him but they are in spanish only, let me know which ones are and i will gladly sub them in english for all the folks here to enjoy.
"When Juan does the trick without the language barrier the flow vastly improves." What are you talking about man, I had never heard Juan speaking in english, he is hilarious!
@@dfaultyeah He is hilarious but is true that is a barrier for his great comic side of the show, but at the same time his "poor" english may be found funny by itself. Either way he's great
So true, I can't think of anyone more respected and loved by the audience. I found him funny when I was 10 and I found him funny now 25 years later he is great.
As someone from Spain that I am, I can tell you that Tamariz has always been the greatest magician and also the nicest person you will ever meet and despite being very famous he is really kind.
I had chosen the king of hearts. Apart from that, Juan Tamariz is a legend in Spain and, at least in the magicians realm, al around the world. Feels so good to see his work recognised! Kudos to you for talking about him!
Juan Tamariz was probably the best known magician is Spain during the 80s and 90s. He appeared on TV very often and was well known for doing the fake violin thing. I even saw him once live in Madrid. Simply marvellous
Oh my goodness, I grew up watching Juan Tamariz. Moreover, I met him in the flesh nearly 40 years ago. Such good memories of him. Thank you for the video.
I'm glad you paid homage to the greatest of the card magicians, we were lucky of seeing on spanish TV in the 80s-90s as well as live in some events around Spain, you brought greatest memmories from my childhood, thanks you very much for this video.
OMG! TH-cam suggested me this video just a few minutes ago. What a great chilhood memories with magician Juan Tamariz! He was often invited to prime tv shows here in Chile in the 80s and 90s, so we know him very well. He's just wonderful, we love him
I've seen him twice in theatre, both helping him in stage, and the craziest thing I've seen is to guess a card THOUGHT by someone that was phoned by somebody from crowd. Amazing! I'm an amateur magician and I know how he does it, but it's still astonishing.
Man I love when you break things down and even when you leave some mystery regarding tricks and performances for us viewers who arent on the magical venture, when you do that its still cool cuz ur a real azz magician and are willing to not just break things down because you have the knowledge but also show us things some of us may have never seen or heard of before. So good job in general man, these videos are great and this is just a discussion
I grew up watching Juan Tamariz, at the end of the day I always liked it because he was always so nice. And he taught all of us how to play air-violin!
This content is amazing. I learn more from the commentary than from the trick. Juan really shows how magic is not just skill and practice, its also a funny show and that might be most important sometimes.
I have seen this man many times when child at TV in Spain. All he did was always impressive and incredibly comical. Never saw him in foreign countries and I didn't know he was regarded so high. It was a pleasure to watch this video and I hope to watch more about him. Thanks for this.
Soy español y nací en el 76, siempre te sacaba una sornrisa cuándo lo veías por TV, los niños en esa época pedíamos a los reyes magos el juego de magia borrás para ser cómo él.....grande Juan Tamariz 😍
Tamariz is a true #1. A national treasure, not just a magician but an entertainer and has a great/absurd sense of humor that always make him light the room where he walks in.
What you dont know, is that Juan Tamariz IS indeed a magician. Y makes people happy with is magic. I met him few times in Southern Spain (Cadiz) and is sooooo kind, so normal, and soooooo funny.
The amazing Juan Tamariz! I never enjoyed anyone's performance so much as I enjoyed Juan Tamariz. The best years of my life. I have really good memories back then in Spain, he takes me back in time playing that imaginary violin . Being always so humble, smiling all the time, extravagant looking, almost like a fool, but smart at the same time, and what's most important, amazing and making everybody have a real good time, either at home or right there. He really improved my life by making me happy!
That first trick the host did… I really thought I had him. I BELIEVED that i automatically chose the 4 because I didn’t even look at the others… I did say “I believed” 😂 Great stuff!
Thanks for an excellent look at a truly amazing magician. What I really enjoyed was your explanations on the thought processes and psychology of what Juan does. It's so easy to overlook just how much work goes into such a effortless looking performance. But it's true, the truly great ones make it look easy. 😏
He's so great, I always saw him while I was a child. And the way I remember him the most is as a comedian, a man who would always make you laugh, which may be even harder than magic, and on top of that a great magician. Great to watch him again after so long and knowing that his genius has inspired many magicians.
I remember Tamariz on my early years when i watched night tv shows with my family. He is hilarious and always surprised all the family.. I remember him on : Un, Dos,. Tres and many other shows. He is now 80 and i am so happy to see your video.
I remember watching him on TV when I was a child. When I grew up I saw him a couple of time live on a theater and he is amazing and what he does is unbelievable. Years later I saw on TV a documentary about magicians mentioning that he was an internationally renowned magician. Waiting for another one of Juan Tamariz!
Very good vid as always! Would love to have you chip in even more. I really like your input on everything and its always very entertaining to watch someone talk about a subject they are passionate about. Much love!
TH-cam randomly suggested this video... I have almost forgotten this guy... no, that would be impossible! but it's been a long time since I last saw him on TV. Oh man! He is 80 years old now, time flies! Tamariz is part of my childhood, thanks for bringing up so many memories. I don't know if he is sooooo good, but I'm sure he is one of the funniest magicians I have ever seen, for sure!
Not only he's a great magician he's also a brilliant comedian. We Spanish people from late 70's, 80's and 90's were lucky to see him many times on TV and theaters. Thanks for your video Chris.
I'll always remember when I was a kid on late 70's and earlier 80's how my sister and I were mesmerized and laughing out loud every time Juan was in the kids tv show. Genius.
I grew up watching him on tv (I'm Spanish) and I've seen him live in Barcelona. I always say that this guy, with a deck of cards, can surprise you in a way that no magician with assistants, lasers and fireworks can. He is truly amazing.
The irony… I picked the 7 of clubs, then noticed it was the only black card and thought, “that’s what you were trying to ‘push’” so I changed my choice to the 4 of hearts and was annoyed that I was wrong still and you got me! Lol 😂 (I’d not seen this video before, I usually watch the puzzle ones, and only recently heard of Juan)
This was great! I chose the 4 of hearts and then I asked my wife to watch it and she also chose the 4. I need to try that one! Great video Chris! Please keep'em coming!
@@sinfulbeliever7083 same. i dont think that was the point though. i think it was just an odds game so that 1/4 of people were fooled. i remember someone doing a trick where they would ask someone to handle and shuffle the deck and to pick a random card. then they would guess it; when it was wrong 51/52 times theyd play it off and say something like "well that would have been really cool if it'd worked, right? lol". but if they did get it(1/52 attempts on average) it would completely blow that person's mind.
Dude, I grew up watching Juan Tamnariz on Spanish TV and let me tell you, whenever he was on a show, most people tuned to see him. Charismatic, funny ands super talented guy.
I love this kind of video, to be honest you have one of the most relaxing channels to watch, just a pleasant way to pass 20/ 30 minutes learning new things.its great how so many people on youtube are willing like you to share their passions. I think the level is perfect for someone like me, I am no magician but have a basic understanding of magic, and your videos perfect explain how the many levels, the performance, the psychology, the mechanics of the trick come together to create the perfect performance.
I was going between the 7 and Ace. I didn't pick the 7 initially because I figured that was the attempted force cause it immediately drew the eye being the only black card so I picked the Ace. Truthfully I didn't even see the 4 lol. So it did not work on me, wonder how many it did work on though.
I love all your videos but these last ones are just incredible. I'm so lucky of being from Spain and my three favorite magicians are Juan, Dani Daortiz and Mario López and you just review their stuff in this month! I'm so happy these three crazy monsters of magic will reach a lot of people that may don't know them just thank to your videos, so thank you so much Chris, love all your work ❤
Indeed. I am from Spain and not even into magic except from enjoying as a spectator (and some sponges in my past..) and even if I am pretty sure that Tamariz and spanish magicians are well known among the magician comunity, it is nice to give them (finally) the credit they deserve in the "big screen" of youtube and stuff..
Ya voy teniendo cierta edad, y este es de mis personajes más queridos de la infancia. Me alegra que puedan apreciar su gracia y talento en otros países, al tiempo que me sorprende, siendo sincero.
No offence to other magicians or to the art in itself but, as a non aficionado, Juan Tamariz is the only magician I've ever stopped and watch when he's on somewhere, and I'm nearly 50 years old. I was born in Spain and grew up watching him on tv from the late 1970s onwards, as long as I can remember. To me he'll always be the most engaging and entertaining of them all.

Simplicity is the key to getting a absolute best reaction to magic well to me any way in my opinion lol

Perhaps Tamariz is not known by the public outside Spanish-speaking countries, but he is known among magicians all over the world, as if we were talking about Newton in Physics.
He was really prolific in 80s and 90s Spanish tv but he decided to let go of that for some reason. Always a great pleasure to see him, not only a maestro of cards but also an incredible entertainer.
"I believe in your magic." Actually made me emotional. What a great line. 1.) Because it's emotionally meaningful in itself, and 2.) There really does have to be a level of trust there, and he's acknowledging it- the brief connections made between magician and audiences are brief yes, but meaningful just the same.
Chris,, you are a treasure and exposing your younger followers (i'm newly 50 and still want to grow up to be Chris Ramsay) to legends like Juan Tamariz, Lennart Green, Tommy Wonder, Bill Malone, etc is in itself a masterclass in magic - plz know how appreciated you are in our community and keep being our best teacher - thx for everything
I've seen Juan a good amount of times, I try to go to his shows everytime he comes to Barcelona, last time, she picked me to get on the stage with him. Not for a card trick, it was more like a sketch but my inner child was so happy to be there with him.
Here in Spain he is very loved. Nicest person, funny and a great master of masters. Been watching him since I was around ten years old, now I'm 45. Never got tired of his enternaining magic. Like you said, what a great pleasure.
I grew up watching him on Spanish TV (this is actually the first I see him performing in basic English) and every time, including now, he cracks me into laughter. He is such a character, loved by so many, taught so many others. For me, he was pure golden comedy.
His celebrations, playing that air violin, are now part of our culture.
I'm from Spain and this man is a LEGEND. He not only is the best regarding card tricks, but his sense of humor is on par with them. You should watch him in Spanish if you understand the language.
True, but his basic knowledge of english is making the whole thing funnier somehow?, I don't know, he is charismatic by his own presence anyway.
You can absolutely do more of these please!
He is absolutely amazing. It's like he's transcended being a magician in some way. That last trick just blew my tiny little mind 🤯
His delivery is very funny, it is what has always set him apart
@@robertocaba5915 He sure is. He's an extremely talented magician with a killer act.
When I was very young, Tamariz prepared one of those weekly fascicles courses. I religiously went to the kiosk for more than 2 years so I could complete it fully. In it he taught the very principles of "magic", but also magic history, juggling, papyrus, magic psicology, misdirection... etc. I still have it downstairs. This was before the internet, and it was very detailed for the time. Many many years later I had the privilege of watching him perform live in a 90 minute close up routine, along with some othe magic that was not his forte but still performed convincingly. It was amazing. He is truly a living legend and her daughter is quite good as well. Jandro, who you might know for winning 4 times the Fool Us trophy from Penn & Teller, is probably the natural heir of his style. Good job as always, you brought good memories with this one :)
Thanks for this tribute to Juan Tamariz. He's quite old (80 Years) , but still active and still funny. I feel lucky to be Spanish, because I can understand him, and believe me, his speech is a continuous joke. In english is funny, but in spanish is incredible. When I was a child he was on tv almost every week, and I'm still impressed whenever I review any of his videos.
All of us children who grew up in the 80s saw Juan Tamariz and we remember him for his incredible card tricks and humor
Juan Tamariz es el mejor mago que he visto en mi vida. Desde pequeña viendo sus espectáculos y eran una risa pero además eran increibles. Que genio de tio!!!
He is indeed a joy to watch. I've been lucky enough to be once one of the people next to him in a table doing his magic .
His books are the best material for card magic.
Thanks for sharing and making this tribute to Juan Tamariz. He was my idol when I was a child. You have transported me to the 80s. For me, he is the best magician, not only for his tricks, but also for his humor.
Tamariz wasnt just a magician, he was both a magician and a comic, and he was absolutely brilliant at both. As a kid I totally adored him!

The best and most impossible card magic I ever saw was when Juan Tamariz was surounded from magicians at a magicians conference and was improvising with all people around. Using their decks also... it was absolutly impossible what he did. Greatest cardmagician alive is a hardly to say. But probably yes.
That sounds amazing, is there a video of that somewhere?!
@@joe.5103 I want that video too if it exists
Please video
Sorry no, there exists no video from it. I will ask if anyone knows if there exists another video that shows Juan improvising in a group of magicians. It was a youth congress in germany where Juan Tamariz was teaching young magicians like me in that time. Pit Hartling and Denis Behr were also there with me. That is about 25 years ago.
Dani da ortiz is said to definitely be better
Dude, that 3 card routine is absolutely incredible, especially the last bit at the end. Just mind-blowing. Love your puzzle, magic, and gadget vids, man!
love these videos. Tamariz is amazing. Beyond the card work the energy and presences he brings his art is mind blowing.
I have been a practitioner of Card Magic for just over 21 years. I'm 35 and have not learned anything new in a decade. Now I'm rediscovering my passion for learning new material, refining my skills and connecting with people and I only just started watching Chris Ramsey but I really appreciate the hard work and passion that comes through these videos!
Before today I have never heard of this Spanish magician and after only the first 2 tricks in the video, it's clear to me I have a LOT to learn.
One question I have been wrestling with recently since taking magic up again is about personas.
It's clear that Juan has an excellent persona while he preforms!
I read somewhere that all the best magicians have a persona but I'm unsure of how to approach finding mine as for the last 21 years, I have truly been myself while preforming. I wasn't trying to be something I'm not. I'm genuine, funny, quick witted and kind.
I'm worried if I start trying to make a persona now, I might come across as fake or trying too hard.
And people Will pick up on that.
How should I approach this?
I am not a magician. But have been watching Tamariz for decades on TV. for many 80s and 90s kids here in Spain he was a hero we watched with family weekly.
he has been interviewed about that same topic maybe that can be interested for you.
Whatever you choose to be, I recommend. you be like tamari humble and gentle with kids and funny. I am sure you will find out. something. that resonates with you.
Just be yourself. If it doesn’t feel natural, it won’t LOOK natural!
Very nice explanation at the beggining about the contrast and the rabbit hole. Tamariz is a master of that.
I had the privilege of seeing him live years ago. It was hilarious and incredible. GOAT. One of the best spectacles I have ever seen.
Juan es el puto amo! 😀
By the way Chris, i iimagine you looked for videos of Juan where he speaks in "engrish" so it is easier for the vast majority of the audience to get.
When Juan does the trick without the language barrier the flow vastly improves.
If you find other videos of him but they are in spanish only, let me know which ones are and i will gladly sub them in english for all the folks here to enjoy.
Justo esto estaba pensando, Juan en español es incomparable, el ritmo, las bromas. Una maravilla!
"When Juan does the trick without the language barrier the flow vastly improves."
What are you talking about man, I had never heard Juan speaking in english, he is hilarious!
@@dfaultyeah He is hilarious but is true that is a barrier for his great comic side of the show, but at the same time his "poor" english may be found funny by itself. Either way he's great
Tamariz is like family here in Spain. He's not only the greatest card magician of all time, he's also the funniest and most lovable one
So true, I can't think of anyone more respected and loved by the audience. I found him funny when I was 10 and I found him funny now 25 years later he is great.
Great homage to a magnificent Spanish magician. He is 80 years old now. He still performs and has a school for magicians.
As someone from Spain that I am, I can tell you that Tamariz has always been the greatest magician and also the nicest person you will ever meet and despite being very famous he is really kind.
I had chosen the king of hearts. Apart from that, Juan Tamariz is a legend in Spain and, at least in the magicians realm, al around the world.
Feels so good to see his work recognised!
Kudos to you for talking about him!
Juan Tamariz was probably the best known magician is Spain during the 80s and 90s. He appeared on TV very often and was well known for doing the fake violin thing. I even saw him once live in Madrid. Simply marvellous
I saw him many times on tv when I was a child. Loved him 🥰.. Such a nice surprise to see him here..🤯 Thanks a lot and greetings from Colombia.
Oh my goodness, I grew up watching Juan Tamariz. Moreover, I met him in the flesh nearly 40 years ago. Such good memories of him. Thank you for the video.
I'm glad you paid homage to the greatest of the card magicians, we were lucky of seeing on spanish TV in the 80s-90s as well as live in some events around Spain, you brought greatest memmories from my childhood, thanks you very much for this video.
OMG! TH-cam suggested me this video just a few minutes ago. What a great chilhood memories with magician Juan Tamariz! He was often invited to prime tv shows here in Chile in the 80s and 90s, so we know him very well. He's just wonderful, we love him
So proud of being part of the generation that grew up with him on TV and proud of being a person that has seen him live a few times! Te queremos Juan
¡¡¡Yo también!!!
I have gone DEEP into the rabbit hole with Juan Tamariz videos. Can watch for hours. The man is a genius. Him and Richard Turner are my favorites.
All spanish people loves Juan Tamariz.
Many generations remember his shows in TVE1, in the 80s. The Magitian and showman.
He created a special Style.
I've seen him twice in theatre, both helping him in stage, and the craziest thing I've seen is to guess a card THOUGHT by someone that was phoned by somebody from crowd. Amazing! I'm an amateur magician and I know how he does it, but it's still astonishing.
Man I love when you break things down and even when you leave some mystery regarding tricks and performances for us viewers who arent on the magical venture, when you do that its still cool cuz ur a real azz magician and are willing to not just break things down because you have the knowledge but also show us things some of us may have never seen or heard of before. So good job in general man, these videos are great and this is just a discussion
I grew up watching Juan Tamariz, at the end of the day I always liked it because he was always so nice. And he taught all of us how to play air-violin!
This content is amazing. I learn more from the commentary than from the trick. Juan really shows how magic is not just skill and practice, its also a funny show and that might be most important sometimes.
I have seen this man many times when child at TV in Spain. All he did was always impressive and incredibly comical. Never saw him in foreign countries and I didn't know he was regarded so high. It was a pleasure to watch this video and I hope to watch more about him. Thanks for this.
Soy español y nací en el 76, siempre te sacaba una sornrisa cuándo lo veías por TV, los niños en esa época pedíamos a los reyes magos el juego de magia borrás para ser cómo él.....grande Juan Tamariz 😍
jajaja yo me lo pedi el magia borras por Juan Tamariz jajajaja
también del 76
Great video. For us spaniards Juan Tamariz is a national treasure and one of our most beloved personalities.
Another wonderful legend. Thanks for the introduction, Chris. I will definitely look for more of his work.
Tamariz is a true #1. A national treasure, not just a magician but an entertainer and has a great/absurd sense of humor that always make him light the room where he walks in.
What you dont know, is that Juan Tamariz IS indeed a magician. Y makes people happy with is magic. I met him few times in Southern Spain (Cadiz) and is sooooo kind, so normal, and soooooo funny.
The amazing Juan Tamariz! I never enjoyed anyone's performance so much as I enjoyed Juan Tamariz. The best years of my life. I have really good memories back then in Spain, he takes me back in time playing that imaginary violin . Being always so humble, smiling all the time, extravagant looking, almost like a fool, but smart at the same time, and what's most important, amazing and making everybody have a real good time, either at home or right there. He really improved my life by making me happy!
That first trick the host did… I really thought I had him. I BELIEVED that i automatically chose the 4 because I didn’t even look at the others…
I did say “I believed” 😂
Great stuff!
Thanks for an excellent look at a truly amazing magician. What I really enjoyed was your explanations on the thought processes and psychology of what Juan does. It's so easy to overlook just how much work goes into such a effortless looking performance. But it's true, the truly great ones make it look easy. 😏
He is a genius and really fun to watch. An absolute showman. His magic skills are unbeliavable
He's so great, I always saw him while I was a child. And the way I remember him the most is as a comedian, a man who would always make you laugh, which may be even harder than magic, and on top of that a great magician. Great to watch him again after so long and knowing that his genius has inspired many magicians.
I remember Tamariz on my early years when i watched night tv shows with my family. He is hilarious and always surprised all the family.. I remember him on : Un, Dos,. Tres and many other shows. He is now 80 and i am so happy to see your video.
I watched Juan in my childhood and I thought he was the standard. Now I realize how great is he.
Thank you for the video.
He's amaaaaazing!!!!
I'm Spanish, and I've seen him perform live many times. He's so fun, and as lovely in person as you can imagine!
I remember watching him on TV when I was a child. When I grew up I saw him a couple of time live on a theater and he is amazing and what he does is unbelievable. Years later I saw on TV a documentary about magicians mentioning that he was an internationally renowned magician. Waiting for another one of Juan Tamariz!
Thanks for introducing me to Juan Tamara!
I saw him once when I was a younger and i was blown away, he nailed every little detail of the show. Definitely he got me into magic
As a kid I loved seeing Juan Tamariz appearances on TV, he was absolutely hilarious, like 50% clown, 50% magician and another 50% pure chaos
The energy from this dude is insane.
Very good vid as always! Would love to have you chip in even more. I really like your input on everything and its always very entertaining to watch someone talk about a subject they are passionate about. Much love!
TH-cam randomly suggested this video... I have almost forgotten this guy... no, that would be impossible! but it's been a long time since I last saw him on TV. Oh man! He is 80 years old now, time flies! Tamariz is part of my childhood, thanks for bringing up so many memories. I don't know if he is sooooo good, but I'm sure he is one of the funniest magicians I have ever seen, for sure!
Not only he's a great magician he's also a brilliant comedian. We Spanish people from late 70's, 80's and 90's were lucky to see him many times on TV and theaters. Thanks for your video Chris.
I recommend another great magician from the old school, Arturo de Ascanio, if you don't know him take a look, you'll love it.
René Lavand called him the master of card magicians!
I picked 7 of clubs, but I get the psychology and love it. Will try it.
what a legend. Mr. Juan Tamariz. All 80s and 90s kids from Spain were in constant "WOOOOAAAH! :O"
I'll always remember when I was a kid on late 70's and earlier 80's how my sister and I were mesmerized and laughing out loud every time Juan was in the kids tv show. Genius.
I grew up watching him on tv (I'm Spanish) and I've seen him live in Barcelona. I always say that this guy, with a deck of cards, can surprise you in a way that no magician with assistants, lasers and fireworks can. He is truly amazing.
The irony… I picked the 7 of clubs, then noticed it was the only black card and thought, “that’s what you were trying to ‘push’” so I changed my choice to the 4 of hearts and was annoyed that I was wrong still and you got me! Lol 😂 (I’d not seen this video before, I usually watch the puzzle ones, and only recently heard of Juan)
really deep and entertaining, its really cool to see you still keep doing quality content after all these years in youtube
This was great! I chose the 4 of hearts and then I asked my wife to watch it and she also chose the 4. I need to try that one! Great video Chris! Please keep'em coming!
Didnt work for me. I chose the King of hearts
@@sinfulbeliever7083 same, we must be broken lol
@@And_Rec We are the oddballs who choose the only face card yes :D
I chose the Ace
@@sinfulbeliever7083 same. i dont think that was the point though. i think it was just an odds game so that 1/4 of people were fooled. i remember someone doing a trick where they would ask someone to handle and shuffle the deck and to pick a random card. then they would guess it; when it was wrong 51/52 times theyd play it off and say something like "well that would have been really cool if it'd worked, right? lol". but if they did get it(1/52 attempts on average) it would completely blow that person's mind.
I grew up watching him on the telly and I'm so happy he is recognized as the genius he was. Thank you Chris, you brought me great memories here!
Dude, I grew up watching Juan Tamnariz on Spanish TV and let me tell you, whenever he was on a show, most people tuned to see him. Charismatic, funny ands super talented guy.
I love this kind of video, to be honest you have one of the most relaxing channels to watch, just a pleasant way to pass 20/ 30 minutes learning new things.its great how so many people on youtube are willing like you to share their passions. I think the level is perfect for someone like me, I am no magician but have a basic understanding of magic, and your videos perfect explain how the many levels, the performance, the psychology, the mechanics of the trick come together to create the perfect performance.
Juan Tamariz was a huge part of my childhood! I saw him on TV so often!
I was going between the 7 and Ace. I didn't pick the 7 initially because I figured that was the attempted force cause it immediately drew the eye being the only black card so I picked the Ace. Truthfully I didn't even see the 4 lol. So it did not work on me, wonder how many it did work on though.
I chose the most obvious one which one the 9 of diamonds, thats how you fool the magician by playing dumb lol
Me and you had the same thought. I picked the Ace as well. Didnt even see the 4.
Heh… I went for the 7 of Clubs. I just liked it best. Maybe because 7 is lucky and I like black better than red.
Also picked Ace, thought Jack initially then Ace. Also didn’t see or remember the 4.
Juan Tamariz is an absolute legend. He's so entertaining and good at his tricks, I could watch him all day too.
I love how you hint some things and how you analize others thoroughly but you do both without spoiling the trick.
I love all your videos but these last ones are just incredible. I'm so lucky of being from Spain and my three favorite magicians are Juan, Dani Daortiz and Mario López and you just review their stuff in this month! I'm so happy these three crazy monsters of magic will reach a lot of people that may don't know them just thank to your videos, so thank you so much Chris, love all your work ❤
I was raised watching this guy on TV. I'm glad he's being recognized so much later, so far away.
Indeed. I am from Spain and not even into magic except from enjoying as a spectator (and some sponges in my past..) and even if I am pretty sure that Tamariz and spanish magicians are well known among the magician comunity, it is nice to give them (finally) the credit they deserve in the "big screen" of youtube and stuff..
This is a great video! Chris we need more like this
Ya voy teniendo cierta edad, y este es de mis personajes más queridos de la infancia. Me alegra que puedan apreciar su gracia y talento en otros países, al tiempo que me sorprende, siendo sincero.
No offence to other magicians or to the art in itself but, as a non aficionado, Juan Tamariz is the only magician I've ever stopped and watch when he's on somewhere, and I'm nearly 50 years old.
I was born in Spain and grew up watching him on tv from the late 1970s onwards, as long as I can remember. To me he'll always be the most engaging and entertaining of them all.
¡¡¡El más grande de los espectaculares!!!
