I wish that the magic olympics were televised like the summer and winter olympics are.
Same here!
I think they did that in 2015
Yeah! I would pay money to watch that, With Commentators and everything.
Put it on twitch, id watch that
i support the twitch idea! 😆
Meeting in person and chatting for hours about magic and the internet was a true pleasure. I discovered that pizza with honey is good and that some events are more fun with beer. A hug and see you soon, titan!
Which events are not better with beer?

I enjoy the diversity of your channel but truly love the magic videos. It's what brought me to your channel years ago. Killer video.
14:42 that hand movement WOW! that glass ball looks like its floating! AMAZING!
He was incredible!
I think their called "contact balls" more of a juggling type thing, someone showed be once, they can produce amazing visual illusions cause when they are spinning you really can't tell, they look the same as when they are motionless
Really great speech at the end. It takes unique perspectives to bring positive change to a community that can be so guarded. Well done!
Thank you for taking us along with you, thoroughly enjoyed!!
Hey, it was a real pleasure for me to meet you and be able to be in one of your videos. I hope we will see each other again in another competition and talk again a bit more.
Wow! This is awesome! If you work hard on good content, people will notice. The right people, apparently. You’re very inspirational, my man. Keep doing what you’re doing for the art.
"I won't touch the cards"... Proceeds to touch every single card.
I came here for the puzzles and then fell in love with magic ... Thanks Chris !
Glad you enjoyed it!
What could they improve? A discount price for the competitors, we register at the same price than the regular conventionners, but can't see 70% of the convention 🤯
But from what I saw in St Vincent, here are ideas:
-competitions shouldn't end too late, the last competitors performed on front of an almost empty room, that's very difficult to be judge at the same level than the others who had good reactions because... there was an audience 😅
- to keep: the themed nights and parties! Very VERY good ideas!! The way the award ceremony was done, with all the competitors of the same category on stage to get one final round of applause before the awards are announced is also an amazing thing!
- to create: maybe some live of stream events to share a little of what happens at fism on the Web, to make people want to come to the next one!!
These are the firsts things that pop in my head, but I'm sure there are many more things to say and to come up with, it's good that you'll help them! And it was great meeting you there!! 😉
Great suggestions! Thanks so much!
totally agree. competitors see almost nothing.
never been to one but that's INSANE that the competitors aren't allowed to see 70% of the convention (or rather, it's insane they don't get to see all of it). I've NEVER heard of an event where the performers/competitors/key people aren't allowed in the rest of the convention... that's so.. odd and doesn't make sense.. who the hell came up with that stoopid idea??
Competitors can access to all the events!
They have to do the rehearsal (10-15 minutes) and compete (10 minutes). They are free to enjoy the convention during the rest of the week.
There aren't restrictions!
I have met competitors at the dealer's hall, lectures, workshops, parties and gala shows.
I am sorry you had this feeling of missing out 😢❤
@@silviaagnello8677 of course competitors have access. But did you already compete at FISM? Do you have any idea of the stress generated and the focus needed? I did compete in 3 FISM until now, including this one of course. With all the focus I needed and the stress, I only had the time and opportunities to attend 2 lectures and one late party. And I'm 100% sure that if you ask any FISM competitor, they'll tell you exactly the same thing 😉
Making the competitors pay the same amount than the other conventioners while they are the main attraction and don't have the opportunity to attend to the majority of the events, I think magic competition is the only place where you see this. And fism should give the example, like for example having a 50% discount just for the competitors. That's just an improvement idea, as it was asked by Chris 😉
Love these Magic videos, Chris. Thank You!
This was amazing, ive grown to appreciate magic alot after finding your channel, but seeing stuff like this, the passion and love for the craft that they all have is just infectious! Really makes me want to seek this out more and see if there is a local scene in my area.
The Juggling part of the video made me smile :))) It was magical. Pun intended :D
So fun! Thanks for showing the joy of so many folks just proud of their niche.
I love these videos that show a side of the world you normally don't get to see.
Stream it and get penn and teller to commentate along with yourself, and maybe feature competitors in shorts leading up to the event to build some hype around people that otherwise are unknown. I think this would make it a truly epic event.
I love your videos, puzzle and magic. However, I love these videos the most. You have a great way to tell stories and present them in a way that makes me want to learn more.
Thanks for taking us around the world on your dime cris! I’m so happy I can see what others are doing with this art. Very fascinating. I was waiting for soenthing like this video. Much love bruva
Great video chris! so much eye candy and I love how you try out new things while editing!
Keep up the good word I don’t comment often but I’m a big fan! :D
I love this video! Thanks so much Chris for taking us along on your adventures. Italy is so beautiful! I’ve always wanted to go there myself. All of the magic you showed was amazing and it looked like great fun to be there in person. My most favorite was the floating orb though. That guys hands were so smooth with every movement. Beautiful to watch. 😊
DUDE SO HAPPY FOR YA!!!
Great content . Chris you’re the torch holder…I couldn’t even make toilet paper disappear when I flush it…but your art is something I’ve always admired and been in awe over… keep it going and lighting the flames of others who want to follow in your footsteps…. God bless
i have watched the guy with the glass orb @ 14:40 10 times in an hour lol.. amazing, look how happy he is doing what he does.. great background music to boot. true magic imo
💯🎯🤌🏽💋
Thanks for making this video Chris, I am always amazed to see so much creativity and magical performances.
what was that guy's website? I couldnt understand what he said...
Same, was hoping someone in the comments caught it!
The water to wine transfirmation is so dope, imagine doing that at a dinner table with your frinds!
I think the fact that you had a teenager in the competition who said he was, at least partly, inspired to pick up magic because of you and your sharing of magic through your videos is at least one data point in the empirical proof of your point.
Cool fantastic video. Beautiful scenery, beautiful video. Loved the magic with the jar where the cover is put on it and the 3rd coin enters through the bottom. Everyone was wonderful that you interacted with. Great job! Did any of the magicians you stayed on the island with previously attend? That was also a cool video.
Honestly, if they put this on twitch this would be amazing publicity.
This was awesome, Chris .. right down to the music choice and sound design 🤘... thank you for sharing 🙏
Magic allows me rekindle that sense of wonder that I had when I had was a small child 👏👏😀😀😀
Started watching you years ago for puzzles but love the magic aswell, anything to get the brain churning , loved your speech I agree your platform puts you in a very good spot to influence people into the world of magic and that’s a good thing for growth
14:42 was fireeee. the music, editing, a VIBE
I especially loved the editing! It turned a spontaneous moment into an event.
Thanks for sharing this awesome magic 😊👏💪👍🪄✨️✨️✨️
Boy, oh boy! Going to that showroom is like walking into a toy store. I want everything on the shelf! I loved it! Thanks for sharing!
I found you through puzzle videos when the pandemic hit, but I truly fell in love with your videos about magic, and you traveling to see other magicians from around the world made me fall in love with magic even more. I hope to see the magic community flourish and become bigger than it is. Thank you Chris for showing us this side of magic that doesn't get the spotlight it deserves!
Great video - felt I was there. Amazing magic. Many thanks.
The first comment about the criticism for teaching magic online is ridiculous, especially since I've watched a few of these videos and still I am amazed by the skill in these tricks and can't figure them out at all 😂 congrats on the invite to the committee! That's fricken huge! Next time it's near the PNW, I would love to see you and go to this event. I've never even heard of it until now.
I started watching you when you first started doing puzzle videos, and I'm always so excited to hear about your further rise and recognition.
Amazing video buddy! M'y fav was the GHB and the Britney Spears walk off music xoxox love you and miss you
ohhh that first trick with the phone. I remember my algorithimic class for computer science at ECU RObert showed us this. He said this is 1000000% why if you ever play poker they have to throw a card away. I remember him showing us how it's done but don't remember this day.
Wellcome to my country... You probably don't know but the guy with the fake pigeons Is a huge comedian in Italy, pretending to be also a magician. He's super famous for gags where he himitates a real super famous Italian magician of the 70s... Name of the real magician was Silvan... The name of the comedian Is Raul Cremona... 😊
You are an absolute legend Chris! Such an inspiration, not necessarily in magicianship, but in just being a real nice and good guy. The way you support others and your sincerity in life. Keep up your good style!
Where is your magic, Chris? I got so into magic in 2020 because of you. I miss those days. I absolutely love watching, listening and practicing with you!
I love how I see these comments when I post magic videos lol like ITS RIGHT HERE haha
@@ChrisRamsay52 😂 I've got a Playlist with tons of your vids saved. FOREVER! haha
"Unliftable deck" could be nicknamed Thor's deck or the Mjolnir deck challenge. 😉
Heck yeah!! Hope you had a good time even if you didn't qualify!
Wasn't competing but thanks!
as i'm watching this i'm like... i wish chris had someone to take to italy with him. this would be such a fun trip to share with someone special. i'm hoping he finds that special someone.
That speech at the end, great insight for everybody there. I would've dropped any sort of love I had for magic should it not have been for your channel. If people refuse to post magic online new eyes won't get to see that magic, people don't really go out of their way to see a magic show anymore unless it's something they already enjoy so I feel like it's very important for people like you to be doing these videos so you can bring new eyes on the art that is magic :) Have an awesome day Chris!
I love that magic juggling ball. So satisfying every time I see it
17:00 MARCO BERRY THE BOLD GUY! Italian tv personality, first as a reporter then as a magician with serious tv episode on mentalism and escapology... N some card trick
It was great meeting you in Italy, for me it was another check on my bucket list.
What makes a great convention, an awesome convention, to me it is besides the contests also the socializing part with friends and making new magic friends, so a bar that is open for longer hours is appreciated!
I would poop bricks to have a chance at going to something like this. Seriously, I would learn to crap a brick. Not sure if that would go well on a stage though.
What is the website address that the magician told in the 20th minute?
That was a great speech which I couldn't agree more with. I know some card tricks, half of them I might be able to perform correctly and convincingly enough to fool friends or family (maybe). So, by no means am I a magician, I just find magic so intriguing. From close up coin magic, to full stage Vegas performances, is all very fascinating to me. Regardless of whether I already know or figure out how a specific trick is done, there will always be the tricks that push boundaries. I really appreciate those who are skilled professionals at the craft, and the cleverly innovative concepts they use to create new tricks.
I love how "Italian disco" is just Boney M
I do hope that it was just a joke.
As always a great video. I can tell you left a lot of mind melting stuff on the cutting room floor. I have been a magician for many years, and while everyone seems to be happy to copy the most recent release, only a select few seem to be able to hold the audience without the help of the trick. I would love to see lessons on stagecraft and developing an act. I think those would be extraordinarly useful for anyone wanting to truly pursue magic as an art form.
My son and I just watched you… he follows you but you’ve gotten a new follower out of me! Prior to your speech at the end, we talked about magic not being taught. We wish that the performers would teach us.., and not for soooooo much money. Do you travel to different states and do workshops? Free? Because us poor people would love learn!!
Thank you for doing what you’re doing. Thank you for sharing your passion, knowledge and skills. I know I appreciate it. You have also just provided my son and I something else to learn and bond together with each other. He just turned 18 and doesn’t spend as much time with his mama these days… so I look and try my best to do as much with him as possible.. I’m most thankful to you for that reason alone. So thank you again!!! Good luck and please don’t stop teaching magic to others!!!
Amazing content as always !!! Thanks!!! 🎉 The guy at 19:54, what page did he say??? Very nice handled!
Not gonna lie, that first booth seemed kinda shady. I would not let some random magician download Who Knows What onto my phone for a one-off magic trick.
Thanks for a great video Chris.
I do think it's very good that magic is changing and growing with the newer generations. Sometimes I see somebody count an Elmsley or do a double and it looks so old-fashioned. They even use the same patter we've heard for 50 years! Then I see one of the younger magicians do something that I have never seen and it completely fools me.
Magic, like everything else, goes through phases but it will never disappear.
I do feel modern performance needs work though.
Sometime ago I witnessed somebody doing a bar trick (the one where cigarette ash penetrates from the top of the spectators hand to the palm) and everybody in the bar was completely astounded, not because of the trick but because of the performance AND the trick.
Magic is still very much alive, it just needs an update
.
Dude, I am from Turin. Legends say Turin is the only town where “black magic” and “white magic” meet each other. If you come here I would be really glad to show you the town. Just one more thing: the man with the two fake doves is Raul Cremona, he is a very famous Italian magician and comedian.
Thanks for this video Chris! I'm Italian, and I love magic, mostly because watching your videos, but also for the little kid that's inside me everytime I see a cool trick..
the guy with the crystal ball was amazing because there was no trick. Making it appear to float is like the rubbery pencil trick at an insane skill level. He's basically the opposite of a Robot dancer
Myself, along with many stellar magicians, were there at the street magic comp (came 4th) got to cathc up with Steve Faulkner, Pete Wardell, Pau, Amelie, and many others. Couldnt make it to Fism (even though we had a comp) Great to see it all from your perspective.Thanks and keep on keeping on JJ
As a “normal” guy who just have a passion for magic I would love to go to events like that.. I would use the Money.. But what holding me back is the lack of network and fear of being on my own all the time. How do I get invited out with all the others.. I has a vibe of… “we all know each other… and everything is for us…” if you want new people who’s is not a part of the “circle” you should kind of have a “body” system where you can be paired with a experienced participant who could take you places or give introductions to every thing. That would help for me personally to go.
Love that! And thank you for your feedback! Looking to make it inclusive for hobbyists is key!
Close up magic is amazing. This event is great. What a treat.
Thanks Chris !! Incredible video as always, the best promoter of magical culture on the web! 💪🏻✨Thank you for the AirBall clip! 🔮✨ you are the one!❤️
It needs to be on a major streaming service. They need to have an online masters class where all of the finalists teach a trick or something about magic. FISIM also needs an official store that's international friendly, and maybe even sell an official magic Olympics "kit."
Also getting people who aren't necessarily magicians but magic adjacent as recognizable faces to bring people in as relatable figures. Like Daniel Radcliffe or Alyson Hannigan.
Also, music goes a long way. Get some bands to preform and open up the ceremonies. All different types of music, metal, techno, hip-hop, Ska, whatever.
Just ideas off the top of my head.
Honestly I'm just blown away at the Magic subculture. Ever do magic with Magic the gathering cards? I think this video and more like these are exactly how you get more people involved. Thanks Chris.
Perfectly said. More magic is how it grows. As a fan and not a magician there isnt alot of it being promoted or shared for me to support it.
10:30 SILVANO IL MAGO DI MILANO - "Cosa sto facendo? Niente ma lo sto facendo bene"
Accessibility to those who are unable to attend. I would definitely pay to watch content online. Access to watching on demand and not just live streaming due to time zone differences
Hey man .. thanks to your videos..... I was lost and didn't know what to do.... The day I discovered you channel was back in 2021 July 20th..... Three days before my dad pass away.... After the funeral... I was home with my family and I was lost... And did not know what or how to cope with everything... My mum was sad... She's a single mother with six children who are only boys..... But the while we were together at home... I was alone and depressed and then I discovered your channel.. I watched it and the puzzle you solve in your video made it realise that I have alot to do in live.. and here I am... Got married in 2023 March... And now I'm with a little girl who is. 4 months old.... Thanks to you brother... I found closure with your videos... ❤
Thank you for posting this video - felt like I attended.
Your out there for all of us that can’t be. Well done sir!
Hotel looks out of a Wes Anderson movie!
hello Chris, I'm 14 years old, I'm from Italy and it's some years that I'm into doing magic. I'm saving up money, because I would love to go to the Tourin FISM, and I may go there and enjoy some great magic. It will be might be my first FISM since i don't have the possibility to fly around the world to see the other editions. The only thing I would change about FISM is that I would do them douring the summer time, in which most people are on vacation, meaning that more people can attend the event without having to worry about skipping school or not going to work. Loved the video, it made my day. Hope we can meet soon 😁
Getting people to come out for conferences/conventions can be tricky. You have to pay for the conference, air fare, hotel and food, so that alone can price some people out. Geting a group rate at hotels can help with this some. Having the conference/convention rotate locations can help because you'll get more people who are local, who can drive to it. Also some venues will attract people because they can make their trip a vacation as well. Time of year can also play a factor of when people can go, if it's a shoulder season, where you can get better rates, etc. Another thing for any conference/convention, people have to know it's happening well in advance so that they can make plans.
I'm a software engineer and I've seen a lot of conferences that have small communities dry up and I think a lot of the reason is the cost. The advantage of the industry I'm in is that sometimes you can get your company to pay for you to go to the conference. With magic you're not going to have that, so keeping costs as low as possible would probably be key. Another thing that would help attract people would be getting personalities such as yourself and other TH-camrs, because as TH-cam creators you do have a celebrity-like status, and people will come just to meet you, plug you have reach of your youtube viewers, to spread the word. I personally would love to go to a conference/convention related to magic, but it would come down to cost, timing and getting my wife sold on the idea of going.
Regarding one of your observations at the end of the video - it would be great to see more women in magic. Any chance of you showcasing some on your channel? Big fan of your work Chris - thanks so much for all the effort you put into both your magic and your videos!
That coin jar with the 3 coins was really cool. It definitely stood out to me
As a layperson and not a magician (but a magic lover), I'd love to be able to attend in person. I'm not even sure that is allowed. Maybe have a video series after the fact by practice to show the competition/reality series it? That would promote and show amazing practitioners and the current state of magic. Hold beginner workshops for the public at the next event?
What to add - Like a theater camp....add a basic magic class that people who attend could sign up for. Then at the end "the recital" where they get a chance to perform and tips given. Get the next generation excited.
People: “magic is a childish, lower art form”
Chris Ramsay: “hold my coffee”
Really love watching your magic stuff bud. So glad to see you promoting magic...keeping it alive.
What a fun trip. Thanks for sharing it. Hope the coffee was good. 😊
15:58 Dani DaOrtiz just casually in the background 😂
Conferences in general are typically designed for those already in the know. It is hard to break in and feel like you can learn or contribute without experience that can be matched by all others in attendance. To your point about getting people into magic and supporting the next generations, we need to welcome them in. Provide opportunities to participate and learn, even at conferences like this. Rather than this only being an experience for those already in the know, let the novice in! Of course there needs to be advanced opportunities that are only designed for those at particular skill levels, but imagine the impact on average people like most of us who may hear directly from and see those that are willing to be mentors in the art like yourself. As someone who works in higher education in the United States, this is my philosophy to learning - they need to be able to do it themselves and participate to grow!
Wow, that was super cool! Loved that ! Love magic and a lot of nice magicians there! That was nice! The edit was awesome! Really nice images! ✌️👍👊👌♥️🇨🇦
Amazing like always, I wish those magic Olympics were streamed!! Im from Perú, and i dont know if ever gonna be able to go to one of those, so watch it online would be nice!
I think what you are doing is nothing short of amazing. Keep pushing this art and keep growing this community. Semper Fi brother
They should add big shows like disappearing elphants, huge audio-video illusions, make it a spectacle everyone wants to see :)
That was an incredible video directed and edited by magical people .. there's a pun somewhere, jaggling man was a great interlude and love that you spoke your mind on stage good stuff man
The song your driver was playing in the car was “Daddy Cool” by Boney M. who are a German disco/R&B group!
Thanks for this video! So good! Real talk on that stage about magic and how it progresses and gets passed down and advances! 😁
The next Magic Convention needs a Ball Pit. I think that alone would bring in a lot of people.
The crystal ball dude wins for me that was mesmerising 🤯 14:55
10:30 Raul Cremona, very famous comedian/magician in Italy! Very strange to see him for only 7 seconds in a video ahah
Are you a baby bear? Do you like bread and honey? Honey-baked ham? Things like that there?
Nice review, thanks. Loved the speech at the end, when I was young it seemed there were more magicians on TV. Now it seems the main TV outlet is BGT/AGT, it was TH-cam that got me back watching magic. Lloyd Barnes was to blame initially and then Craig Petty. Also like watching your content both magic and puzzles. Although the bank account has taken a hit, I see a trick and just can’t resist 😖 even just as a hobbyist. Who new collecting cards would become a thing for me as well 🤪. Still need to get me some 1st decks.
i loved the crystal ball trick it looked really cool
Loving the classic vlog content! Takes me back to the beginning of the channel!!
