Sometimes I do content JUST for me. This is one of those times.
Even though it’s ‘just for you’ I think everyone will enjoy it
Some of your best work. Keep on doing it for you. I think we all benefited. 😎👍
Hi Chris
This is just another superb video! I really like the way how you're performing, it's very professional!
I have a question, in your "perpetual motion" video you showed these spirals in glasses. I can't find them to buy. Could you please tell me how i can get one of these? Thank you :)
Hi , to be honnest you may have did it for yourself but it's one of your better vid , for me at least . Peace from France ; )
Nothing wrong in treating yourself. 😌
*This should have been an hour long feature documentary.*
@chrisramsay this would be an awesome Netflix series
Agreed!!
Agreed
Couldn't agree more. There needs to be a proper documentary/movie 🍿
Chris really could do a documentary on magic, past and present and I would eat that up along with many other ❤❤❤
Easily one of my favorite videos on TH-cam this year. A beautiful, artistic presentation of classic magic with Chris Ramsay? Yes please.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@ChrisRamsay52 Dear Mr Ramsay. Please give me a chance and let me work for you.
I was dying to see this one. Amazing!
Please tell me you are alright now Wes 😮
Me too, it was awesome.
I've seen lots of CR,s vids . This was my favorite so far..
Wes , your vids are awesome,
FINALLY a CR video I watched beginning to end, glued to my laptop. Great job baby.... xo
Lots of magicians are natural born story tellers. Chris has a unique presentation style when he's in this sort of "essay" mode that feels very infotainmently modern.
Love this. This was art with a history lesson.
Man MUSIC bg?
LOVED this
Your voice is amazing, your performance is fantastic, you are so thoughtful in execution and delivery. Such an amazing performer and creator! Please keep up the work, I seeing whatever you come up with next!
Beautiful video. A true love letter for the art of magic and the bygone years. Your voice clearly states your respect and honor for those magicians who came before you and inspired you. Thank you Chris.
The most magic part (to me) is how you can force a card in a deck, held by a spectator and shuffled by them. Blows my mind every time
This is honestly unexpectedly beautiful. I'd love to see a series of videos like a "History of Magic" in a similar kind of style. Discussing some of the classics and some of the tricks that have fallen out of vogue.
Aaaaand……this is why I love your content! I absolutely love seeing the old props and tricks!! 💗💗💗💗
One of the most interesting and historical demonstrations of the classics. You and Antoine are a great team. Very cinematic editing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I was fully engrossed in this video. So very well done!!
Nicely done. One of the best TH-cam videos so far this year period. Really appreciate how deep you went with it. Thank you sir!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love seeing the illusion. I love working out how it's done, if I can. TH-cam has been really neat in that respect. But what brings the reverence and a tear to my eye is watching the polish and perfection the illusionist brings and imaging how many hours of practice and frustration went into the execution. Major respect for what must be more than just the 10,000 hours. I love the Show; I hope it continues.
One of the best produced and well edited video I've seen recently. Amazing storyline and information. I was hooked on to the video from the start to finish. This was awesome!!!
I had a kid magic show kits when i was younger and many trick decks. I knew it was some trickery from back then and did some courtyard show myself for my primary school friends. I still love seeing a magic show. I may know it an illusion but i enjoy the acting and skills of the performer even more knowing the basic of these of magic tricks.
I love seeing the history physical; it is difficult to get to see these props in person and seeing them on here is wonderful. Magic is very much about the art and presentation of your art. Thank you for making this.
I love how most of the video felt like a silent movie. Very classy; very well done.
I kinda miss the old tutorials, however the new videos are so much higher quality! I'm torn..... you should have a favorite tricks episode of BOB
Wow I loved this! The visuals and soundtrack were top notch. I'd definitely be interested in seeing more videos like this.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL video! I love the style and this content is so interesting to me. I’d love to see more videos that explore older traditions and shows. I’ve sometimes fantasized about what magic was like before. Somehow you captured that fantastic feeling in such a short video. Amazing.
Hi Chris, you may have saved my life! I was all but a drink away from ending it by overdose, then only by chance as i was looking at my phone i seen your video and it screamed at me to watch it and I'm so glad i did!!! I've been suffering from depression for couple years now due to drugs and lifes harsh way of making things just seem worse than they really are!. I related this video to my life and journey, so to explain i mean I started watching your channel because of magic, but like you have said yourself, it's changed to another content as to say, so I just finished watching your convention video and "wow" how awesome your love of magic has been rekindled and so was my passion for living again, I felt the same with my life how you felt with magic, after understanding things, like you with magic, they tent to become mundane and slowly becomes less of a love and more of a job!, I felt this about my life and I had all but given up on it... magic is real I have always felt this, I also felt thats why you had this love of puzzles because even though we understand them and can solve them there is still a level to them that will always remain magical from the idea to the creation and skill of making them even after we have the solution, I may be losing track of what I'm saying but to make it simple I mean watching this video after the convention one I realized that the universe had answered you! I hope you know what I'm saying by this, Thats what I observed from watching this anyway, so I realized in that moment that I do love life I really do, more so now than ever because I understand it better and what I don't understand will will only make me strive to understand and love it more, this is what magic means to me, its a blessing to have come across this at such a dark time in my life and I knew some strange energy brought this to me as I needed it and it had everything to relate in subtle ways too, thats so magical and it's inspired me to carry on my journey, THANK YOU SO MUCH! Love you all.
so glad theres been more magic on here lately, this is the content I perosnally enjoy more
I never comment on videos…never. This one was too good to pass up. Love the old school stuff. Even more, love the idea of using them as a springboard into what magic can/should be moving forward. Great work Chris and Co.!
This is both a fascinating piece of magic history, and a look at just how far we've come in the field. Well done!
I’m always in awe of the way you craft a story that touches both visual and auditory senses in such a perfect way. 😍 These videos must take ages to create.
This is awesome! I like what you’ve done differently here. I normally just watch your puzzle videos but this had me gripped into magic. I also appreciate how you show how the tricks are done. Great video
I love old school magic! Great vid! Keep them coming!
this was a great video, informative and entertaining. I like your reflecting on the older styles of magic and of course, the whole atmosphere you bring to your videos, it is a work of art in itself. Thanks for sharing from your collection!
Such a great video. Love all of the recent magic revival videos with you showing tricks and doing magic again! Some great tricks too!
LOVED this video chris! i've been watching you for years and i kind of dropped off recently, i think it's related to your feeling uninspired about magic but that last FISM video and your speech in it were incredible. I feel your love for magic and performance and the ART of magic come through so strongly in this video. maybe because the old tricks are themselves inspiring. but so is your performance here! i love you chris, keep doing amazing work!1
Epic video as always Chris! Great to see older tricks, and even better to see that you carry them off with sufficient class. You sir are truly talented performer! Keep up the great videos, always makes for a better day seeing them!
I really enjoy these videos. I'd love to see you do a similar series showcasing different illusionists and magicians along with their most notable tricks and their legacy to the magic/entertainment world.
Bravo! This was wonderful to watch a stage performance with a history lesson and those items were ingenious to the year they were made and used. Would love to see more of these with you on stage, regardless if you have shown us the secrets of your magic tricks it would still be wonderful to watch you perform.
one of your best videos chris! i love looking at old magic props!
great video chris! you are literally the person who made me get interested in magic a few years ago. refreshing to see you perform and teach again
Stellar video. It was a gracious dance, melding the old with the new. Absolutely loved learning about these old props and the ingenious mechanisms they engineered. Thank you so much for making this.
I like the last sentiment. Some magicians seem to believe that magic has one purpose only: to fool the spectator. Many magicians forget that the spectators usually love magic as much as the performer. They have seen many of the tricks before, and they know how some parts of some of them are made, they may even have attempted some on their own. That is not the point - not the only point. One can be amazed by performance, delivery, charisma and stage presence even if the trick is 100 years old and not very fooling. One can be utterly bored even if you are fooled.
I think it was due to the lineage of which Magic traces itself to: conmen and tricksters swindling people of their money. Many of the techniques used in Magic originally started out as techniques used by conmen like for example Prestidigitation or Sleight of Hand; you can use that to make things appear or disappear from and into places you least expect it OR use it to trick bettors in a cup and ball game...
This is so very true. A bad trick isn't a trick that I can't figure out. A bad trick and, more accurately, a bad _performance_ is one where I don't care to bother trying. Whereas, I can watch my favorite performances time and again and love them just as much.
So nice to see these old mechanical magic tricks demonstrated. Thank you for sharing with us.
Oh man, i loved this video so much! Please do more of those! 😍 I like your puzzle solution video's as well! Been a fan of this channel for awhile now! 😎
Love everything about this video Chris!!! Easily one of your top videos yet. Hope this is the start of a series!!!
This was amazing to watch! I could watch you do a whole series on the history of magic!
I got goosebumps! Well done!
I totally agree with what you said, I know how card magic works, but I still get a rush when I see someone do a color change or vanish well!
Thank you, Mr. Ramsay, for this beautiful video stage presentation to share your treasures with us. Magic for me as a spectator is not so much the props used to fool us but the art of presentation. Like when you said " a copy of the force card goes here...." and you show the random selection of a card that you "forced". This to me is the amazing part of magic i never tire of. Whether i think i know how a trick is done. The Magician can even explain it to me. But then in the end do it differently unexpected . We can laugh about the corney to the bizarre but in the end it takes balls to get on stage or do the close up magic. It is art and much dedication to make it look good. Thank you for the lighthearted bit at the end. That was fun.
I haven't watched any of your videos in awhile, but this was really excellent. I liked the voice over and historical details. Great music accompaniment and the camerawork all really kicked this video up a few notches. Great work!
Awesome video. I have been looking to acquire an old magic trick for my office bookshelf. They have all,become super expensive! Glad to see someone like you helping preserve the history! If you acquire any more please do another video!
I love your intros, their always so theatrical and we'll filmed. Looking forward to this video
Thank you! That was the age of the great stage shows. Parlor magic was in it's heyday too. So wonderful to see these entertainments again.
Do more of this. Really enjoyed the history, the performance and the video. Incredible.
Been bingeing your videos for days now.. Please don't ever stop making them! I love everything about them. I love the music, the beautiful sets, backgrounds, colors, your voice is very soothing to listen to. I am blown away by how amazing your content is. Hoping the comment helps the algorithm!
Just love the production value and information about those classic tricks
this was highly enjoyable as always Chris. Loved learning about the history of magic n were it came from in this video. hope to see more episodes. :D
One of your best. Beautifully presented and executed. More please.
This was beautiful. I loved this video and hope to see more like it. I love learning about the history and seeing the actual props of the time.
Love this presentation of content. As so many others said, would definitely watch more documentary type content like this!
Also, as a wood working is one of my hobbies along with magic, I'm definitely going to have a go at making that rising card box!
Thank you for this. Very interesting and your love for magic really shows!
Excellent video. The art of Illusion is so changed. I can remember hearing a parent explain away illusions in a haunted attraction just so their child wouldn't be scared. Don't go if you don't wish to enjoy the illusion. The illusion of magic is so glorious. Some folks just feel they need to "know" rather than just let the glory and wonder wash over them. Well done. Well spoken, oh handsome magician.
Glad these magic artifacts are in good hands and shared with a large audience. Thank you CR!
I love this! Hoping that you do more! Thanks man!!!!
I enjoy your puzzle videos, but I came to this channel years ago and stayed for the magic. You’re not doing these videos only for you, trust me ! Love it !
The production quality of your videos is outstanding. The props are amazing as always, but the whole set-up, editing and atmosphere is always on spot. There’s so much effort put in this, I really hope most people appreciate that. Thanks for the great content! (And nice to see that Wish table being sneaked in with all these vintage tricks 😄)
I'm enjoying these types of videos more than I expected. Especially the outtakes at the end. Great touch 👌
The elegance that you brought to this performance makes it so special! Thanks for sharing the history of each prop.
Love this. Well put together and interesting. Keep doing what you love.
I always love the attention and detail you put into your videos! I always knew Magic wasn't real in this sense but it still blows my mind the skills you need to pull these things off. I love it!
Awesome video! Was half expecting just old tricks, but this was like a mini documentary with the informative narration and camerawork, I would watch if you made a fuller one called The Art of Medieval Magic or something like that, haha!
Thanks for this beautiful theatrical demonstration!!! So creative and fun to watch :')
This was awesome. I'm late to the party but would love to see more of these. Maybe a series exploring historical magic and puzzles? Great stuff
Absolutely loved it Chris!! The aesthetics was on another lever as usual!
magic tricks will never get old and they still amuse us
This is more than content to me. The videos you've done fairly recently where there's more effort put into them are artistic and wonderful -- and I appreciate the time and effort put into something like this. (Because I know it would be easier to set up a camera, shoot some takes, and make more "content." ;)
This was lovely, and made my day!
Love this!! I'm literally married to a circus performer (aerialist) who works with magicians and jugglers, but it took finding your channel to actually make magic feel like something I could and should even just have fun with. Thanks!
Beautiful, I love how elevated these videos are. A true showmanship.
Beautifully made video. Very relaxing, yet entertaining to watch. This is art on so many different levels. Bravo!
Absolutely awesome, I would love to see more of this sort of thing!
Wow the quality of this video is awesome🔥 Anything about the performance, the history behind the trick, and the mechanism explanation is just perfect. I felt like watching a movie right now🔥
The music, stage, tone, took me back to when I would love to see magic done on an old stage. I love this video. It takes you to a time that I would long to live in.
Whats the music bro?
Over the years I have become more appreciative of magic and magicians. I find that in many cases, knowing how a trick is done gives me a better appreciation for the skill necessary to perform the trick. Even when a simple gimmick is performed well I still find enjoyment and appreciation in the presentation.
I also take great delight in figuring out how a trick is done for the same reasons.
Magic has always had a nerdy and lame stereotype with it... but it's a skill that people practice and get good at and perform and that is always, in itself, magical.
So true! Magic has changed in the experience at the audience. I totally agree. We must show our passion for the art. I do that when I perform. Often it's half 'n half; show and workshop.
Absolutely loved the video. I would love to see more content like this
Here's a magic man looking stunning both in a 1922 classic decor, and in a 2022 post-covid trash-tiktokesque dystopia. Nice gadgets here, that's a pretty cool video. And cheers for pointing out the Fool Us trick by Wes Barker, that's what first came to mind when I saw the sword.
Yes! We need more magic videos! Puzzle videos are great as well but magic videos are better in my opinion
You know, Chris....this was really beautiful. When Ricky Jay passed away, it really felt like the end of our connection to this kind of old vaudeville kind of magic. Everyone is more like Blaine or Angel these days. Know what I mean?
But Ricky Jay? His shows were almost word for word performances from classic and often forgotten conjuring books. This video felt like that. I really enjoyed this.
Dude.... Dude... This video is my new favorite video of yours. Everything about this video is perfect. But my favorite thing about is your gesturing during the performances ♥ ♥ ♥ brilliant. Please make more of this kind of videos
Love the way this video was shot! Great job Chris!
I love productions like this. Your crew is really great at them.
Such a great video with the magical history of...magic! LOVED watching this
This was such a brilliant video! Beautiful presentation, script and amazing magical history. Thank you so much for sharing this! 💜
Whats the bg bro?
Music
Absolutely beautiful done and said. Keep the art magical
Fantastic video Chris. This may be my favorite I’ve seen so far.
Great video... love the editing style, narration... the whole thing. Bravo!
This was beautiful Chris! Keep up the great content!! 😁
This stuff is always so amazing to watch. I really wish I could go to your Toronto showing but I’m busy around the time of the show.
Bloopers got me good! Love the enthusiasm from the audience member!
Love the puzzle videos, but getting some magic puts a massive smile on my face. Well done my friend
This was wonderfull. Soothing. Loved the style.
its good to see u still do magic
Great time piece! Love to see more from different time periods 🤍🤍🤍
