The Cups in Close Up

- My version of the cups performed in the Close-Up Gallery of the Magic Castle. The background noise comes from the people at the bar outside (busy night) and I deal with a heckler.

I think the real magic trick here is the crowd control and not being discouraged by people being disrespectful to the art.
2:15 that "shut up" without breaking the act of eating the ball is absolute class.
This man has to be the most loved uncle on family parties. I've seen so many videos of him doing this particular routine and i'm always amazed. I get so frustrated when people doesn't get his jokes, he's so good lol
My favorite part may have been STOP. lol. The disrespect of some for the work and talent that something like this takes will never cease to amaze me.
Hannibal: stop NOW!
Me: oh crap lady please stop
yes, great controlling of the room indeed!
All she did was make a silly comment....no reason to make her feel bad about it
@@esa1097 She was bothering the show with her silliness. The man is working.
@@claudiocecchetti3183 the man is trying to show people a good time. Instead he called her out for ONE lighthearted comment that wasnt really interfering at all. It was merely background noise, if anything at all. Instead, he made her feel bad and everyone she was with look at her bad too. You should never single people out like that and make them feel stupid just because they are having fun in a different manner than you intended
@@sysconic You’ve clearly never been to a live act. As others have pointed out, this is this man’s career. Magicians, like comics, practice a very synchronized, well thought out routine. They need to capture and maintain the audience’s attention on the words they’re saying, routine they’re performing, etc in order to execute their act effectively. Needlessly disrupting that routine can jeopardize the flow of the rest of the performance. That’s not to say the performer can’t work with the disruption or some amount of input from the crowd, I would encourage you to look up other performances by Hannibal because he does in fact work beautifully off stuff being said in the crowd and those he calls up to assist. The problem with this particular individual is that she’s clearly unaware of the respect she owes to the performer and therefore needlessly disrupts him. And, just a hunch, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she was the one on her phone later as well.
really good crowd control. you stopped it at the exact right moment.
I can endless watch the cups from you. Your delivery, your warmth with the audience, the timing of the humor
and, most of all: the specific character and elegance, when you put in the final load. I love that bit endlessly
Right? Every time I find myself laughing.
he is extremely entertaining but most of the one liners are exactly the same as Paul Daniels cups routine from many years before
@@paullastname474 - I just watched Paul Daniels on TH-cam and didn't hear a single one liner like this guy... 😏😂
@@carolg8535 Watch more then I've literally seen him put on almost the exact same performance on TH-cam
@@paullastname474 - Meh, I'm good. The videos of his that I did watch were not that funny or entertaining as Hannibal's are. I guess we just have different tastes. I don't mean to be argumentative or cantankerous, just disagree. Peace, friend... ❤✌
It will always amaze me that even with one of the most well known tricks, you can turn them into something so elegant and entertaining to watch. I hope you get better soon man
You can watch this a thousand times and it never gets old!
If you set playback speed to .25 you still can't see what he did......crazy good.
Such a beautiful and funny display of your talent. I really wish you recover fully as soon as possible
Thank you!
Such a shame when people don't give their full attention or a feel the need to be the star when they're not a part of your act. Shush. Let the man work. Youre here to see him.
Love this routine, keep up the good work Hannibal
Not everybody might be there to see him, since it might just be a small part of an evening out with friends. Of course you shouldn’t disrupt the show but I don’t get calling out people who are on their phones. Because that can make them go from disinterested to hostile.
@@notthere83 Sad, that you don't get it. She could've just moved on. This was clearly a seperated area for his show.
@@gerald8573 How sad! Are you a friend of this magicians that goes and replies to comments to make him not look so bad? Or are you the guy with a different name? Either way, this is sad that you go and do this. I had a weird feeling you were a fraud after your reply to a comment a few back.
Tell me one thing. How sad and alone is this magician? I feel really bad for him, and that is why I made my original comment. He shouldn't be mean to people. PERIOD
@ǝɹnʇnℲ 7\ mean to people? Stop being sensitive & blind.
@@sysconic how was he mean? he was asking for the dumb bitch prolly bonde to stfu and be polite. you got downs?
Oh and never worry about hecklers. I'm sure you don't but 99% of the people there are truly enjoying the act. Even the most famous performers have got heckled. Those types of people are truly boring, stubborn, people that I can't understand why people would ever want to associate with them.
The trick - or series of dozens of tricks - was beautifully done. But the way you handled that misbehaving spectator - "Stop. Now." - and then presumably the same person on their phone, probably texting their friend Karen, "Ermahgerd, Karen, this magician is like so rude and stuff" - that was as masterful as the presentation of the second oldest trick in the book. WELL DONE SIR.
You think so? I actually found it a little rude
Edit: rewatched it and changed my opinion. I didn't notice it was always the same person interrupting
I’m sure you may hear this a lot but. You truly are an inspiration. I gave up learning magic / sleight of hand years ago when I was a teen. I got discouraged. But something about watching your channel just...gave me that spark I had as a teenager trying to learn. I picked up and started learning things for the first time in 12 years. I thank you for that. Your passion inspires others.
Not to mention. You are incredibly talented. Also, props to you on how you handled that person talking and on their phone.
Follow your heart ... I'm glad you enjoy my work.
Literally one of my favorite acts from you and it’s still amazing a decade later. Recover man you got this.
The greatest trick: An attention span that lasts longer than 5 minutes before checking Tik Tok!
Why the greatest tricks take generations.
I never get tired of watching you do this! Whether it's with the audience's help or in spite of it, it's always a joy to watch.
man what a heckler!!!
Really, truly incredible how smooth and charismatic you are. Very sorry you had to deal with the rude audience member, but I suppose that practicing the art of dealing with a rude audience member is almost as important as practicing the routine itself. Always impressed by you, always inspired by you, and always grateful for your passion to the craft. Wonderfully done as always, Hannibal!
Props to the way you handled that loud month woman.
You can watch and rematch and watch in slo-mo. You can even get to understanding that "in other for X happening This and That had to happen before". Heck, you can even find the moment when, in your opinion, That happened and then come to realisation that This had to happen before That.
But still - no amount of understanding can trumph hard work and talent that you're witnessing by watching this tricks.
Hats off to mister Hannibal!
Literally never gets old, no matter how often i watch this.
2:55 is the only time i see something suspect. you're amazing.
'Are you a nurse?..' LOL!
I love your work
Hello, Hannibal. I picked up card magic a month ago and have been practicing every day. I really love watching “My Favorite Trick.” Everything about it, from the slight of hand to your chemistry with the audience, is simply masterful. You’ve shown me that though slight of hand is important in a performance, the ability to make the audience laugh and enjoy the magic beyond the magic is just as important, if not more. I want you to know that I’ll be picking up your book as soon as it releases. Thank you for being an inspiration.
Great twist (lemon pun...sorta) on an old trick. Masterful!
OOOH my gosh i just realised how the trick works up to the eating the ball, damn he is SMOOTH
How many times did you practice 'Cups & Balls' before you ever performed it for the first time? Just curious.
Also, get well soon.
About three years.
wonderful!
You’re amazing! and you handled the crowd well.
3:13 that one friend that's always trying to embarrass others .. in whatever ambiguous way 😒
My favourite magician to watch and dissect tricks
I don't know much about magic but this was amazing. You are one of the best magicians in the world. The whole act with the comedy and everything is just top notch stuff and u deserve worldwide fame and success
Every single time I see some video of a Cups & Balls trick online I think to myself "I really should rewatch Hannibal doing it". You are so awesome.
Such slight of hand skill is awesome to watch. Much respect.
these videos are so sick and the jokes are top. love your work man you know you are really good when the audience take time to understand how good your trick is
What an amazing entertainer. You really did light up my day with good humor and mystification!
LOVE all your performances Hannibal. Thank you for all you do
Whenever I see a magician perform I wanna know how the trick is performed. It's the trick not the magician. Whenever I see you I just wanna know you!
Great patience with the heckler too.
Flawless, as usual.
Yeah I love that trick!!!!
Love it man! Been watching you a long time. Such a class act!
Absolutely my favorite magician. GOD bless, and I wish you and yours the very best.
Brilliant show. You are special !
Incredible performance! Wishing you a swift recovery, mate.
that was so awesome
I love this act. Hannibal, how do you deal with difficult people like I believe it happened in this case. Somebody was being rude/interrupting your act, I suppose due to alcohol? Having never been to a magic show like this before, are there any rules/guidelines on what do to in such a case?
I give them a chance to be funny, to have the spotlight if they want it for a minute, but when it becomes annoying to the rest of the guests, I shut them down. Gently at first and then with increasing seriousness if they continue. Three strikes, then out.
Your a great artist and performer! I'm going to be ordering your book, and can't wait to see your new book come to life. Your shows give me great joy to watch online and I hope to see you perform in person someday soon.
What a brilliant routine. THE master at work. Wonderful. 👍
So good
I never get tired of watching The Cups. I like it. Also, wishing you a full recovery buddy.
You are an amazing magician
Awesome work sir. Always fascinated by it as a fellow magician!
The show is almost the same, the tricks are almost the same, the jokes are almost the same, .. yet every time it's a new pleasure watching you! Good to see you're getting better after the whole quarantine..adventures. Be well Hannibal..
Just wow. You're such an amazing artist
. Would love to see you performing live once.
Really Great
God damnnnnn I have been following your channel for years and you never cease to amaze......... keep at it you god among men!
That was slick, man. Well done.
Great stuff, ianx,
So cool. I figured it out after a few views, but ... damn, that's smooth!
You are so good :) thanks for the wonders you show us. Hi from France ;)
I love your act. U know what ...I have been thinking a lot about magic and some of your trix and stories after discovering u on YT couple of year ago I think. (I'm on the other side of a big sea.) It is so familiar. I Had a fascination for magic as a child, but growing up most magic (in my view) turned into bad wizardry. Like a evil spell or something had hit the act. Just want to say I like your style and you made me teach my niece some trix. I think I wouldn't if I hadn't bumped into you on YT. Applause for u.
Supreme kudos indeed. Thank you!
Amazing. Absolutely amazing. You could write it all down, but we’d never be able to recreate it! All the best from the UK, home of Paul Daniels - fellow sleight-of-hand master 👍
I've never seen this video recorded of you before! Great upload! Keep up the good work and it sorta looks like your Bell's Palsy is improving. The country is slowly opening back up and hopefully you can get back to entertaining and making people laugh cause you'll never lose your positive aura that radiates off of you. You'd probably be good on the show ' Penn and Tellers: Fool Us'. They said the premise of their show is not to necessarily to be fooled but they want to find people who are good entertainers. I'm sure you'd be able to make the audience laugh. Even if they're not fooled, there are times they will approach the magician after the show to have them perform in Las Vegas as a few opening acts for them along with a few other magicians. Stay safe out there and stay positive! I'm sure you'll always be an inspiration to people out there that are just learning how to perform tricks.
@ 3:10 is the most amazing trick : making an annoying spectator shut up. ;)
People are finally cheering the best trick: here to there.
Hannibal the GOAT
Hannibal: what did we learn?
Me: Hannibal takes shit from no one. 😂
👏👏👏👏👏
there is a ton of magicians out there. wherever you look there is one lurking in the shadows. then there's Hannibal, who makes magic actually fun to watch. i have seen your cups videos a hundred times and that is still not enough for me. so thank you for entertaining me (and all of us), much appreciated. i am in the UK but still would like to buy your book. the special edition. signed by my favourite magician - you. do you send stuff overseas? if so i am going to get meself a great birthday present. thanks again..
I do ... but the shipping cost is usually around 30 dollars US. Contact me at info@themagicartist.com and I can give you an exact shipping total.
I haven't watched you in a while sir. But I remember the first time I watched your cups video. It made me like magic. It didn't have big props or long drawn out setups. I watched all other cups video of yours after that. Imagine my excitement when I saw this on my recommended today. Instead I had a sever case of second hand embarassment. I believe the Germans have a word for that. I just can't comprehend how someone in the audience could act that way. Still, outstandingly excellent performance. Even if I know now when you load the balls and the limes, I still can't see them. Happy New Year sir. Best wishes to you!
The German word is "Fremdschämen" - the feeling of shame or embarassment for someone else's misbehaviour or stupidity (compound of 'fremd' - foreign/extrinsic, 'schämen' - feeling embarassed or shameful).
@@stephanweinberger Danke!
Hard to play to a shitty room but you handled that really well. Very entertaining.
Good crowd control
Watched it like 10 times, still can’t get the Joke with a nurse 🤌🏻
Nurses would look inside the cup, like they would look inside someone's body orifice. I guess that is what he means.
@@juanmanu9652 oh!
Nurses are "proby", they probe human holes.
Men have prostates which are accessible via the anus and are like their G-Spot.
Hannibal wants someone "proby" to stimulate his prostate.
At least that's what I get from it lol (apologies Hannibal if that's not it)
@@Wolf_runner12 lol
@@amandasantini6265 Not exactly right ... but funny. :)
I think I have seen videos of you doing this trick a number of times but it's always fun again. :-)
And I STILL haven't figured out where the lemons come from :D
Edit: The links in the description are somehow broken, because they have some additional characters on them. Maybe a problem with copy pasting them. Cheers.
Thanks for the heads up - I fix that. (The lemons come from California.)
@@HannibalSpeaks Three for a dollar at Ralph's!
Gotta know now Hannibal! Who is your favorite baseball team? Great video by the way ❤️
Atlanta ... just because my Dad took me to my first game to see them.
Your interaction with a heckler was very teacherly--authoritative but calm. Were you a school educator before being a magician?
3:13 was it real when Hannibal called out the audience? I think so.
Wonderfully Done. Was this at Magic Castle? How did they get the cell phone inside?
Amazing trick! I always love your videos :)
However, the sound only seems to come from the left, if you can, don’t put your videos on stereo in that situation.
I can watch this routine on loop all day. The practice it must have taken to get this flawless is commendable sir. I also love how you handled the situation with the “heckler”.
I see your face is getting better! I told you that it would be better after two weeks (in a comment in your bells palsy video)!
Thank you, but this video was shot about two years ago and the ad at the end happened about a month before the palsy. Thank you for your good thoughts!
What a beautiful performance , after 2 mins i just stopped following the ball and enjoyed the performance.
Hannibal isn't a magician he's an honest to God wizard. I saw a video of him performing this for a crowd who were so blown away they didn't even know what they were witnessing
She really had the nerves to say
“Blow Sarah your good at it” 😒
3:14
Overall It’s unbelievable how he has mastered this trick I can’t seem to Wrap my head around gets me every time
He has masterful crowd control. To shut down a heckler that is jealous of how pretty his assistants are and to just blantly make some sexual remark shows how mature the show was great but how an immature, karenish, piece of shit, childish, diminutive, narcissistic, egotistical, downright disgraceful that person was. Hes an artist and his audience didnt deserve such a toxic personality like that. I hope they rethink their life on how ugly they are compared to the assistants there. Shameful absolutely piece of shame
More than I like magic, a small hobby of mine is origami. Is there any good, simple tricks a beginner can learn in slight of hand for something like that? I think it would be neat to crumple up a ball of paper and turn it into a butterfly or something like that
There is a book called folding money Fooling. It's very good
@@HannibalSpeaks Thank you, both for the advice and being the best magic performer out there but still responding to fans
Was this a new performance at the Magic Castle in 2021? Or this was from a few years ago?
You really look like Hannibal is the perfect name for you
Wow, heckler in the crowd
Love it when that happens.
"Copperfield makes an airplane vanish" ... naaah ... I'm gonna watch Hannibals "The Cups" for the 100th time
How are you doing after your video explaining your face paralysis?
It's kind of a rough ride, to be honest. But I am taking care of myself and hope to make a full recovery.
audio is only out of one speaker
I hope that lady isn't driving home
Update on the book?
The publisher has it ...
@@HannibalSpeaks proposed publication date?
@@LSMitchell that is unknown to me at this time. The moment I know I will announce it to the public.
5:25 Sad you've got to do that now.
I agree with YOU by the way Hannibal. This new generations lack of self awareness and etiquette when at a live shows (or anywhere) is rather astonishing.
How to handle a heckle/drunk
It must be a magician when (s)he convinces you that the C# you're hearing is actually a C.
My left ear enjoyed the show :)
Joke aside amazing show Hannibal. As an european i really would go crazy with your audience. They talk into the show and i feel like they dont have respect for the art. Muricans are very loud. :/
