Chris, I know you probably will never read this message, but I got to get this off my chest. I just recently became a huge fan of yours, I'd say about 5 months ago. I've seen a ton of your videos and you are by far one of the best magicians out there... not only that your a cool dude too! However, this video in particular touched my heart! Since Christmas of last year, my dad has fought through Stage 4 Liver Cirrhosis, it was so bad that I thought we were going to lose him before 2018. He has also fought and won against Prostate Cancer, and just had hip sugery (which the ball joint popped out of socket a couple days after surgery). I say all that to say this, you make the impossible, seem possible... not only that, you explain how it can be done. Also, I would love my dad to get that feeling of amazement, as I do watching your videos... wether it be solving puzzles (which I personly love) or your magic (which I'm trying to learn, by my fat fingers get in the way... haha). My dad, is my best friend, and he's been through a lot. To see a smile on that mans face is such a gift to me... because it was almost taken away!! Thank you, and please keep up the wonderful work you do!! Semper Fi my man!!

Bruh those people were calm af. If I saw that I'd be hoppin round and screamin. Good job, keep up the good work man

2023 and still you're the best for me. Miss your magic videos bruh.

Already back then a true visionary! and now ... 5 years later, this man has the audience he deserves! 2.5 miljon people supporting his passion . Stay true to what you love Chris! We'll support you! #RamFam

Dude such wise words, and amazing photography and of course beautiful magic and performance, you just inspired me to create a video like this! thanks a lot man

Stumbled on this old video. You Came a long way, so glad you’re still doing something you’re passionate about and love. So inspirational

That one brunette girl holding the red pack is all like, "I'm not going to let him see that I'm having a great time. I'm not that easy."

So good to go back and look at these videos. Seeing where Chris is now and his personality now compared to where he was just 6 years ago. Such an amazing and awesome progression

people dont like long tricks, even tho i really like the trick you did in the middle, i realized people lose interest in tricks that take longer than 1-2 mins.

"You can leave the roll of quarters in there" 😂😂😂

My favorite reactions were yours Chris. The look on your face when you see their reaction, you can tell you absolutely love every minute of what you do and it fills me with warmth every time. God bless man.

I'm watching 5 years later,still fresh and amazing,also what's the name of the music?

Finally made it to the end or should I say the beginning of the Chris Ramsay journey. It's been a true pleasure. Thank you

Loved it.

That woman in the grey dress has the most dull personality ever. That was an awesome trick cmon!!!

Chris, your performances during vid were outstanding, genuine and highly skilled. You have put years of arduous work into perfecting your craft. You are a credit to all that have come before;however, many thousands of years have elapsed. Man, who wouldn't dig this??? Please continue!!!

This was great! Loved it!

Bro that girl in gray didn't give any fucks like she wasn't impressed at all

Every after Chris does a magic trick, his genuine and humble laugh in the end is so cool and amazing, even to this day. Such an amazing and genuine person

hey chris, you not only bring smiles to the audience you work with but to many people out in the world. I'm from South Africa and i really enjoy your videos and it bring so much joy and inspiration. I really want to learn these things and bring just as much smiles to people here as you have over there. Youre an awesome person and dont you ever change. Keep it up buddy

Amazing video and inspiring to me. I have some friends and people that think im stupid for wanting to learn magic but this inspired me to keep going. Thanks so much, amazing words, magic, and amazing inspiration! :)

Great cinematography & camera work. I felt like I was watching a TV show.

you bring a whole different meaning to magic for me dude I started with your videos and I've been doing magic for a month now and I've learned so much from you on the morals and the meaning of magic I've been depressed for most of my life and since I've discovered magic my life has changed so much, just bringing joy to someone's face with the simplest things as magic doesn't just make there day but it makes mine. keep it up man and don't let ANYONE bring you down, we might not know each other in person but just know that you have brought someone out of the depths of hell and brought him up thank you so much for everything

Keep doing what you're doing man. It's so cool to see people react like that and sort of surreal at the same time. It makes them happy and it makes me happy

4:46 "dont show it to me" girl just gives him the card faceup lmao...

*Chris I was getting demotivated about magic, but then I watched this video! Chris has something! something inspirational, something magical, Thanks Chris!!*

I came back to this, scrolled through your videos, watched it, and have seen you came a long way, you've done so much and you've made enjoyable content I can sit back and just relax to. This is beautiful.

I want you to know that this video has changed my life... you’re an amazing person and I love how much you make people see outside the box and use their imagination I love you bro!!!🙏🏼🔥

This video got me so emotional, YOU ARE SUCH A GOOD PERSON CHRIS, I LOVE YOU!

I loved your take on all those tricks!!! Definitely going to steal a few!! Thank you!!

Thanks for sharing this, Chris. Your words describe the exact reason for why I love doing magic. I love seeing people’s reactions and the joy and amazement on their faces.

I think, this is the greatest monologue yet on the subject.

I found you a few days before, and man... You are soo cool. not just by your tricks, but as a person. keep it good man!

As a magician of 5 months, this really inspired me to get on the streets to perform. Hopefully I will soon!

been watching your videos for about 3 months now, ripping through your content voraciously. but this..... this just about brought a tear to my eye. Love your philosophy about magic.

this is still one of the most inspiring street performance videos I've EVER watched! the music choice and monologue at the start and the performance :O

I fell absolutely in love with this video. I've always wanted to become a magician, but I always though to myself, "what if I mess up?" or "what if I don't have enough faith to proceed on if I fail?" I just want to be a great magician, and be known for who I am, and what I do. Thank you Chris for bringing outstanding magic into this world. And do you know the piano melody, I want to use it in one of my magician videos someday. Thank you again Chris for the outstanding magic you bring to the world.

Mr. Ramsay, this is by far my favorite video of yours! :D I mean, sure, your other videos are incredible too, but this one is so inspiring, relaxing, motivating and just beautiful at the same time! I think, you're my favorite magician, because I love how natural you deal with the spectators and they seem really focused on what you're doing there and they make an happy impression on me. :) Keep up what you're doing, cause you're amazing! ;D

I love you Chris. I am a grown ass man whom your video's continually bring to tears. I love your content.

Jesus man. By far some of the best showmanship I have seen in ages. If you ever come to Texas I would definitely love to watch in person

so this is what Ragnar Lothbrok has been up to....

3:12 That old man had me laughing 😂

Such an inspiration for us all man, truly you make this world a better and magical place, thank god for your life, Chris

hey, i know it's been more than a year since this was posted, but i just watched your lecture and the biggest thing i took from it (besides KLEPTO) is WOW, this guy really loves magic and he really loves doing it, and it clearly shows it on your videos. i've seen a lot of people do street magic, some were good, some were great, some were even excellent, but a very rare thing is seeing someone like you that truly loves what he does. I just wanted to congratulate you on your huge success, and tell you that you're an inspiration for those that love what we do, even if it's not magic.

1:17 i guess it was in that moment when chris put the piece of card in his pocket, AMAZING performer and acting, hands down.

Wooo, whoooo, whoo, whoo🎶 Wooo, whoooo, whoo, whoo

It's so cool to see your older material, to feel that wonder with the art. To experience your origin story.

Ive been binge watching you for about a week now since you randomly poped up in my suggested. Now seeing this old video i can see a huge difference in your videos and magic. Good looks man

Awesome tricks I never seen like this before.make more long street magic videos.

As a magician i would like to say that the first explanation about "What's Magic" was amazing. You really got it!

Wow! 9 years later. This video got me to begin my journey into magic 5 years ago and it continues to inspire me!

Chris Ramsay deserves to be known more than he is! Really a big inspiration for me! Always remember that "Magic is not only a trick" cheers.

8:28 was my favorite part where he said "I trusted you"

Lovely.

You know a lot of KZfaq's are in it for the money. When you see a video like this you can see someone who is truly sharing their feelings, someone that has passion for the art. Chris here has just shown that, the true passion of making people stop and enjoy and smile.

discovered you recently Chris, gotta say I really enjoy watching you do your thing. you have a great presence with your audience. I look forward to more from you.

"You can leave the roll of quarters" lol

Awesome ! But whats the name of that song in the background ?

Man, Chris. You're awesome bro. I just started doing some card tricks and man you are inspiring me. I'm just rewatching all of your video's and you are crazy man! The best on youtube. Keep it up! From Holland

Going through some of your vids & found this one. The wonderment you have doing the vid & the street magic you did. World Class Chris. Please keep that in mind. Having that dream of magic & bringing it to the world. 100% RESPECT. TF

Dude this is amazing !! May I ask which camera was used for the video

BRAVO!!!!!

It doesn't matter how much time passes since I first watched this video! Few things inspire me as much as this!! Magic is a beautiful gift to give to people don't forget that!

Magic is such a beautiful craft. I remember how i felt when someone performed a trick i learned barely 2 years ago. And the trick was done in front of me when i was probably 14 years old. I'm 27 now I wish I had practiced more of it. Because it's people like Chris Ramsay that make the world a whole lot more interesting. And better. I have not a clue what his budget is but South Texas needs people like him. There might be one guy out here as we speak perfecting the craft enough to perform but until that better magician pops out. I'll do simple simple slight of hands every now and then. The one I'm trying to perfect now is a coin trick, but it just falls everywhere each time.

Amazingly good! Too bad that some people in the vid almost don't react. You should try other neighborhoods, like the outerskirts of a city.

How to do street magic- 1. Follow Crowley's teachings step by step. 2. You have a demon helping you do the magic. 3. Finished!

Chris, love the comparison you make between that "false last step" and the reaction from an audience member. Every time I see a Magic trick that appears impossible I feel completely unhinged from reality, not even knowing what to say or think. Thanks for being so real, Brother.

The in-their-hands magic, and the slick edited POV filming aside, I loved revisiting my old 'hood with you. Thanks, and well done!

had to sub!

I need tutorials, imagine how many numbers I could get with this😂😂😂

Man I've been watching your vid for 3 weeks now and I love your channel, thanks so much man you really inspire me when I was a kid I was living in the country where you can't buy or do what you want unless you work hard for it and because of that I couldn't do magic even though I wanted to, I remember when one my cousin did a magic trick on me when I was with him I was so amazed and that's the feeling I want people to feel to feel happy amazed like your back being into your old self and now I'm in Australia I'm finally get to do magic thanks to your channel you help me a lot 🙏🙏👍

Honestly you have inspired me to do card tricks and I want to see people smile when I do the tricks for them

So strange not seeing tatted hands.

Hey Chris what is the music in the video.

Great monologue, super sound track. Greatness through humility...

I love this video, the magic and the words by Chris....so beautiful.

if you literally had to choose one thing to keep in your life chess or magic...which would you give up forever.

theres somthing about david blain and his lack of expression and confidence that makes it more believable than an enthusiastic performer, just my thoughts

Man, you're just awesome, I started watching your videos like a couple of weeks ago, and I always liked magic, and a year ago I started doing magic tricks, I tried to learn cardistry and I studied hypnosis too, and only now I met your channel, i found your channel about two weeks ago like I said, because I'm Brazilian,so forgive my poor English, I studied how to speak English for 4 years, here we don't have any magicians like you, so good and that shares knowledge, I really am enjoying your videos, not only tutorials, cause I learned better magic tricks with you, I'm getting better because of you, but I'm getting more compromised with magic watching this kind of video, and I get very excited with this videos, envolves me a lot, thank you for doing this with people like me, and maybe you didn't know that you're affecting people from so far like me, thanks a lot man, really.

I just want to thank you Chris for this inspiring video. I've been going through a hard time and watching your videos has helped me cope with it. Plus now i can make my Gambit cosplay more legit!

HOW DO YOU ONLY HAVE 3,350 subs???.... People should carrying your message around like it's a disease!!

Watching this in 2019 so weird seing you with out all the tats on your hands

I just wanna say thanks for all the inspiration and tutorials. I love learning and practicing. You are a great teacher

Can't believe that Chris can this motivating... I gotta say Chris I'm inspired and I loved it...

Woah dude, The Matrix was a pretty good film. lol

at 1:17 u see him put the paper in his pocket before he starts the trick

Thank you Chris for everything you have done and continue to do, you're amazing.

Watching this in the future when I know how half those tricks were done, I still can't spot the moves I looked out for 🤣🤣 super smooth! My favourite magician on KZfaq ✌🏻

2019 team 😂

What's the music's name, Please ? (From 0:05 to 1:10) and (From 8:40 to 9:55) Thank you.

Dear Chris, I loved this video! You have a gift I pray you use it to continue to bring joy into peoples lives ❤️🙂

I've watched this video many times over the years and I love it!

Slips piece of card into his pocket at 1:16, gives spectator illusion of picking card by saying "tell me when to stop" (even though magician stops on per-determined card), rips card but keeps in left hand and holds behind card at 1:37, disposes when he walks to the left side of the 2 guys at 1:50, app already has per-determined piece of card on it, swipes, and finds piece of card in pocket. The magic is in the charisma and control of audience with minor slight of hand. Not every one can do magic, but this guy has charisma and control.

who's here from king bach

I look forward to finally starting my journey this year on youtube :) It's awesome to know that people like you exist. A genuinely kind person! Your amazing and I hope maybe we can do some magic together in the next three years it's going to be a blast! BOOM!

Well said, and you are the reason people have a smile on their face that day. You can change someones whole day, just by pulling them aside, and brightening up their day when they are down.

I've watched this video 100 times and I never get bored. I watch this to get inspiration. You're awesome man.

I want to learn those kinds of tricks, unfortunately I know some alright ones. I love magic and I love how people react when you do something they don't expect, especially when you 'mess up' I work at a gas station, so you know I ain't doing good in my career choices, but I started learning how to do actual magic in order to make every trip a customer has a special and unique one. I must admit my heart gets warmer every time someone says "you just made my day so much better!" or when little kids have that sense of wonder and they're just genuinely blown away and they just high five you, give you a hug or just brag about you to their friends at school. I love how magic touches people and they just genuinely become happy. Pass those smiles around more often!

i cant stop watching it, such a great performer and the best inspiration, thanks for everything bro

I know this is a really old video, but I just watched, and now I wanna cry, god damn Chris
