I wish that the magic olympics were televised like the summer and winter olympics are.

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!

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.

Really great speech at the end. It takes unique perspectives to bring positive change to a community that can be so guarded. Well done!

14:42 that hand movement WOW! that glass ball looks like its floating! AMAZING!

"I won't touch the cards"... Proceeds to touch every single card.

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.

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!! 😉

Thank you for taking us along with you, thoroughly enjoyed!!

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 came here for the puzzles and then fell in love with magic ... Thanks Chris !

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.

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. 😊

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

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.

Love these Magic videos, Chris. Thank You!

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.

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

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.

Thanks for making this video Chris, I am always amazed to see so much creativity and magical performances.

The Juggling part of the video made me smile :))) It was magical. Pun intended :D

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

Can't wait to have the time to sit down and watch this whole video! I saw the first 3 mins, and it looks like a great time already! 👍

This was awesome, Chris .. right down to the music choice and sound design 🤘... thank you for sharing 🙏

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.

DUDE SO HAPPY FOR YA!!!

Loving the classic vlog content! Takes me back to the beginning of the channel!!

What a fun trip. Thanks for sharing it. Hope the coffee was good. 😊

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..

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!

what was that guy's website? I couldnt understand what he said...

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,been watching you puzzle solve for a few years I've watch you struggle and have seen your success,stick to your passion,thanks for sharing.

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.

I think what you are doing is nothing short of amazing. Keep pushing this art and keep growing this community. Semper Fi brother

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!

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

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!

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!❤️

This was amazing to see, thanks for the wholesomeness and down to earthness❤

Really nice vibe! The insert of Bonjorno made me smile :)

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! ✌️👍👊👌♥️🇨🇦

Great video - felt I was there. Amazing magic. Many thanks.

Love everything about this vid. Cheers.

When that tune kicked in and magic juggling started... Wow and amazing vibes

Im glad i found this video today i have been following you for a long time now and u have inspired me so much to pick up cards and im going to try and book my flight for next year to Italy!!!!

14:42 was fireeee. the music, editing, a VIBE

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

Thanks for sharing this awesome magic 😊👏💪👍🪄✨️✨️✨️

This is going to be fun to watch. I already know it!

Fantastic, man! Thank you for sharing this!

Great message at the end there!!! I totally agree ❤

Thank you for posting this video - felt like I attended.

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!

Thank you Chris for the tour of the dealer's room and glimpse into the new magic.

Love, love, love ❤️

This video was dope!!!! Thanks for the content I love the IRL style

Really love watching your magic stuff bud. So glad to see you promoting magic...keeping it alive.

Thank you for sharing!!

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!!!

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

You're a king for getting on stage and sharing your view.

fantastic video. keep going! The tricks were amazing

What an amazing opportunity! Congrats!

Love the show. U make magic cool again

Honestly, if they put this on twitch this would be amazing publicity.

i think you said exactly what the event needs, it needs more people like you, saying "hey look, this is happening, and i think its dope" coz i didn't even know this existed. also, nice vid

I love that magic juggling ball. So satisfying every time I see it

These are my favorite type of videos. I’ve never been to a magic convention but hope to attend one someday in the future.

Let’s goooooo! Magic time!!😊

Magic allows me rekindle that sense of wonder that I had when I had was a small child 👏👏😀😀😀

What A speech man! Well done Chris!

Cool stuff man. I was def like wtf a few times with no idea but a lot of the same sleight of hand stuff happening for the most part

another cool video, thanks for sharing

Looked like it was unique and magical . And glad you enjoyed yourself 👍😁🤗🤲

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

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.

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.

Thank you for Sharing your experience. My favorite magic is the cards or close up magic. I can watch close up magic for days.Please Stay Safe Happy and Healthy Have A Wonderful Day

Heck yeah!! Hope you had a good time even if you didn't qualify!

These are my favorite videos of yours

Chris you're great!

That was awesome. Thanks 🎉

He’s back!! ❤️❤️

Amazing! And so close to home to! Are the dates for next year’s World Cup already out?

Your out there for all of us that can’t be. Well done sir! Hotel looks out of a Wes Anderson movie!

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 KZfaq 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.

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 .

Amazing video buddy! M'y fav was the GHB and the Britney Spears walk off music xoxox love you and miss you

"Unliftable deck" could be nicknamed Thor's deck or the Mjolnir deck challenge. 😉

That coin jar with the 3 coins was really cool. It definitely stood out to me

Awesome doc!

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.

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

I need that short long one, cool

Love seeing someone like Chris blown away by a trick.

That was wonderful, magical and amazing thank you once again ,love it when you share your life. (SWEET 💜💯💫)💞💋

Great video. Out of all the new magic that you got to see in the dealers room, was there 1 new idea that blew your mind?

Love from Italy Chris
