I wasn't even there and I felt the pressure...Jesus.

Beautiful! You truly are the "Lord of the Rings!" I hope that David Copperfield was blown away.

Very nice he seemed gauntly impressed. You were very smooth.

Another superb performance! I can't believe how smooth and relaxed you were in this situation. I bought your rings and DVD... You've made linking rings interesting again.

I enjoy your performance and meeting David Copperfield

what an honor it would be for me to perform for me to meet my childhood magician

My man!!!!!! This was great!!!

Well done Mr. Messado. I performed the traditional linking rings for many years, but you have revolutionized the rings and methods. What an honor to perform before David Copperfield. Your composure was commendable and your performance superb. It looks like Copperfield tries to keep himself very composed, so you have to watch the video a few times to see all his reactions. For those who think he was bored and has seen it all, watch it again and crank up the volume to listen to his comments. Watch for when he raises his eyebrows, nods his head, smiles, or looks screen right at someone. Each time he does any of those, he is showing he was impressed, liked the move, and in a couple of cases, probably even surprised by what he saw. During the routine after the index finger melt apart, I heard him comment, "that's good", and something else I can't make out for sure, but sounded like "I like that". At the end speaking of the index finger move, he states, "this moment's great" and "that moment is terrific", and of the spiral spin and separation on his arm in the finale, he states, "this movement's terrific, the gyration's terrific"! And then in closing he says, "for people who've seen it all ... there's a moment ... ". I can't make out the rest of what he said due to poor audio. Though he responded and spoke in a subdued manner, I think this shows he was obviously impressed overall with Mr. Messado, his rings, and his moves and presentation. So well done sir. Wish I had discovered this several years ago when you first posted it.

Legendary!

I AM SO JEALOUS RIGHT NOW. Seriously, great routine. You looked to have really got David to smile.

What an experience! Wonderful performance on your part.

that was so awesome!

Great job, I love your ring routine. There's parts of Shoot Ogawa's I like also like his spinning on the table link, and Dan Fleshmans 1st link. Great routine. Its a little strange how they all ignore you at the end and interrupt trying to take David away, but this moment was yours. I'd bet that was the best trick he saw in a lonng time...

Props to you! I would have choked under pressure, lol Great job and great routine!

If you want to impress copperfield, give him magicians magic. Everything else, he already knows.

Look at Gregory Wilson standing all aggressive LOL

Makes me think, if I had a chance to do magic for David Copperfield, what trick would I do?

That was dope

David is the real G.O.A.T.

That has get to be the GREATEST feeling to hear Copperfield nod his head in a "that was good" fashion. And then say "As someone who has seen everything, that was great" damn.

But seriously Josh - nice job. ;)

Nice

Jeez I'm feeling stressed for u. Well done

ok big JOSH!!!!!

Haha, it looks all shady until Chris introduces you. It looks like they all enjoyed it a lot!

Perfectly done. ᵔᴥᵔ ★★★★★ Katalyzt

A shame that such a momentous occasion was shot on a lame cell phone instead of a decent video camera. Once in a lifetime opportunities only come but once.

Let’s be real. This is the greatest moment of Masato’s whole life

lol, Copperfield seems pissed that he can't figure them out

Elite performance. It's too bad Copperfield's giant ego prevents him from enjoying other people's brilliant magic.

I think the thing that impressed copperfield the most was seeing a colored doing magic

Cool that you met Copperfield, but.. the linking rings? One of the lamest tricks of all time? You didn't know that Copperfield owns all the original methods and all of the books ever written on the linking rings trick? What's wrong? You didn't have the cups and balls trick to show him? The only trick that could possibly have been any gayer? Lucky thing David is polite. You must have bored the fuck out of him!
