Dude put all his points in charisma and dexterity
yes
Ha!! Well put!
Well, after maxed those two out, he min-out the others and put all the excess points in intelligence I believe.
@@TEMUCHINYONGA you might need a few more points into Intelligence my friend.
He is obviously playing 3.5 and unloaded mass amount of feats.
I'm unimpressed, considering I have an ex-wife that made my entire house disappear.
bruh im dead
😂😂
Sorry for your house .but you really made me laugh this morning.
Wait what how?
Nima Gurung
just like that , just like you know how.
You know.
My ex wife was a house keeper. We got a divorce..... she kept the house.
Doing the trick is one thing, but his showmanship and dry humour is another. Loved it.
It reminds me a lot of watching Penn Jillette do his thing.
Very underrated. I would have been the outlier in the crowd crying laughing when it was quiet.
Both of which are amazing in their own rights!
Same.
Doesn't take much for you huh?
As someone who used to mentor people in public speaking, I would often tell them to watch magicians. The ability to build rapport with an audience who is inherently trying to “catch you” lying to them is an excellent skill to learn, and this is a great example of doing it well.
that's a very interesting method
@@amirfarahbakhsh2960 thanks. I have always believed that public speaking should be fun and people put way too much pressure on themselves, so finding fun and interesting examples, rather than just “here’s 5 good speeches, figure out why” was really important to me.
magicians are not lying there simply creating theatre the same way you create a movie
@@garyp4374 i didn't know making a movie was simple
@@amirfarahbakhsh2960 you are putting words into my mouth because you don't understand what I have said. At what point did I say it was simple ?
i lost my shit when he said "the cups are identical - especially this one" but the crowd was just...
You’d be surprised how many people aren’t the fastest thinkers lol
“And this one is twice as identical” that got me lol
@@quewhyes7605 its funny on another level. it's a G rated joke, too. not pg 13 or PG its rated G across all generations and its witty. I can't praise the dude enough but i'll stop before i seem obsessed.
@@ioiwut4874 While I agree it crosses generations, I doubt everyone will get the Animal Farm by George Orwell reference.
@@kahls7306 i just meant that it has humor that any age can appreciate without being offended. obviously an one year old won't get any of the jokes and some 130yr old ptsd war vet might think its all voodoo. Just being practical ;)
He's a magician *and* a comedian. They should be paying him twice as much
Instead they pay him half :
But he's laughing all the way to the bank
ohh lol mock it bro
whats 0 x 2 hahah
comedy magic? That's like pulling Bugs Bunny out of a hat!
His witty commentary is really impressive, and he's barely putting much thought into performing this trick.
Really early this time
He’s here!
I wanna know how he does it 🥺
pffft, i was here way before you were. let's go
Have you ever considered growing a moustache just to shake things up a bit?
If you keep going back and watching frame by frame you can eventually tell how he did it and it just makes it so much more impressive, the dexterity is unbelievable
yeah I found the part where the orange goes in the cup and it was so fast it almost looked fake around the 4 minute mark
if you watch frame by frame, you can see exactly how this act is only possible through prankery. its fake. why else you think they cant do anything in one take? it has to keep switching camera to camera, because its fake.
@@sollitdude1 it's not fake. if you want an explanation, i'll put it in the read more.
He has 3 foosballs and fakes putting the ball in between his hands, and while he takes them off the table he can refill the cups. When he tips the cups to nudge the ball off of the cup, he also loads the cups. It's very impressive dexterity
@@sollitdude1 dude you can literally see him pulling oranges out of his pocket and putting them in the cups, it's not that absurd
@@chib4528 I thought 4 foosballs
Plot Twist. All illusionists are actually trained magicians just making it look like slight of hand so no one digs deeper.

Shhhhh, don’t give away too much
@@ABEditzHD Go away.
@@jackdaw7792 Bro my brother broke it , my mum said that my ps4 would be repaired if i could reach 1000 subs , ihave only played once in it , plse help me dude
He's got something worth far more than the gimmicky tricks: humor and wit.
While I fully agree with your assessment of his humor and wit... I must point out that there are no "gimmicks" being used in this act. The magic here is pure slight of hand. Years of practice went into perfecting his craft, and it shows.
Using the word gimmick belittles that accomplishment.
It's probably not improv but the script is damn well written
Mamm are you a nurse?
Well he use that for misdirection...thats a part of the trick
The humour is there to compliment the tricks, which are themselves pretty cool sleight of hand.
Everyone knows how this trick is done by now, unless they're completely new to magic acts. Penn and Teller did it with clear plastic cups so you can see how it works. The joy is in watching a master perform it. It's like classical music. You know what it sounds like, but listening to it performed well is still very satisfying.
lol i still cant figure out how they did it
@@philthehexagon2989 Sleights of hand, alot of fake movement to trick the eyes. Also misdirection.
It’s a rare trick. Knowing how it’s done makes it even more amazing
He holds the wand to hide that he's palming extra balls, and any time his hand is near his pocket, he's doing the opposite of what he's representing. Performing the trick without the gimmick being spotted is a true artform
When he puts the first orange under the cup you can see it, but he is amazing at that transition. He moved the cup to his hand and put the orange in it in a single motion, allowing him to use his other hand to attract the audience's attention. It's hard to imagine being that smooth and precise while looking so casual.
You can see the 2nd one as well, but not the 3rd one because they switched to a different camera angle.
Impressive eye you have! Bravo!
"how mamy people saw me put the orange into the cup?"
Everyone: "that's a lemon"
My brain: "yes"
i saw the first few times with the little balls, but i got lost
By luck I spotted the orange going into the cup when he turns away a bit .. went back to check and if you pause just right at 4:04 you get a glimpse of the orange.
Confess failed to see the small balls though and loved the banter. (y)
@@avacee immediately after showing the orange he puts another orange inside cup a as your minds like 'wtf'
@@avacee OH SHIT! there it is!!!
I found all three of the fruits when he put them in the cups
“This ball reappears here. That ball re appears here. They switch places”
I lost it 😂
Yeah the crowd really liked that one, but none of the actual sleight of hand moves
@@cooltrainerchris3250 uh what the crowd loved the sleight of hand ones. this one was so funny because he did the other moves imo.
I liked "Choose a cup!" Cup A? Great, it disappears from A and appears in B. Very subtle joke.
Word
@@cooltrainerchris3250 neh, they liked em, he's just not great on the delivery so he has to point out ''now this bit is done, you may clap''
he knows his weakness and found a way to work with it, and make it a great part of the comedy.
his whole attidude\way off speaking would would normally putt people off, but he presents it as an ''act'' while showing that's just the way he is and can't do much about it
The guy is sooooo captivating the audience forgot to clap. I've never seen anyone like him before.
Even watching this guy at a quarter of normal speed, I still can't directly see him doing things, I only see small movements which I assume to be when the changes happen. Jesus this guy is insanely good.
Also him talking about not trying to sound condescending while slowed way down is funnier than it should be.
you can press , or . (< or >) to frame-by-frame on youtube. you can see him loading all the fruit, but the balls were pretty slick. definitely had to go back to see it for sure though. camera fucked up on the last one, but you can tell when he does it when he pulls the cup to the side.
I was able to see his slide of hand at the beginning.
Like, the first 1 or 2 slides.
But after that, he still managed to lose me.
Slide of hand is always a pleasure to watch!
he puts the orange in at 4:04 right when everyone is looking at the two balls
@@davecrupel2817
Bone apple teeth!
Its Slight of Hand.
Not slide of hand.
@@plutonicattic7995 *sleight
Anytime the audience didn't clap when something impressive happened, I'm pretty sure they were like me, just staring at the cups, the table, his hands, trying to make some sense of anything that was happening.
So when he lifts the cup to toss off the balls thats when it happens it happens way before u actually are expecting the "trick" to come pay attention when hes "setting" up the new trick
I saw the first ball on the first one getting handed to his other hand then into the cup but not the second ball
i have no fucking idea what the guys above me are talking about or any idea of what the fuck is going on in this wizardy.

Hardest I ever laughed from UA-cam comment. Thank you
That would hilarious if that were true.
This guy is really, really good. And he employs the audience in his dialogue to them. Great show. Vegas, here he comes.
07.08.2013 xD
you kinda late
What’s insane is just how obvious and easy to see what the tricks are and when he does them but how insanely good he is at little misdirection. I didnt catch basically anything my first watch but went back through and specifically watched a single cup and every time his hand interacted with it and you could pretty much see him moving the balls but it took a whole second watch with high focus to catch.
A comedian and a magician. Most magicians throw in a little comedy, but this guy masters is well.

Fat people are funny even when they're just stood there.
@@hennersss but not you, though
@@mortache no, not me.

Also amazement.
hes suffering from success
@@yourgrandpa2539 DJ KHALEEEEED WE DA BEST MUSICCCC MUSIC MUSICCC
I know, right? =D
They're like deer in the headlights. Same as my own reaction to this.
@@Vitaliuz he also speaks as if the trick hasn't started, he's still explaining the premise, we're waiting for the show to start only to find it's left without us, and without our applause.
This is one performance I've seen a ton of times and I still enjoy it. Hannibal completely aces this. The "show of hands, how many of you saw me put the orange under the cup?" is such a killer finish.
I've seen this thumbnail for years but never clicked on it. Today I gave it a shot, and was shocked to find out the magician WASN'T Penn. Real trip.
This guy is not a magician he's a stand up comic lmao. This is hilarious.
Labels don't matter much. He does both.
PickyMcCritical you deserve the name you picked. You're implying yourself that I gave him labels when it was clearly just a way to compliment him.
Sleight*
I don't think this guy could fast if he wanted to.
He's a stand up comicgician
VERY impresssive. The "they're identical, especially this one" joke in an of itself would have been enough comedy for the show, but the whole thing peppered with great gags and really impressive feats of stage magic. Well done, Chris Hannibal!!
The reaction to that brilliant joke was flat as hell, this audience were a little dry.
@@UltimaPowers thats condescending lol
@@gyurmethlodroe1774 No it isn't, you clearly don't know what condescending means.
Now THAT'S condescending.
@@UltimaPowers You googled for the meaning of the word "condescending"?
Thats what I call condescending😆
@@gyurmethlodroe1774 Again, no it isn't and I didn't need to google it because I know what it means; you're the one having difficulty correctly diagnosing what is and isn't 'condescending'. I suggest you google that and also the word 'impropriety'.
I had to slow it down this guy is incredible!
1:47 guys head is covering him putting a ball beneath
1:53 he puts that ball from the first cup inside the second cup
2:50 takes the ball from left cup (in hand) and places the ball he's been holding in his right underneath with the ball
(always has a ball in the second hand)
3:06 so smooth with the ball drop between the cups
3:18 he has a ball in his right hand still (notice his 2 smaller fingers gripping)
3:21 the ball in his hand goes in the cup
3:30 ball in right hand goes beneath cup
3:45 lemon placed inside
(taking too long slowing it down)
With the bit at 2:50 he just asks her to pick a cup. He doesn't say what's going to happen first. She picks A and he says, "It's gone from A and both are in B" she could have picked B and he could have responded the same way. "It's gone from A and both are in B"
this video has been recommended to me for five years and i finally gave in.
i was not disappointed.
The people aren't clapping at the right times because they are genuinely listening and they don't want to miss anything. Those sincere moments of silence are even more valuable than applause. What an amazing performance.
And he knows. That's why his comments around it are part of the act.
B K I can’t speak for anyone but myself but if I was there I wouldn’t have applauded either. Not to be rude or nothing but because I was genuinely so interested I would’ve just missed the timing lol.
That, or they're drunk and have a hard time following. Depends on if this is from his own show or if he's doing a corporate gig. Most magicians and stand-up comedians will have stories about doing gigs in front of conference attendees who are already several hours into their day-drinking.
He has them so distracted they don't even notice when he does the trick.
xXRed_Flamingo Xx the hell are you saying that to me for? I haven’t responded to you ya donut.
He’s a great entertainer, people get caught up in the trying to find every trick he does and that shouldn’t matter. It’s about being entertained by the act. The witty jokes and interaction with the crowd, that’s what this is about. Have a good time and just enjoy the show.
What he said.
His personality is bigger than his tricks and (for me) these tricks are pretty great. Great rhythm and basically jokes after every step. You can see his experience and how crafted, but still natural this feels.
I mean...it's also about the tricks, though.
He's basically a stand up comedian with a bit of magic. It's a great act though
Cringe
His cadence and how he uses his speech along with hand getures to distract the audience from the sleights is always incredible, no mstter how many times I see this!
Why are we watching this 9 years later
@@waderomonosky6706 because it's poetry in motion, my friend.
It's great fun to try to figure out what he's doing. Once you realize that, like coin tricks, he never actually passes the ball from hand to hand and there are more than 2 balls, it becomes a game of tracking where they all are. Even when you've figured it out, he does this routine so flawlessly and confidently that you can be amazed at the skill of the performance itself.
"What color?"
"Black-and-white"
"Wrong, the color is LEMON"
I know exactly when he puts the orange/lemon in the cup but I can't see him do it.
The color is 🥴

I miss you Bruce.
You mean he's kind of like a cup with 3 people inside of it?
This guy's so good I honestly stopped trying to catch him and figured 'of course he can do it, he's magic'.
There's a difference between catching and following. Most magicians can follow the routine while few could catch him doing it.
Everytime he addresses the cup with his hands is when he palms or adds balls. I have a feeling depending on your spot in the audience you would be able to see a flash of it, but I had to re-watch it to see the "magic". Very entertaining
@@hansolo631 Magic like this really isn't meant to be rewatched and slowed down. If they got you at full speed, the first time you view it, then they got you.
@@hansolo631 how do you palm an orange
@@rjrmonkey
Yeah, but where is the fun, if you don't know how it works? It's like a movie with the ending.
Watch it a couple times, when you start to spot what he's doing with his hands while he's casually bantering with the audience, you truly start to appreciate his act.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
it's great the way he uses humour to distract the audience from when he's making switches. often his humour is very witty and delivered in a dry way. so the audience takes a moment to realise what he just said and that's when he's making switches
2020 YT algorithm: Today I've decided the mortals must watch this.
same, can relate
Yea, I’ve never watched anything like this on UA-cam 🤷♂️😂
"Hey guys, watch this. I bet I can get this video 1,000,000 extra views every day for a week".
yea.
diew
This is the kind of magician I appreciate, that makes his craft a form of fun entertainment, and not so much a way to try to impress people. The serious kind of magicians are boring af.
Magician comedians are old hat now, but man are they so much better than douches like Criss Angel.
That's why I appreciated Penn and Teller so much when I was growing up. This guy is a blast to watch!
It helps a lot with misdirecting people's attention
yeah, like the ones where they're trapped in a dangerous box and they have to escape... like sure, impressive, but we all know that's a specially crafted gadget that allows the person inside to escape.
Its only magic because of the time delay between when he puts the balls/organes under and the reveal. The audience feels like theyve watched the cup the whole time, but the trick was set up right away 3:46, 4:04, 4:34 are when he puts the fruits under, last one a camera angle ruins it, meaning he was prolly slow that time
a magician who is genuinely funny is always great to watch

These sort of tricks, including cards from nowhere and such, where there is likely not a gimmicked prop just pure sleight of hand skill, are my favorites. It is like watching a juggler or pianist, where you end up looking at your own hands and wonder just how much practice the performer put in to be able to move the way they do. Endlessly Fascinating and Absolutely Impressive!

@@Tasarran Oh yeah, that is an amazing routine and demonstration of the true skill magicians possess.
Here is a version:
ua-cam.com/video/8osRaFTtgHo/v-deo.html
Close-up magic and comedy are so well paired - the greatest of all magicians will always incorporate both elements. I know I'm being fooled, but for me it's a form of entertainment that NEVER gets old.
I watch this every now and again as it's one of my favourite routines and it's one of my favourite magic tricks! A classic performed beautifully. The audience could've woken up a bit more but that makes the showmanship what it is 👌
Not just trick of the hand, he talks you into trying to understand what he's doing, which robs you of your attention.
He's also lying, the trick is that there is more than 2 balls, and he'll tactically wave his hands and swap between the pockets so you cant tell when he's putting the balls in. Its very obvious when you watch his hands as they move to the pockets and keep track in your head of where the balls would have to be, although he's far too good to spot anything but the oranges.
And yes, he's always actually removing the ball, by saying he's not actually picking the ball up, you get confused and think he's not. Going frame by frame shows he totally is.
@@fearedjames Figured out as well that there was more than 2 balls. Tough his trickery is hard to see at all even when you do pay attention.
@@magnusm4 An important note is that while most of these teleporting object tricks are the same idea (use skillful hand movements to hide when you hold objects), not all of them require extra items. Coin matrix for example can usually be done without extra coins.
Generally, the less you have to grab from pockets, the less obvious the trick, so reducing the number of items to the barest minimum is always a good idea.
The "Patter" is 50% of the act.
@@fearedjames Its standard slight of hand he doesn't do anything new it really is the second oldest trick in the book. Penn and Teller's ball and cup are a great way to really appreciate what's actually going on here if you don't mind the trick being spoiled. Watching what it takes to do the ball and cup is way more impressive than the trick itself.
As a magician I can tell you that the one thing I can't explain how he did is the trick at 2:36.
He did nothing;
The balls didn't switch, he just said that they did, bringing up the irony that even if he did switched them, the audience wouldn't know because they are identical
that's also why after that he said
"Seriously you're gonna cheer about that one?"

They weren‘t underwhelming at all
And it wasnt quick thinking, whole thing is planned through.
@@TheRafaelBond liar, the audience was awful
And IM a master debater 😏
Did you english teacher tell you to write a paragraph on this video or something?
Man, this guy is great! Great sleight of hand and great jokes!!
For crying out loud that is smooth. It's absurd. This performer deserved uproarious applause.
There was an amazing magician in Seattle named Cliff Gustafson who performed for customers at a bar I worked at. He was in his seventies. He would often do this exact routine here except he would sort of slip up just a tiny bit, on purpose. I remember the first time I saw it. A friend and I gave each other a look like, "aww, he's getting old", but then when he asked you which cup the ball was in and you "knew already" because you saw the slip, he'd pick it up and instead a tallboy of PBR would be there! I watched him do it again for another table and repeat the fake slip up. He was using his age to really get us! RIP.
I've seen that in street three card monte. The dealer "accidentally" bends the corner of a card. A plant in the audience says to a mark "look, he bent the queen" or whatever. Then every time the dealer shuffles, the marked card is in fact the queen, until the mark is convinced and bets. then the marked card mysteriously changes to something else. VERY smooth and another deliberate mistake.
"Never underestimate an old man in a young mans profession"
Carl Ballantine made a successful career of he slip-up. Then at the reveal he would show you something completely unexpected, but still magical.
Old age and treachery overcome youth and skill.

I come back to this video from time to time. Thank you UA-cam for recommending this yet again.
It's not the tricks that impress, because we know they're tricks. it's the showmanship, the charisma, and the clever misdirection. And the speed of which he marries all those together so well so the Audience isn't sure where they should look to try and peek behind the trick.
Bravo, i thought i was looking very carefully and i was still swept in and caught off guard at almost every turn. Best part was using the breakdown of the trick itself to mask the setup for the next part. You're a class act Mr Hannibal, much enjoyed.

I'm having a hard time deciding what is quicker, his hands or his wit.
This guy is really entertaining.
The wit lines are probably rehearsed. People are very predictable. Nobody cheers when stunned and blindsided by the trick, their brain is too busy saying WTF? Which distracts us and allows them to do even more tricks on our brain. lol.
When it comes to a magic show I simply want to be entertained.
I love how casual the whole experience is, it's genuine disinterest that I find amusing.
This is what I call a performance. Great charisma and banter with great slight of hand.
lash22 amazing how many people do not know that it spelled sleight :D im not trying to be rude but a LOT of people write all kinds of things but not sleight haha
that's wat makes the really good magicians stand out......anybody can research how to do these tricks, or just slow the video down to see how they are done,,,but its the charisma and fun or comedy they bring to a trick that makes them special.
the charisma is part of the trick. you are charmed and look is eyes, or the cups, but not his hands (or his pockets).
An old trick, maybe, but he does it just so well. This was a really excellent balls and cups routine.
no, is quit rly bad
If his act was to do cheap magic really really well to make it look really really bad, then yes it worked, but I am not well versed in Sleight of hand, yet i saw him put both oranges in.
i doubt it you would have seen it whitout youtube, sitting in the audiance ;) with all voices, and distractions, i also seen the balls, fruits getting loaded if i rewind to the part where he messes just a little to much witht them
Dude once you know what this is about you always see the performer put things in and out of the cups. Doesnt make it any worse. Great performance.
i doubt that, im not saying he did a bad job, it was a great performance indeed. but a good magican/trickster will not make it visible for you to see where excatly he puts what. especially not with the speed they tend to have with these things
THAT is an entertainer who happens to do magic.. Or is it the other way round?
AWESOME JOB!!!
Love it! Thank you so much!
"cup A or cup B"
Someone in audience: _oh..._
"O is not a cup"
blood types
Did you notice how he didn't say what the trick was going to be until after the cup was chosen. I bet if the lady picked cup B he would have said "Just like you asked I put both balls in cup B" and then done his reveal.
@@varedna damn u smart...
i love how well this matches your profile picture.
@@varedna It's just a lot let impressive when you do it and everyone already knows where the balls are.
“In show business, it’s the singer, not the song and you’re the best damn singer I’ve ever seen.”
Maybe the best C&B routine on the planet. Bravo!
Great trick, great routine... I always pop back here when I need a smile and have the blues with MS
When you know how cups and balls is done, you'd think that moments like constantly taking the balls out from the cups again and again super fast would become lame, but instead it just shows how powerful this guy's sleight of hand is. True craftsmanship, good work!
The great thing about good magic, especially sleight of hand, is that it's just as enjoyable if not more when you know how it's done.
I would recommend you to watch Paul Gertner´s appearance on Fool Us. Also cups and balls but on a different level.
That's the beauty of the balls and cups: it really is only one trick, repeated again and again and again in the same way, but you pretend like it's something different, and the way you do the same thing again but faster is super impressive all the same
The point is the amount of time that passes until he actually reveals the lemon / orange. He put them in way earlier ^^. The lemon actually almost a minute earlier. Since the lemon is really under the cup he can only do that when we actually lifted the cup the last time. Thanks to YT you can rewind and get that spot. That's why recorded performances loose alot of it's magic. Because when watching the live performance the time that passes is important. At the time he reveals the lemon you can't even remember when he lifted the cup the last time. The core of most magic tricks is that the important stuff happens at the least interesting places ^^.
Andrew Trout I like the guy,but I saw everything he done!
Great entertainer!

Oh its ninja are you still injured?
skater boi
Well if it isn't my old scooter hero...
Loved it. Brilliant
Absolute GOLD!!!
His misdirection is flawless. The audience was stunned, and so was I.
X .25 speed my freind
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of; you wouldn't get this from any other guy
@@qwertyb18 The guy is good but god! The fucking misdirection of the cameraman zooming in n out I fucking hate it
@@chingatu6644 I just wanna tell you what I'm feeling
@Ry Guy We know that dude. We don't actually think this is "real magic"
I've seen this trick done a couple of times now and I'm still baffled.
Also, the guys showmanship is great.
Yeah even if I know what to look for, all but one tiny moment are smooth even under frame-scrubbing scrutiny, so at least to my untrained eye and sensibility it seems really, really clean. It's helped by how well he responds off the cuff even though every aspect of it has to be planned.
He has a 3rd ball. So at all times he has one in his desired hand, ready to load into the cup as he places it down. Incredibly smooth sleight of hand.
It's the giant pockets he has in front
@@vincentjohnflorio you gain a deeper appreciation for it once you see where he's loading the cups and how important his hand placement is. It's just as cool if you know how it's done, and twice as cool if you can't catch the movements the first time.
Baffled? He did well, but you can actually see both the lemon (3:45) and the first orange (4:04) as he's putting them in the cups. You can figure out the others by going back and fourth, but these tricks are designed for live audiences, not re-playable video recordings. You are right that his showmanship is great.
Master of your craft!!!
After watching the video countless times I know exactly how he is doing everything he does. But it does not matter at all, his delivery is amazing. Every time I watch it I'm smiling from ear to ear and I am always amazed at how easy he makes it look. Amazing performance!
People aren’t paying for the tricks, they are paying for the show.
The show is part of the tricks, and the tricks provide a frame for the show
Said perfectly
People keep saying it was sloppy and that they could do it better, but come on. Your watching a recording of it. In real time where you can't watch it back or get a better perspective you'd rarely notice the actions.
He is an entertainer. The cup and ball trick is a century old. A lot of people know how it works. He did it with great comedy. His skills for this trick are great and especially his act.
you're*
True in real life as you're watching it the eyes aren't fast enough to catch something like that
Jack Maw the trick is not to look at the act but at the hands and you will catch it
im not going to hate when i cant do half the things he did (i can maybe hold an orange with out it falling, its a big deal) he wsa amazing and he should be happy
This man's comedy if right up my ally. Even the cheeky smiles he gives at his own jokes crack me up.
alley* sorry but I had to. And also - yes, I agree, same here.
Your presentation is prefect. Really makes the trick work.
I went to high school with him. haven't seen him since HS. Good going Chris.
Isn't it fun to suddenly see someone from long ago now doing what they love on UA-cam?
@@paulborneo7535 Yeah it is. We were in a play called The Importance of Being Earnest our senior year. i was Algernon and he was Jack. We are friends on facebook. But this is the first time i have seen him other than photos. Cool beanS Chris way to go. I went from acting to singing in a rock band. and then on into gospel music. But it is good seeing him still entertaining.
I wanna ruin the 69 likes should i?
@@jameslong8100 ok
@@danamark8211 The importance of being earnest is a cool play! seems like he took some of his comedy from it! witty and satirical!
I like boogies new career
Fat guy streotype
Underrated comment
