possibly using a thumb tip for some vanishes, but could have been edited so not so obvious...
Thank you so much for giving me a heart...
I rly appreciate it and it makes me happy that you care about your community.
It also was about 2:35am here in Germany so I was happy to find new content that kept me from falling asleep.
Just FYI...
In all of your videos, you and I lock eyes at the same moments!
Almost every time that I look at your reaction frame, you look into your camera simultaneously ❣️
It’s like _~•*Magic*•~_
Yeah. I’m buying his book. That shit was amazing dude.
This reminded me of Yann friche performance with sponge balls
Thank you very much for commenting and sharing my performance.
I'm glad you like my magic.
Indeed the routine is a variation of the classic Roy Benson Bowl, and the Always 3. And as you say there are many ideas and techniques inspired by magic with coins and cups and balls routines.
We are working on translating the book into English as soon as possible. And on October 20 I will release a new DVD where you can study the techniques I use and my reflections on the classic sponges.
Thanks and I hope meet you soon ;-)
Anybody who has the nerve to even ATTEMPT to impress with sponge balls has BIG BALLS, and you pulled it off magnificently. I could only figure out about 25% of what you were doing, which made the act incredibly enjoyable.
Hey Xulio! Really great news to hear about the English version of the book and the DVD. Thanks for your kind comment, and I would very much enjoy meeting you too sometime :)
This routine was amazing for audiences and also amazing for magicians. Because as magician you can maybe spot stuff on the first look and are amazed how clean it is and you get “hit in the face” and fooled by the rest.
Senior Merino, you've got a lot of balls to always have three. Very impressive routine. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I always only have two!!! You're fantastic!
I thought Xulio was a big guy...and then he hugged Penn.
For you
You're one of the only people who react with knowledge, yet without being a cocky ruinator about. Really enjoy the content.

Agree, I have an enormous respect for his reviews of magic performances and his personal skill as an on air talent.
Hey thanks so much both of you!! :) It's really nice to get positive feedback like this... not to mention it helps me forget about the crazy hate comments I receive sometimes 😂
Yes! This is why I'm enjoying these videos
I like 90% of the magicians that appear on the show (some more than others), but something that I really liked about Xulio's presentation is that, even after it ended, his act continues, something that I don't remember seeing with others magicians.
Impossibly clean and amazing. It's almost insulting to call it sponge ball magic when it's elevated to this level.
Agreed. I Just assumed the sponge would be in the other hand, but then he would open his hand showing that he wasn't palming it. One of the best tricks I have ever seen.
I love how Teller just enjoys the show. Smiles, and wonders. 😀
Layman: “I caught 10% of this- he didn’t fool me.”
Magician: “I missed 10% of this- he fooled me!”
Yes, if laymen see a SINGLE thing, usually THE MAGIC OF A RUTINE IS GONE. That's why it's important to fool 100% of the rutine.
@@JoseSanchez-yo2co ya it's important to induce complete astonishment, if people start to doubt even a bit "the magic" is lost.
The amount of practice to be able to pull off the move at 5:50 - 6:00 must be astounding.
I love so much that he took beginner magic and made it full on master magic
Yeah! it's cool too realize that something old and familiar can be dusted off and have new life breathed into it.... I guess if you are dedicated and work hard enough you can really accomplish more than other people think is even possible. I feel like he really pushed the boundaries on sponge magic, especially with that fast shooting move he did... which I almost didn't even catch the first time. That was really incredible. And also, hope your week is going well Billy! :)
@@JasonParkerMagic going great, thank you! Hope yours is too
As bruce lee said.
Fear not the man who has practiced a thousand kicks.
Fear the man who has practiced one kick a thousand times.
As a magician point of view, there are a lot of new techniques in his sponge ball magic!!!! It is so damn good!🎩
Sophisticated spongeologist
@@thatonemagicianwesaw8754 yes. It is too strong. Even though you know it's only sponge balls.
Yeah for sure! It was a real treat for me to see so many new things. Especially THAT ONE THING... I don't really wanna say exactly but he quickly sends a sponge ball SO FAST... you almost can't even see it. Such a bold move, which could potentially go wrong. I don't know exactly how he ejected it so quickly, but... anyway.... hats off to him! And thanks for your comment, cool to hear from another magician! :)
@@JasonParkerMagic yeah, I know what you mean. Hahahah! Anyway, so happy to see some new stuff from Xulio.
There was a lot of coin magic but new techniques? But yes really good! :-)
12:02 Teller quietly eats a sponge ball. Showoff.
it is was one the easiest tricks out there but yeah that was funny
@@darkorlightz lair! I tried following instructions got it stuck in foreskin you said it was easy!!!
When Xulio said that he had developed his own technique, I knew he was going to fool them. Unless they've read his book... which they obviously haven't.:-)
I think this was the first time I've witnessed you pausing to say wow. I was also blown away by his routine and am interested in sponge ball magic now
His HPC move with sponge ball is super impressive. And about that last vanish you were fooled also, even after watching it multiple times, nothing to see. Thats how vanish of a small object should look like.
If you watch it in slow-mo, you STILL can't see anything... like, you can get an idea of what he's doing, but you can't actually catch real evidence of it. Sublime performance.
When people say something is old and tired, all I hear is, "I'm not creative enough to make it interesting."
@@johncoops6897 Reaction videos are insanely popular. For comedians, for music, TV Shows, movies, trailers, and now I guess for Magic.
Sleight of hand and mis direction, he’s good at both.
You're freaking awesome Xulio. I've always enjoyed how you put on a show, no matter what. You've always been proud of your magic and this is the result on that sensitive spirit of yours. From far and beyond! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
This guy is awesome. Mad props because this routine is sick! I saw the amazing vanish but it was so fast and timed perfect that it was completely seamless, and no pun intended the move he did was ballzy!
Jason, you're the Shin Lim of Magic Reaction on UA-cam. Thanks for all the hard work you do!
Cactyys Totem Entertainment, LLC 😆 thanks!

As a spectator, I think the core of witnessing magic is supposed to be something beautiful and full of wonder. Magic, in a way, is supposed to take us back to when we were kids when the world was this wonderful place full of the impossible being possible. And in saying that, Xulio (as well as many others) takes us back to those moments. His act as the average, clumsy guy with a funny little problem was beautiful and fun to witness. In that moment, the impossible seemed possible. Penn & Teller were right for not trying to debunking it.
I really liked that. Even though we know it's all sleight of hand, he does 99% of it 100% cleanly. A pleasure to watch.
5:55 this slight of hands is just insane. He throws out the ball sponge from his left and and pushes it to the table with his right hand.
And at 4:25 this last ball... how does he push it into the other hand. Just amazing.
OMG I see it now!
flawless - pen and tellers appreciation always brings a lump to my throat - bravo
When the guy is "pulling up his sleeves" he's placing and taking the balls from the fold in his sleeve.
Thank you thank you
Is it me or does this guy REALLY look like post malone 😂
Damn I was gonna say the same, he does look like Post Malone maybe he has a twins!!
More like Bill Malone
Yes he does.
what about Ivan Perišić a Croatian professional footballer who plays for Inter Milan
his younger brother
One thing I learned from Fool Us is that Spanish Magician are the best slight of hand artists in the world.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I really enjoy watching these videos along with you. Much appreciated.
Welcome back, i was waiting for your video :) Great as always, Big fan!
Thanks 4bit! I recognize your name now , thanks for always commenting! :)
@@JasonParkerMagic You really deserve it Jason, keep up the great work
This Xulio is a Machine! He give all old head madigicians that child-like feeling of seeing magic for the first time!
I followed a lot of what he was doing......and then NONE of what he was doing. Wow! Thank you for these. I don’t even watch the originals anymore.
Wow that's a pleasure to hear, thank you!! :)
Great video. His performance is wonderful and your reaction/description of it is clean and articulate. Really enjoyed it.
thank you! :)
5:55 Please watch i 0.25 speed and warch that move! that was quick!
i cant see even in slow motion what happened. maybe it was edited?
Thanks, I was able to see it come from his left hand in slow mo...then I watched it in full speed and was blown away at how clean that was! Amazing.
@@otaldobullet He Basically shot it out of the left as the right was coming down
Just wow
Now that I know what to look for, I can actually see it in real-time. Still, very impressive!
Fantastic performance, I might have to break my sponges out again LOL
Beautifully done. Very skillful and funny too! Thanks for the upload. :)
This was an amazing performance. Fooling Penn and Teller with sponge ball magic would be right up there with fooling them with the 'cups and balls' or 'linking rings'. The sleight of hand in this was amazing as it had to be. I mean he was using the easiest magic prop there is to do that sort of thing with and they still couldn't figure it out and they know sleight of hand better than just about anyone. I think the fact he was using sponge balls actually helped. I've seen them bust some magicians doing absolutely amazing card sleight of hand simply because they know the moves. Nobody works that hard to do the same with sponge balls....except Xulio.
Jason loved your trick and also the sponge and balls was awesome too thanks
That was truly amazing 😍😍😍❤❤❤
I have spent literally spent years developing a perfect coin or card sleight, but by far the trick that gets the most reaction from lay people is the sponge balls. Non-magicians LOVE sponge balls. Never ceases to amaze me the reactions you get!
I love Sponge Balls. And I've done a lot of routines. THIS guy, damn!!! I caught a few things here and there, but the single hand vanishes are so amazing.
Literally the best video reactor ever on UA-cam for real you have a real talent much love ❤️
Thanks for your super kind words :)
Great review! Its so calm to watch your reaction even to see you talk. Auto subscribed! Glad i found your page
thanks very much! :)
I enjoyed Xulio's performance. Great job in evaluating his magic. That is so cool.
this was hilarious lmao one of my favorites so far haha
Love it at 5:59 that slight of hand grabbing the 3rd one with his pinky and palming it was almost impossible to see. What a fanastic act!
You’re awesome Jason!!! 😍🙌🏽
I actually saw xulio in a private session, and i he explained the vanish move. I can saw this thing is insane and the theory there is not only for Spong balls.
Even after knowing the move, it was invisible. I think its one of the move i saw and impressed me the most in the last couple years.
Xulio is really a GOAT when it comes to spong balls. He is amazing (and a great teacher)
I love sponge balls. I love to watch them, and I love to perform them. I’m so glad to see them receive their due.
his reaction videos are the best... plays the video and says idk how they did it.. great reaction.. keep it on
Very entertaining act with something so basic...the sponge ball! I was totally blown away by his performance.
He deserves that “fooler trophy” if i may say.
Although like you, i also have seen a lot that would fool someone who has little to no idea about sponge magic. I love the flick of his index and his sleeve adjustment so audience have a better view of what he was doing (😉)
Even Penn explained this “stuff” in a way only magic practitioners would understand. In fact he mentioned the word 5 times.
So, as a final verdict. He is so far the best i’ve seen with sponges. Penn and Teller can simply say they were not fooled but because he was sooooo smooth, they said they were fooled.
Mannnn, he is good!!!
The GOAT of sponge magic!!!
I believe Penn and Teller when they say they were fooled. There were moves I'm sure they caught, but then there was whatever happened at 4:20 that is so unbelievably clean I still can't figure out what happened after watching it 10 times.
So clean!
Just amazing !! So happy he fooled them.
your pre-performance trick:
That is a very, VERY good doublelift and overall great cardistry. huge props
Bro, as always, I love your videos 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
thank yoooou! :)
lot of good points here what a beautiful trick. He starts with balls in both hands and stay like that most of the time. He's got balls inbetween his hand and the bowl at the start. Then the remainder are loaded in/out of sleeves.
I dont think ive ever seen a trick on the dl like that before with just one hand. Thats awesome
5:20 So how does something disappear MORE? LOL
That ending was a lot of fun.
I'm not surprised he fooled them, after all he literally wrote the book on sponge ball magic.
I love the magic tricks at the beginning of the videos, you should do one in every video.
He has 4 balls the for the majority of the act and that sleight of hand is AMAZING, almost imperceptible. What gives it away (a little) is how quickly he reaches for the wooden pestle.
Some of the best side of hand I've ever seen and I enjoy the SpongeBobs he's very good!!!
Been doing magic for 1 year .. i remember watching this reaction.. i was way more impressed by him then .. am happy i understand about 60% of what he did..and i think you and I were fooled in the same time.
Even though you know what he is doing, you can't see it on most of his movements. When he goes to the left hand, that was outstanding. The most clean I have seen with sponge balls.
The trick you perform at the start is amazing!
Xulio was such a pleasure to watch.
His sleight-of-hand is extraordinary.
Need to see more of this great artist; and with a winning personality to boot.
Agreed! But I got the bonus! Was watching this episode from another channel mirroring Fool Us, that video ended-put my phone down for a sec as I was thinkin how good it was-picked my phone up again-and the first video I saw was THIS one(!), it looked interesting-I'm tired as hell, so wasn't really reading the title-thought maybe it was one of those magic "how they did it" kinda vids-but I liked Xulio so much, I jus WANTED to watch him again. To my surprise, I have now found one of THE BEST channels I've come across in YEARS! How COOL are you Jason? I loved watching THIS video, a lil bit MORE because of the way you did it. Pleasantly surprised to end my night with a smile, when I saw the WEALTH of videos that you made and KNOW I'm gona enjoy watchin each and every one of them! 👍😊
slomotion reveils totally mindblowing synchronisation of his movements!
there is nothing better than a performance like this which makes me sit here grinning like the Cheshire Cat :D :D :D Love it and love you channel Jason, top stuff mate ;)
Forest Lake thanks very much :)
I really loved this reaction! awesome video!
thank you! :)
Impressive cardistry at the beginning! Fun to watch people that are well practiced in a certain craft.
Yes, exactly. And any craft. Cardistry. Magic. Juggling. Cake decorating. Brick laying. To watch someone make something (anything) look so effortless, when you know your own attempt would resemble that of a drunken monkey.
On 5:57 you can kinda see a glance of him dropping the ball from his other hand, but its still really clean
I had to watch that 4 times to see it. Wow.
Luv your move putting the card into the mid deck, especially after how many times we see it “lost in the deck” lol.
The shin lim of spongeballs that's very powerful 😍😍😍 I can watch him just do spongeball magic it's better than the original typical spongeball routine
The way he disappears the single ball is easy to identify. he has a small retractable string in his coat pocket every time he fixes his sleeves he is actually resetting it on his thumb, look for the slight moving of his digits in his fist he is rolling up the sponge with the cord around it so it retracts into his sleeve well.
That ball drop is so nice!! One Two!! Always go on two!!
That double lift was sweet! Super cool.
14:46
Guys! Don't worry!!
They'll just travel back in time, undo his snap and return him back to reality!
When he rolled up his sleeve he retrieved a ball from the crease in this sleeve.
Literally, the only thing I could see him do, was hide some sponges as he rolled up his sleeves. How the rest of his act worked, no idea. Loved it. Rather, I should say not inside his sleeves, but rather inside of the folds of his sleeves as he rolled them up.
This finale gives away that the balls can be squashed really small (as most people know). Still can’t wrap my mind around the vanishing ball in one hand. Sick
Great comparison to the cups and balls routine. I watched this the first time thinking that.
Very good routine.
"Shin Lim of spongeballs" that's hilarious 😂
You can see him drop the ball with his left hand while making it look like he’s dropping it with his right
Jason I so agree with you, he was magnificent. I always use sponge balls it never gets old. It's a classic. I would like to learn his moves and add it to my repuitore for sure. Thank you for sharing. . .
Glad you had such complimentary remarks.
this guy is the shin lim of them as dang he was like wow he was not human at sponge balls and shapes
I really love acts where the magician "lose control" of his/her power (not just false reveal but this kind of excessive production ^^) and Xulio's sponge is tied with Mario Lopez's salt on my top
Most of this was easy to follow because you know what has to be happening but especially with the ability to re-watch it over and over. However that first left hand vanish WTFK and what he did at 5:57 was incredible. I had to watch it a dozen time to make sure that I believed what I was seeing. Sooooo incredibly smooth.
He just drops it out of his left hand at 5:57
C G I’ve watched it a dozen times and Im pretty sure he’s not dropping it. I think in the brief second he moved his hands past each other he transferred the ball from his left to right hand to make it appear. I see why you say he dropped it but to me it looked more like a transfer it was so incredibly smooth.
@@01srob if you you slow it down to .25 speed you can see him drop it. He actually “throws” it kind of. It’s only 1 frame that shows the ball. And the one right before that he throws the ball into his right hand as he grabs his wand. That on is so fast it’s not in a frame and I’m only assuming he did so because you can’t see it it’s so fast
That vanish was SICK
Loved the trick at the beginning. I think i know how its done but i still cant seem to do it 🤣. Good job!
Xulio was such a fun performance and watch!
Such a nice guy, well deserved
now thats the magic trick i have been waiting for
:))))
I was waiting for some fables or lessons.. Still always amazing to watch ur videos master jason
thanks! I figure I'll do either a magic trick or a fable :) So next time should be a fable for sure !
@@JasonParkerMagic thanks master jason. If u ever come here in the Philippines hope u do some magic
Excellent routine ! So very different from what we usually see on FU. No one uses sponge balls for some reason, and much like the loathed “linking rings”, they get a bad rap. I really like sponge balls and after this, I love them ! I don’t care how he did it and don’t really want to know. This was magical and I Loved it ! Thanks for sharing ! 🎭
LMAO MIND BLOWN
He was so soft spoken but in the END IT WAS AMAZING
Awesome card trick at the start btw, and that really was a good routine, the ball literally vanished in his hand, great routine
thanks! and agree! :)
The card trick at the beginning with the 8 of diamonds was really well done. I watched it twice at 0.25 speed and could not see what you did. Very clean!
mediamannaman hey thanks very much! :)
@@JasonParkerMagic When the 8 was turned over, a tiny bit of it was shown (but was not sure at first, may be the color that caught me). But it was very clean indeed!
im two years late but i believe he picks up two cards and puts the 8 as the second card and thats why you cant see the top card when he puts it in the middle
im two years late but i believe he picks up two cards and puts the 8 as the second card and thats why you cant see the top card when he puts it in the middle
The vanish he does at 4:24 is sooooo sick. Talk about balls. And I don’t mean his sponge balls.
he is droping the sponge ball really sneaky..
Yeah watching this routine in slow mo was wicked
