This spot was filmed in 2021 when our show aired. Don't care how you feel about Ellen tbh, the magic is all I care about lol. So proud of how we did this.
That cut to commercial was brutal. Up until now I thought you'd just moved things around during the break. Always interesting to see you guys do tricks together and even better to see the behind the scenes.
Super well done - what an interesting challenge to do a magic trick live through video while actively having to dispel the assumptions of something being pre recorded. Awesome job!
Whether or not i can figure out how the tricks are done is meaningless to me. As you keep showing us, the performance is the true skill, my opinion. I love when all four of you are preforming together. You all have such chemistry together. Pure fun! Good times i can watch again and again.
Bravo. The reveal showing the execution is as impressive as the original. The one thing I noticed before explaining the backdrop was the coins were not on your(Chris) side of the table, but makes sense after the fact. Very cool, the amount of thought & prep, right down to the sourcing, that went into this is perhaps underrated, by some?
@@autodidact7127 she smiles on screen but insults and mistreat people who work under her she's a tyrant and she went as far as blaming them publicly, until people started bringing proofs of her bad behavior, her apology was again blaming them as if "they deserved it" she's like all those hosts a bad person irl, once this surfaced in the heavily censored media her career took a pretty big hit
Great performance and I love how proud you all are of each other. Being on Ellen is huge, regardless of how people feel about her, and you guys hit it out the park. Well done :)
I feel like this video closed an important loop. We saw the other behind the scenes explanations for Big Trick and now we know how you guys pulled off your Ellen performance. Thanks!
Wow. Really happy for you guys. Love Ellen and great job!! Very funny loved the absurdity of the buckets and the alien ninjas. Super. Obviously Ellen loved it!
Oh man the second you mentioned having to go to commercial right then, I realized the final trick wouldn't play and that made me so sad 😭 I hadn't even noticed and it would have been an incredible trick!
Been a fan for a while...but seeing Joshua Foer's Moonwalking with Einstein takes my appreciate for you to a new level. Excellent book! It's actually a book I recommend to my preaching students (yep).
very well done considering the situation you guys were in, and the complexity of having to do that over a zoom call were anything could go wrong at any moment.
when this popped up on my recommended i had to go watch it before I watched this.....I was right about how you guys did all the tricks except the end one.....never would of guessed that it was a literal camera trick....great job guys
How’s it going guys? Awsome trick !! All the work you guys put in on that trick really paid off in the end result. Incredible! I’m sure none of you will ever forget this experience. Thanks for sharing this. Take care guys.
Great stuff as always....I know hindsight is 20/20 but maybe once you knew they were going to go to commercial you could have said something like, "Before we go it's important for the audience to know we're going to stay on camera this whole time and Ellen can corroborate when we return" or something like that...anyway, thanks for the reveals!
I was secretly hoping Wes would tear a phone book in half, toss a bunch of torn pages into the air, and throw the knife to have it impale a 10 of spades somehow.
When you can lose it all so quickly... that is scary, stressful and depressing. You are talented and I love your magic... I haven't seen your videos lately being "advertised"... but the burnt out feeling we all have. But that doesn't make your feelings any less significant. I say if you can delegate out video creations to your friends. Make bigger and better videos for yourself but the quicker, easier vids can go to your friend(s) who also wants a breakout chance. (Yes I might be talking about myself 😅 But someone else is okay too lol) I wish you luck, get rest and stay healthy
I was thinking maybe when Wes was off stage they set up a board with all the same card then when off camera they wrote the card name then when the state was chosen somebody handed them the quarter. I don’t know about TV magic, it’s like my kid saying ‘close your eyes’.
Great trick. But seeing Twitch gave me a little sad. RIP, man. Will there be another season of Big Trick Energy? Really enjoyed the heck out of the show.
Oh you guys are just the best and how comfortable you all are with each other just makes for a great show. How amazing to be on The Ellen Show and so well deserved. I love watching you guys in all you do and heres to much much more for you all 💙💙💙💙💙💙
My first thought is you have a board for every card and a coin for every state. Most tv magic is good for agt judges and people like Ellen but obvious for those who know magic
Could you imagine this with a stage setting? ‘Name a card, now that you’ve named it we will bring out from off stage a giant playing card and it’s the card you picked! And while we do that the rest of us will walk off stage. And when we come back your card will be written on a piece of paper we brought back? How did we do that? I not saying magic is real, but is it?’ I feel like I’m sounding like a hater, I’m really not trying to. But going off camera during a magic trick feels like my kid telling me to close my eyes. I get that TV magic often forces angles that are difficult to impossible live, but openly and obviously forcing blindness makes for a pretty meh trick. And I’d assume close to 100% of viewers thought at least - I bet he did something off camera.
One thing that would've made this even more interesting is if they didn't cut to a different camera for the knife throw, and instead just panned the main camera over to the board. And if there wasn't a commercial break, I doubt anyone would've noticed the camera quickly panning to the opposite side of the room with the fake background. Still an awesome concept, I love it!
@@katlis True. As they showed they didn’t even have a film crew, just cameras on boxes. Just keeping it a single shot would have greatly improved the trick, even if the board wasn’t always in frame, at least it would’ve provided an opportunity for a false memory. But with the camera cut the explanation on how they did it could be anything, literally anything. Proving it was live only eliminated one of an infinite number of other possibilities. Again, not hating, I get they were limited by lack of a camera crew and this was totally homemade. But still…
This spot was filmed in 2021 when our show aired. Don't care how you feel about Ellen tbh, the magic is all I care about lol. So proud of how we did this.
Nobody cares about Ellen now lol, I love the magic, great illusion of choice and amazing layout!
Fooled her so hard she went completely off the air
I would see if you guys could do a show near Detroit
Well done boyz! I didn't notice the background swap out! Make that 💸
Talk yo shit ❤️ ain't nobody got time for wierdos 😂
It feels like this whole video was to explain how cool their last trick would've been had they not cut to commercial. Phenomenal guys!
That cut to commercial was brutal. Up until now I thought you'd just moved things around during the break. Always interesting to see you guys do tricks together and even better to see the behind the scenes.
Agreed. THE worst thing that could have happened. Amazing set! it's amazing to see what trained minds can come up with.
@@Aracore i hope ellen felt bad
but im sure she didnt lol
I feel like Chris and I got suckered into doing all the hard magic 😂
Never underestimate the amount of decks a magician's willing to waste for a trick, or the prep work they're willing to do. That stuff is Batman-level.
lol bang on
Man, sometimes the method is so simple yet so clever...I love this stuff! Thank you guys for entertaining us!
You bet!
Super well done - what an interesting challenge to do a magic trick live through video while actively having to dispel the assumptions of something being pre recorded. Awesome job!
Thanks so much!
I’m not sure which was more entertaining … the aired bit or this behind the scenes look. Great stuff!

Ellen fooled all of us
She's evil.
How?
Yea how? Because she puts a love all people on camera but is i terrible people who work for her?

🤣🤣🤣🤣
I gotta know where Wes got that shirt! Lol loved the trick. You guys are awesome.
Coming to 1st.shop soon!
This was great 2 years ago and even greater watching the explanation behind the scenes. World Class Magic.
Bravo gentleman👏👏👏 that was brilliant!!! I even shared it with 3 friends❤
Great performance and I love how proud you all are of each other. Being on Ellen is huge, regardless of how people feel about her, and you guys hit it out the park. Well done :)
This is dope. Especially the reveal at the end and finding out it was a fake background way before you realize it.
16:34 - barely hidden panic 🤣🤣
I feel like this video closed an important loop. We saw the other behind the scenes explanations for Big Trick and now we know how you guys pulled off your Ellen performance. Thanks!
wow, well done guys. Thanks for showing us this, it's awesome to see behind scenes. Congrats on your fame and success Chris, you deserve it sir!
this is brilliant 🤩
It’s sooooo annoying with that add break but I still think that this is one of the best zoom tricks I have ever seen 🔥🔥🔥
That was brilliant! It is fantastic to also see how much goes into all of the tricks. I love it!
Thank you! Cheers!
the reveal is more impressive than the trick! hats off to you and the team
This has big "the masked magician" energy (pun intended) It is so clever!
What's the pun?
The show that their were promoting on Ellen is called Big Trick Energy.
I didn’t notice the background change at allllllll! So good!
Wow. Really happy for you guys. Love Ellen and great job!! Very funny loved the absurdity of the buckets and the alien ninjas. Super. Obviously Ellen loved it!
This is one of the best most creative channels on YT. My hats off to you Chris.
You guys knocked it out of the park with this one, a damn shame they made you wait during a break though.
Darn tricksters. 😂 Fooled me when I watched it live.
The rabbit head in the background!😂
Props to Wes. Throwing a knife under pressure really isnt easy. Ive noticed that the more stressed I am, the harder it is to not mess the release
Great job, guys. You pulled it off without a hitch. When's the road trip to Illinois?
Good question!
Oh man the second you mentioned having to go to commercial right then, I realized the final trick wouldn't play and that made me so sad 😭 I hadn't even noticed and it would have been an incredible trick!
You guys are the bomb. Great chemistry and magic.
Been a fan for a while...but seeing Joshua Foer's Moonwalking with Einstein takes my appreciate for you to a new level. Excellent book! It's actually a book I recommend to my preaching students (yep).
Imagine having to go on daytime tv to promote your stuff. Sounds soul crushing
Worse things in life 🤷♂️
Imagine having to comment shit like this on a very successful YT channel to make yourself feel better. Sounds soul crushing
@@cam5556 imagine thinking I was being ugly and white knighting lol.
@@kingyames what does “imagine thinking I was being ugly” mean?
@@kingyames oh wait you weren’t shitting on him? I thought you were saying he sold out by going on TV. MB bro
I remember this and it was so great! thanks for y'all doing it!!!!!!!!
Super cool breakdown and also really appreciate you allowing us to see the relatable nerves and jitters!
Loved when you and Wes reveal these things together
This was really good! Super fun, well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
very well done considering the situation you guys were in, and the complexity of having to do that over a zoom call were anything could go wrong at any moment.
You guys never cease to amaze me. Great sequence of magic tricks.
This is just too cool to see how you guys actually did that BRAVO!
Nice work guys! So cool you got to do that, and so clever with the tricks! Thanks for giving us a peek behind the scenes!
Really well done! You’re right if there was no commercial it would have been a epic gag!
This trick is insane, it's so simple and yet so stricking, you did a really great job!!
That was OUTSTANDING!!! Great performance guys!
Hahahaha ! 14:18 I'm pretty sure the guy who brings the map is Justin Bieber ?
Well done as always!
I miss your tv show.
Loved how you showed it all and I was impressed congrats guys 🎉
Crazy you guys came up with that in a WEEK! Agreed, that commercial break timing sucked... but the overall LIVE performance was pretty fucking great.
This is amazing. I can't wait trying this trick @home, thanks for this genius tutorial 😂😂Amazing Live performance, love it!!!
I haven't even seen that commercial, but I'm already hating it. 😆
RIP Twitch. Excellent work on the trick and production!
I thought that background looked a little funky after the card trick. Nice work lads.
when this popped up on my recommended i had to go watch it before I watched this.....I was right about how you guys did all the tricks except the end one.....never would of guessed that it was a literal camera trick....great job guys
How’s it going guys? Awsome trick !! All the work you guys put in on that trick really paid off in the end result. Incredible! I’m sure none of you will ever forget this experience. Thanks for sharing this. Take care guys.
Awesome video! 👍 I still can't believe that Twitch is gone. R.I.P. 😕

Weird the number of views since your video is epic and you have 7million subscribers
You guys are freakin’ awesome! Superb!!

Well done gents. Very well done, lovit!
That was awesome ! Now you have to reveal how you fooled Pat McAfee 😄
This was great. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Wes, where did you get that shirt? It's dope!
Why does Ellen DeGeneres hate Mentalism?
“Look into my eyes.”
True showman ship. Excellent work
Thanks!
Really enjoyed this more than the original show (esp the close up reveals on expressions).
Any final words ? N0. that's perfect !
thanks for sharing the trick guys!! super cool
Great stuff guys! So much fun!
Where did Wes get that sweet t-shirt. Hes worn it in other videos too and I want one!
Congrats gents! Amazing job.
This was great seeing the ideas behind a magic set
Don't be sad Chris, I'm checking out the videos I missed.
Very creative. Love the backdrop trick.
That was really cool! Your brains amaze me.
Love you guys, great trick, but omg your background sound makes me want to dig my brain out with rusty spoons.
Awesome video guys!
Wes my guy, where did you get that shirt?!?!
1st.shop coming soon!
@@ChrisRamsay52 any way for biger guys to special order larger sizes? been wanting a 1st shirt for years
you guys would not have been able to do that at your old studio! kudos!
There are tricks that only wiork on zoom then there is this! 😅
I was thinking maybe when Wes was off stage they set up a board with all the same card then when off camera they wrote the card name then when the state was chosen somebody handed them the quarter.
I don’t know about TV magic, it’s like my kid saying ‘close your eyes’.
When’s the series getting picked up for season 2
Just wanna let you know, your video showed up in my home feed for the first time in a very long time. I hope you’re doing well 🤍
you have and will always be a true wizard of all types of magic!
The earth is totally round.
RIP Twitch
Great trick. But seeing Twitch gave me a little sad. RIP, man. Will there be another season of Big Trick Energy? Really enjoyed the heck out of the show.

Where's the link to the og video?
Great performance everybody! My only question is, how hard was it to find a quarter with each state written on one?
Why does Ellen look extremely uncomfortable and annoyed? And super red.
Will there be a Big Trick Energy Season 2?
how can i get that UFO tshirt?, it is so good
Soon at 1st.shop
