  • How about you and I play a friendly game of Blackjack while I teach you how to play? This video is meant for ASMR and relaxation while also serving as a Tutorial. There's card shuffling, countdown, unboxing, gum chewing and lip smacking, whispering and more.
    You'll learn the basics of playing Blackjack including how to double down and when to hit or stand.
    This video is not meant to support or promote gambling in any way. I recommend anyone with a gambling problem contact a support group.

    The man has mastered his craft. You can tell he moves quickly in real life based on ephemradio, casual spoken videos, and his older work, but he has learned to move very intentionally and carefully. There are a million little ways I could analyze the refinement in his craft, but I don't feel like writing an essay in the comments. Uncle E, if you're reading this, as a viewer that's been around so long I can't remeber the password to the first account I subbed to you with, thank you.

    Could even be a collaboration video with other creators.

    WHAT?! lol. Misophonia literally translates to 'the hatred of sound'. Yea sure the gum chewing will bother them, just like locking yourself in a coffin will bother you if you have claustrophobia....wanna bet no claustrophobic has ever locked themselves in a coffin? ASMR is not for people who hate sounds.

    • @Shack11
      @Shack11 10 років тому

      *Well*, view it like ASMR(as misophonia is practically the opposite); it has triggers, too, and chewing seems to be a big trigger.

    • @joanp9791
      @joanp9791 10 років тому

      I think it's possible to have misophonia and ASMR. If you're sensitive to sounds, it could work both ways - you could find certain sounds intensely relaxing, and then other sounds make you want blow out your eardrums. I have to physically stop someone from clicking their pen next to me or move away from people chewing gum, but watching ASMR is also really relaxing for me.

    • @clydeyello
      @clydeyello 10 років тому

      Not all ASMR triggers are also misophonia triggers: chewing gum seems to be a trigger for both, unluckily.

    Where did you purchase the chip set? This video suddenly got me back into a mood of playing cards.

    this was really nice. youre the first male asmrer ive seen because i didn't think i would like videos from guys but you did a great job. also i liked the original idea, havent seen a vid like this before but cards make a lovely sound. i only wish you knew how to do that "whoosh" thing after shuffling.

    Excellent video! I agree with Antrix32; you're very good at these sorts of things. The small things in particular, they may be small but they sure as hell add up.
