"I'll make the money grow, with my impromptu magic show. performing in the streets, death defying feats. people would shriek and shout, but that's what magic is all about. 'my god, is he alright?' I do this every night"- actual quote by rick lax.
Pick a number between one and five. Multiply that number by nine. Add the digits if it is one digit keep that number. Subtract five from your number. Take that number and match it to a letter: A=1 B=2 and so on. Think of the name of a country that starts with that letter. With the last letter of that country think of an animal that starts with that letter. With the last letter of that animal think of a color. I hardly believe you’ll see an orange kangaroo in Denmark.
He has one of those faces that, if he’s accused of being inappropriate with women in the work place I wouldn’t be very surprised. Edit: it’s definitely his eyes. He has piercing dead eyes that are insanely moist so he doesn’t need to blink as much
I saw that guy on tik tok. He said there was an optical illusion on screen and you had to shake your head really fast to see it but at the end he said that you looked like an idiot.
Tells his massive following he’s uploaded a visual trick they activate by shaking their head. They do so in full trust of this famous guy they’ve followed for years. He calls them an idiot because they listened to what he said on account of wanting to see an optical illusion, which ties in with a lot of what he does. YeH hes definitely not an absolute scumbag
btw the reason why you cant see its hoax and stuff or explaining how its done cuz the guy deletes and bans the comments which do so because he doesnt want the "magic" to be spoiled or some shit
He didn’t get me with the second one. I got the word seventeen, not may. I went with hamburger, he said not to because it’s too easy but I like taking the easy route.
in the third one, rick never specified that the number you were thinking of had to be the number you got after the math i was thinking of 58 and he didnt roll that
“I know you. I know what kind of person you are, and I’ll tell you but first you have to do something for me” literally what a creepy thing to say I would click off of his video. Like I’d immediately be like “no thanks I know me too I don’t need you to tell me”
omg my birthday is in July and Drew chose June and thats just a month away and its basically like he knew i was watching. and also his birthday is in October of every year...my birthday is also every year. Magic????? I think yes.
the reason there aren't any comments explaining the trick is because he instablocks anybody that does and removes their comments. I've been blocked for a long time after a "trick" he did that repeated the same 6 playing cards
I did that like 10 times on multiple videos. It was one of the top comments on one video for awhile and then he got rid of the comment. Dude is a bitch. He doesn't want people interfering with his shitty internet career of scamming people lmao
Rick Lax discovered algebra but like 4000 years later than everyone else.
It is ridiculous how many people in the comments on his videos seem to think he is some kind of genius just for his easy “magic”

@@ajwtube Huh? I was just pointing out another reason why it’s bullshit, and another way they forced people to use the word may.
@@cmm3699 they meant that instead of using a plus sign they could've just gone for the symbol that represents the word "and", so it would only be 1 "letter" (symbol), instead of three
I'm embarrassed how hard I laughed at that first kiss joke.
Me: I've never had my first kiss
only a few can relate XD
me too lmaooo
Me: had my first kiss at eleven
Drew: 23 and still hasn't had his first kiss
That is sad to think about XD
ive even had my first kiss but i always seem to forget. idek how old i was.
Man, things really went down hill for Rick after Tally hall went into hibernation, huh.
same for joe, unfortunately
If you take the current year minus your date of birth, you get your age. Crazy, right?
Woah. This changes everything
Whooooaaaa
Ralion did you know that every 60 seconds in Africa a minute passes
How did you do that?!
Why did I actually have to take a paper and a pen to do that eye-
Think of the color yellow
Add two
Subtract three
Add one
You were thinking of yellow!
Wait what, man how did you get that? Guess I gotta share👍
Woah

"I'll make the money grow, with my impromptu magic show. performing in the streets, death defying feats. people would shriek and shout, but that's what magic is all about. 'my god, is he alright?' I do this every night"- actual quote by rick lax.
I always liked Break It Down, but that line aged terrifyingly
Jokes on you rick lax, ive never been kissed.
I haven't watched the video yet, but this is the best comment
Haha yes me too thanks
so I'm not alone in feel better now
Number 9 But you've been kissed by God at age 0

How tf was this guy friends with tally hall
omg he guessed it correctly. i was thinking of a dog. so talented
He got it wrong for me... I had golden retriever and -45 I think I messed it up a little
Holy crap u too?!?!?!?
It was Dolg you big dumb idiot.
I was thinking of Top Left Dog though.
It's because he's magic.
dude this is literally basic algebra, he first one when simplified is just x+5-x smh
I’m guessing most of his viewers are American, where algebra is basic magic
@@rimurutempest4945 Me an Asian:
yeah it is magic
aka "5"
x+5-x=5
I’m offended that he said “hey guyS” plural
The Office Fangirl same
dunno why i should be offended but i am
Why are you offended?
Garrett Wojo because he usually just says “hey guy” not “hey guys” thErEs nOt mOrE thAn OnE gUy
Oh, okay then
WAIT TALLY HALL’S FIRST MANAGER IS A CON ARTIST????
why does he look at the camera like he's gonna molest it i am uncomfortable
the camera?
chloe mcconnell Rick or Drew?

i swear to gotdd i wanna kiss you
Jokes on him, I've never kissed anybody
Probably kissed dad on lips
I had my first kiss when I was 6 on my friend’s hand he left the next year...
@@Straw_berri3 u probably kissed your dad on the lips

@@anni3496 probably kiss your dad on lips too
Take your age, add 2, then subtract 2, and if you ended up with your age then you have to share the video!!!1!1111
Ghastlypigs lmao
I don't have age! Bamboozled again!!!
Ghastlypigs Woah how did you do that??? 0_o
Ghastlypigs lol
Pick a number between one and five. Multiply that number by nine. Add the digits if it is one digit keep that number. Subtract five from your number. Take that number and match it to a letter: A=1 B=2 and so on. Think of the name of a country that starts with that letter. With the last letter of that country think of an animal that starts with that letter. With the last letter of that animal think of a color. I hardly believe you’ll see an orange kangaroo in Denmark.
The start of this hits different in 2022
hits different in 2024
He has one of those faces that, if he’s accused of being inappropriate with women in the work place I wouldn’t be very surprised.
Edit: it’s definitely his eyes. He has piercing dead eyes that are insanely moist so he doesn’t need to blink as much
You know, now that you mention it...
He kind of has one of those faces where he's smiling but his eyes aren't. It's pretty creepy.
The Internet will get sexual assault out of fucking everything.
Dude looks like Paulie Shore, but Paulie Shore in the aftermath of pulling a Kevin Spacey.
@@WhaleManMan Yeah. But let's be real, I wouldn't let him within a mile of my loved ones.
he's a smart man, he realizes how stupid the world is and takes advantage of it.
Because basic math hard.
He's not smort, people are rarted
@@ambujbhaskar9288 *he no snort, beans tart
Hes not smart. Hes just an opportunist grifting pos
@@courier772 *not short he, neans fart
I saw that guy on tik tok. He said there was an optical illusion on screen and you had to shake your head really fast to see it but at the end he said that you looked like an idiot.
lmfaooo
MAAGIC
Tells his massive following he’s uploaded a visual trick they activate by shaking their head.
They do so in full trust of this famous guy they’ve followed for years.
He calls them an idiot because they listened to what he said on account of wanting to see an optical illusion, which ties in with a lot of what he does.
YeH hes definitely not an absolute scumbag
He is clearly a comedian and not meant to be taken seriously.
@@sunryzen6025 maybe he can start by being funny, and see how it works out
That intro aged creepily, terrifyingly well
Why are his eyes so moist
he's always on the verge of tears
you know what else is mOIST-
Zal Animate because he is healthy.
Moist
What the fudge!? how did you know i was thinking of dog and zero?!??!? *smashing the like button
wtfudge
nOow i hav 2 sher
*dolg*
I'll let it slide this tome
I kept messing up all of the math so I never got scammed
I can’t tell if this is good or bad...
meowzermice a man with no problems is a man with many problems
I can't do math in my head so I ended up with 2 instead of 5
I did everything correct but I got 2 too... I did December... What?

Every goddamn day I think about how Rick Lax formerly managed Tally Hall
I'm just sitting here for the first one like "wait I got 8 tho?" and then I remembered I suck at math
I somehow got 6 and was so smug.
Then I was not.
It got 10?!
leon lush got a *fraction* so don't feel too bad.
I got 7,5
Artsy 196 wait you got 8? I got 301.86%???
the amount of times he called a man “guy” and a woman a “female”. i cringed every damn time
It's an instant red flag when a guy calls a woman a female
@@JkJk-us3kx why? if u know Drew you’d realize how good of a guy he is this isn’t some misogynistic thing
@@jacobhaire4364 omg...I'm not talking about drew - im talking about that Rick Lax guy
@@jacobhaire4364 they aren't talking about Drew, only the guy he's reacting to. Drew took it upon himself to actual use the words 'girl' and 'woman'.
btw
the reason why you cant see its hoax and stuff or explaining how its done cuz the guy deletes and bans the comments which do so
because he doesnt want the "magic" to be spoiled or some shit
this "magician" talks and behaves like he's having a difficult time blending in as a human being.
Cliff racer that's what I thought. why was he filming in a cafe before?
he creeps me out
Cliff racer he is a magician he fooled pen and teller in real life
Cliff racer lmao this gave me a good chuckle I will like and share and follow your facebook page
Kinda like me on a Tuesday *finger guns*
drew is the real mind reader here, he guessed exactly what rick was gonna do
"hey guys, I'm back. and I'm ready to bitch!"
erin h me all the time
It's almost like we both watched the same exact video
erin h my new life quote
and i'm ready to _bitch_
thats why i liked the vid
no one:
rick lax: 👁👄👁
More like 👁🧠👁
Big brain time
Glad someone else thought so XD
Yuno Gasai fucking hilarious lol
Big brain
🧠
👁👄👁
Yuno Gasai your meme would’ve been fine without the nobody but you ruined it anyway.
He didn’t get me with the second one. I got the word seventeen, not may. I went with hamburger, he said not to because it’s too easy but I like taking the easy route.
Congratulations
@@howsitgoingbros3711 Hey thanks man! 😀 I feel so humbled, I just wish I had a speech
The fact that he was a coproducer for my all time favorite band is so weird 😭

I'm glad he did June
June haha
Haha same
Same.
in the third one, rick never specified that the number you were thinking of had to be the number you got after the math
i was thinking of 58 and he didnt roll that
d w you beat the system
Ally C lmao wut
@@alyssachantaychampagne2773 is that some type of food?
Yeah I got 2
same here this god damn idiot cant even roll the numbers i was thinking about what a fucking moron
“I know you. I know what kind of person you are, and I’ll tell you but first you have to do something for me” literally what a creepy thing to say I would click off of his video. Like I’d immediately be like “no thanks I know me too I don’t need you to tell me”
I'm so bad at math that this guy can't reach me. I'm immune.
omg my birthday is in July and Drew chose June and thats just a month away and its basically like he knew i was watching. and also his birthday is in October of every year...my birthday is also every year. Magic????? I think yes.
Mine is November.
My birthday's also in July... Conspiracy theory?
Mine is June 🤣
😂😂😂
omg he knew i was watching too! i was born in june😂❤️🎄😭😕🇾🇪🎄🇾🇪🤠🤭🤔🤫🤡🔥🔥
its 1am and im drunk and rick lax sounds like relax thanks for coming to my tedtalk
Go home Anna Small you're drunk, UA-cam is there too
Good God Anna
I would totally watch drunk TED talks
come on anna not again
Rick Lax: Pick a number subtract 2, add 2, was your number the same as your number as the beginning, well now you have to follow and share hehe
Rick Lax sounds like a laxative brand.
He gives the illusion of choice in its most basic form. I cant believe so many people fall for it though.
The Golden Nugget Because people are idiots
The Golden Nugget if he did this on 4chan or reddit he would get beat up for such stupid shit. kids use facebook for entertainment
If he did this on 4chan or reddit he would be told to continue for such amusing shit. Humans use anything for entertainment.
honestly that means he would become a shit tier meme. thats death in its own way
Ok.
the reason there aren't any comments explaining the trick is because he instablocks anybody that does and removes their comments. I've been blocked for a long time after a "trick" he did that repeated the same 6 playing cards
I did that like 10 times on multiple videos. It was one of the top comments on one video for awhile and then he got rid of the comment. Dude is a bitch. He doesn't want people interfering with his shitty internet career of scamming people lmao
What’s terrifying is that the intro not only makes sense but works even better in 2022 than it did 2020 than it did in 2017
Rick Lax Has To Chil Lax

Apparently algebra = magic.
Ella Jameson apparently normal maths=algebra
I suck at math so to me it basically is, but this is just retarded
What kind of baby ass algebra are you doing if you can compare it to this
“Pick a number, now remove that number”😱😱
