Just wanted to let you know that as a magician that first learned magic on UA-cam I just wanted to thank you for everything
Amen to that
Big Brain Time:
From today on I’ll be commenting *Video starts at **00:00* to help you channel
you know what man ironically this talk is one of your best videos so far in my opinion! really great to just see you on camera with your thoughts and who you are RAW! Big Love man!
🤗
Don’t know where to start other than to say thank you. Learned so much and agree with everything you had to say. I am 73 years old and started learning card tricks to share with family and friends as a past time. Your channel is also about more than card Tricks which is even more valuable to me. You have become my favourite go to channel because you have so much to offer. You are a special human being who has given so much to me. Thank you again and I will look for ways to give you and your channel my support.
I couldn't agree more Martin. like you, I'm an older amateur, although i've been doing it for most of my life. if the character of the teacher matters as much to you as the material he's teaching, I suggest that get any books you can find by a wonderful older magician named Mike Close. he's got some books called 'the workers series' (or something like that). fantastic magic taught by a good solid guy that could have been spidey's grandpa. the stuff in his books is a lot harder than what spidey teaches, but within the grasp of any amateur - even those with lousy sleight of hand. he's got this wonderful origami trick called 'the imagination tester.' it may take you a few hours to figure out and construct, but it is not hard to perform and so amazing to those who see it. ...sorry for rambling...my main point is that Mike Close is similar to spidey in many good ways and you might like this guy.
@@Laurencetw Thank you for taking the time to comment. I found Mike Close on UA-cam and will follow his videos based on what I have seen. Thanks again.
😀
Another big problem is that a lot of the times, people don’t even know that they are hurting the channel.
UA-cam keeps track of every second of watch time, so you you are skipping around in the video, or get bored and leave, etc, the video actually gets recommended less, because although the views were higher, watch time wasnt.
Playing devil's advocate: If your audience is getting bored and are compelled to skip around or leave the video entirely, maybe the content needs improvement, and rightly UA-cam should recommended it less.
@@ResoluteGryphon I agree. But I know for a fact that a lot of my subscribers who are here for tutorials are like chickens without a head. They’ll open a video I upload without reading the title then realize it’s not a tutorial and leave. Meanwhile, I worked really hard on that content and for other viewers it is very valuable. So I hate that people who are here taking from me aren’t willing to do the bare minimum to help me succeed overall.
I wish most people could hear this, bcoz it affects a lot of creators.
The part about magicians having an issue with teaching on UA-cam but not learning for free is amazing!!!! I feel your mind set is spot on my friend!!
Yeah it’s also a bit of a checkmate when you make them realize the hypocrisy.
The “video starts at...” comments drive me nuts. Hope people take this video to heart.
same. It's basically insulting the creator's content.
@@charlie3449 ya ik, they are the kind of people he said that only likes to take take take and does nothing for the creator who puts effort into his videos
At the risk of being banned 🙄 I think it really depends on the specific channel. Spidey's stuff is really good and I've never felt compelled to skip around. But some channels have a click-bait title, and then when you start watching the first half of the video is clearly just filler to get their watch time up and increase their ad revenue. I'm not here to make you money, I'm here to be entertained. Treat me right (like Spidey does) and I'll treat you right. Troll the algorithm to maximize your profits, and I'll troll you right back to maximize my entertainment.
@@bryan__m can you really blame a creator for trying different avenues for channel growth? your view of being a passive viewer is not entirely true. your viewing has an effect on that creator's success, and sometimes, their living. if you aren't interested in their content, then don't click. don't hurt their ratings by clicking and then telling everybody to hurt that video. It doesn't matter if they might have tried to increase watch time. you don't HAVE to go the route of telling everybody to skip parts of the video, and it's a good thing to do not to. it's kind of selfish to troll a creator for trying to (in some cases but not others) make a living, isn't it? It's so easy to not do those comments, so just don't do them. it's that easy. a rare occasion where the passive thing to do is the right thing.
@@charlie3449 oh I don't tell people to skip. I'm too lazy 🤣 Do I blame creators for trying different avenues for channel growth? Absolutely not.
Do I blame creators for dicking me around? Yup. Those are not the types of creators I follow either, but since they are so good at gaming the algorithm naturally their content still makes it to me. I'll be confused and bored as to what the person is talking about and look at the comments to see if it's just me: lo and behold someone has told me where the actual interesting part starts. I skip, watch, and be sure to avoid that channel from then on.
Again, I don't watch UA-cam to see how creative people can be to game the algorithm, I watch for the content. Provide good content, I'll stick around, throw you a like and subscribe (and click the notification bell to be notified of every new episode); provide bad content I'm not going to sit and play your game to guide even more people to it.
Thanx Spidey for clearing things up. Stay safe.
This one actually hit me quite hard. I'm not a youtuber at all and I don't usually leave comments. I never thought about how I contribute to channels that I like to watch and learn from and this is something I will have to give a huge rethink. I like what you are doing a lot and how you treat us all. I was never guilty about leaving any comments as you described, but I skipped some parts of the videos and used "video starts from...". And now I'm quite ashamed of that.
I think that 4 guidelines are super reasonable and fair. And I appriciate a lot that you have shared your views with us so openly and freely.
Thank you for that! Love your channel :-)
Absolutely!! So much gold here. Even as a beginner magician myself I stress to everybody that the trick is only a small part of what you are actually teaching. Confidence, performance, angles... etc. I don't like, and have tried in the past to deter people from uploading regurgitated tutorials. I literally watch like a million card tricks do something and then flip over and see somebody else copy and paste. Like they just finished watching that video and turned on record and then upload them doing it. And the bad part is UA-cam promotes it. If I learn a trick, I practice, practice, practice then show people what I have been working on then plug the video I learned it from so my viewers can learn it properly. So thank you Spidey, not just for the giveaways and tutorials, but for all of those other things that help us be better.
Your videos and tutorials made my pandemic much more manageable while also going through paramedic school. I wasn't able to progress as a kid when I was obsessed with learning magic because I never understood theory, proper slight of hand and creating my own tricks based off of learning simple moves. As a kid I only cared about learning specific tricks and got discouraged when I couldn't do a proper "double lift" or didn't understand proper "misdirection". Not only has your channel help me understand magic better, it's helped keep my mind motivated to continuously keep learning a craft, and also prove to myself that hard work and dedication can allow me to relive the joy of creating new tricks off of what I learn and perform for my family and friends. Now that I'm done with paramedic school, I also now perform for patients in the back of ambulances to help distract them from potentially the worst day of their life, to try and put a smile on their face when they are in pain. I can't tell you how many patients and friends laugh and smile when I burn ink away, or "guess" their card. Never commented on a video, but I've been here for almost a year now and love seeing what you do and teach. Thank you
UA-cam has a feature for removing comments with specific keywords. But this can backfire also removing sometimes good comments.
Everyone being respectful to each other does good for everyone.
I am very new to your channel but it has very quickly become one of my favourites because of the things you have listed in this video. As a veteran with Complex PTSD I find it very difficult to leave my residence (very handy in a pandemic 🤔). Having had a live of magic since childhood, I have started trying to learn some close up magic as a form of therapy. I am eternally grateful that professionals like yourself are willing to share so much with us through this medium. The fact that you don’t just show how a trick is done is what draws me to channels like yours. Thank you so much. 🙏
Video starts at 0:00
;)
I have never done or learned magic but have loved watching it my whole life. I recently stumbled onto your channel and have been binge watching your content.
I am recently disabled because of a disease called scleroderma, which has stolen most of my passions in life away from me. This means that my life has changed and I am forced to find new hobbies and interests. What you have taught me brings those little smiles back into my life. I never really owned a deck of cards before, but I now have both a blue Bicycle deck and a red one . I also own a deck of double sided face cards as well as double backed cards.
I just recently traveled cross country to visit my parents, and get this, I traveled with my cards to practice and show them what I have learned.
I have never posted on your channel before because I'm watching your content years behind and I don't expect that you read comments from a year or more ago, but will start posting more on your new videos. Even this video is 7 months old as I post this and I am pretty sure will not be seen, but that is OK as I just wanted to say thank you anyway. You have made the life of someone a little bit better, thank you. I have since seen other magic content creators, but I far prefer your videos because of how you present the performance and give the history. Both of which should never be forgotten.
Anyway, I plan of performing your trick using a double faced card that is forced and the real card is in my wallet in a few days (after I practice a little more) for my parents. They they will love it. So, not only did you bring a smile to my face, but you will also be bringing smiles to my parents faces. Thanks Spidey! I hope this post finds you, and if so, I hope you can realize what a magical thing you have done for me. See what I did there :)
Thanks Spidey!
Well you’re wrong about one thing. I saw your comment and it means the world to me. I’m so happy you’ve found something here that makes you happy. And I hope you keep finding things cor years to come to add to your new found hobby 😊
I'll try to keep it short. First time I ever saw you (was on s youtube video of fool us) i thought I didn't liked you as a person or a performer, later on I came across your channel and by now I actually feel you as a friend, you've got me way more interesting on magic and for the longest time I couldn't work my mind around why would you come and teach us things that took you tons of money, time, and creative energy to create or tweak wonderful stuff, i always get a great time when I come to your channel and i always leave smiling and having learned something new, you've become something very close to a role model for me. Bottom line is that not only I've learned tons of magic tricks, techniques and effects, now I really enjoy watching you perform, it's a great experience and i get very engaged through a simple screen, and is incredibly fun watching you hang out with other magicians and have a great time.
I cannot thank you enough, pls keep being a great person and a wonderful teacher.
Very well said man! 🤘🏻 I’ve experienced all of these when sharing tutorials and I think you summed it up perfectly, it’s really just a lack of respect for the content creator and the art. People need to understand that we can’t dip into other people’s pockets and teach marketed effects. Magic definitely has a place to be tough online, there are many benefits, but there is a fine line to what you can and can’t teach. I have been including timestamps in the descriptions of my tutorials with the intent of helping viewers when rewatching the content. After listening to this I’m considering changing that because it just facilitates people skipping the really important things and looking for the “secret”, it’s their loss though I suppose. Thanks for this, great video😁
Yeah bud. And you’re such a joy to watch that they shouldn’t be skipping any part of the video. If you didn’t think it was important it wouldn’t be in the video. You’re hurting your own watch time.
Mad love to you Spidey ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Whatever little I know about magic, I completely owe it to youtube and to guys like you. And to think that you're not even a full time UA-camr but still doing these tutorials, you're amazing Spidey!
This is the kind of video that should go viral. I agree a 100%. The point of a tutorial is not just the trick, the tools (the concepts, the performance, the patter) all of it is important even more so than the actual trick. Personally whenever I learn a new concept or sleight the first thing that comes to my mind is what other applications can I find using the same principal or combining it with other principals that I know and the trick itself to me is like a battle tested bonus. 🙂
UA-cam is a great platform to share ideas and thoughts and grow as a community... And you are doing a great job. 👍
The first time I saw your video on Shin Lim's channel, I was totally amazed by you. That, I believe, was the moment when I decided to learn magic from then on. I just rushed to your channel and subscribed without a second thought. I knew I was gonna love your channel, and I really did.
When I watched the video in which you hypnotized a girl and made her see a rugby ball as her pet dog, it blew my mind and I decided to learn hypnotism no matter what and started saving money to buy Induction from then on.
So please don't get upset or angry on people who doesn't know how to appreciate magic or only cares about the secret. There are lots of people like me whom you have encouraged a lot to learn magic. Please keep up the good work knowing that you have our love and support.
Now this is how it's done. Talented and humble. This is integrity. Thanks for making it possible for an old guy come back to the hobby of his childhood and find a whole new world waiting!!
Your performance at the beginning is a crucial part of the tutorial imo as it's a great way to see how you do some sleight of hand without the audience noticing or what the end product is that i should be working towards. Your tricks really do help people such as myself who are very curious about learning magic tricks and thank you for that!
I just ordered Raj Madhok's book and am looking forward to reading it. I appreciated this video because I had no idea how viewer behavior affected a channel I love the fact that magicians who love the art respect the intellectual property of brother/sister magician. Denny Haney taught me early on in my magic education about respecting the creators of magical effects by giving credit where credit is due. I love that Raj allowed you to keep your UA-cam post and I love that you expressed your gratitude toward his graciousness. I purchased Raj's book not only to learn more about mentalism, but to honor you and him for your integrity. Thank you.
1st I want to say a thank you to Raj Madhok for letting you for keeping the video up and a thank you Spidey for keeping it up, I also thank you for the tutorial video's you do put up, although I love to learn tutorials on UA-cam I also learn from the Magic Books I buy not only on Magic but on books that help make my performances better by the way one should connect with the audience or how to present yourself to the Spectator, one of the first books that I learned some magic is a Boy Scouts book on Magic back in 1966 and if course thanks to my Grandfather who was a farmer and Butcher teach me my 1st card tricks and taught me all about one way decks and two way decks and peeking
as a student who grew an interest in performing magic for myself, close family, and friends, I cannot express how grateful I am for your videos. It annoys me so much when people just come in to the magic community just to make a personal benefit and take advantage of people like you who put so much time an effort into your videos by creating tricks, explaining the history and crediting and leaving links to other places where we can learn. I subscribed to this channel after the first video I watched because of how much amazing content you put in the whole video - much more than just tutorials, as well as other videos which aren't tutorials but just sharing your enjoyment of the community with us, truly makes my day, thank you
I could pretty much say the exact same thing. Respect to Spidey all the way!
Love this, and this seems like an appropriate place to thank you again for getting me back into magic with your channel. Hopefully, the annoying stuff calms down and you continue to enjoy making this content-there are tons of us that sure appreciate it!
Your UA-cam channel has taken me to a different level of magic! Thank you so much for taking the time to teach me and all of us. I will definitely start engaging more.
I agree with what you said Spidey. As an amateur/hobbyist magician (never going to make money at it) I appreciate the "gifts" that tutorials are. I know you have done your best in researching what you put out, as I have purchased a few of your tricks, and in the tutorial video you are always talking about the history of the trick, and you have always given credit to those that created a version before you.
As far as the length of your videos go, as an amateur, I appreciate what you give. Both you and Jay Sankey go insanely (and I mean that in a good way) in depth on presentation of the trick and the psychology behind it. These are things amateurs need to understand
I absolutely love the envelope prediction where you fooled Shin, and gave us what I consider to be your greatest gift, Krylon Easy Tack!! I have actually substituted it in other illusions that use a different method, and it has worked perfectly! I do look forward to your tutorials, but I do like the other content you post as well, and watch as much as I can.
Although I consider myself to be more of a "visual learner" when it comes to magic, I will purchase Raj Madhok's EBook, just because it is priced so low and you recommend it, and hey, he's letting you keep that video up! :)
Ok, I’m that type of person who doesn’t comment much on UA-cam, and almost never when I agree with what’s being said. But here I have to step in and say that for me performances vs tutorials are the treasure of this channel. Obviously, I do watch tutorials but the performance style Spidey has amazes me even more and I’m trying to learn from him and his guests how to present the trick vs just know the secret. Once you learn a bunch of sleight-of-hands you start to notice them and can figure out some tricks by your own, but the presentation is smth that makes the tricks so mind blowing. Poor presentation definitely ruins the trick and the result is either poor reactions or trick method exposure.
Spidey. Thank you for posting this. As a amateur Magician/Mentalist I use your videos for inspiration and visual learning I cannot get from books.
Yes its very important to discuss these topics....especially with your subs...great work spidey .
Thanks Spidey for all your amazing work! Most of the community is amazing and we will continue to support you and all the efforts you put in this channel and your magic!
First of all, thanks a lot Spidey for bringing up this issue .... everyone plss watch this video nd give the creators the respect they deserve by encouraging them and their work... let's together build a better community for all☮️
Your channel is exactly what I was looking for. Let me explain ! When I watch magic tricks on UA-cam, most of the times there is absolutly no context. Those videos are shorts, some guy show you a trick and how to do it : END ! This is exactly what i dislike. I like when someone tells me a story or take me on a journey. And you Sir are a true TELLER ! And I really want to thank you for this. Because each time I come to watch your videos, I know I'm going on a new journey. And whatever the subjet of your video is, I'm still hyped to travel with you. So big thank you from a humble frenchman. Friendly your, Tanis.
Toujours un plaisir de rencontrer mes abonnés Français. Je suis très content que vous aimez le contenu et mes discours parfois redondants 😂
Unlike other people I don't go to youtube channels that only make tutorials, I watch videos of magicians like Alex Pandrea, Daniel Madison, Xavier Spades, and of course Spidey. The reason is that I like elaborated video, a video which not only teaches the secrets explicitly but also the history and psychology behind it. By just knowing the secret you can never be a great performer when you learn a trick you have to think like any other magician. And I mostly watch performances because I already know dozens of effect and those are enough to blow someone's mind but to know how to handle the audience to know how to present storytelling is the real deal.
I usually don't comment on videos but this felt like I should.
Thank you!
I will add Aaron Fisher to that list and Paco Rodas Ratazzi, both are great channels and imo need some more love.
But regarding the "tutorial leeches", it's just some people that only have curiosity to figure out how something is done, nothing beyond that. Which I guess can be ok, but obviously not the best kind of viewer if you want people that actually care about magic and to have as part of a community.
And man, commenting more is easy. Just have something important to do and instead procrastinate by giving Spidey engagement, it's that simple for me.
Keep killing it Spidey! I love all your tutorials thank you for sharing! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I have been interested in magic since I was young and I kept returning to you as a result of your positive attitude and no tolerance for bullying. Your content is wonderful and the tutorials you decide to share are always excellent so please don't stop. Most magicians seem to have found a mentor or someone to show them the ropes but I live in a small town and have no idea where to find such a person and even if I did everything I read tells me they would not be willing to share. I am a visual learner so books, while great, are difficult for me. Please keep up the good work it is appreciated!!
Hey Spidey, I've been a regular viewer of your channel since almost an year, Watched many of your old videos too, I realized I didn't comment or got involved much, and now seeimg it from your perspective, I realize how important it is! I'll share my views about the video on all comments from now on! Just wanted to say You are amazing, You have taught me so many tricks, that I use to amaze friends and family, It was so hypocritical of me to learn it all for free and never even thank you!
Hello spidey I have been learning magic for a little over a year and you by far are my favorite mentalist. I enjoy the fact you seem like a genuinely nice guy and I appreciate getting to learn some stuff from you. In the fall you made a video with the 6 monsters and it is one of the only tricks I have actually performed for people outside my family. I made the 6 drawings and even laminated them and got the perform at a little fair for about 15 different people and everyone enjoyed it. As well as a video you made where you taught how get the chosen card to the fourth position cull it and force it it was one of my favorites and I actually call that force , well to my self, the spidey force. Thanks for all you do bud;)
I think this video is super important, and interaction is everything. I want to thank you spidey for how generous you have been with your time and work. I love your videos, and I hope you keep posting awesome stuff!
It's thanks to you that I picked up card magic as a hobby, Spidey! Thanks to learning magic I have MUCH more appreciation for magicians when they do magic tricks, because now I catch lines or things that are obviously thrown there to throw off other magicians (notable in Fool Us). Thank you so much for reigniting my interest in magic! I only do it casually and it's still really fun!
Spidey, just gotta say man... I have much respect for you and your channel... I hope the video trims the community to the loyal and committed members!!! Love your content!!!
As a popular creator on a different social media, I can really relate to this. You are my favourite magic youtuber, and I really agree with this.
Thank you so much Spidey! This was a really important one.
I don't comment but I watch all your videos. I discovered you through Chris and I honestly am so glad. Knowing the impact i can have just by leaving a message is eye opening. This is a space you've made for us and whatever direction you want to do with it. We will follow happily, amd I've also just discovered I have haven't been getting notifications so now I've got some stuff to binge watch!
Thank you for being so open and honest and for making us all think. I do love your tutorials, they are grand effect but i come here most of all for the care and love you put in them and so in us
Hi Spidey, I am 67 years old and retired. Mentalism and magic I discovered 5 month ago by clicking through youtube. This gave my live a new direction; and I am very happy about. I practice every single day to go better and better. Thank you so much to you and all the other great magicians they are sharing a part of their knowledge.
I am 73years old and yet I learned a lot from your ETHICAL talk...........Thanks Spidey.
I would also just like to personally thank you spidey I’ve been doing magic for the last 30 odd years but have always struggled with confidence but your videos have helped me so much you don’t know how much your channel has helped not just my magic but my personnel life aswell keeep safe and hope you and the family are well
Well said. Thanks for everything you teach and share. The community you are growing is such a encouraging beautiful place .
Spidey, there was a trick a while back that you posted that blew my mind so much that I won’t go back and watch it because it messed with my mind so much that I want to keep the method of that trick a secret to me. I love all your tricks because they are very inventive and so amazing. Keep up the good work 👍🏼
I love you’re videos because they take there time. I’m a beginner in magic and I’ve learned a lot from you so thank you for everything you do. and thank you for talking to the community it really shows you care.
I would just like to say thank you. I'm a truck driver and I listen without watching your videos whilst I drive. I find your explanations and the stories behind the tricks fascinating. I have a 12 year old son that I want to try your tricks on I'm sure he'll be amazed. Thank you again for keeping me entertained.
Good to see some perspective. I haven't done the mentioned things, but have seen them and never thought about it too much (not being a creator myself). Nice video 👏
I saw this video twice once on my ps4 console and on my phone so i can comment. I really enjoyed it. It has been a year since i actually got into magic. You have helped me a lot. I mentioned before to u that i was debating getting your psycho trick or your at the live table lecture. You mentioned to get the latter and i bought it. I actually have seen youtubers post some your tricks for free and i am like i am not clicking on this is spidey's livelihood and i feel the same for other magicians. I am learning face change by joshua jay(whom you mentioned lol) from his lecture, bought Ramsay voodoo trick, and many others. I always try to give support to the magicians i have seen or when a magician mentions a book i try to buy it. Thank you spidey.
I really appreciate this kind of video, thank you Spidey! I think the best part of your channel, and what anyone who is just here for trick tutorials misses out on, are the nuggets of pure gold you give us all the time. You're not out here making parrot magicians who learn and regurgitate tricks but magicians who can take and create their own routines and effects. You're one of the good ones! Keep it going 💪
Spider, you are being very reasonable in your request.
I try to watch each video from start to finish. Once in awhile I need to stop and go back later and start from the beginning.
If nothing else you have been honest, upfront, open and entertaining all while helping some of us on our journey in the magic community.
I am grateful for the opportunity and when needed for the feedback I have received.
One day I hope we can meet face to face for a proper thank you. 👍👍😃
What a GREAT video!!! Every time you post it seems like my respect for you just grows & grows-
I wanted to like all 4 points repetitively!!
Hi Spidey, thanks for what you do here. I love that you are building a community and creating a space for like minded people to share and grow rather than just consume. Keep up the good work.
You’re awesome Spidey! Keep up the great work brother! Love all your content
I’ve watched a lot and learned a lot from this channel but this is probably my favorite video. I love the honesty
Right on Spidey! I've been watching your channel for a couple years now, and even though I might know the trick or method, I always enjoy watching you perform. The performance itself gives me a better understanding of how to be a better magician.
Since I’m subscribed I think I’ve watched every video. I enjoy everything you do. I love to learn how tricks are done. I wish I had the patience and dexterity to actually learn the moves. I love the mentalist content. I also like to try and figure out the puzzle and learning methods let’s me try to figure out other tricks. As far as magic books or car repairs books or house repairs books. If that’s not your trade you might as well be reading greek. I can’t tell you how many things I’ve fixed thanks to UA-cam. Keep making videos. I’ll keep watching. I even love your lighted shelf. Lol
Really great message sir. I love and watch all of your context. Much love and respect. I wish to meet you someday!
Hey Spidey. I hope you are doing great!! I really hope this video gets to everyone who watches magic related videos. Thank you so much for each and every single video, you are a huge inspiration for me.
Thanks for the video! I have learned quite a lot from your channel in the short time that I have subscribed. I haven't watched the tutorial in question, but I will and I will purchase the book in order to support the community of magicians.
Hi there, I don't usually comment on any video on youtube, but just because I'm not very used to it, I love your content (every single video) and I think it gets a really hard work and it's really good to have such a great mentalist, magician and creator performing it and teaching it, so thank you for all the content, but specially for all the theory you teach, as a semi-professional magician and mentalist, it's the part that makes me improve the most, it really makes the difference, you have lots of tutorials, but just a few that teach you the details you need to transform a "trick" into a magic experience, so for all that, thank you Spidey, thanks for inspire us on many creative ways!!
Special thanx to "Raj madhok" for being so generous .
It's really a big deal for a creator to allow his content (for which he put many days or months to come up with solid routines) 🙏
👏👏👏👏
And thanx to Spidey too
1) for creating such a channel for the young future magicians and learners out there.
2) for taking out precious time from busy schedule to remain active on channel too.
Keep creating and I wish you good luck❤🤝
Love from India🇮🇳
Thanks for all you give us. A lot of what you teach is way over my head, but I love watching your content in the hopes I will pick up something!
I've been a fan for over a year now. I don't do magic at all. I'm just a fan who appreciates all the hard work and artistry that goes into your craft. And I really appreciate the tutorials you're willing to share with the public. It's educational and entertaining all in one. Thanks for the content, Spidey.
Well said! It's rare that I agree with everything said when someone does a dialogue, but this was well thought out and absolutely true. Thank you for posting!
Thanks Spidey, this is really great to see. I really love learning the things that you teach and all of my performances have had one of your tricks in them. Please continue with the absolutely ripper content
I find it great just to watch....I'm no magician but I appreciate your engagement en generosity on sharing you're video's. And I couldn't agree more with what you are saying in this video. Thanks Spidey and keep up the good work.
Hey Spidey, I love this video, it's a great outlook and I'm glad you are putting up some guidelines. I don't always watch your videos, but I'll be definitely coming back for more.
Something I find very unique and valuable on your channel is how fair you are, and the respect you have for others. I can really appreciate the sincerity in this message. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. And Spidey....I know you don't have to be here on youtube...but I'm really glad that you are🤗
This video was badly needed... Keep up the gr8 work.
Thanks for share that tricks, You've helped me a lot about magic, Hope you make more video about that topic.
All very fair. Well explained and passionately put. Thank you for everything so far and keep it coming.
I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. Well spoken, heartfelt. I agree with your sentiments and want to thank you for caring enough to explain your perspective to your avid followers.
Thank you for everything Spidey. You are awesome!. Keep it up and stay safe!
Superb.....
Thanks for sharing.
The way u hv clarified certain details is perfect.
I definitely don’t comment as much as I should but your channel is the most helpful and honest magic content on UA-cam! I appreciate it so much, especially now with all the quarantine practice time.
Hey Spidey. Can I just say a huge thank you for all the videos you do. I live in the UK and you have really helped me during this troublesome time. Your videos have honestly made me so happy and I really enjoy them. Please keep up the good work and I’ll try and comment more
I’m so sad to hear that these things happen to you spidey, one reason I love your channel so much is that you do show the history and other points that really strengthen your tricks and what makes your channel so unique. Hope you keep up the great content and can’t wait for what’s to come!
Thank you Spidey. I watch your videos from start to finish as I find the background and how the performance should be informative and very helpful. I have been practicing magic for several years and in the last few years I have been inundated with gigs and parties for friends and family. I have a varied routine and I find your guidance and direction valuable. Keep the passion going to help us up coming magicans young and old 👍
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. Your videos are top notch, well thought out and prepared I believe the effort you put in them deserves to be respected
Refreshing post, thank you - reminds me to always understand that the people behind the work are exactly that; people. Not "product".
Hi Spidey,
I just wanted to say I appreciate your content. I have watched several tutorials and also one of your videos on the mentalist. I was an amateur magician for many years, but fell away from it a couple years ago. Your videos are helping me get back into the hobby, and I appreciate it.
We love you too Spidey :). I'm more of a passive UA-cam user overall, might be a generational thing or a personality thing (or both), but your channel is one of the few where I post some messages, because it is clear you care for this community and you love what you do. Thanks a lot for all you are doing and giving.
Good for you Spidey. I love how honest you are. Most people would have just pulled down the last tutorial without crediting the creator's. So good for you! I actually think the same thing happened to Daniel Madison. Look its gonna happen isnt it. I mean come on, how many guitarists have used the same chord selections over the years..its just influence isnt it. Spidey your content has changed the way i write my own magic, you've taught me so much about magic philosophy and mind set and how to structure effects. Its not just about secrets all the time. Thank you Spidey. Thank you for everyone that supports the art of magic and those who are working tirelessly to push the craft forward. 🕷🕸
This talk was really Heart to Heart. I do agree with all of your points.
You are so humble and I really enjoy your mentalist series
So absolutely true to the core Spidey. Thanks for bringing this up. I am not a magician but if I was the video creator it would encourage me if people did what is supposed to be correct. Video starts at has become such a take for granted thing since this means one doesn't give a shit about the essence or history around the trick/concept. Hope we all watch this and take it to our heart to take our time and let others take theirs to watch the full content rather a shortcut to their trick.
Spidey, I speak for most of us when I say that we appreciate the videos you put out, no matter what they are about, and that we understand the work you do for us internet people. It kinda sucks that some people have the audacity to tell people on YOUR video in YOUR comment section to skip parts of YOUR video and hurt your channel. No, it really sucks. But just know that your (rapidly) growing group of subscribers really appreciates you and want the best for your channel. peace out
Thank you Raj Madhok
We think this content and information should be on every magicians UA-cam channel so we all educate the newcomers! You covered everything, awesome job!
I agree completely with everything you say in this reflection on UA-cam videos. I've been guilty of watching your (other) videos without leaving a comment. For this I apologize. After hearing your testimonial for "Mysteriouser and Mysteriouser", I followed your link and purchased the download. I look forward to reading and learning about Madhok's approach to mentalism. Back in the '60's I started trying to learn card tricks. One of the first books I bought was Jean Hugard's "Royal Road to Card Magic." I found it somewhat difficult to follow as the illustrations seemed to miss a lot of the "in between" steps. Recently, I ordered R. Paul Wilson's 5 Disk set of DVD's based on this classic. I love it. Even at 76 I find the explanations along with the videos very easy to follow. (Actually, much easier to follow than my wife's instructions of what I should do while she's out.)
You’re my favorite channel :)! And nice mindset!
Honestly if it wasn't for UA-cam I would of never got into magic. Thank you :)
