Chinese in origin? Chink a Chink? Did I hear that correctly? Can't do that today! Wow!
Amazing. No words.
Just brilliant,nice easy magic, by the late karrell fox
It's nice to watch karrell fox , like other people I've got a couple of his books from supreme magic,all the best, Paul in the UK
R.I.P.
the man!
❤❤❤
Card mechanic. Ow wow
good
I can't believe how dead this audience is. They are watching one of the best ever doing miracles and barely react.
Does anyone know how after he fans the cards, he pushes one up slightly? Thanks in advance.
Masterful. This is how to sell an ESP routine.
고인의명복을빕니다
Congratulations, Mr. Minch. No one is more deserving of such an honor! I've read and reread so many of your books over the years and am looking forward to many more!
Impressive
He was stealing to many thoughts from the size of that melon
What is the difference between a trick and an 8 minute masterclass audience-participation performance ? Johnny Thompson ! Still inspiring !
Since I have worked with Stephen Minch on two books, I can say that he's not only a great author, he's an even better editor. This is well deserved!
Very cool! Can't wait to see what this rising star will come up with in the next few years!
Well deserved! Artem is awesome!
I saw Mario's show in Los Angeles a couple of years ago. Exhilarating and fun to a degree I've never seen before. This was a good choice for the award!
Congratulations Mr Minch. I don’t normally leave comments but this is different as I love all of Stevens books as I must have most. Also I like the way the crediting is done and the lay out. Also John Fisher who he mentions ( if it’s the same one) is a fellow country man who is from here in the U.K. and used to present many magic shows here inc The Paul Daniels show. But anyway congratulation’s again
Congratulations!!
Mario is amazing! I'm so happy he was given this award!
Beau!!! Thank you!!!
Nicely deserved 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
So wonderfully deserved!❤
So kind of you, Nikola, thank you!
She 8s brilliant 🎉💐👍😊👍
Terry Z at Hllywd Mgc could do it like this
Any footage of the Magic Den filmed in Edmonton? I was on it as a cub scout in the 70's. Dale was also a substitute teacher at our school on occasion.
Lenier has some amazing material but his presentation is so dry that it is underappreciated.
some nice subtleties that no one does in this illusion anymore
the voice cracking after being tied in an unexpected way was great
Cool
I had the honor of sitting down at the table with this fantastic entertainer. Just like MAGIC 🪄!
This clown was a drunk. He used to run through the magic castle naked, screaming “the Loch Ness monster is up my arse “.
He’s horrible. Talks down to the audience.
Wrong. Martin was a great guy and a fabulous performer. You’re viewing his performing personality in which he portrayed himself as someone with whom you would never want to play cards. He NEVER talked down to anyone. He kidded around with everyone and people understood that and liked him. I know you won’t be able to understand this, but we grew up and lived in a time in which people could take a joke, unlike the little Snowflakes of today who whine at the slightest provocation because they got their tiny feelings hurt - like most of the trolls on YT.
Johnny Thompson was the man. Loved his appearing bowling ball.
So beautiful. Rest in peace brother 🙏❤️...
Cool
Charlie does one of his several variations on Jim Ryan's Ring, Wand and Rope!
He's doing amazing stuff but in such a way that like... applause breaks would be awkward. Just naming cards... remote viewing cards. It's a miracle, but the presentation is off. I'm sure he got a big round of applause at the end.
Very good! The way sleight of hand magic should be performed.
Not to be confused with the con man "J Earl Nelson" from Tennessee/Virginia.
That egg bag routine was phenomenal!
3:36 Dear god what a gifted man (hot shot cut)
The good old days, when local TV stations actually produced original entertainment programming, with local faces and flavour.
Your great❤
What a guy!!!
his comedy is like horrible...
