@@ohgary well, you just probably don't follow magic as an art form. Im not a magician myself, but have been a fan of magic for few years now. I know how most of the televised tricks are done, and it brings me more appreciation to the artists and their presentation. In this video, there are mostly classic tricks, easy to understand but extremely difficult to apply.

When my daughter was 13 and knew it all, I took her to see Johnny Ace Palmer at Zachs. When we were waiting for the show to start she declared "There is no such thing as magic". After she signed a card and he made it stick to the ceiling, she was impressed. By the time he finished his act with the cups and balls, she was wide eyed, flabbergasted and no longer a know-it-all! Thanks Johnny!

I opened for Johnny at the Magic Castle last year. He is seriously one of the nicest people you will ever meet!

"Doesn't she look real?" cracks me up every time. Love Johnny's routine.

Arguably one of the best close up magicians that ever lived!

Indeed!!!

Even though you know how magicians do their tricks never tell them to anyone, respect their work, they might have gone through a lot while choosing this as their passion, their parents might have not supported them for this, they have gone through a lot of practice day and night, and they make people smile. Some people just to show how clever or smart they are goes on to telling how he did the trick but they never tell how much time did it take to get it perfect. If you are one of those and you are that smart then why don't you become a magician. They are the most creative people on Earth and they got a family to feed as well, If you are reading this, I beg you never ever tell anyone how magicians do their magic and that's when you actually become smart and clever.

Yeah, finger dexterity and finger independence doesn't come easy. Those are a definite must have, to perform slight of hand tricks. Hours and hours for just one trick. Though, if you master a couple of slight of hand tricks. I think it should be "easier" to master more of them... (But sure as hell I can't).

People that are "clever" enough to figure out the tricks and tell everyone aren't clever enough to know they are spoiling it for other people or clever enough to know the skill involved. And you are right the practice to make a trick perfect could be years plus like this guy being soo entertaining is another skill in itself.

He's such a nice, likeable guy. And so good!

I've done magic for many years at least 20 and I have to say Bravo to Johnny Ace, he is very good. His slight of hands and props he has mastered them well.

Johnny Ace Palmer - Best of Best !!! Absolute Master - Sleight of hand and Entertainment !!! He proves every time that he's FISM Grand Prix Winner !!! Love him, met him in person and saw him Live !!!

I've revisited this video years after first watching it, because I find Johnny to be a wonderfully warm, charismatic and just lovely person. I know nothing about him, but his skills are amazing and I just love this video.

Old school, classic. Look, this kind of Magic, the style, might be dated but it is really really well done. And, for the average audience, it's just magic! Johnny is a total beast and there are so many little things that he is doing here that modern kids just don't understand. A real Pro here doing what seems like real magic. Man, the standing cups and balls with the Finish... Awesome!

One of THE absolutely strongest experiences I've had watching magic was seeing Johnny do his FISM act. Absolutely FRIED me!!!! His cups and balls ending with chicks and doves BLEW MY MIND. Plus--he's an absolute SAINT of a person.

Nice performance dear brother

Putting smiles on faces. You are the best!

This magician has motivated me to become a professional magician. I was 10 years old when I saw him on "Incredible Sunday" and the "Magic Castle". His magic is extraordinary. Thank you for posting.

Felt bad for him when that short piece of rope showed when it fell out of his hand.. But he brilliantly covered it up with his legendary showmanship.. I would have taken the short piece and pretend to dispose it off in my pocket while retaining it and secretly add it with the long one as i get into its performance. Johnny is truly a masterful performer!

World class Magic sprinkled with humour and simply amazing (literally !) effects - one of the VERY best in his field. I thoroughly enjoyed this and learned masses about presentation AND timing. How to handle people ? He made even that wonderful !!

Well, the very first thing I saw in this video is a ring dangling from his left hand sleeve, which he used to extract flowers. He is certainly a charismatic person and for the most part is a very smooth sleight of hand. But as with all sleight of hand tricks it only works because spectators don't know what he is going to do. If you expect those alive chickens, bottles or rabbits to appear it is not really hard to see, when he puts them in there.

@@blacktigershearthstoneadve6905 I challenge you to do anything that he does but better I guarantee you can't. It's easy to talk and know secrets but magic is not knowing secrets thats only maybe 10% of the effect. Presentation, misdirection,audience management, and so much more is the other half

He is so cool, I love this! Thanks for sharing!

I could see the distraction and sleight of hand on most of the videos with Johnny, but I would have never seen it live. And that's the real trick. His distraction is perfect, and his delivery is so good... I think he is as good as any sleight of hand magician that I have witnessed, and I actually knew a few of them in my years. Plus he is so entertaining. Darn KZread videos, especially up close, let you slow everything down - but again, it doesn't matter. His performance is tops. And of course, I could not figure out everything he did. He's really quick, and deceptive - and as I suggested but did not say explicitly, he is a world class entertainer. At least to me he is. Once I found him I watched all the videos I could find. I hope he is doing well today.

@kevinwells4986

addendum, I had to look up more videos. Of course he had to redo many of his routines, to fill out an act, but he has that extra something which allows him to vary the delivery. Plus he is able to enjoy the delivery himself, you can tell by listening to him and watching him perform the same trick in different videos. He's into it along with his audience, which always makes for the best possible performance. And yes, he brings in new stuff to his shows, which may become routine in the future - but his delivery will not make them seem routine. What a great performer who earns the title of magician.

Verry nice live show-a real performer. Ty and greatings from Swizerland😍😍😎
