Hannibal is the first magician who makes me want to simultaneously know and not know how the tricks work. Love your performance!

@@shaheenbekk he forces a card on them. It's a form of manipulations you have the desired card being the "obvious" card to pick. The rest is just palming and showmanship. It is expertly done though

Every time I see you perform, it amazes me how you have the public in your grasp. Everything is perfectly done, seamlessly, controlled, as if everything is as natural as breathing. You, sir, are a top artist and really excel at your work. I can't get enough of your magic (and videos).

Well said. Very talented, and highly skilled.

Hope to see you again when this madness calms down!

I wish I had known you were going to be in Charlotte. I imagine seeing you perform live is life-changing.

I love this performance I've watched it more than three times 🤩 !! Thanks Mr.Hannibal 🖤

Man I'd love to see one of your acts live, not only for the amazing tricks that leaves me wondering how you did it but for your whole character too, the smart humor and how interactive you are with the crowd Keep it up man, God bless you

Incredible as always! Can't believe I somehow slept on this for three weeks!

This is awesome! I didn’t know you did a Ted talk!

I've been following you for a while and am, once again, going back through your catalog of videos. You are an inspiration in both your magic and storytelling. Nothing can stand in your way. Your latest hardship is a terrible thing, but you have proven time and time again that your passion for life and the way you live can allow for incredible things to happen. Keep being you, you magnificent beast of a human.

Such a great Ted talk. Long time subscriber and always excited to see new videos

Such a fantastic showman, love your work Hannibal!

I know everything you did for this. Seeing how you strung it together seamlessly is amazing. I actually find I enjoy magic more because I know the fundamentals versus when I had no clue how it was done.

Small crowd vs. big stage: Which performance is more difficult? Which is more fun? Or does it not matter?

Big stage is a bit harder, but I love doing both. Different challenges, different rewards.

Extremely entertaining with a few flares I hadn't seen from you before! I'm mesmerized by your acts I've seen before but this was a great mix of magic. Keep us mystified!

I have been watching you for a few years now and I never tire of your wit, humour and showmanship. Yes, you are truly fantastic at slight of hand but what makes the show is HOW you do everything white doing the trick. If you ever come to Canada or the Seattle area I will be sure to be one of the guys in the front row! I am subscribed to your channel and your newsletter and can't WSAIT until the stuff is over so I can see you live and in person!!! God bless Chris Hannibal and thank you for the enjoyment you have shown me through these videos.

I love your performances! They always put a smile on my face! Thanks for all you do!

he's really good, i'm pretty sure he's not lying when he says it's not that good of a trick, but nonetheless, it is indeed his favorite and it was WELL rehearsed.

Oooooh wow! That was an amazing performance! Fantastic job, sir!

At (2:20) you see him add the extra cards.

hope this young fella has a healthy heart. he's wonderful.

Very amusing. Amazing video. I have watched it so many times. Lol. Love it !!!

Incredible! Really enjoyed that.

Your a legend, Hannibal!

The Jack Black and Orson Welles remark had me CRYING with laughter !!! Love the energy and charisma. Brilliant performance brother !

I loved seeing you at the festival in Matthews! Keep up the amazing work!

I haven't been on your channel for a bit but I am long subscriber. Love watching your classic acts you did years ago. You're so talented especially at closeup magic. It truly seriously never gets old. I hope you're coping with this pandemic as I have. You've inspired me to start learning basic card tricks. You're still making a difference. I also would close my eyes and lay down with the window cracked open with the cold breeze blowing in and listen to you reading your book. It truly relaxed me. KZreads algorithms haven't been displaying your videos like it used to me but it did this time. Please keep working on your magic and I hope to see a new trick soon and hoping to hear you read so e passages out of your book. I know I've seen this video before, but I've never seen it this long before. Keep up the amazing energy you give off, this quarantine has been making me so depressed and feeling so so worthless. I'll be honest, I wanted to end my life last week and I went on KZread to find a song to end my life with to make it dramatic. However, one of your videos popped up since I am a subscriber, and I don't know why, but my mind clicked on your video and just kept clicking on video to video and eventually I felt better. You truly truly truly saved my life in an emotional way. Thank you Hannibal, I know it sounds kinda cheesy but you really made a difference. I'm still a depressed person as I suffer from depression, but I'm happy that you're here, sticking it through with all of us and just you being a humble person. I hope you can make a difference in other people's lives and maybe, just maybe save another person as you have saved me. God bless you.

if you did just comedy, I'd def come to your shows. If you did magic with zero comedy, I'd def pay to come to your shows. You're a master at both and that is magic in and of itself! Love your well-honed craft!!

I prayer your children are as gifted as you. That's a lot of talent.

Ayyy, you're the best ♡

Mr Hannibal you’re the best

At 9:22 Victor is looking at the faces of the cards and Hannibal seems to be kinda upset about it. I wonder why haha

just super, wow..............................i wish you more success

Trying to be too clever and still being outwitted by the magician smdh

Nicely done. Just found you today, and already a fan. Entertaining and genuinely funny (And look like Jack Black too :)

I rewinded the part where the sleight of hand is supposed to happen like 10 times and still looks like is not happening at all, so god damn fast n smooth, fucking unseeable. What a god.

I seen this before but I still love it

notice the majestic moove he did here... in the moment where he makes the "mistake" like "oops, it was the 10th card instead of the 11th card" he gave the audience, what all audiences in magician shos are looking for... they want to see the magician make a mistake, they want to catch him, they want to win, they want to say "we're smarter than you" not because they are bad people, just because is human nature. he than, proceeds to give the public what they want... only for them to realize... is not what they truly want... he gives the taste of "he made a mistake" to the audience, and the audicence realizes that this s not at all what they wanted, they wanted to be tricked, they ust didnt know that.. and once he prooves to them that they want to be tricked, he proceeds to amaze them, by telling every single card in the guys hand... and you know how he does that? it is easy to explain, but very hard to do... he acctuly knows the position of EVERY CARD I NTHE DECK... yes, you read that right, he knows exactly where every card in the deck is... because this is a necessary thig for magicians who do card tricks to learn, it is easy to explain... but VERY HARD TO DO, having to memorize 52 cards, and with only a glimpse, remember the position of ech one of them, one could acctuly call that, in fact, MAGIC!

Amazing.

He's a great entertainer all in one.

Perfect execution, and slight of hand manipulation. Great presentation and performance. Thank You Mr. C. Hannibal.

perfect? great yes but homeboy was one card off in the one trick finding the person in the audience card...

Definitely used the cards to buy food! Hahha. Love your magic and comedy.

I'd love to see Hannibal having a showdown with Penn and Teller, easily the top 3 guys for anything sleight of hand.

This was awesome, keep it going 👍 👏

The fact that it isn’t magic is even more impressive.

I've watched all ur performance vids and really enjoy watching ur act. I really find how u incorporate love and good memories and the want to uplift very appealing and seemingly quite different than other acts. I always laugh at ur quick wit and one liners, funny I guess most people at the shows are so into what's going on with the cards or the cups that they miss what u say once in a while. My favourite set u did was at that bar with the limes. That one u did with the cups at that hall was pretty funny too. I realize u are successful, but I wish u continued success.

As he say it's an easy trick, but his acting is so cool i still love it

Two thumbs up! 👍🙂👍

Legend, what a guy :D

This act is always +/- 3 thats what amazed me the most

THE GOAT!!!!!!!!

WOW, When you have a gift, SHARE IT!

Love this dude, stumbled upon his videos today on another channel where he showed his favorite trick on two lovely young ladies. This, at the 2:00 mark, seems similar to his favorite trick but not quite as good.

Hey, Hannibal- you're an awesome performer, so I thought I'd ask for some advice- I want to be a comedian, or a magician, I can't decide which. Maybe both, like you! But, I have severe stage fright. Do you have any ways to deal with stage fright, or being nervous before performing? Thanks, and you'll always be one of my inspirations :)

Very impressive sir.

so the number is always 3, nice you are my favorite magician sir.

The audience members are in on it

When he dropped the cards. He left the 8 of clubs on the floor. The kid is in on it.

Do it on Penn & Teller if u didn't yet! HowWow!

I would love to see this guy in person, anyone know where he’s from and all that?

Holy fuck! You think you see the "trick". 'haha. spotted ya'.. . but.. later.. it's not THE trick at all. It's some kind of trick-ception!! What an amazing man. Magical. Thank you.

I've posted this comment on another channel that has your favorite trick: Not only do you look like a cross between Jack Black and Orson Welles, but also like a mix between two very good friends of mine. The real mind-boggler though: neither of them looks anything like Jack Black or Orson Welles. So the only logical conclusion I can form from this is that you're a real magician... "Cards across? Please - way too easy. I'll do genetics across!"

I love that first trick! I'm about to perform it for my girlfriend and her roommate and my opening line is going to be "I didn't make this trick, but a man that looked like a cross between Jack Black and Orson Wells did" xD What do you think? Learned it from watching you, hope I don't get a big number like 8 or 9 ;)

Other than Hannibal has 8 letters, this was totally fun and entertaining.

Crazy great with cats

3 cards. Probably just enough to not physically notice a difference in size or weight of the "10" cards handed back.
