I love the fact you manage to do 4-5 accents all at the same time and all really badly. It makes the whole thing 10 x better.

When Magnus is hanging out with the guy with the beard, there is a sense of him being in on it and him also being undercover with you. He figures out who youn might be and then there is a camaraderie when Magnus asks whether he should try the white route. This is a good exciting moment and nobody else int that vicinity really seems to know whats happening, so that is a great bonus.,

I love the comments about Magnus still being recognizable but beside the fun we poke at the costumes, the videos are still highly entertaining and I have a lot of fun watching them. And a big part to that plays this community that pokes fun have fun without being mean for most parts. I always get a good laugh scrolling through here, something like "at this point they are not disguises but his alter egos" is just hilarious looking at how much he is doing for the roles, like the Swedish accent in Australia, like they would know haha Keep them coming Magnus! :)

Videos like these always show how amazing and wholesome the bouldering community is. I found that in beginners and pros!
