Dude put all his points in charisma and dexterity

[stevejames]

I'm unimpressed, considering I have an ex-wife that made my entire house disappear.

[Rekaert]

Doing the trick is one thing, but his showmanship and dry humour is another. Loved it.

[koholos]

As someone who used to mentor people in public speaking, I would often tell them to watch magicians. The ability to build rapport with an audience who is inherently trying to “catch you” lying to them is an excellent skill to learn, and this is a great example of doing it well.

[ioiwut]

i lost my shit when he said "the cups are identical - especially this one" but the crowd was just...

[brennantaylor]

He's a magician *and* a comedian. They should be paying him twice as much

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

His witty commentary is really impressive, and he's barely putting much thought into performing this trick.

[reezlaw]

If you keep going back and watching frame by frame you can eventually tell how he did it and it just makes it so much more impressive, the dexterity is unbelievable

[MikeTheGamer]

Plot Twist. All illusionists are actually trained magicians just making it look like slight of hand so no one digs deeper.

[Thoreaux]

Anytime the audience didn't clap when something impressive happened, I'm pretty sure they were like me, just staring at the cups, the table, his hands, trying to make some sense of anything that was happening.

[GuilhermeCarvalhoComposer]

This is one performance I've seen a ton of times and I still enjoy it. Hannibal completely aces this. The "show of hands, how many of you saw me put the orange under the cup?" is such a killer finish.

[Eloquence]

When he puts the first orange under the cup you can see it, but he is amazing at that transition. He moved the cup to his hand and put the orange in it in a single motion, allowing him to use his other hand to attract the audience's attention. It's hard to imagine being that smooth and precise while looking so casual.

[Jotto]

He's got something worth far more than the gimmicky tricks: humor and wit.

[kylechermak]

“This ball reappears here. That ball re appears here. They switch places”
I lost it 😂

[privatename]

Everyone knows how this trick is done by now, unless they're completely new to magic acts. Penn and Teller did it with clear plastic cups so you can see how it works. The joy is in watching a master perform it. It's like classical music. You know what it sounds like, but listening to it performed well is still very satisfying.

[msazal]

The guy is captivating the audience forgot to clap. I've never seen anyone like him before.

[necrocleric]

A comedian and a magician. Most magicians throw in a little comedy, but this guy masters is well.

[lulo]

"how mamy people saw me put the orange into the cup?"
Everyone: "that's a lemon"
My brain: "yes"

[austinteutsch]

This guy is really, really good. And he employs the audience in his dialogue to them. Great show. Vegas, here he comes.

[Seeker-wqjc]

Even watching this guy at a quarter of normal speed, I still can't directly see him doing things, I only see small movements which I assume to be when the changes happen. Jesus this guy is insanely good.

Also him talking about not trying to sound condescending while slowed way down is funnier than it should be.
