I love how his climax is always a deeply possible thing that you end up cheering for: Putting a cigarette the correct way round in his mouth / opening up a hand with no salt left in it.
@@PDeRophe is both I dont think only mentioning the one thing is dismissive when it's pretty obvious it took years and years of practice calling him a genius doesnt imply otherwise. Not trying to be rude or anything. I understand this position more when it comes to talent vs skill because ability without practice is the definition of talent
I love the whole idea of the trick going wrong being the trick itself. He blends it so seamlessly and makes it look effortless. The awkwardness of the initial "mistake" suddenly making way for the mind blowing nature of some of these routines is amazingly well put together. Masterful work.
Back when I was doing magic I always tried to fit in some comedy. It takes awhile to find the beats and timing but is actually easier with a small audience since you can see a read them for when to time things.
I love Mario and his unique magic, when I first saw the salt routine I was floored, I re watched it for weeks! He is so natural and innocent. In an interview he said he loved to clown around and be clumsy with magic. He is an absolute genius!
Mario is so phenomenal. He has this Lennart Green style of messy, sloppy magic that makes the tricks hit so much harder because the audience expects it even less, and they also have NO idea what is going to come next. While you can feel those inspirations, his style is so unique still. He almost has this "I'm cursed" type of thing about him, where he's just trying to get through life but magical things keep happening that he can't control. Like a first-year at Hogwarts trying to learn how to control their powers or something. So fun.
I love Lennart Green! His laser disappearing card trick blew my mind as a kid and was one of the first difficult tricks I ever mastered, loved doing it for my classmates back in highschool ppl lost their minds 😄
My favorite thing about Mario’s performances is I can’t really tell if it’s more magic or comedy. It flip flops between them so seamlessly. You get to the end and you almost forget what he was originally intending to do, because you are so drawn in by what he’s actually doing.
He's definitely figured out his act quite well and adding comedy, instead of relying purely in the awe factor, I believe is what keeps me coming back for more. The bottomline is Its entertaining as hell to watch.
I discovered Mario years ago and immediately fell in love with his act(s). Since then I have dug into every corner of the universe for more. Appreciate you putting this video up. This man needs more spotlight on his talents (even though he sounds modestly shy)
I love routines where the misdirection is primarily controlled chaos. Just constantly talking and moving their hands in seemingly flustered but not over-the-top ways. It's impressive how controlled he is. It's a great example of how a magic routine is so much more about how you present it and not the trick itself.
This was so much fun to watch! This guy is a master of performance, blending comedy and magic in a very unique way. The salt trick absolutely got to me.
As Penn said, " I can't believe I was fooled by a nipple" lol Mario is amazing the first time I ever saw him was in your channel a long time ago and have been a fan ever since. Mario if you see this you bring joy and wonder to a lot of people.
Absolutely brilliant. Mario is just so entertaining; I was laughing so much at the salt routine. And I understand the whole not wanting to put the effort in to maintain social media. It takes so much energy!
WOW! Thanks for sharing this Ramsey! Mario's greatest feat of wizardry is his ability to conjure JOY out of thin air and spread it around the world. A true blessing! Love it.
This was amazing, I seriously couldn't stop laughing with the cigarette switching ends routine and the endless salt. Absolute genius! Thanks Mario and Chris.
He is incredible. He has an air of wonder about him during his performances that is very entrancing. Even the "confusion" and gags are so entertaining to watch.
I love Mario and I’ve seen plenty of his material. Haven’t been heavily involved in magic over the last couple of years, but he’s such a joy. The best thing I can say is that he’s absolutely a joy to watch. Especially when you haven’t see his magic before it’s so frantic yet beautiful. He is an INCREDIBLE performer.
I watched so many videos of him, I can't get enough of him! I recently watched a video of him at a _[some country]_ has Talent show and when he did the trick where he makes his nipple disappear, 2 judges were so offended and immediately pressed the X button. Fortunately, the other 3 judges liked him and he got 3 out of 5 votes.
Amazing preformer, such a refreshing talent and personality. Def a throw back, my fav performer in this space. Doing his own original performances instead of the same regurgitated magic we see over and over and over again on these shows. With the "mentalism and "mind reading". Or same card trick you referenced in your intro.
Another of those amazing Magicians from Spain. They seem to be on a level above the rest of the world. Every Magician from Spain has fooled Penn and Teller. I even heard Penn admit it one time when he said they should just automatically give them the trophy as soon as they walk out on stage.
Thank you for just introducing my mind to a genius. I love this guy's skill and technical movements mixed with slapstick humor it was beautiful to watch. And to see old-school brought back in a whole other level. I was just astonishingly hooked to see what he was going to do next.
I figured out why the "salt" goes on so long. It's a powder blend, possibly a baking powder and baby powder blend. It lasts a lot longer and it is why it leaves his hand white. He leaves multiple dissolvable packets on his body that he uses to replenish it in his hand when he touches hidden parts of his cloths, like his pocket or the side of his shoe. The rest is obviously activatable tubes.
I adore Spanish magician Mario López. His acts are always so fun. Also, is it just me, or does the one Romanian hype man in the black shirt look almost exactly like Aaron Paul? I swear for a moment I was like "I didn't know Aaron Paul speaks Romanian." Realizing that he wasn't actually Aaron Paul might have been the part of this sequence that fooled me the most. The old Aaron Paul transposition effect.😅
great video. i've seen him before and he's gotta be one of my favorite magicians i've seen. it's not just the magic even though the magic is top notch. it's the entertainment value. he's definitely in my top 5 easily he's not just a magician. he's an entertainer and when you put those things together, you get a top notch class act every single time. i could watch him all day....
Great performer, reminded me off the great Tommy Cooper a bit whom also did a lot of "clumsy" magic. He died on stage while doing a routine and the audience laughed believing it was a part of his routine. would be nice if you could do a video on him, a true legend. keep these cool videos coming, Love you man!
I love when people big up and respect their peers and don't make the audience/fans feel like they have to choose 1 or the other bc a lot of people feel like they have to put other people down in order to make their selves stand out
The almost Andy Kaufman-like ability to just let it rest in that uncomfortable awkwardness IMO makes the payoff so much greater. It builds just like anticipation does or like music crescendo in a horror film. IMO it takes a trick that is amazing in it's own right it makes it unforgettable, not just because of how amazing it was to watch, but the myriad of emotions it made you feel along the way. It plays to you on multiple levels. Genius.
I have the luck to work as a light technician at a venue that has a monthly magic show. Last year we had Mario Lopez and Manuel Munoz as guests. That was so good.
The nervous attitude, the casual yet flawless execution, the befuddled looks as everything appears to be spiraling out of control - fantastic blend of comedy and magic. 🤣
He's so natural at handling any reaction and the perception of every element he's doing.whether it's the trick, the prop, his face, his body etc. This man's a magic genius, God level, the kind of magician that enyone can enjoy and laugh at and be amazed by because he's doing original and stylish stuff that's not just the same old cheesy trick. Also, Jesse Pink man's there blown away. 🤯🤣😂
I am so appreciative that magic still happens. Thank you magicians for making the impossible happen and making us believers in the extraordinary again!
Chris, this was great! I’d love to see your reaction to Dani Daortiz’s routine from Penn and Teller: Fool Us! I watched it the other day and it blows my mind!
Dahm... I just love you Chris for what you present. We all know Mario's amazing, so thank you for putting it out there for all to see. I know I still haven't heard back from you about an effect I created, might be worth taking time checking out. Let me know! Don't stop doing what you're doing :-)
Even if you know how it's done he can make it so much fun with who he is and what he does to the trick. Smoke a banana, endless salt? Variations and presentations, such true magic.
Love you!!!
you are really nice dude! really funny and cool. you look like the young johnny depp.
I've spent HOURS playing with a cigarette trying to figure out even one step of what you do, sir.
Mario you're an inpiration to us, I've been watching your stuff for a while now and of course Chris made a video on you, keep up the good work (:
Love you Mario!
Dude, you are incredible. Do you actually have magic powers like teleportation and transmutation?
I love how his routines always start off making you skeptical of his abilities then go into the deep end of impossibility
Well stated! Great magic.
Many people do that its a style, like drunken master.
@@maciejgorski6981 That's a great comparison, love it! I'm gonna use that!
I love how his climax is always a deeply possible thing that you end up cheering for: Putting a cigarette the correct way round in his mouth / opening up a hand with no salt left in it.
He is such a genius at his presentation. One of my favorite Magicians. That salt one gets me every time I see him do it.
I refuse to believe that's a trick it looked fair af it's more plausible he sold his soul to the devil
I do not like the word genius. It dismisses so much of the years of practice, that he did. How about : incredibly skilled?
@@PDeRophe is both I dont think only mentioning the one thing is dismissive when it's pretty obvious it took years and years of practice calling him a genius doesnt imply otherwise.

@@PDeRop That's such a fucking stupid take lol. The man is a genius, don't take away from his brilliance by calling him anything less.
@@Fitz1993 it makes people think, that it’s only birth. Holy shit is it not.

Reminds me of Jack Sparrow

It also helps with the skeptics, because at the end of the day, you no longer care about how it's done.

Someone said Mario Lopez’s magic is like a wizard who’s not completely in control of his powers and I can’t describe it better. Expertly done
This was so much fun to watch! This guy is a master of performance, blending comedy and magic in a very unique way. The salt trick absolutely got to me.

Thanks Mario and Chris.
He’s so freaking good. Love “street” level performances
I love that his routines basically bring back the sheer wonder in to seeing a magic show. Just Brilliant. Thankyou for sharing
Mario is an absolute master! Love this, and YES, definitely do more of these!
He is incredible. He has an air of wonder about him during his performances that is very entrancing. Even the "confusion" and gags are so entertaining to watch.

I think the best thing about Mario is hes so genuine and authentic in his act.
Even through the terrible tv directing who tried to miss EVERY SINGLE BEAT his magic struck me hard! Mario López you are a true genius!

I love the female judge because that’s the kind of wonder and confusion and joy you went to see when you show someone magic. It was so wholesome
Ha! I love that quick opener with the hat - RRtCM classic with more modern hat. Well done!
Hes amazing. I love when they are so good that the simplest concepts can be made to be magical
This brought me back to the channel after a long time of clicking on other stuff instead. Glad to be back man! I'd love more of these vids.

Love the humor, dude has multiple skills he blends perfectly!
Oh, nice!! I am looking forward to seeing some more of Mario's magic on your channel! Top tier! 👍 Thank you guys for scouring, so I don't have to! Lol
completely distracted by "Abraca Dumbass" in the background 🤣🤣 Love your videos
Hands down one of the greatest at performing tricks with subtle moves and creating grand illusions with almost no major props.
I love when people big up and respect their peers and don't make the audience/fans feel like they have to choose 1 or the other bc a lot of people feel like they have to put other people down in order to make their selves stand out
Yup. Been a huge fan of Mario for years. So unique and inspiring. Good summary.

"Alright, that's enough..." 🤣🤣🤣
I love Mario so much. He's probably my favorite magician.
I have the luck to work as a light technician at a venue that has a monthly magic show. Last year we had Mario Lopez and Manuel Munoz as guests. That was so good.
He sees magic through a child's eyes 😁 amazing to watch and to see him smile
I've loved Mario ever since I saw him do the cigarette flipping around magic trick, awesome work!
Outstanding! 👏👏👏👏
WOW, the red blue green cards were fantastic
The nervous attitude, the casual yet flawless execution, the befuddled looks as everything appears to be spiraling out of control - fantastic blend of comedy and magic. 🤣
I love mario’s performance bcoz it’s always like the magic itself is going against him. Its hilarious and impossible at the same time. Legend.
i just love him, he is just living it!
commenting before I even watch, Mario's routine with the cigarette is my favorite bit of magic of all time.
yes please more vids like this. i love seeing what my fav creators idols are
🎉I liked as soon as I saw my card fly out😂 your card tricks keep evolving
Yay, Mario !! Wish I could find that video where he produces a joint from a quit-smoking(?) gimmick...
I love the Collab of the bicycle playing cards ♠️♦️♠️♦️♠️
Love your content ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤠
He’s amazing Mario is 👌👏👏
Mario Lopez never fails to make me laugh AND gasp!
He's so natural at handling any reaction and the perception of every element he's doing.whether it's the trick, the prop, his face, his body etc. This man's a magic genius, God level, the kind of magician that enyone can enjoy and laugh at and be amazed by because he's doing original and stylish stuff that's not just the same old cheesy trick.
Also, Jesse Pink man's there blown away. 🤯🤣😂
I am so appreciative that magic still happens. Thank you magicians for making the impossible happen and making us believers in the extraordinary again!
What a "turning" preformance ! soo clean =)
Love Mario ! His style, magic, performance ! I’m gutted that I wasn’t allowed in to see his lecture at Blackpool MC last year !
Him and Piff the Magic Dragon are my two favorites. Piff isn't nearly as skilled in magic as Mario is, but they're both top tier entertainers!
ahahahahahaha piff the magic dragon is one of the best hand magicians
Just the alright that's enough for today killed me
The deadpan laugh is what gets me, Mario's a master of his clown-craft
This was real art. not just magic tricks. Hloy cow... amazing!
Definitely you bring best content Definitely continue bringing them , Mario is awesome!!! Thank you both , inspiring me to continue card tricks
I just saw the original video last night, amazing!
Have always loved Mario since I first saw him. Getting a chance to meet him & attend one of his lectures was one of the highlights of FISM for me.
Yes Mario is a real life wizard, I love seeing his acts
Loved how he tricked the whole staff to actually smoke on stage
Mario is my favorite, his energy is fantastic
Got a like for the hat trick alone.
I love that magician, so funny and cool
Super cool... Love Mario!!!
And dope opening trick too Chris!!! More from you also!! 👊
I’m so glad I stumbled across this channel, if I hadn’t I’d have missed Mario Lopez. Such a natural magician.
man i love this dude, simply amazing. would love to know the actual mechanics of these tricks, especially the salt. incredible.
the drink and mug on the right at 9:25 🤣
.
Cheers for showing Mario
Great magic.
Yea sir!! He’s unbelievably talented. So playful and enjoyable with his craft! Will definitely search him out in any fashion! That’s Chris 😎😂
Chris, this was great! I’d love to see your reaction to Dani Daortiz’s routine from Penn and Teller: Fool Us! I watched it the other day and it blows my mind!
He did do that. Look at his recent videos and you can find it
More videos like this! Introduce some of us casual magic fans to these amazing magicians!! Love your work Ramsey !!
Dahm... I just love you Chris for what you present. We all know Mario's amazing, so thank you for putting it out there for all to see. I know I still haven't heard back from you about an effect I created, might be worth taking time checking out. Let me know! Don't stop doing what you're doing :-)
I love this guys style of magic
BRO MY BRAIN HURTS 🤕🤣🤣🤣. This man is a Straight up Wizard
Yes, more of these videos!
Mario is absolutely amazing! Fun, messy, but so perfect!
Mario is a magical circus clown. All his tricks have that element of fun.
Go for it, seeing unique ways is always interesting to watch.
Even if you know how it's done he can make it so much fun with who he is and what he does to the trick. Smoke a banana, endless salt? Variations and presentations, such true magic.
This guy is genius i love him, that way wich he deliver that " magic " trick is awesome.
That laugh after you flicked the card out of the hat was soooo French 0:34
Much luv bro happy new year. Love your content. Hope that all is well with you. Sending good vibes from Oakland, CA
I love this man so much. Chris is pretty cool too.
I’m so glad you bring attention to Mario! He’s incredibly talented!
Love these videos!
