Grown ass man sitting at my desk crying because a man on the internet told a simple but beautiful story of love, mystery and magic and made me believe in all 3 of them at the same time. God bless you man, the world needs you and more people like you.
Right now, at my desk, tears in my eyes. What an unbelievable moment he created. I wish that making that emotional connection was more common in this field: what Hannibal does here elevates the art form and leaves adults walking away from a magic show feeling like a kid again.
I've seen some of the best magicians but so many of them seem emotionless. The interaction with the crowd here really brings a new level to the magic tricks.
@@HannibalSpeaks The funny thing is, it seems to me that your art is love. I've seen quite a few videos now and i loved every bit of them, you are amazing :)!
Being a fan of stage "magic" I've seen lots of tricks. Cards, coins, cups, etc. Different performers do things differently, some suck and some are grand. But never have I seen a man do something so simple, yet so very beautiful as this performance. Thank you, really.
Again, what a gift. Thanks man. Really powerful combo of story telling, inspirational and magic, which is in itself almost secondary. This is transcending magic into the realm of art and human connection. Your kids must feel so much spoiled with you as their dad!
my dad is a magician so i kind of am one too. learned his tricks since i was a child. i am 31 now and allways look through yt and other stuff just to see new routines. and still, i know how the most tricks are done, there is one of a thousand who can amaze me just by the way they interact with the crowd and keep your eyes awai from the trick simply by telling a nice story. you sir a one of my favorite! (sorry for bad english. not my first.)
RUclips randomly recommended your channel to me and I've just been sitting here binging videos of your acts for two hours now. You're an incredible magician, a wonderful storyteller, and funny as hell, but what I'm taking away from this is that if more people took their gifts and used them to spread love like you do, the world would be a much happier place, so thank you for that, and I hope that the love and joy you've spread to others comes back to you in full.
You just have everything; the sleight of hand, misdirection, comedy, captivating, genuinely heartwarming. Even throwing in some philosophy. You're pure solid gold.
I'm sucking at life right now. I'm coming on 35 years of age, recently diagnosed autistic (so THAT'S why I'm weird, lol!), fumbling around through this pandemic like I'm some kind of droid waiting to be rebooted and then this Hannibal guy happens to me and... well, let's just say I desperately want him to come to the UK so I can see his show! He's not just a magician, he's a brilliant entertainer and a good soul! I saw a pandemic video of his where he talks about baking bread and giving food he's made away to strangers who are struggling and I've watched a few more besides. The world needs you, Hannibal... especially at a time like this! Hang tight in there buddy, you're an antidote!!!
As one wise Wizard once said. “Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it.” This man knows what he's doing. Just had a wonderful evening, stumbling across your Magic. Thanks :)
In a time, where everybody seems to have to rush and most people have the attention span of 2 minutes max, you know how to truly captivate your audience - both live and on screen. Your synchronization is truly amazing: your voice complements your action. It is a pleasure to know that there are still people like yourself, that know how to entertain and to touch the lives of others by merely doing what they are good at. I salute you, kind sir.
I have watched a lot of magicians in 50 plus years and I have to say your style and your storytelling ability combine to make an impossibility a reality. I find myself not caring about solving the trick, but rather the message that comes from the story. This in my humble opinion is what puts you at the very top of a very crowded field of great, talented magicians. Thank you!
Only about 30% of magic is the actual trick itself. The other 70% is the showmanship, the masterful presentation of the trick, engaging your audience. This is a perfect example of brilliant, flawless presentation.
What a beautiful story. Not the story of the cobbler and the elves, but a story made for people to share and remember. ...I legit teared up. Thank you for sharing that. You're amazing.
chirs I just wanted to say you are probably my favorite magician, I've seen alot of sleight of hand over the past few years but my God man you are just so personable and loveable
This is special. I'm only seeing this magical performance over three years after it has been done. The mixture of comedy, beautiful story telling, and great magic... Just awesome! Thank you for your time, patience, and effort... even if it is many years later. May you and your family have many blessings. 😊 🍀 ☮
You sir, bring magic to our beautiful state and beyond. Your ability to make us believe in magic is more than just coins and cards and an old bowler hat, it's deeper. I have never been moved to tears by an act until I saw yours in this clip. You make Us NC hillbillies proud!
With other magicians it feels like they communicate with their audience just to make their tricks go smoother and look better (and that is fine). But with this guy, it feels as if his tricks (that are still great) are just a complement to his awesome chemistry with the audience (and I love that)!
These performances leave me in awe every time. They are just truly inspirational and touching along with all of the flare that magic is supposed to carry. Beautiful show.
This was such an amazing video, magic, amazing storytelling, and a motivational speech at the end. "What we have right now is this moment" Words to live by! Thank you Hannibal, I love your audience interactions and your magic, you are truly one of a kind, thank you!
What a class act. It is super refreshing to see a true showman who is a master at his craft, connect with his audience personally in an entertainment industry that has become so focused on profit and not making something truly worth remembering.
I've seen David Copperfield twice and the way Hannibal engages with the audience while performing truly amazing illusions is the best I've ever seen. Keep up the good work sir!
Just an internet wanderer lucky enough to stumble on a video like this... with a heartwarming story, told with sincerity by a talented magician... A big hug from Brazil!
I know this is an old video but I just found you and you're absolutely astonishing. What I love about you is how you care about the crowd and it's really nice to see a breath of fresh air. Your speeches make me tear up and your jokes make me laugh till I wheeze and your sleight of hand never ceases to amaze me. Please keep on being you.
Sooooo. This is probably my third or fourth video of yours I've seen and i can already tell you have earned yourself another well deserved subscriber. And ill be sure to rope in a few more!
this story has warmed my heart like no other. thank you Hannibal (and youtube recommendations) for this gift in this trying time that 20 20 has become!
Certainly touched my heart. I can figure out the tricks but your story got to me deeper than the act itself. What you wove was truly magic. I was immersed. Wish I could hear you at a campfire telling this story. Amazing sir.
Thank you very much, sir. I remember this story from when I was a little child. This made me remember it. It used to be one of my favourite stories, and now it is again.
That was excellent - I hope the magic of possibility conveyed here will stick with me... ..and to everyone else that watches. Feels good. Thank you for that. All the very best to you for providing it for us.
I'm not gonna lie, the performance and craftsmanship to the magic here is beyond anything I've seen People know the stuff you do are tricks. You Sir, turned the tricks into true magic. Thank you.
You incorporated your act into the story and here sitting and listening, there is no way to tell which from which. That is what people seek in game developing, that is what people imbue in literature, it is most definitely what children feel when they listen to the first words and cannot separate meaning from sound. You, sir, did much more than your show. You were a living example of storytelling. And as the dedicatory on my undergrad final assignment says: "To those who tell stories, for besides sex, it is the most ancient ritual of humanity." Thank you, sir. Thank you very much.
You sir are an inspiration to all. Your positivity, your looks on life, just the way you set a moral for a story it's just all amazing and I love it. Thank you for giving me new looks on life. Keep it up you'll go farther then you'll ever dream!
Dear Mr. Hannibal, your magic is truly something out of this world. I've been binge-watching your videos since discovering you earlier today. You are so talented - the way you engage with the audience, the way you perform the trick, and the way you put it all together in such a meaningful, funny, entertaining way. Thank you so very much for your work, I hope I can watch you live one day. Wishing you the best.

That ending... It was the very moment when "just" tricks turned into magic. Thanks :)
NoIdea ForNick thank YOU
Yes. A story combined with a magic trick will stay with you longer than the trick itself. Beautiful.
Should call that one, "Hannibal's Cat".
Grown ass man sitting at my desk crying because a man on the internet told a simple but beautiful story of love, mystery and magic and made me believe in all 3 of them at the same time. God bless you man, the world needs you and more people like you.
Thank you ... I'm so glad my story reached you.
Right now, at my desk, tears in my eyes. What an unbelievable moment he created. I wish that making that emotional connection was more common in this field: what Hannibal does here elevates the art form and leaves adults walking away from a magic show feeling like a kid again.
same here right now... It seems to me that the power of wisely chosen words are the real magic.
Right there with those feels, this story was beautiful
I thought I was the only one
I've seen some of the best magicians but so many of them seem emotionless. The interaction with the crowd here really brings a new level to the magic tricks.
For me the connection with the audience is what it's all about.
Love how hes still here liking comments, even from a four year old video. A true entertainer, I'm happy we have good people like him in this sad world
I'm such a lucky man to be able to be here, showing you the art that I love. I'm grateful for all the comments.
@@HannibalSpeaks The funny thing is, it seems to me that your art is love. I've seen quite a few videos now and i loved every bit of them, you are amazing :)!
"Why stop there?"
Sad world. But not without you. Hope. What have you done, lately?
Watching this in 2020 it restored my faith in humanity.
Must not have taken much to lose it in the first place, then.

"Y'ALL AIN'T GONNA BELIEVE THIS"
What happens two generations after "Y'all Watch This"

A true Showman!

Amazing trick and even more beautiful story.

The real magic is your gift to touch the hearts and lives of your audience and I gotta say its amazing.
3 years later and I sit here with tears in my eyes. That was beautiful.
Really amazing showmanship, and the tricks just sparkled with magic
Not just your tricks, your sound,your stories,your jokes,how you talk to your guests all these gets togather it makes magic.Thank you ...
As one wise Wizard once said. “Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it.”

Thank you for sharing that. You're amazing.
Every time I see this, I get chills. Quite possibly my favorite piece of magic ever.
Merry Christmas, Mr. Hannibal.
Good catch
@@HannibalSpeaks I swear I just found this video and I'm his number one fan because of the song choice... And all the other epicness
@@MrRafabro David Sylvian and Ruitchie Sakamoto? Loved Japan back in the 80s. Found this act today.
@@michaellavery4899 I think Ryuichi is my favourite composer
@@MrRafabro Sorry for the poor spelling of his name. I only know of his early collaborations with Sylvian but will do some more searching.
Turning a story into not only a performance of wonder but also a moment of inspiration and beauty, it is truly impressive!
i started learning magic just because of you men i m really a huge fan of you !! you are just great i wish you the best of luck
Wow... now this is something very special. Thank you for sharing this.
chirs I just wanted to say you are probably my favorite magician, I've seen alot of sleight of hand over the past few years but my God man you are just so personable and loveable
James Foster you're very kind. Thank you, I'm glad I brought you some joy.
Not only are your tricks phenomenal, but the way you command the stage and audience is quite something
This man is something special....The world is too lucky to have you man... Much love to you and your family hope you all stay happy and healthy...
I have hit the motherload! This is so good. Bless this mans soul!
This is special. I'm only seeing this magical performance over three years after it has been done. The mixture of comedy, beautiful story telling, and great magic... Just awesome! Thank you for your time, patience, and effort... even if it is many years later. May you and your family have many blessings. 😊 🍀 ☮
It may be 4am but that was the most charming and awe inspiring story. I just wish I could be there in person right now, with someone
That fool us penn and teller show is great, but that is just so far above and beyond. Truly perfect.
You sir, bring magic to our beautiful state and beyond. Your ability to make us believe in magic is more than just coins and cards and an old bowler hat, it's deeper. I have never been moved to tears by an act until I saw yours in this clip. You make Us NC hillbillies proud!

Thank you for making me smile and cry a bit. Beautiful Performance!
That ending man. I've recently found you and watched a couple vids. One of the best showman I've ever seen.
I get completely drawn in by this man's speech and performance. Awesome trick, awesome story, and an awesome man!
I discovered this channel today, this video has something, a pure magic that makes you stop for a minute. Such an amazing show.
I got goosebumps listening to those beautiful stories. Amazing.
Just discovered this genius yesterday and have been binge watching his videos... he's addicting!
Sir, that was amazing!
I truly enjoy watching your shows. The way you present them makes them so enjoyable and memorable.
Thankyou.
Awesome stuff. I can't believe I just started seeing these videos yesterday. One of the most entertaining performers I've seen.
Just randomly recommended vid on RUclips makes me smile with tears in my eyes
Just wonderful. Thank you for this.
I truly love your magic stories.
I'm a simple man. I hear "Heart of Asia" (song at the end), I like. Amazing story as well.
Amazing dexterity and an incredible showman.
These performances leave me in awe every time. They are just truly inspirational and touching along with all of the flare that magic is supposed to carry. Beautiful show.
Thank you so much!
Beautiful presentation. Love your work.
This was such an amazing video, magic, amazing storytelling, and a motivational speech at the end. "What we have right now is this moment" Words to live by! Thank you Hannibal, I love your audience interactions and your magic, you are truly one of a kind, thank you!
I am addicted to your videos. Not just the tricks but more importantly your story telling and the way you connect with your audience.
The most beautiful closer to a show i have ever witnessed
Great magician, and a beautiful Trick.
The best magicians are also amazing storytellers. You sir are a superb example of this.
I'm simply lost for words. Eight of the most magical minutes of my life.
I'm so glad youtube decided to recommend me your videos today. This has been a wonderful journey of bingeing your magic.
Your videos made me realize the true meaning of magic.
Thank you
What a class act. It is super refreshing to see a true showman who is a master at his craft, connect with his audience personally in an entertainment industry that has become so focused on profit and not making something truly worth remembering.
Whenever I watch your videos i feel like a child again. Thanks for what you're doing!

You are the man! Very entertaining and happy. I am so grateful I can see your magic! Keep it up!
Where has this guy been!! He's freaking amazing and such a wonderful showman! I don't know why i haven't seen him before...shame on me!
Not only is this a cool magic trick, but it’s also a valuable life lesson to carry on. Absolutely loved it :)

Powerful words, thank you!
Somewhere in the world, Hannibal inspired yet another person. God bless man, no one tells a story quite like you my friend. Godspeed
That was really beautiful, I loved it.
Love your quick wit.
This video brought a tear to my eye, thank you for making something so beautiful.

This guy is awesome to watch....I wish he could magic up some happy times... because we are fast running out of them in 2020....keep on Hannibal
Ow! I am in awe.

Brother, thank you. You sir, are wonderful.
Absolutely hilarious as well as being amazing at magic, we need more people like you in this world!
I can't believe how hard this hit me. You're a blessing, man. Thank you.
Hannibal, this may be the single best magic performance I've seen. Bravo.
Thank you, BDC!
