Brad Christian is.... GAMBLING?!?!?

[LOLmanTHE]

-.- Brad chrisitan is a GREAT teacher but hes not as good as Blaine :P.

Sure hes better than angel but not Blaine.

[StretchReality]

@LOLmanTHE That makes no sense....Angel whoops blaine

[doomdaydoom]

His skills are really amazing. :D

[CARDMAN365]

I HAVE ADDICTION TO PLAYING CARDS.LOL

[gigasloth]

Brad Christian should never gamble. He would take all the money in the world and make it his.

[kcg5000]

huh?

[IVIrIVIagic]

haha nice i like how he is so good but their talking about not being addicted

[DSMtrickss]

What deck is this?

[mentrofol]

jajaja it is really cool

[Phenomena95]

is that brad?

[ColePf]

yeah it is

[trulymagician]

yeah, the founder of ellusionist..

[starringmikey]

ive think i seen this on tv before

[WiperBladez]

How come I never saw this on tv

[MrAitAliProductions]

that was random lol xD

[buzzard236]

everybody look at "fork ups a t Lewisburg" there AWESOME!!!

[StanleyMcDowall]

Because its on his site lol

[Eschatonx]

[MrAitAliProductions]

[Dizzi800]

[pownown]

Brad Christian, One of the best card handlers out there?

You made my day...

[kcg5000]

[asu2909]

nop..split spades look different

[asu2909]

what deck is that?

[judaspriestrocks4]

split spades

david blaine thought of the design i guess.

[somewhatmagic]

oh snap 0:19 <_<

[DavidAreCool]

You can see the card ^^

[LionheartL]

lol you can see the card in his right hand at :19

[Bloodlust2053]

Yeah you can see the edge of the card that he's palming. Guess even the best can slip up? Heh.

[mastercrap]

brad christian is not the best..

[FranklinReade]

I do not understand why people keep saying Brad Christian is corny. I think he is a great magician, and even though he is not as popular as Angel, or Blaine, he is still amazing at magic. After all, he is the founder of Ellusionist, and if you guys think that is cheesey, or stupid, than that is too bad. Brad Rocks.

[TobiasVKN]

what is the shuffle in the beginning called, where aal the card faal together??

[Cruz7906]

some people call it a water fall shuffle. Im not sure its actual name but all you have to do is one you farrow the deck of riffle shuffle but i find farrow is better you hold it with by your pinky and index finger in your left hand and let them fall through the gap to your right hand or vice versa.

[TobiasVKN]

Thanks!!

[magicbaris]

cool

[joecarr13]

yeh lmao 00:18

[StreetMagicTeacher]

yeah you can see him palming the 9 o' hearts

[nylonstrung]

the thing about brad that i love watching is the sense of ease and calmness with which he does his tricks, at the same time hes able to create a feeling of wonder without even talking

[camerons2]

I don't think he's the best, but he's amazing with cards. He's a great teacher and he's a great magician. Go Brad!

[co0k132]

only thing i know is that brad christian is the best card magic teacher,i mean his dvd's are awesome and he gives you details etc...

[Tobelli]

Brad Christian hasn't got any skills.. he just average

[queenrulez121]

man fuck u! brad christian is amazing! he may not be part of the more famous card magicians like blaine and angel but he sure is a hell of a lot better than them!

[StreetMagicTeacher]

actually i think that blaine is a lot better

[bmhall2]

blaine is better if you like borring, nonenthusiatic perfomances. Brad can sell a trick, like its no bodys buisness. Though I like Blaine, i think Brads a natural

[SiihNikte]

And Brad has that voice.....only hearing his voice you get enchanted

[StreetMagicTeacher]

The reason I like David Blaine is because he is from a poor background, but yet he can still be so talented at street magic. And that is why I like him better than anyone else. Anyway, Brad is third on my list, and Justin Miller is second. OH YEAH MAN, BLAINE AND MILLER ALL THE WAY. BRAD TOO!

CRISS ANGEL SUCKS by the way, he acts like person who is emo and chats up girls, which effing annoying.

[MortalKombat123]

David his tricks stun people but Brad Christian has better charisma and better card manipulation

[StreetMagicTeacher]

Dude, I agree. Brad can do flourishes darn well! Like the ribbon spread on his arm. That was pretty cool.

[Cruz7906]

Yeah i agree that Blaine is awesome and that Angel sucks something fierce. but if you put brad and justin in your top three there is something wrong there. You should check out some real magicians. Not to say that Justin isnt good i really like him but he is no Ricky Jay or Bill Malone. Now those are magicians. And if your talking about skill Dan and Dave should be up there as well.

[StreetMagicTeacher]

Criss Angel is a b*tch :D

[StreetMagicTeacher]

Nah, I don't like Ricky Jay and Bill Malone. I prefer Brad and Justin as they present their tricks in much cooler ways.

The Buck brothers? Their tricks are pretty cool to most of us here, but they are not of my liking.

[Cruz7906]

how can you say that Brad presents his trick well by any means. He is one of the corniest magicians i have ever seen. That is one thing that cant stand about most magicians. They can do the tricks well but they present it in this stereotypical way. I do agree that justin is very good and i do like his presentation, but brad? come on. just curious how long have you been doing magic?

[StreetMagicTeacher]

Brad is pretty good! How can you say he is corny? And how does he present things in a stereotypical way???? Sorry, but I don't understand this particular question. And how long have I been doing magic? Well, let's say that I have been interested when I was 13.

[Cruz7906]

He is ok with his technique and can do the tricks well but if you watch things like ninja ,he is just corny. Things like "i took this womans credit card and i was like 'bing'" and he does the tenkai. come on. Thats what i mean about stereotypical way. People that dont like magicians dont like them because of things like this. Magician need to be good with people and that is what makes a good magician great. In ninja he gets such little reaction because he doesnt present his tricks well to laymen

[StreetMagicTeacher]

Well, sometimes, yes. But I don't think Brad is corny in this video......

[Cruz7906]

well i was just speaking in general terms. he doesnt talk in this video. But at the same time he doesnt do anything difficult either. Im not saying that he is a bad card worker, im just saying that i dont like his presentation. and while he may be a decent card mechanic i dont think that it is enough to call him a "top" magician. Just my opinion. Do you perform magic? that is what i ment by "how long have you been doing magic". Just curious.

[StreetMagicTeacher]

I don't perform magic for my friends, but I do so for family members. I am not the type who likes to make friends here and there. What 'bout you, man?

[Cruz7906]

ok cool.i do perform... some restaurant stuff but ive also done some parties. I've only been doing or interested in magic for a year, but i practice about 4 hours a day and over the summer around 7 or 8. all cards.

[StreetMagicTeacher]

Nice.

[StreetMagicTeacher]

Hey do you know the ShapeShifter?

[Cruz7906]

yeah y

[StreetMagicTeacher]

coolest card change on earth, dont you think? desouza's a genius

ego change is second in terms of how visual it is, in my opinion

[magictruitt]

well, Ed Marlo's snap change is the best in my book, it got me a gig on tv.

also, the window change by Jeff Mcbride is my seconed favorite,

no matter how good i do the shapeshifter, people figure it out anyway, so i stopped doing it.

(But deffinetly check out the window change)

[pacoduck1234]

snap change sucks everyone figures it out since you are left with a different grip

[Phenomena95]

It`s Named The Shapeshifter

[pacoduck1234]

I was talking about the comment that says the snap change is the best you dumbass

[Phenomena95]

Ok, sorry. But i think the snap change has to bad angles

[hellbound102]

@Phenomena95 if you mean the angles on it are too bad for performing, then nah, i use it all the time when performing its just a matter of how you hold the card....

[madskills3]

Retard, I mean Cruz7906. You have to remember that he's better than you. It's not your fault you can't understand that.

[Cruz7906]

haha that is the stupidest comment ive ever heard. So because im not better than a magician i cant have a negative opinion about them?! wow. So if i see a really bad movie that means that i cant say its bad because i cant make one better? Trust me if i had the same amount of years in magic i would be better. i garentee that. I also wanna note that all of your favorites are full of Criss Angel and Brad, so that right there shows you have no idea what good magic is.

[bicyclemagik]

what r u talking about? blaine is a great magician. brad christian is a dork. i hate how he presents things. like the way he does the black ghost commercial. i can see why he works for ellusionist- because he's a marketing genius. because hes so full of bullshit. and a shitty magician.

[Genesis6496943]

Are you smoking something? You think Blaine - a mediocre card worker and a terrible "magician" - is better? You MUST be on crack. Blaine would be no one if a TV producer - who had NEVER seen REAL magic before - saw Blaine. If Brad had been there at the same time and same place, everyone would know him and Blaine would still be nothing.

Brad Christian is 100x the magician Blaine will ever be.

[Genesis6496943]

That comment is to bicyclemagik by the way.

[StreetMagicTeacher]

Dude, NO OFFENSE, but are YOU smoking or something?! Tell you what, Blaine is 200X the STREET MAGICIAN Brad will be.

P.S. You know how hard it is to do the double lift that Blaine does? Betcha 200 bucks that Brad can't do Blaine's double lift.

[Cruz7906]

Are you smoking something? The reason why blaine is known is because of his presentation. He presents things excellently! and he is extremely good with cards. Yeah i know all of the slights that hes doing but i cant see them. And the way he presents tricks as "real magic" is what makes him great. Brad is corny as shit and is not by any means that great. His presentation is awful and thats why know one (other than magicians) knows his name.

[dvlkcc]

well he is gay.

[pur3kashif]

hey that was the ad that he was talkin about in hovercard

[magicsk8a]

u can see 10 of dimes in hisright hand! pause and look closely (18)

[ukats123]

[roxasfinatic]

When he vanishes a card you can actually see the card edge. Its at 00:18

[tazokika]

[frasorto]

I didint see brad christian

[magicmacho101]

[98rockthestation]

[dimabbq]

Oz and Brad are both great! Ive seen more of Oz but i dont dislike Brad...

[dvlkcc]

Brad Christian is gay.

[magichristo]

hey hey hey! hes not gay you idiot bastard. hes a wonderful magician. and you are not better than him so **** you your******* bastard ************.

[baseballfire]

[magicmacho101]

[OYISGEN]

[Grimpulsive]

SOMEBODY GET ME ANOTHER DEALER NOW!

[wolfsam12]

That was kinna cool - Big let down with the tenkai

[monka6]

[klala42]

the vanishing card is another variation of the vanish card, or sumthing like that, it is a good trick too

[magicbird05]

oooo so that's what the commercial is about

[MessengerOfGod]

Im spanish and I cant understand all the spot. Can someone transcript it?

[koffie15]

great commercial but with the tenkai angle you can see the card in tenkai

[grudge10]

i love dat vanishing card wit tenkai

[grudge10]

dat was a sick ass comercial

[magicianmike1234]

Wow pretty cool a few bad angles but still good!
