Brad Christian's ambitious card routine from Ninja 2 series

[wubs23]

i KNOW what moves he makes, and still i cant see them.. this guy is SO good at sleight of hand, its not even funny anymore.

[DenneyMagic]

Hey guys, come check out my try at the ambitious card routine at my channel! I only have a few videos up right now, but more are on the way!

[mipy94]

FAKE DEKS, FAKE DECK, FAKE...SLEIGHT HE'S A FAKE. just joking...if someoen knows how's a trick done they say "fake" well,,i guess they expected real magic...we might see it one day...

[sebastianjackwalton]

I WOULD SMASH HER BACK DOORS IN

[colt413]

3:09 now that is a near perfect palm!

[MegaMagicExpert]

its obviously a one way force deck. I'm better than this fool

[niralramesh]

@MegaMagicExpert bullshit ur better than brad christian you arrogant retard, if u knew anything about him he never uses fake decks

[MegaMagicExpert]

@niralramesh yeah because magicians never use gimmicks.

you tossend.

[maldobostero12]

@MegaMagicExpert i know how he does it, no fake desk

[MegaMagicExpert]

@maldobostero12 I completely disagree with. The desk is a fake. Loads of hidden compartments.

[Randobot101]

@MegaMagicExpert u know dude if u knew brad christian youd know he doesnt use fake deck he uses sleight of hand so stop thinking u know all about him

[MegaMagicExpert]

@Randobot101 He's got a fake desk, like maldobostero said.

[ps3or360idontknow]

@MegaMagicExpert if you knew how to do card tricks, you would know what sleight of hand is. type in ambitious card routine revealed.

[MegaMagicExpert]

@ps3or360idontknow You toss piece, have you looked at my channel? I do an ACR and its a fucktonne better than Brad Christians.

[ps3or360idontknow]

@MegaMagicExpert you are terrible at all of your tricks. i looked at you vids.

[MegaMagicExpert]

@ps3or360idontknow wheres your ACR then tough guy?

[MegaMagicExpert]

@ps3or360idontknow Even better than the ACR's creator, David Blaine

[DannyJosephMagic]

@MegaMagicExpert There's no fake deck, it's a mixture of double lifts. Add-Ons, one or two card changes and an invisible pass.

[superduperbiscuitman]

tutorial on this ? anyone ? please ?

[Olewastaken]

very annoying woman

[bobicemj]

why does he always show his tricks to ugly people

[MegaMagicExpert]

Check my video, pisses all over this.

[AsPnoobs]

0:29 babibubibuuu babuu

[Rocker4092]

Lol brad Christian sucks

[MastahMich]

He really needs to do a better Double Lift, it's soo obvious really.

[dookiekong007]

why are you guys having trouble with the last part? that's not hard at all.

[doomrocker666]

she's LEFT HANDED :O

[erkastimus]

i figured out most of his trick by just observing what he did, of course i knew the basics from before :)

[JoshMertens17]

i got it all figured out.. except ffor the last bit, but i can do that another way... i dont know what that change is called at 1:57.. but i can do it.. :)

[superbad123abc]

@JoshMertens17 Visual Retention Change

[JoshMertens17]

@superbad123abc thanks :) i didnt need to know the name.. but i got the whole thing figured out.. but i do a cut at the last bit.. coz im not quick enough to do what he does

[Es209]

he is not human

[chrisig0]

his website:

Ellusionist(.)com

[EllusionistDJ]

i love his "HAH!" at 1:30 LOLOL

[jjooeegg1]

With his Red hair, Pancake Makeup and Eyeliner this guys like a Carott Top wannabe. A real Creeper eewwwwww

[JesusFreak532]

The girl sounds like a mom talking to her 8 year old:D and it was almost too simple... I just dont like Brad that much.

[1biggerrynv]

You flashed the first double...

[SmallMiraclesMagic]

Not a fan of his double lift. With all the great skills Brad has, was surprised he would use that kind of double lift

[ChrisZimny]

Wow /I wanted to punch that lady in the throat.

[TheMagicman38]

i love this routine and DVD!

[doomdaydoom]

Wow that routine was really amazing and smooth :D

[hmng2piano]

i can see all his lift

[superchef78]

Golle he's good. I didn't know he was this good until now. The ONLY thing I could give as "advice" (if I feel comfortable using such a term), is that he 'works' on the double lift. The audience/spectator seemed a little too 'fake' in this one (or all of them, for that matter).

[ADMAGIC101]

This is easy and fun to do

[themagicianbryan]

haah how does he do the first one can anyone tell me:O?

aha how does he get the signed card from the bottom to the topxd?

[007savvas007]

I can do this even though i didnt buy this dvd this is simple

[Blacktigermagic1]

brad christian is a queer. wear less make up and mabye he'll look less like a drag queen

[UnknownPhantom666]

1:28 - 1:30 xD!

[manx5225]

she could act a little more shocked by the trick

[Joel0277]

i think the problem is it is scripted the best reactions r when they dont know whats gonna happen. but yes she cud have been more excited haha.

[ColinD95]

this guy is shit

[myspacedestin]

i knwo how to do the first part.lol.

[donniebravomagic]

This is shit. It is beyond shit. Every part of this performance is contrived and weak. Watching Brad Christian is like watching the host of an infomercial wax their back. Anyone who find this amusing is a zombie whose brain has been ravaged by constant mediocrity.

[theguitarhero649]

hes still amazing at it though.

[LukeWhammy]

ill tell you whose worse. blaine. i want to shoot myself listening to him speak

[MagicxNumberx7]

That chick is soooooooo annoying i hopoe someone teabags her.....

brad christian is a beast at slieghts though....but im doin a couple magic card tricks or w.e be sure to check them out and leave copmments i just started im no beast magician but acleast i dont have a annoyign chick in my vids..:D lol but anyway check out my page and leave me some suggestions thx

[cardandcoin]

@MagicxNumberx7 i agree she just talks to talk ''Ten of hearts'' thats a great card!!!

[Tyler19910531]

Nice but Daryl's version is the best !

[DavinSteidel]

dude i fucking met him in vancouver this summer i was out doing magic and he comes up and shows me one it was sweet.

[medz0]

Ok brad has used the same woman twice so obviously she is scripted the trick is good but when watching david blane i think he makes it look alot smoother with the torn and restored card

[Ellusionistninjas]

Dude... She is scripted!

Its a teaching video, called ninja 2. He uses this same woman for many performances! Wow.. and David Blaine.. dont even get me started. No presentation skills what so ever!

[MarcelvanBulck]

His handling here is brilliant, but his patter could stand to be a little more natural, in my opinion. I don't so much care for his "noises" like "Ooo..." and "Babbity babbity boo" and his different voices and such.

Also this "spectator" seems a little scripted.

[FAITALVIRUS]

brad is a very good magician in my opinion....and absolutely the best teacher!1

[TheIntenseMagic]

I agree!

[Marekview]

anyone that calls a magic dvd 'ninja' must be a tool

[TheBuddiesOfPreston]

god awful. this is dross.

[starmate]

1:32 LMAO

[ryguy740007]

That was sick!!!

[CardMadMonster]

i hate it when spectators take control of the trick

[thekingofcards]

ugh this is a horrrrible ambitious routine...

[pete2neat]

While this is a good Ambitious Card Routine. The magician Daryl does it much better. Watch Daryl's version now!

[TheIntenseMagic]

I love brad christian!

[UGGSustere]

haha i love ninja 1 and 2. he is a graet teacher and I love it more than Xtreme beginnerz and stuff. I have been doing magic for a while but I still learned a lot from these DVD's

[Stealthkill749]

buy it, dont put explaination.

[EXnitroxxxxx]

It's Brad. Do not talk anything you're not sure about

[Phenomena95]

This is a good AC Routine, and Brad is a great magician, but the woman couldent seem more paid...

[Mehar1996]

haha true

[Phenomena95]

Hi. Sorry, but i can`t see witch of my comment you answered on?

[the9thdragon]

I like how she says "I didn't think you could do it" to the president of ellusionist Magic.

[Riskibiz]

People who say fake annoy me BIG time!

However this was fake,fake and fake for all different reasons which were actually fake!

[schwesterjoy]

His techniques are very good. But all in all I don't like his version of ACR. It has no "interesting" pattern, it's just the "I make the card jump to the top and I'll let you see how it is done". Or he's just a bad performer? I'd prefer Tommy Wonder with his fantastic ringbox ending or the "charismatic Daryl.

[mentrofol]

well the version of daryl of his ambitious card dvd is magnifique XD

[CardMadMonster]

ppl who make noises really piss me off and they just sound like ' hey u wanna do "it" wit me

[EyePopper25]

these guys are freaks and they really piss me off especially that girl.

[sapoelsapo12]

gay kid

[stillerman69]

the change at 1:57 is the visual retention change. its a great move so good. i have the dvd and its so awesome. i recomend it.

[HmongZboy]

i need to get the dvd soon

[dragonitedla44]

whats that move at 1:57?

[EXnitroxxxxx]

Can't actually remember. I stopped magic few months ago, and forgot it. But he explains this move in this Ninja part.

[SuperShadowXr]

@EXnitroxxxxx isnt it the undercover switch

[MagicM8s]

That's a card change...

It's explained on Crash Course 2 ;)

[SanctumZero]

He calls it visual retention change

[viktorcizic]

you can see that he puts the card on top of the deck while the deck is turn away from her. what he does is he pushed the top card outwards, picking it up and at the same time leaving THE card on top of the deck

[dragonitedla44]

@viktorcizic i just asked for the name of the move...i know the whole trick okay...im a magician too...i know how he does every move but not the names

p.s. for me your comment appeared in my replies...idk what but if im wrong blame utube

[jbateson97]

@dragonitedla44 it's called the top change

[MRcrispy00]

@dragonitedla44 Some top change i think :-/

[TheTrueXeroXIII]

@dragonitedla44 top change

[a2thegoodwin]

@dragonitedla44 i think it might be erdnase change

[MrJackers007]

@dragonitedla44

mate its called the top change

[Irakli008]

@dragonitedla44 if you want i can give ya a tutorial (private tutorial)

[hyoshinkim7]

@dragonitedla44 its a top change mate

[jkcpalmer]

@dragonitedla44 it looks like it might be a variation of ed marlo's KM movement or (paint brush change Roy Walton) but instead of using it as a change he's using it as an unload. Bill Goodwin has a good explanation of this in reflections...

[jerrysmcnuggets]

@dragonitedla44 its basically Daryl's Flick change done face down

[joshgillespiewolf]

@dragonitedla44 top change

[ninjacarrotandmr12]

@dragonitedla44 i think its a top change

[GotchYa33]

amazing. im gonan get this DVD soon.

[Superhandz01]

fuck u tstbb

[EXnitroxxxxx]

Get lost, kid

[rsmanyo]

Brad is absolute the king. I got CC1, wich owns. I`ll order CC2 soon.

[Phenomena95]

yes, u should. it`s great

[monkey4k]

brad is king 

[abraham123abraham123]

hes like shut up bitch 1:35

[SchruteFarms69]

@abraham123abraham123 hahahahahahaha

[tstbb]

The video exposes all...

[koki41182]

double flip. put another card. double flip "switch"

[nibzy2k8]

it is pretty easy to do even i can do it

[TomStian]

Does someone know what pass he is doing at 2:50?

it looks like a herman pass but i am not sure.

[nd4speed]

I think it's just the classic pass.

[charliechip01]

its just a classic

[MagicianJohnny]

it's not a classic pass, it's a turnover pass, classic pass is done another way

[charliechip01]

lol thants not a turnover! a turnover the deck is turned over hence the name and in a turnover your using a hermaann merlin pass this is A CLASSIC PASS

[MagicianJohnny]

oh, you're right.

But it's definitely not a classic, because he takes the borrom packet and in a classic you take the top packet

[givemegold]

it is an invisible pass. which is also a classic pass, just put in angles that most likely covers the movement of the pass, even though i can see it.

[trulymagician]

they don't understand that bro...thats magician words..

[Phenomena95]

it is a scwear-upp pass.

[nibzy2k8]

invisible pass

[holyfire232]

I like the very beginning when Brad goes "babaddie booboody booooo" lol

[flamezjamez]

it looks acted

really acted

like it started off right when she said, i wanna c a trick

this is the bullshit i see ever time i wanna se chris angel or somebody do a trick

all acted shit

[lostn65]

It is acted. His acting is quite good because he's a pro that has rehearsed it thousands of times, hers is not. Still, he is a very charismatic guy, and you need to be to do magic like this. He's quite likeable and convincing.

[turpc10]

brad christian is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[berok74]

Really? Let's see: the trick is way too long. Only the acting of the girl allows him to go ahead, otherwise it would be SO boring.

Moreover he has no idea of how to take a break.

And then comes the final: nothing special. If you really want to use a standard method, better to use the pop up move: it is really an abused move but is much stronger than the card from the pocket.

Mah!

P.S. Of course he is not a rookie, he knows what he does. But to teach you must be more than the others!

[alienwareufo]

Yeah I agree with all of you guys Brad Christian Is truly amazing!!!All of his tricks are flawless!!!OMG

[Froebelv]

Not all of them are flawless i have found a few flaws in some of them.

[lostn65]

Everything comes smoothly and natural for him, the result of tens of thousands of hours poured into mastering his art. He is good.

[pauldela]

Isn't it funny that these 'STREET MAGIC' DVDs are all shot in high class houses.

What shite.

[nd4speed]

Have you seen his place? It's surprisingly awesome.

[Sillionee]

It's NINJA HOUSE MAGIC ;D

[ravenrandom]

If only the sleight i did could be that seamless...

Brad Christian= AMAZING!

[xxxVrpoljisxxx]

Can this be downloaded from torrent

[voodoobiscuit]

man that was text book execution.

if the slieghts i knew were almost impossible to detect.

[magicmaniac555]

should i get ninja 1 or 2 first? PLEASE ANSWER!!!!!

[EXnitroxxxxx]

You should get Ninja 1 first.

[Eschatonx]

Brad Christian is awesome. He's definitely one of the best people to learn from

[grahamhorgan07]

....can kinda do it with out sumone writing on it, i would just use to of the same cards, but this i really cannot find out, im doing magic with a long time now, nut never could find out this one right! thx 4 readin this, plz try help me out on this 1

[EXnitroxxxxx]

Well, it seems that you are not doin' magic for a long time, because these are one of the most easiest basics. Can't teach you - Magicians Code.

[mattmccready]

Yeah it's all intermediate level stuff that's quite easy to do but requires alot of practice to get it to look seamless.

Ellusionists Crash Course in Cards 2 is a good dvd for anyone wanting to develop an ACR.

Plus there's lots of info on the internet.

[grahamhorgan07]

can sum one please show me or explain to me how he is doing this, i know how sum of it is done, like the first part i seen the double life, i think, but i can understand how he is doing with all the time with the card has writin on it, when i clearly see it going to the bottom, the it is just at the the top, i....

[mattmccready]

Brad Christian is a good card magician!

Ok, so he isn't Mr Charisma but he's a good teacher and to be honest its nice to see a magician being himself rather than trying to be a stupid goth like Angel, a weirdo like Blaine or a "whacky goofball" like Sankey.

[EXnitroxxxxx]

Your comment is one of the best, I've ever seen about magicians. Very good!

[ratherplayguitar28]

revealrevealrevealrevealreveal­reveal

pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaasssssssssse

[santajimi]

None of those you listed are trying to be anyone. They are themselves. Thats just who they are. They even all recommend in their teaching videos that you should just be yourself.

[Sillionee]

Agreed. In opposite to EXnitros comment, I think mattmccready's comment was tottaly daft. Angel is Angel, And Blaine is definitely not a weirdo, he's just really, really laidback. And Sankey just ate speed since he could walk ;)

[saigajv]

i like all of ellusionists magic trick...oh it doesnt considerd a trick becoz it is magic..

[krazylobster]

Crack whore actresses are so much cheaper.

But seriously, it's a nice routine.

[ajp10k]

its sooooo boring to watch brad preform

[777Skeptic]

Brad's a good magican, but he just doesn't have the theatrics to go with it. Some magicans are entertainers. Some magicans are just magicans.

[santajimi]

Exactly. He´s a magician. Not a stage actor. He doesnt have to wear tights and put on a lot of make up to impress people. He just lets his magic do the impressing for him.

[Phenomena95]

he wears eye-liner in ninja 1:-P

[santajimi]

Lol. I noticed there was something funny with his eyes but ... Is that true? Lol.

[Phenomena95]

Thats eye-liner al right. I fackt, the queen of spades in the lions split spades is ment to be brad. But as far as i can see, the only differense is that it has more eye-liner.

[xMrSmarTx]

lol that female actor sounds so scripted

[geetarlover7]

they're both weird

[nyztr0m]

liked the ending

[virginiapicker]

Come on boys (and yes, it's pretty obvious that the majority of these posts come from prepubescent males), this is some good, entertaining magic, performed well. No question. The Brad bashers are showing a little insecurity, if you dig...

Christian has done a lot to get people interested in magic again, and he has a nice, relaxed presentational style. I'm grateful for what I've learned from him, and certainly don't feel the need to cast aspersions on his "DL," or some similar nonsense.

[XploiT5]

I WANNA SEE A TRICK!!!!!11

[EXnitroxxxxx]

Go ahead. Which one?
