I Went to The World Championship of MAGIC!! (FISM 2022)

thank you [Music] come on [Music] there's no way [Music] always [Music] [Music] oh [Music] take three good morning i haven't done one of these in a very long time welcome back i am currently in quebec city for the the olympics of magic essentially fism stands for festival literally the olympics are magic it happens every three years this year it happens to be happening three hours from my place so i thought i'd check it out uh there's over 2500 magicians in attendance plus 150 competitors there's people competing like stage close-up all this so hopefully i get to show you what some of that looks like they also have a dealer's room which is kind of fun what that is is a place where uh magicians sell magic tricks to basically anyone who has a badge so that's pretty cool i'll show you what that looks like as well let me show you this airbnb it's pretty dope i'll take you on a quick tour and then we're headed to physics this is my room pretty nice kind of already a mess there's dog's boy roxy oh look at this sexy beast alex's room there's another bedroom there but let me show you the best part you got the living room and then outside check this out bruh we got a little balcony there that view come on these things are cannons to defend and protect the city hey doug what's up just telling them about the uh the cannons that are here to protect the city you mean these guys by the way this is the official deck of fism the fism playing card deck uh somebody on instagram asked me if i could review this not sure about the quality of these i can open them up real quick we shall see about the quality okay straight out of the box uh they smell weird but they feel okay for now they do smell weird you smell these dude a little disappointed with the back design i thought the back design was going to be more like something like that and they have like the words on it those are the jokers they're actually great not bad but probably nicer in the box i don't know let's give you some coffee um all right let me be honest here for a second i haven't given up on magic um you've probably noticed in the last couple years the direction of my channel has been shifting a little bit to more it's puzzles more than magic and that isn't because i'm not interested in magic anymore but i have been able to hang out with magicians go to conventions or really be inspired by magic much until this week i met some of the most amazing people i've ever met my life and they're also some of the most amazing magicians these people have single-handedly reignited that magic flame i needed this more than you know these streets really make it feel like we're in paris or something like diagon alley well diagon alley would make sense because we're headed to the tri-wizard tournament so i'm not actually playing that music in post this gentleman here is playing it [Music] imagine he pulls one of those keys off it becomes a deck of playing cards why would you imagine that see the show last night no that was one of the things that made no sense to me what you were saying all right that's it right there there you go is this a little doug is this you yeah we designed this just for fizzing

exact moment is where everything changed for me we got to sit down with some spanish magicians and well i was fortunate enough to hang out with these guys until like four or five in the morning for a few nights and they showed me some of the most incredible magic i've ever seen in my life so just a quick shout out to giancarlo scalia mario lopez juan colas and ruby ferrez for the amazing gift that they gave me and my friends enjoy the rest of video folks and give these guys a follow all right [Music] i don't understand what's happening [Music] [Music] there's no way you should be able to do

the second one colas touches his chest i felt his heart beat through the pencil i mean you could see the expression on her faces how magical the moment that was i don't even i can't even tell you what happened yeah messed me up getting to go to the biggest magic tournament in the world and hanging out with world-class magicians who happen to be world class people was such an honor and a gift and i cherish it and i'm so fortunate to be able to do that i really think that this changes things for me and also for this channel so wait what if you guys leave a like subscribe and we'll see what okay wow i did not expect this did you not get it your lecture was beautiful yeah i love my favorite part of your whole lecture is when you said you must catch the magic so many times musicians show just a bit that was my favorite that was mine it was like you're always in control and you said no you must be separate you must try catch the magic and show that human element it was just so many i think needed to hear that was beautiful and wonderful so thanks for sharing i appreciate it yeah i love this theory about perversion ready we stayed up until like five in the morning every day got up at like nine or ten just so that we can see more magic hang out with magicians it's it was so much fun i was talking to some magicians about this because i got approached being like hey chris what's what's up with the channel it's more puzzles now it's more you know and one of the things i realized that last two years i didn't get out much i wasn't able to perform magic i wasn't able to see magicians and so it wasn't i was i didn't feel inspired by magic at all i couldn't but after this week i'm confident to say that i've never felt more inspired my magic and i'm very grateful and very thankful that i had this trip this journey so that i could realize how much i missed it and realize how amazing some of these magicians who i'm so lucky to call my friends are not a word of lie i uh i almost cried the other night when i was thinking about how beautiful some of these people are that are here how amazing they are at what they do and i just feel so i feel so fortunate and so lucky like you have to ugh magic conventions are cool shows are cool magic shows are cool everything else but what really makes these trips or these conventions amazing is the after hour jam sessions we're sitting at a bar and sharing ideas discussing methods showing each other things that we're working on how to improve certain things watching the strangest performances to things that need work i'm so grateful i get to be able to hang out with such talented individuals and see some of the creations that they haven't shown anyone else yet it's the deepest inner circle of magic it's the most talented people in magic and you're just sitting around a bar at three or four in the morning sharing ideas with these people i feel so honored and privileged and it really it really changes my outlook on magic moving forward um i needed this trip to be inspired i didn't know how much i needed this trip um i i i can't wait to just i just can't wait to have more magic in my life what an amazing journey these last few days have been if i met you at fism i want to say a personal thank you and if i didn't get to say goodbye uh sorry about that there were a lot of people to say goodbye to but i definitely so if you've come to me and you've said hey um i just want to thank you for stopping and saying hi to me i want to thank you for the support that you've given me over the years i want to thank all the people who i've met for the first time who have become friends with um you guys are awesome thank you so much for allowing me to do what i do and hopefully i can repay hopefully i can repay that favor by shining a light on on this beautiful community filled with magic all right guys i've got a three-hour road trip ahead of me my car is charging and i need to get home and i need to edit this so leave a like subscribe and uh i look forward to i look forward to what's to come we'll see you then [Music] hello [Music] you

Mario Lopez's Chinese coins on string is amazing. I assume this is his own version. I wonder of its based on previously published material? It seems like it's similar to Charming Chinese Challenge but much better IMHO

[u/EatStatic]

I really enjoyed this and think even if you don’t like Ramsay it’s always great to see someone reignite some passion in magic. Shame he didn’t really talk about or include any of the actual competition but maybe he wasn’t allowed to film that.

[u/Eric_Esoteric]

Man that dealer room was all duds. Nothing in there looked good or workable.

[u/Mrtherapi]

I have been absorbed by Mario lopez CCC and I have been searching for a way to reproduice it ! I have recreat a part of it but if anyone know where I can buy his material ... that be great !
