Chris Brown’s new video. Pretty nice card magic and some flourishes in there. Check out that Spring Sandwich routine in the end!

World,

Welcome to a tour in my mind. Within this piece of work I wanted to provide the viewer with a feel as if they are going on a ride through my thought process. This is only a fraction to what is yet to come.

Back in early 2007 I was at a rock gym and I noticed that all the routes were named. Clever names to describe the difficulty or the rock setter. I walked past one entitled “Arthritis Onslaught”. I realized that I couldn’t climb this route. It was massively advanced and that’s when I realized rock climbing doesn’t mix with card handling. It roughens up your hands and builds catalysts making your grip and overall handling with a deck compromised and changed. It hit that I need to make a youtube video with difficult routes for my fellow card enthusiasts to follow. Since I believe I should surround myself with those who have more time put into magic than me then why shouldn’t I do this for younger magi than myself? This is why I do what I do. To push others so they want to become better. I love being pushed by card men who are technically more knowledgeable and more advanced than me such as John Bodine, Ricky Smith, Theron Schaub, Brian Hart, Dan and Dave Buck.

Arthritis Onslaught part 1 first came out in 7/7/07. Since it received such a good response I decided it was only right to make a sequel that would come out on 8/8/08. After AO2 I realized that it was one of my finest pieces only after a year or so of looking at it. The more I thought of topping it, the more I felt overpowered. I was always afraid that I would never be able to give something better but one thing I’ve learned is that with more time and knowledge put into any subject, your growth is exponential and once you demolish all of your self built boundaries, they become simply a choice rather than something in your way. With the more I learn the more I realize that I have no boundaries any more.

I want to go further in this tunnel and I want all of you to come with me. I wholeheartedly thank all of you for sticking with me and believing in me. I love you all.

persist & endure,
Chris Brown

   I liked the tone and music but was disappointed with the editing. It was difficult to not wonder what was chis brown manipulation and what was chris angel photo-trick magic.

   whats up with the ellusionist ad in the middle of the description?

   the video was nice graphically, had good variety of a lot of moves, some of them done less than great, but the sheer depth was still impressive.

   i give props to the funny part when you were doin piano riffs on the fan and stuff walking down the street! good stuff! :-D 4 stars dogg
