  • If anyone has any questions, I'm doing an AMA at LAX airport today at noon.
  • The greatest thing about magic for me is knowing how it's done but being unable to spot it. It's a testament to untold hours of practice and innumerable failures before perfection happened.
  • @NickOwens
    Love hearing the crew laughing in the background.
  • @f1ddlestick
    PLEASE invite Ben more!! He's my favorite guest you guys bring on
  • @AnthonySkatz
    Ben Seidman may be the best person you get for any "insider reviews things" series than anyone else I've seen.
  • @maquiavelmg
    what I love more about sleight of hand is, even if you have some idea of how it was made, you can still be VERY impressed by the sheer amount of workmanship that goes into doing it so smoothly and appearing effortless
  • @YouyuanKe
    Being a magician, I really like how he explains thing whilst also protecting some of our secrets. A true performer 👍
  • @saltycrunch
    I was just watching his first video last night for the millionth time and wished Vanity Fair would have him back. He's delightful.
  • @ZachPincince
    So glad you had Ben back - he's truly the best 🙂
  • I'm so glad they brought this guy back! He's such a joy to listen to and he's so knowledgable!
  • @keilzz1
    How casually he said he's a pick pocket lol
  • @PunCala
    Can we have a three hour version of this guy?
  • @EstherRufus
    Ben Seidman is back! Yay! I'm a few hours late, but this was so awesome to see a part 2. Most these terms are review now, but this is still fun.
  • @dcltdw
    I think my favorite parts are when Ben messes with the filming crew. More of that, please :D
  • @DaddyFabioTV
    Ben is hilarious, super knowledgable and a very talented magician. I could watch hours and hours of this. Keep it up!
  • What an amazing video featuring an amazing individual! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
