I could listen to Hannibal talk about pretty much anything. The way he can spin a yarn about whatever he’s holding in his hands is both intoxicating and inspiring, and the way he can combine those stories with some incredible magic is what makes him one of the best working illusionists right now. This video shows Hannibal performing at a TEDx talk in Charlotte back in 2015, where he seamlessly melds feats of sleight of hand and mentalism with a story of how he left his life as an accountant to ply his trade with a pack of cards. It’s funny, it’s charming, and above all, it’s just dang good magic.
