Shin: “I severed two tendons and I made a more difficult trick”
I had a cold last week and almost quit my job
Best f@#&en comment ever lmao hahaha had me dying... then again maybe cuz i can relate 🤔🤔
Lmao
Uhh you sure it was just a normal cold?
lol
He's like Goku. He purposefully destroys his body so it can come back stronger.
My neighbor got a paper cut and decided to end his life
I was there. It was amazing. Then, when I went to the hotel, I shat out the blue deck.
There you go, I just KNEW he had an accomplice in the audience!
Underrated comment.
I legit spat out my food reading this lol.
Bruh I just woke up my pregnant girlfriend laughing at this 😂 no amount of magic can save me now boys 😩😩
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
His dramatic style is great. Instead of having a routine where he talks through the entire trick he just puts up a performance. Amazing.
so true! he just immediately started performing, without even waiting for the audience to calm down from his announcement.
Yeah, like Teller actually. No trash, just Performance on the highest level.
Amazing! I never get tired of Shin & Limmer. Best show ever!
Underrated comment 🤣
Shin & Limmer... Ok, that was hilarious!
Wenn you set the speed to 0.25, you will be fooled in slow motion
Andreas Kissel yeah I tried that to figure out the trick but I had no idea what he did
Omg I tried it just cant bust him. He has pure talent and amazing magician
At around 3m , you can see the back of the card are black like the board, he just turn them and they blend with board, you can see him draging his hand mutipletimes over the board to drag the cards back towards him. And if you look closely, sometimes you can see card outlines on the board (3:08)
eg0zb x0.25 speed on (2:56) you will see the back of the cards are black.
Your kidding right even in slow motion this guys is that good!
I don't understand. Most magicians use sleight of hand to to pretend they have magical powers,but he uses real magic to pretend he is using sleight of hand
No Way this is my favorite TH-cam comment of all time. No exaggeration. Well played and thank you.
@@cj1000 hey man thanks
Exactly, you couldn’t have said it better.
lol
AHAHAHAHA
So much style, grace and incredible skill. It's Magic on the highest level
I agree dude Penn killed it at the end there.
Having severed tendons and lingering nerve damage myself, I absolutely feel the terror he must've experienced. I'm so impressed with his recovery, and to be able to perform at the level he does blows my mind. All the best you Shin
not to mention he got into magic after suffering from carpal tunnel too.. dude's hands have been through the ringer and he's still working at it. He's got some guts but, I can see some severe health problems in his later years...
The guy is a real life doctor strange
It's nice of Penn and Teller to make a appearance on Shin's show 😏
I see what ya did there
Shin totally must be thinking "Oh sh*t" at 6:46
@_-*Izzy Zilla*-_ you clearly can't see the joke 🤦♂️🤣
@_-*Izzy Zilla*-_ yea sure... move along 😂
@_-*Izzy Zilla*-_ submit? To what? 🤣 you think I don't know that your trolling 😉🤣 that or your just thick as two short blanks of wood 🤣
If you look closely you can see that i have no clue how he did that
LMAO! Also, why did I read this comment in a Peter Griffin voice??? lol
Omranovic IIV Lmao
LOL Same here..
Play video slow, then you can see many of the cards was on the table with black color back.
Wow amazing 😱😋
Shin Lim is probably the best card magician there is. I'm a magician myself. I think I know how about 60% of this is done, but the rest? I've been trying to figure out since he first appeared on TV and it's just impossible. I've taken a look at gimmicks, I examined everything frame by frame. Some of this stuff is just pure wizardry. I love it
yeah i totally agree the way he performs the tricks is just beautiful and pure, I think he the best card magician for sure fooling penn and teller not once but twice lol
Just see 52 shades of red v2
hey how'd he make the pen disappear and reappear in the first one
It's crazy. Sometimes I know *when* he's doing something, but I don't know *what.* Soemtimes I know *what* he's doing, but I can't for the life of me figure out *when* he does it. His sleight of hand is so fast and precise that it boggles the mind, even when you're looking for it.
He literally explains this routine in a video and has merchandise selling this trick. Idk why you have been searching for years
When he said let me demonstrate a little about the routine. Shins smile slowly went away lol
If you watch the video at 0.25x speed, you can easily see that Shin Lim still fooled you, it just takes 4x as long.
So show us.
Hahahaha brilliant.
LOL. i did and his moves are so fast that it has no difference from normal speed LOL he is the epitomy of perfection
EXACTLY!! I tried it!! ;D
LMAO
It's so nice to see you inviting Penn and Teller to your show again!
no shit
Thanks for enlightening us Captain Obvious
+
So do i😌
Please come to my channel for Japan experience. Thank you so much.
Honestly he's the best person that's ever been on the show
I’ve been following magicians and performing, as a magician for more than 50 years now, and I have never been so impressed. His presentation and skill is by far the best I have ever seen. Absolute perfection.
LCD cards! 50 years ago there were non my friend
This guy is the Epitome of Magic!
I whole heartedly agree 👍
Agreed. And Shin was pretty good too.
When he say's the trick was hard, he actually is referring to the 5 cats and 1 goat that he had to sacrifice on a pentagram just prior to the show.
That’s dark
@@jeffreyanderson8633 Just like the dark magic Shin Lim just performed.
Thats epic is what Jeffrey meant my man.
@@thewolfsden4017 Epstein?
@@StreetfighterU dogs? I can put words with question marks too.
....And he won not one but two AGT titles WITHOUT A F*KIN SAD STORY
Agreed lol
But a fact you need to consider is he was a pro even before AGT, not taking anything away from his accomplishments tho
@@karthikrox6310 yep, not to mention that tho'
AGT is so fucked up. People with no real talent go there with a sad story and fucking win. I'm not saying I don't feel sorry for them, but this is not about your tragedies, it's about talent, it's even in the name lol. Also AGT doesn't deserve such a talent like Shin Lim.
Yeah most of the contestanr use their sad stories, even in my country.. so that's tradition huh? Lol
I've done a fair amount of card magic, but this guy is just beyond amazing. Even on the handful of occasions when I know exactly what he did, the sheer perfection of skill is breath-taking. Add in the creativity and showmanship on top of that raw skill, and just wow.
Could you give me the times that he mindfudged you the most?
he didnt took many risks in this one but if you watch original 52 shades of red and the one in new zealand yes it was mindblowing even if you know how its done
Exactly, I saw all of the tricks, but I still think it was a fair fool. There are no physical evidence if you don't pry to far.
The mat is ordinary and the table too, there are clearly no hatches or pockets in the mat or table-top, but he does have a secret.
As long as that secret is kept there is no way to say exactly what method the secret uses. You can only figure out how the effect is done but not with exactly what means. What kind of forces are in play when it comes to tension, If you know what I'm saying ;)
Some of the tricks are really just sleight of hand though and some of them are tricks that every card magician knows. But they are close to perfection, so it really doesn't matter if you know.
Still, by far, the best performance on this show. This is front line trenches magic.
This trick is so damn obvious. Watch it in slow motion and you'll see. Basically he's a level 79 demigod capable of telekinesis and wizardry
aaahahahahhahahahhahahhahahha
That's not how he does it. At 4:39 you can clearly see that he is using trained ants with lasers.
muggles
I'll never get tired of those jokes
That comment right there.... is about as good as that routine was. Magic, just magic!
When you set the speed to 0.25 you will realize it takes longer to watch the video
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣and you get even more clueless and confused.🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
4X as long!
ROFL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
You could have a friend play DnD, roll your die, and have it always come up a crit 20. The workings behind that would be easier to explain than to figure out Shin's methods. Such an amazingly beautiful performance.
Outstanding casual card force by Penn there.
How'd he do that? It looked so natural 😭
@@Xialo_Universe_Art every card is the 'you fooled us' card except the first three of diamonds😂
They're still looking for his pen from the first time he was on.
Codemeleon marker*
it was in his shirt in the chest opening
Codemeleon omg hotline miami
dani aviv that one was easy to catch. They mean the second time.
@@WispyEmbers The second time was even easier, he puts it behind his right hand, and then drops it. But the problem with Shin Lim is that he's incredibly quick and smooth, you're bound to miss some moves at some point, dude is unreal
The Cards Are Paid Actors
Really Overused Meme..
LovelyGachaGirl
Fool, it's true not a meme
Everyone is disappointed in me but it really is a meme, stop being a liar you do it with SLEIGHT OF HAND, logic wins here not being a liar..
Lmao
LovelyGachaGirl no shit huh
WOW...amazing. So smooth, a total package...you so deserve a show in Vagas or wherever you wish.
He has a show in Vegas at Mirage. I’ve been twice and was amazing.
@@sethp45001 very cool!!
I just love their humor. The fact that the trophy, from a distance looks like it just says F U, is just brilliant!
Who let Shin Lim out of Azkaban again?
He fooled the dementors :P
You have to realize that Shin Lim can not only fool Penn and Teller, he can also fooled every other witch and wizard. Even they don't know how he did it... and they're magic!
lol 😂
Joy Morningstar Harry he was in Sirius’s cell
Snape did it
If you pause at 6:03 you can see him activate the infinity gauntlet. He then travels through 14,000,000 possibilities and chooses the one where he fools us
Cobruh lol
you can't do that with an infinity gauntlet, you need an infinite improbability drive. The real trick is concealing the fact that you've been turned into a bowl of ramen noodles.
What was that anime where there's a competition and the winner had this super ability?
It's way easier. At 2:03 you can see Adobe logo on bottom right corner. There is no trick really, except him hiding behind the table. Rest is photoshopped. He should have purchased the full version.
What do you mean the “one” that will fool us? Boi all of them will
This is so amazing that you don't even want to know how it is done. Just incredible sleight of hand. Shin Lim is a wizard!
Truly breathtaking, I can almost hardly believe this isn’t wizardry. I can often catch tricks but Shin just never fails and I got back that magic I once had.
He didn't fool me
I've known for a long time that he's a real wizard
This dude over here trying to fake fake magic. SMH.
You're a wizard, Harry.
I'm a wot?
+Kevill any people in the table that trick
He's a Wizard in the way there were "Wizards" during the Middle Ages-- very talented and skilled magicians, who practice their deceptive techniques to the point they look "real". Too bad there is no real magic. Penn and Teller have said so many times and any professional magician would agree. Let's not go all paranormal. Remember The Amazing Randi's Million dollar challenge.
Shin Lim brings back the mystery element to magic. Not only do we not know how he did most of this stuff, we really don't WANT to know. It's almost as if we're satisfied with the amazement that comes with the trick itself. A truly brilliant, refreshing magician.
Yes exactly! With about every trick done on the show I wanna know how they deceived my mind or how easy the trick sometimes is. But Shins magic is something you don't want to ruin by figuring it out. It just feels so satisfying not knowing it. It almost feels like it isn't a trick, but pure magic
Matthew Thomas. No you don't.
Simply Genius actually its the whole opposite to me. Most of the stuff he did was even openly thought by Shin himself and the only thing i don't know is how he's always doing those deck switches. I'm actually disappointed in both Shin and P&T because first, you can actually buy his explanation of 52 shades of red which includes most of his performance and it's not so clever to go to fool us with a routine where the majority of the effects are known to everyone who wants to spend a bit of money. And i'm disappointed in P&T because they didn't even try to figure out how he switched decks (this is the only unexplainable part for me because i know the rest if it for sure). Normally they would ask him questions if he used black magic or Teller would go up to him and show him his idea on his sketchbook but Penn just looked behind the table and gave Shin the Price.
Not that I disrespect anyone of them, they all are great magicians and i really admire their skill and creativity, but with Penn and Tellers knowledge -which is far greater then mine- they should not've been fooled.
I know some moves he makes, and you know what? Still knowing the method... My love for this act does not dissapear! I LOVE IT EVEN MORE! :D Shin is freakin' AMAZING.
Yony Gut1 I love this act too and knowing how he's done most of it makes it even more impressive because I couldn't even do it nearly as good. I was just saying that he should not have done this on the show but something they couldn't figure out. (I really was suprised to see penn and teller being fooled by an act that's for sale)
Greatest magic performance EVER.
THIS YOUNG MAN DESERVES RESPECT.
Awesome! You bring back the magic of when I was a little kid back to me! It feels so great to see this. You are an amazing artist and entertainer!
when he turned the deck into the card box then into a single card i lost my shit
PsyBot
That was an epic moment at the end :)
PsyBot me to bro
I lost my shit when the music starting to play
Deck->Card Box->Single Card->Nothing at all
When did he stash all that stuff... something other than sleight of hand was going on.
dude, NEVER watch this guy without diapers on. trust me...
Welcome to Shin Lim Fool Us! Our first contenders are Penn & Teller. Will they be able to fool him and get the chance to share a stage in Las Vegas with him? Lets watch!
Should be called Shin Lim; Fool Him. Just because rhyme and us doesn't make sense when there's just one guy
It would be Shin Lim; Fool Me.
He meant that Lim rhymes with Him. Not only does it sounds better, but the word "Us" doesn't make sense when there is only one guy (Shin). Don't insult somebody, especially when you're the one that didn't understand Takaiiro. What he wrote was.. quite simple to understand actually :)
No, you.
Welcome to Shin Lim Yunufume!
He’s so smooth. Everything he does is perfect
I cannot tell you how beautiful and inspiring this is! Just everything! "Believing" in watching yourself and doing something else, and sort of hiding from the world the absolute beauty of this performance and many others! A pure form of art and discipline! Incredibly inspirational!
Love from Finland
4:50 look closely at his hands. When you slow it down you can clearly see at his left hands that he is such a talented guy and i dont wtf happened but wow.
If you look closely at the first comment in the comment section. That point has already been made :0
@@GOTHICforLIFE1 lmao😂😂
holy shit you can see blue behind the red right there and that means he used sleight of hand and there was only one red card in that instance
The comment section of this video did not disappoint me
I was absolutely in awe of this guy!! He put such a smile on my face! Truly a beautiful act he has
What a great performance, can rewatch it from time to time, again and again
Congratulations Shin Lim!! Your dedication and flawless performance has earned you great success. I sincerely hope it continues for you!! You are absolutely amazing and well deserving of great success!!
skyper rs how jealous Could you have possibly been that you posted that comment? Lmao.
Wow. There is some real hate in these comments. The Asian community is our friends. At least some of them are doing something real about the true biggest threat to humankind. Stamping out toxic Islam
skyper rs lmao, you are either extremely young, immature, uneducated, or a mixture of them. grow up you racist pig.
skyper rs there is such thing that is free in this world .. it is to educate your self .. you are getting out of the topic .. it is about penn and teller being fooled or not, where did that incest and whatever bad words are you talking about ?? That is identity of islam, they never forget to add hate with their comments, disliking video and negative comments are accepted, you need not to be harsh .. educate your self man, and we will welcome you when you become a human ..
skyper rs Are we shiting on Trump now? 'Cause I heard somethin' about small feminine Hands...
(btw Guyz - don't feed the toxic Troll)
The ending means that Penn and Teller had a "You Fooled Us!" card custom-made before Shin Lim even showed up. They were that confident of getting fooled again. Simply amazing.
Or maybe they just had this card ready for anyone for sometime dummie
@@privatewins5856 no it was for him alone
Of course they didn't. They're magicians. They magic. They just make a deck appear and it's exactly what they need!
Actually they had a whole deck of you fooled us printed on it except for one or two that needs to be shown, like the bottom and top card. That's how that works
They may have had a we weren't fooled card in the pocket as well
Your routine is so beautiful. Truly amazing watching you perform!
Simply, impossibly perfect and amazing!!
These comments are hilarious. He's so talented even the TH-cam critics can't figure him out at 25% speed, lmao.
I know literally nothing about these tricks, but after most moves you see him slide his hand against the table which makes me think he drops the cards off the table.
I didn't ever imagine to come across you on a video like this.. what's up man
Hi occifer
PAPA 401!!!!!!!!!! Hi idol
BBearGaming yes i am sure he is
he does the fastest deck changes you will ever NOT see.
Maskah leo I’m not gonna say what he does, but he actually doesn’t do any deck changes in this act
@@ikon1403 If I'm not mistaken Shawn Farquhar used the same method in his third visit, as hinted by Penn at the end. Is that what you're thinking of as well?
@@jangtheconqueror maybe. but imo shawn is using the Same Base technique but not the Same Methode.
@@ikon1403 this act is not possible without a deck change
@@AJ-lk8it nope, I also believe there is no deck change.
I love magic, I don't want to know how you do it, but watching your videos make this 50 (almost 51) year old woman feel like a little kid again. It's wonderful. Thank you, Shin Lim. :)
I've been dedicated three full years of my life to sleigh of hand and card magic, I must say even if with what a learned I know some of how does his routine works it just make it even MORE impressive. I have so much respect for Shin knowing that what he do is super hard to master. What a inspiration in every sense.
Wow! Your command of the English language disappeared by the end of your comment!
he's too good I can't get over it
I love the FU trophy. click my name 2,3,4 and wake up already
vinesthemonkey The thing is he has so many little moves that he does in terms of double lifting, palming, dumping, switching, and other tricks that it's impossible to keep up with everything he does the first time you watch it
KH9078 its camera and choreography. this was a staged show that people cant seem to believe, his first one was obviously better and when he did his reveals, you could see the slight of hands. the camera angles helped a lot as they always will with tv magic
KH9078 especially for laymen that don't know when to watch for these moves. Even knowing a lot fo these principles his application is flawless and so incredibly smooth that o had to watch it over and over to detect any sleights and I still can't figure it all out
Wowwwww. You know you can buy the stuff he uses to perform these tricks. Just search: "Shin lim 52 shades of red v2" and you can perform the same trick!
This guy had an accident where he lost use of his hands and then miraculously recovered with the ability to do magic? He's clearly Dr. Strange!
... OMG
....yes....(goosebumps).
MrTingtingting twice actually.. Carpal tunnel and the torn up thumb
That is some serious sleight of hand if it requires you to hyperextend your thumb so far you sever your tendons. Jesus chris.
Nah he's magic
I have nothing else but respect and admiration for magicians and their beautiful art!
Simply the best there is. Brilliant.
Almost Losing A Lim Didn't Stop Shin Lim
SUCISOUNDS golf clap 👏🏼
Very Punny.

😂😂
Magnum! Lol
You may have fooled them, but Penn and Teller are the only ones who can make me trust someone's recorded magic trick. :) Congrats on the win.
Same, I’ll only watch penn and teller, because I completely trust that they won’t edit or plant anything. Most tricks online are just crazy camera and editing tricks, not actual street magic or things you’ll be able to see in person.
@@firemonkey1015 Skeptical people HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.. but it's not editing lmao. He already sold many CD's for you guys to purchase it. Lol
@@mamia06Yea no kidding recorded magic trick, tf are they trying to say here lmao
@@KaoticReach1999 Ikr.. they're skeptical lol. There's no sketchy edits here but I believe there is a cut.
Some will understand, he performs his magical abilities on a different 'plane' of consciousness. We see what appears to be slight of hand or 'magic' but on his plane nothing is slight of hand. It's like watching a video which has had specific frames removed.
This dude looks like a Final Fantasy character
Do you think his class would be... mage?
It's because he looks Asian and has short black hair
"he looks Asian"
He would be a summon. Too OP to be a playable character 😂
Use slight of hands to make monsters vanish and reappear in a plastic bag.
He's so mysterious when he's performing, but when he actually talks he's such a sweetie pie
DecoyDamsel ... your profile pic looks like u wanna eat’em
Fuck i know right
Even the parts that you can kind of tell what is happening are so perfectly executed that it still amazes you. And we can rewind and slow motion on TH-cam and it’s still amazing.
There were a lot of grear magicians in this show, but this dude, this dude is S+ tier. I have yet to see someone at this level, for real he makes even P&T look like amateurs a bit
Wait a damn minute. Surgical operations to the hand? Losing finger/thumb movement? Magic recovery that also increases magic powers?
...Dr. Strange? Is that you? D:
Mediamatix 😂😂😂😂
Actually, he's the ancient one.
dr. strange indeed
Hmm mmmm. Very strange indeed.
Wow u cracked it.
If you watched carefully at 0.25x speed, you'll realise that it is in fact real magic...
Thanks
I tried that too lol
@@James_r4276 sometimes he shows cheap slight of hand to hide his real magic stuffs

This man is truly amazing I never get tired of watching videos over and over. He is just that good and touching. He loves what he does.
The man really put so much work in his craft huge fan
N N demon is in your pants :) its only hand trick nothing else.

Same here, Jazzy. The routine is brilliant.
Dr strange injured, recover using magic.
Shin lim injured, recover using magic?
Coincidence? I don't think so.
Mystery? Maybe.

They both injured their hands
wtf
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
小羊Marcus 😂😂😂 Trivago
If there is perfect magic performance this is very close to it. Even after punchline it just kept going and remained as magical as it had begun. Absolutely stunning work.
Such an amazing performance
I don't even think The Slow Mo Guys can handle his speed
Jerry Yang haha that dumbasses 😂
Jerry Yang back of the cards are black
Jerry Yang would be interesting to see them try though
yes, there is some editing... but this editing IS NOT A PART OF THE ACT! You misunderstanding what you see, mame. The editors of the show had some "flaws", if you may. For example: at the end they skipped the attention to the crowd, instead of letting the attention on Shin finnishing the routine (4:59 to 5:00 there you have a cut). But, I insist: the editing WAS NOT A PART OF THE ACT.
Rachel Wilson there's no camera tricks...
The ending was hilarious!!
TheRussianGenius haha yeah! Hey Vladimir!
I've watched a load of your card stuff
TheRussianGenius hi daddy vlady
TheRussianGenius I love your channel!!!
"I hate him" 😂
He really changed card magic and took it up a few notches. His performance is like a serene classical work!!! CLASSY!!!!
So glad you recovered ❤
I want just 1% this guy's talent.
Just 1%
U mean u just have the card and the cloths right?
then practice 1% of his time
LOL I'd have to practice 10,000% of his time to get 1% of his talent.
I have zero manual dexterity.
Learn piano? Thats a start. Though I have played piano for about 6 years and I cant do anywhere near his skill!
Paradox Gaming Network small world
Wasn't the entire reason he picked up magic in the first place because he developed carpal tunnel and had to give up being a concert pianist? And then he had two severed tendons in his thumb? I'd say he has bad luck with his hands, but he keeps bouncing back.
Hes like a cursed monkey paw:
One Finger grants you a wish...but at what cost?
He made two deals with the devil now...the first one to grant him magic
But what was the second? O-O
i'm thinking "the prestige". He "injured" his thumb so he could have an excuse to get surgery done than would enable him to do magic nobody else can
Those are well done tricks , but nothing out of this world , he is a good magician that's all , he failed here and there tho and made his tricks a bit obvious here and there, but hey when the camera is watching you at multiple angles it's hard to pull off what he did
@Enux. What I understood from your comment is that you're soo much better than all of us. Thanks for dropping this insight on youtube so we can become better people and live up to your standards.
lucidloon reminds me what happened to my fingers with my tendons. Only mine didn't seem to heal as well
This dude is awesome! Simply amazing! He is by far one of the best magicians in the entire world. Too good. Peace.
it is still great watching magic.
unreal skills
It seemed like Penn and Teller didn't even try to figure it out this time
Sean Lin yeah lmao they had that whole card thing planned
As soon as they knew he was coming back they were like “well shit lmao”
Penn and Teller are very experienced professional magicians. When it comes to magic tricks, all it takes is knowing the category of the trick: card tricks, dice, etc for Teller to pretty much know what techniques are applied and how the trick is done. There no need to "try." They will either know how its done or won't. Only amateurs will guess. And only the inexperienced will try. Probably, they know how a trick is done 10 seconds into the magician doing it. And if they don't know by then, there's no point wasting time.
But they said they watched him even CLOSER this time...
What’s to figure out? Where do you begin? 😂
Uncle Bubbles scripted
Whenever I've seen this guy, his sleight of hand is impeccable. Considering he's recovered from a thumb injury like that, makes it all the more remarkable. One of the best sleight of hand artists I've ever seen.
MrDarkweaver last time it was carpal tunnel, now it's severed tendon in his thumb. Next he will be doing it with no fingers.
And we still won't be able to figure out how he does it :)
The year is 2030. Shin Lin has a cameo every other show on penn & teller, and at this point, he has lost all his limbs. Nobody still knows how he does it
Kevin
At this point Shin Lim will go down in the annals of magik as the Dark Sorceror that pioneered and later perfected the techniques we call "sleight of stump".
He used to be a solo pianist..
Shin Lim is awesome one of my favorites I think I have a guess for anyone wondering how he does it at 2:16 if you frame by frame on full screen you can just barely see the outline of the card on the black mat as he flips the cards So I am assuming they just all had black backs to cover them and blend in with his mat then he has some insane/incredible sleight of hand to make it look as amazing as it does
I watched this like 7x's.. watched hard at the cards and hands and I gave up, I have absolutely no idea how just awesome 👏
We'll find his secrets at Area 51
The.Richest.Chigga yes
wait maybe he's an alien using weird alien tech to do magic
What's the music?
Well I am from the future. Less than 150 raiders will show up at Area 51
@@loleang8908 You're a little late buddy. It already happened
The thing I particularly love about this act: Shin Lim kept his hands and forearms visible the entire time. None of this "put a cloth in front of the magician for a bit while he does something sneaky" or "make you look somewhere else while my other hand is pulling a fast one". He's right in front of you, doing these things that astonish, and encouraging you to stare right at him while he does it. That's so pure, so perfect, the guy is pretty much defining everything stage magic should be.
thexalon
I agree... what Shin does is just wonderful he is a breath of fresh air to the magic world ☺
iiii knooowwww?? !!
right?
his sleeves are up
he shows his hands??...
wtf is that?
The bad thing about this routine is it's exactly what you describe but in a different way. He's doing *VERY* sneaky things, but in "plain view." The problem being is this trick is actually filmed twice (notice how his sleeves go up and down during the routine) because you can see everything in the original performance. This trick definitely looks awful up close, and a lot of the lighting has to be careful, or you can see the cards on the table. He used to have a video up where you could see all the black backed cards on the table, in plain view the whole time, and I believe he took it down, but the magic was completely ruined when you could just see them sitting there the whole time. In a few instances in this video you can see them too, but it's very subtle.
The main problem with this routine is he took a black art card concept, which until this point was used for only minor effects, and made it the star of his illusion. He's overused it to the point where it becomes kind of obvious what he's doing once you watch his performance a few times, and it gives away a relatively unknown secret to laypeople.
His routines are good, but they are borderline too edgy because certain parts are way too obvious and they giveaway too much. For example the dream act is magical the first time you view it, but after that, it's way too obvious that he's using duplicate cards.
I didn't noticed that this was recorded twice until you mentioned the sleeves thing, and yes, you are correct. I have the 52 shades of red V1 and V2 and they look beautiful in camera with the correct lightning, but up close it looks like complete shit.
I simply love Shin Lim, he is such a great magician :-)
This never gets old, fantastic performance.
Real
I love magic so much. One of the only entertainment types to give you a true feel of child-like wonder.
agreed, Its why I have purposely ignored anything having to do with how they are done. It just ruins it. Unless you want to be a magician stay mesmerized by the mystery.
But at the same time knowing the techniques yet seeing a master pull them off so well you still don't notice is a legitimate mindblowing experience.
Watching Michael Vincent's card tricks for example.
Konstance Miles I think this act was slight of hand. Not magic lol It appears to be magic but is not magic.
Chrono105 I enjoy finding out how they do the tricks because then I feel so much more respect for the magician’s finesse and confidence at looking me straight in the face and fooling me right under my nose when I didn’t even blink. It’s just magical all over again!
josh yang Um, I know it's not real magic lol. Sleight of hand in this scenario is still in the magic category. And he's clearly a magician.
Isn't it forbidden to perform magic outside of Hogwarts?
That only applies to students. Shin obviously graduated Summa Cum Laude years ago.
Eraldo King he's Tom riddle
Fool us is a safe space
Jaime Paredes for years it was but the dark lord has returned
LOL
Again. Best ever!!! 🥰🥰
catching you in vegas end of the month. EXCITED to see your show. Hope you bring penn and teller back on the show sometime
VAC Ban
I laughed way too hard at this
me too.
Matthew Modricker lol YOURE CHEATING!!!
KQLY style
LOL
I think I finally understand what it means to be a master of a craft. Absolutely wonderful :)
Michał Rzeźnik Polak!!!
Serio? Nie róbcie wiochy. Potem są te idiotyczne komentarze w stylu "Polacy przejmują ten film" :/
Nice.
I figured out how it's done, but it's a great performance.
Really happy you recovered. You deserve to go very far.
I have too 👍. But better not to ruin anyone's excitement..
I just love that he kept the card from Penn. That is a great memory totem to have. Beautifull act!
I know how he did it.
He didnt actually sever his tendants. He had an operation done to his hands so he could store a whole deck inside his hand. The whole accident was a misdirection of the true purpose of the operation.
*Obviously im joking, great job Shin Lim, your act(s) are elegant and beautiful.
I hope you are doing well, it seems you recovered well atleast.
that's got to be it...
i'll believe that til i hear a better explanation.
thank you for sharing the only conclusion.
lol
That's the tables job ;) vest conceals the marker as well. Everything you see, is the trick, just so damn beautifully executed.
DiZh0 made my day
That’s a better explanation then any
I've been learning some card trickery recently and here's what I noticed...

...Shin Lim is pretty good.
Yeah he is very talented ☺
I learnt that this show is bullshit, on nearly every camera cut the length of his right sleeve changes
Wait, wtf? You're right. Did they cut it in a different order or what happened there? Did they leave out parts? Weird...
Look at the cut at 3:23 I mean wow what is that, his right sleeve was at his elbow and is suddenly at the level of his wrist. Then the next cut it's back at the level of his elbow. What? Then he shows the cards to the audience. Cut. Sleeve back to wrist-level. Did he change the cards and they just cut it out?
VERY observant of you! The producers really should explain that.
That was the trick that fooled penn&teller.
Saw him in Vegas last month, incredible. I mean right before your eyes, just hard to believe. The best I have ever seen or ever likely to see.
I love coming back to this video it never gets old. The magic is amazing but the act really pushes it over the top with how deliberate every motion is. There is no obvious pivot to talk about something unrelated that is intended to distract like is sometimes common in magic. Your performance is silent but it really speaks volumes.
