52 Shades of Red (LIVE in NZ) with Original Soundtrack // Shin Lim

[@Iceport]

This is one of the few magics that I don’t even want to find out how it is done. The performance alone is an art form.

[@kalessdu]

knowing how it's done makes it even greater and impressive

[@neoniahazelwood9263]

I agree 100% Yink.

[@nadamuchu]

It’s a rig inside his shirt and sleeves. How it works is beyond me, but I suspect there’s magnets involved. I mean, magnets are basically magic, right?

[@neoniahazelwood9263]

I don't want to know his secrets. I just want to watch his AMAZING GOLDEN performances!

[@linguaEpassione]

I totally agree as well

[@sabrecruz6721]

As what people say "magic is when his hands are faster than your eyes" His charisma and stage presence is top notch!

[@dineshjeewooth1064]

Yeps..actually😁

[@misterl1668]

Definitely. One of a kind even with just the execution of his movements

[@malsawmachinzah6658]

hand faster can't changes card colour, and not only our eyes, they all are camera

[@erlendbanken6517]

Sabre Cruz This trick isn’t about hand movements

[@garthbekkerbuksie4338]

BS

[@nikhilpadhiar1277]

This routine never gets old

[@farisgazali_]

[@AndresGanoza]

It was old?? 😱hahaha

[@Powence]

its like 5 years old

[@aldreldpedraroja7798]

absolutely :)

[@maizarafique852]

The most beautiful in his tricks is that he doesn't talk so we don't lose focus from his hands and he still fools us all 😂❤️

[@おでん-i6k]

Exactly 😎

[@lamaparin9607]

He Have Divine Power

[@angelinabluecount3842]

i think he has magic hair to hide his secret

[@alexdiego6555]

That was the most beautiful act I’ve ever seen

[@paradox8158]

Sir you are a true inspiration of new generation magicians including me

[@tiberiucoman7937]

true

[@renelesch6244]

Tiberiu-Alexandru Coman That true

[@yeyoch]

Not to mention a super chill dude and fun to watch. Wouldn't mind more vlogs:-)

[@liamtideswell4970]

Shin is the Mozart of Magic

[@matthewburns4947]

Me too. I wanted to be at that performance, but I didn't have time :'-(. Ah well, Maybe the next time He's in NZ. (PLEASE COME BACK SHIN, PLEASE!)

[@shaan814]

Shin Lim is my favourite magician to watch at the moment. Beautiful music choreographed with mind blowing card magic. Incredible😊

[@aldreldpedraroja7798]

same as me :)

[@bellalouiesse1364]

I love the music too! it adds thrill.

[@markacres701]

Shaan White I agree. It is the combination of music, performance and skill. He is just wonderful to watch.

[@alwayzatiger1]

Yess that’s what I was saying. M83’s music is magical and paired with his act together it’s amazing

[@Devillionaire]

Seen him do this like 5 times now and still love it every time. It’s done so beautifully that I’m still wowed even when I know what’s coming.

[@nicoladalpheusse3916]

His magic is just so beautiful. The mechanics and strength he has are incredible!

[@cjbael]

Shin Lim: "I do slight of hand" Me: "No, you do magic!" I'm not a fan of card tricks, but what you do Shin Lim is breath-taking and so beautifully done, thank you for astonishing me with your performances!

[@cycletrip]

No matter how many times I watch this routine, I never skip even once. Shin is not doing magic. He is magic.

[@chrischungy]

He is magic doing magic because magic does magic.

[@stevensingleton8661]

chris that’s magic ception

[@gabrielszeto5335]

I would explain everything but basically he has a ton of cards which have a black background which blend in with the black cloth in the table

[@dipender11]

can u tell me name of this song please

[@wanrizaldi]

dipesh rathi "quatro and oblivion both by m83"

[@foxhero1337]

Shin Lim should be a household name when it comes to magic. It's so hard to call these tricks. They're beautiful, and really make me think that magic is real. Thank you, Shin Lim, you are a true artist.

[@cherose_1814]

greatest card magician.. many people revealed how he did it and i dont care, it just pure magic.. the execution is beyobd perfect..amazing !!!

[@ramandawaikhom5257]

Take years to revealed a single trick And talking like a boss haha the revealed people must be shameful

[@naeemsaeed1803]

That's not true , shin lim has copyrights that prevents anyone from revealing it ...

[@ronanrubio3690]

I had shin lims class one time and he revealed the theory of that performance and its so ez to understand but takes yrs to perform!! what an art❤️ and ill never ever wanna know how it was done so that i can enjoy the the art

[@tylivinlife2238]

This guys talent is so beautiful and flawless, i hope he is proud of himself. Id pay to go see him!

[@miomimomiro]

The songs you all asked for: 1. M83 ft. Susanne Sundfør - Oblivion 2. M83 - Outro

[@vuthang2157]

aukis tks

[@miomimomiro]

no probs m8

[@nanjr9320]

Thanks

[@blueeye9401]

Thx so much

[@gabrielcostache7779]

thx

[@Shimus36]

Everytime I watch I'm slackjawed. I could watch the same routine a million times and never get bored because you are right, not speaking is enchanting. You were truly meant for a stage.

[@timothybessemer7316]

People need a sense of wonder - the feeling that there really is magic out there, all flowing with songs that resonate with the awe of the universe. You help give that feeling for many who have lost it. Thank you sir!

[@sm0key622]

I’ve watched you for years. And still at the end i’m like “damn” “sick” and when u finally disappeared everything I was like”fuckkkkkkk” and ive watch this millions of times. I know whats coming but fuckkkk tooo good. Would love to have a chance to watch u live one day. Hope you win AGT man

[@arijeetdasgupta9818]

So finally the ministry of Magic approved using magic outside Hogwarts

[@seraphwithatank6535]

No, that's the funnest part.

[@asdfkeyboard9807]

Damn really gotta say that? It's legit so annoying when people refer Magic to "Harry potter" (harry potter sucks anyway) so ye

[@rogeriobaka]

Dam this is much better than the first version. It is so clean and smooth. He is a true Master.

[@harryseth4323]

A shining example of how the right mixture of talent, music, theatrics, & stage lighting combines to create a masterpiece. Feel blessed to have seen this live

[@vladimirvarlack1619]

Shin Lim is the Michael Jackson of close up magic. He even checked queen Annie to see if she was ok. 👌 then he stole all the Aces like a smooth criminal. What a thriller, and at the end he even shows that he knows he is bad. Keep up the good work man.

[@siddhantvyas2007]

WoAAAA GUDDDD

[@fastballonly]

Vladimir Varlack Haha!! Nicely put!

[@marcoantoniotorres4924]

One of the most creative comments I have ever seen lmaoo.

[@jeffarab4947]

Hahahahahahaah mj

[@Arcessitor]

@@marcoantoniotorres4924 Listing song titles is one of the most creative comments ever?

[@gtiman67]

This is the closest thing to real magic that we'll ever experience on this Earth, Shin Lim🤷‍♂️👏👏👏👏👏

[@johnhernandez3134]

I bought this trick a few years ago and still love it! Thank you Shin Lim for being one heck of a performer, magician, creator!

[@mayorrodgers7446]

I know how to do the entire fist part of this. You know, when he takes the cards out of the box.

[@MrBoDiggety]

LOL!

[@Juubith95]

But can you make it look like ballet?

[@sr.jeffidoodle1413]

Dude, you just gave it away!😡 Lol

[@salim9059]

Hehe

[@garthbekkerbuksie4338]

Lol

[@rockisrealmusic5338]

Shin lim is arguably the best card magician in the history of card magic. Ive never ever seen anything like this ever before. Truly sensational.

[@selfmademanhi9210]

Well done I think u will be one of the greatest magician of our generation

[@selfmademanhi9210]

With hardworking ;)

[@VijayKanta]

He already is. No doubts.

[@fxprocc]

the magic is not what but how. Not many people in the planet are as good as this guy with a deck of cards. he is truly unique.

[@arupsarkar6114]

Not only your magic but your expressions are also fantastic. This makes your shows all the more lively and enjoyable. Thank you so much for making us happy. God bless you.

[@squawkz1970]

Nobody comes close to to Shin. A true masterclass

[@sirpaul9962]

Squawkz jibrizy

[@AJ-jp1kd]

yu hojin 2012 performance comes close

[@mihirdesai8789]

God of magic !!! I have watched this trick a 100 times and still I love watching you over and over. you’re just PERFECT ! and great.. I took 10 minutes to type this comment because I was speechless....❤️❤️

[@shawnchia3611]

What else is there to say.. incredible sleight of hand and great play-by-play rhythm with the music to keep us entranced.

[@augustb7535]

I’ve literally been watching all of your work. By far my favorite magician in history and for years to come

[@donmunro144]

I grew up around magic,having 2 uncles that where members of the ama.I have had the pleasure of watching some of the best. I would love to watch this man in person.

[@chrisholt612]

Dropping a like on this video for the sole reason that your hair was fucking dope.

[@WarlordRising]

Finally, a highly skilled illusionist/magician that has good taste in music.

[@neoniahazelwood9263]

I am happy that Shin Lim has his own KZbin channel .

[@TiffanyStarr2141]

I never knew Magic tricks could be so beautiful until watching Shin Lim

[@helpmeedu]

No matter how many times you see it, it will be astonishingly amazing every single one of'em What a gifted person he is. My idol!

[@thomasstephen3340]

Watch this every day and still impressed. :D

[@KinnereyB]

As a magician I can honestly say after seeing this, dream, and your ambitious card 100 times it never gets old. This is an ART and you have made it more than that. Idk how your mind works but what you do is the definition of Magic. 👏🏻

[@marshallgears9743]

Yeah, as a magician myself. He truly bring a new approach to magic. Beautiful choreograph of sleight of hand. Hes simply took basic card tricks and performed it with series of tricks using sleight of hand. He just showing off his skill and technique to the crowd not to mention, It works brilliantly with the music. Truly an artist. I guess people love skillful performer.

[@KinnereyB]

@@marshallgears9743 I wouldn't exactly call 52 shades of red a routine that took old tricks... That involves the cards to be produced from nowhere apparently, then slowly banish what you created a bit at a time before changing all the backs and then all the fronts...then back again, then all gone. But that trick, notwithstanding, I agree with you. Dream is a combo of a top change mixed with a mercury card fold, using the deck as an excuse to get the card in his mouth as the smoke misdirects. It uses duplicates, etc, so I agree with you on THAT act. And honestly his ambitious card is a new, fresh way of looking at that routine and the props he decided to use. The clear cards before the omni deck was genius, changing from blue to red but one card after a deck switch, all of these concepts are the and so visual it fools all of us the first few times we watch it! Dyanmo said of Shin Lim "His magic os sp spectacularly visual that it looks like CGI special effects, Lennerts Green called him "A master of deception filled with poetry in every movement." Pretty high praise. And Penn says of Dream that "It's his all time fav act on Fool Us." I thanked him personally and unbelievably his mom responded personally! She said get hets 1--texts/messages per minute! So I'm gonna print and frame it!

[@xristosa7152]

i have watched this multiple times. Easily one of the most beautiful magic tricks i have ever seen and some of the best slight of hand bits that is out there.

[@jamespeterson9620]

I don’t care how many times I see this performance! I love it.

[@tenglei2]

i come back every year to watch shin's performances. truly amazing, THE Magician of our era

[@chilidog73]

A true showman. One of the greatest manipulators of our time.

[@Stevenontour]

This is the Best magic I have ever seen. It's awesome

[@DeepakKumar-gb2st]

True inspiration my love from india .. u are the best ever

[@elsa675]

Shin sir I am from India I watch four vedio everyday I am big fan of you sir

[@neoniahazelwood9263]

One million loves for 52 Shades of Red card performance and the beautiful compatible soundtrack.

[@maryjanebesonia9161]

Just watched you in AGT. ..in an instant I fell inlove with your magic sir.

[@davidsirmons]

Holy shit, all this guy's videos make my jaw hit the floor. This is phenomenal, what a performer! GIVE HIM HIS OWN ACT IN VEGAS NOW!!!

[@wreckim]

I admire many magicians, D.Blaine especially for taking way further than magic. However, Shin is the only one that has ever made me feel as if the magic is there, and then we get a real person, just like us, back right after the act. I know I'm not expressing myself correctly, but most magicians try to have an 'act' all the time. And because Shin doesn't do this, he actually touches the heart. Something I've never experienced before, and perhaps the most magical thing he does.

[@melissaburkhart3421]

I think he’s absolutely amazing he is probably the only magician out there that makes me believe that Magic is real!! He just makes it look so effortless and beautiful!!

[@sohaibyounus]

Remember seeing it when it first came out, watching it now after 6 years and its still so amusing! This will never get old!

[@polatiger4765]

Well it's obvious! He learned to freeze time!

[@wangsunhakhun4314]

hahahahahah...

[@siemtharsuantah]

Really? 🤔

[@rukonxaior7192]

Za warudo!

[@raizel9560]

[@tuomasvihavainen3976]

Thats the easiest way to do this

[@nicoleminnick8615]

Very beautiful performance, I love the music as well. That definitely adds to it. Well it's already flawless. Hehe. 💗 Good luck on AGT.

[@marcoantoniotorres4924]

And he won.... twice!

[@TUFRIDEGPGT]

I've watched this performance dozens and dozens of times now and I still ball my eyes out during it. It's so flawless and to hear the cheering by that audience is nothing like other magician acts. This act single-handedly changed the world in many different ways that aren't even attached to magic, to begin with. Magic is all over television and movies now, integrated into tv shows as character traits and a hobby that isn't as "dorky" as it used to be. This is based on me thinking that you are the reason this has happened, period. Even if you don't follow magic your name is known by people. Like how everyone knows who Michael Jordan is. Magic doesn't evolve without your name in the mix, along with many others currently but, we're here talking up Shinny at the moment. Brilliant skills coming from someone that watches so much content it's kind of gross. Think Abed, from Community, that much content. The End.

[@9sunskungfu]

My favourite magician to watch, im just so in awe of what he does. Simply Amazing !

[@moselyokman]

his best magic is his hair, so wonderful!

[@eruokay]

this is not magic this is art

[@VilgotMichelin]

Nope... it's just Warlock level 65 powers...

[@chrischungy]

This is not magic nor art. This is magic-art.

[@eruokay]

stop it with the pun

[@aleksnguyen5818]

It's M-art

[@aleksnguyen5818]

No wait it's WallM-art please line up and proceed to check out

[@matthewlundrideordie8151]

I just wanted to tell you thank you for showing us something that i had no idea existed. Since i saw your first performance on penn and teller i cant tell you how many hours i have spent watching cardistry. So beautiful !

[@jayreynolds8647]

So very true! That is where I saw him perform as well, and led me to the ones I am currently learning from (bottom floor of the iffel tower Lim's on lol)

[@lelouchvibritannia9106]

+Jay Reynolds its a bad trick, only works on stage cause he's ditching everything on the floor, and using cards with black backs so they look invisible when turned over.

[@MikeandKatieShow]

Stunning. So smooth. So beautiful. Been watching cards tricks for long time and this is still amazing and original.

[@quanthinh3487]

It's not only the tricks you did. It's the way you did them. So passionate!!

[@carlosrebolo1367]

I've watched it like 100 times fabolous!!!! greats from Portugal 🇵🇹

I’ve watched your act on AGT 2018 many times already . It’s brilliant and ridiculous Sir! I wish you to win the show then.

[@johnsu913]

I think the best thing I've done in my life so far was buying the tickets to watch this show live. You're definitely the best Shin Lim! (Had the privilege to take a photo with him too!) XD

[@carahcorn8241]

[@sharyahmichel7876]

Shin Lim is my favorite and will always be!! ☺️☺️

[@matthewwood7245]

Simply Amazing person..and Awesome magic too! Best of Everything to you.

[@joemcgowan6304]

Shin Lim is the MAN. Love him. And I think he kinda looks like the Asian Michael Jackson.

[@leslielandry8051]

that was my first thought too! Amazing sleight of hand, cannot believe it, lots of hours of practice for certain. Found by accident but will follow with awe! love this man!

[@schoeppi-gh4wy]

Pachimaris for the win

[@ciao614]

I was just going to make a comment about how much he reminds me of Michael or Janet Jackson. Maybe there's a correlation somewhere there? He does have that quiet mystery about him like Michael had. And that sexiness.

[@neoniahazelwood9263]

Yes he does remind me of Michael Jackson. I thought I was the only one who could see the resemblance!

[@jackliu5269]

Not really, consider Michael Jackson's look had been changed to look that way.

[@goofoff0726]

It's fantastic I love your trick

[@6977warrior1]

I don't care what anyone says, Shin looks like and acts like Michael Jackson when MJ is performing on stage. That's not an insult.

[@jackliu5269]

You mean the look MJ artificially changed into?

[@michaelfambawl6013]

i keep on watching again and again... over again and again... a true innovative act in this era

[@bguzewi0]

I’ve watched this routine probably 7-8 times, and each time I’m just as blown away as the first. I’m pretty sure you’re an actual sorcerer, dude.

[@Darkraz]

This is beyond magical....you have created a new captivating art form

[@VilgotMichelin]

No no! He have just reached warlock level 65!

[@theR0NIN]

Created? No. Perfected? YES.

[@anikak4418]

I hope one day I'll have the privilege of watching your shows live. I can watch your videos over and over again and still be amazed.

[@thecubingmagician1071]

WOW!!! I've already got 52 shades v2 but I'm still so excited about v3. I'm definitely gonna buy it 100%

[@VilgotMichelin]

Yeahhhh.... uhh... it's not coming... OR IS IT?!??!?......... Yeah... it is...

[@liamtideswell4970]

V3 is epic 👌

[@dubzzyedmer8380]

This shit ain’t sleight of hand anymore it’s actual sorcery

[@littlelegend5133]

[@kradrol]

you are half right. this shit ain't sleight of hand...

[@stravis9410]

This guy has got to be the best magician in the world today absolutely unbelievable

[@standogg9348]

This guy is from another planet,surely the best card magician there is today or ever

[@ChrisDallasDualped]

Love your style Shin Lim and I hope you win AGT this year! You are the greatest slight of hand hands down..you need one of my Dualpeds and make it disappear lol..

[@stefanmodigh7897]

2018: Wow, this is amazing! Middle Ages: Bring your torches and pitch forks!

[@niemandschuldet]

Card tricks are boring. But shin Lim makes me shiver! soooo amazing! this performance ist one of the most beautiful I have ever seen!

[@drakedraven6961]

Card tricks are far better than being a mentalist and an illusionist when it comes to magic.

[@afinc7794]

Penn and Teller said it best...the performance is clean and perfect. You bring a new brand of creativity, polish-ness and showmanship that has re-new the core of card magic.

[@arnoldsherrill6305]

Your magic is incredible and watching it has inspired me as a disabled person to work on my dexterity. my wish is to just once perform a magic trick even a simple magic trick with a deck of cards ,keep inspiring everyone who watches this. You have made me a fan not only of yours ,but of magic as well.

[@midhathidayat]

Subscribed with lots of love ❤ you're the best magician I've ever seen Shin lim tricked on my hands, can't stop watching your videos swear!

[@chicoulino]

Wow!! So this is the famous 52 Shades of Red Act? It's amazing, but I assure you, you're much better on AGT. I couldn't imagine that could be possible. Epsecially your first two acts were out of this world. Keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to being amazed once again at the Semi-Finals. You got this Shin Lim. Don't forget to wink.

[@batfacedgirl]

"EXCUSE ME?" - my reaction to everything this wizard does

[@rorschach7697]

WOW!!! What else can be uttered after that presentation?? Dear Shin Lim, you are my absolute FAVORITE close up card magician, card mechanic and mind blower working today, and that says alot as you have taken the place of Dynamo, the unbelievable David blaine who brought close up card magic into the public eye again when it was somewhat hibernated at the time and his televised Street Magic blew minds and eyes and gave young and old that sense of wonder again, and the classic great Teller who Penn admits is the greatest close up card magician working today. So as you see, I have a very deep love, passion, and utter respect toward these men... So when I say you are my favorite close up card magician working today, that is the greatest complement and heart felt respect I can give... You are in the shoes of all the greats from I'm sure have created such magic from before the time of the pharaohs. Thank you so much Shin Lim for Blowing My Mind Out Of My Head, as usual haha!! God Bless Shin Lim!!!!!👽

[@kwabenatenkorang7342]

It's ain't even about the magic, it's about the performance! Great!

[@911shan]

Shin, I can see you to this routine a 1000 times, in ultra HD slow mo or after being filmed by a potato, and regardless, I will never know how you do it. The finesse is next level lol

[@iqbalhenderi9260]

No need to use that all. What you need juast a creative thinking and you get all of it. Plus some sleight of hand. Note, i dindt reveal anything right? Because Shin Lim is a real wizard, that why he can did like that.

[@VilgotMichelin]

He's not a wizard! He's a Warlock level 65...

[@iqbalhenderi9260]

YES ! AGREE!

[@SpicyOxiClean]

well i’ll help alittle. when he makes cards appear and disappear you never see the back of the card do you? it’s because the back is black like the table. when he goes to squat down you can see he pulls them to the edge of the table to get them out the way. that’s 1 trick you now know how to do😉

[@SlasherNL]

Not edge of the table, atleast not always.. The black velvet mat has sleeve pockets and he slides cards in and out of it.

[@annafs195]

5:29 omg. He's eyes... He melt ma heart

[@swarnalathanasika6781]

Amazing bgm!!

[@knightrider1803]

Oh my god you are seriously gifted...... I saw many of the magic shows on KZbin you are the best and amazing magician I must admit it and I think everyone who has seen your acts......... Your act is clean and clear without any doubt...... You are sooooo talented man love you........

[@supersnappahead]

It really does look like real magic that's being disguised as slight of hand. It's extraordinary.
