Magician REACTS to Shin Lim 52 Shades of Red

[@brandonsatterstrom7894]

Dude... the silence makes the routine. No words could improve on this act, it could only loose its class...

[@EduardTodor]

Personally I'd prefer audience interaction. But then again it's more of a stage act, so I do understand why he does it the way he does. It's just my personal preference

[@Vick615]

That's what demon magic is

[@markithesharki27]

[@geecee4268]

Shin Lim is by far the most remarkable slight of hand, close up, card magician I've seen. Regardless of how it's done, his work appears effortless & supernatural.

[@giswantramroop1910]

Wonderful

[@LuisRdzG10]

Have you seen Eric Chien?

[@ibrahimegan6863]

its not a camera angle thing. check the AGT audition video with tyra nearby. its close up magic.

[@jordanpamungkasnasution8209]

if you as a magcian blown your mind watching Shin lin.. What do you think when we watch it.. He the real devil

[@9181shreyasbhatt]

intresting to note. wow from a non-magician comes at 5:32 while the wow from a magician comes at 5:37

[@jewishisrael8485]

some people complain.and.react because no one can beat the real magic that shin have😆😆😆😆

[@ghostwolfyeah]

shouldn't Shin Lim's video be the larger video?

[@TruthWillPrevail1]

ghostwolfyeah not really cause the video it’s called magician REACTS, so its focus on his reaction.

[@duaneaeron5432]

You should watch the original video dude, this is not "shin lim's video posting on my channel for you to able to watch it"

[@AntonioBenetti]

i bought 52 shades v3 this week and now that i know how the tricks are done i'm even more impressed by how creative this guy really is

[@aleksilaine2758]

Antonio Benetti does the version 3 teach how to do that opening thing Shin did in this performance (when he produced the deck out of no where)

[@nicholasbenoite5847]

Aleksi Laine yeah and its all very creative.

[@nicholasbenoite5847]

There are tricks that you can know and when you see them preformed, they are nice but boring. Even knowing most of Shins card tricks and his slights, I could never get bored, because trying to practice to his level is frustrating and yet so fun trying..

[@nicholasbenoite5847]

It doesnt show the deck reveal, but once you know the illusion, the deck reveal is not needed to be shown on video

[@dixonyamada6969]

@@aleksilaine2758 i know u commented 2 years ago but my guess is that he's pulling back a piece of black cloth that reveals the cards. The illusion is that he's just making cards appear out of nowhere, and the shadow of his fingers give the illusion that his hand is hovering over the cards, but I believe his hand is just angled upwards and with the lighting it casts a shadow over the cards while his palm drags a piece of black cloth to reveal the cards.

[@TheSilverCube86]

the pad where he put the card face down is warm or hot thats why he always put it face down to fully vanish the ink and some of the part of the pad is cold so he can reveal back the card. Here some link to it kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4i3kmNnrc2AmJI of proof how the ink works. And I think he use the vanishing ink to cards or a custom print cards.

[@paysonfox88]

Shin Lim is the 2015 Magic World Champion of Card magic from what I've read He is a performer and a good one. He does say that it takes very strong and flexible hands and fingers to do what he does.

[@NneonNTJ]

not only 2015 ;)

[@classicmail8239]

You see I'm not really a fan of conventional card magic or coin magic, it's sort of the escape magic of today's era, although I understand why veterans still like it. I think a lot of stage magic has lost its touch as well, people like David Copperfield etc, those types of massive stage illusions got ruined by the Masked Magician and everyone else who followed him. If anything it's gave magic a big nudge and made people step up, and it's because of that we have guys like Shin Lim or Kostya Kimlat who really push the boundaries of slight of hand and keep magic relevant in modern times, even when we have the ability to now analyse a routine in detail over and over.

[@marshallgears9743]

People actually love to see a skill performer. Sleight of hand is one of them. Like Shin Lim simply using cards to show people series of "sleight of hand" arts and people love it because he manage to perform it smoothly entertaining.

[@spdcrzy]

7:32 that was unnaturally sloppy for Shin.

[@markemerson98]

because theres no patter to distract, you focus on the magic and that makes it all the more impressive because you still dont catch the moves - bravo

[@aryad.2540]

I always get amazed when watching Shin Lim He is elegant, and so calm on the stage But, I never watch him play a close up magic...

[@EduardTodor]

Yeah, he doesn't do a lot of close up but the stuff he does is cool

[@edwardvanhalen123456]

I love watching your vids. I like how u open your vids with a magic trick everytime. Keep doin it buddy and thanks for all the vids

[@edwardvanhalen123456]

Do you have any idea how he made the deck appear out of nowhere in the beginning?

[@EduardTodor]

Thank you my man! Will do :) No I don't haha

😃😃😃😃😃 its only magic thats why we call magic tricks....and every one amazed ..then just enjoy watching

[@igorsvacic217]

I am so so sad Shin likes what he does.He is such a great performer,he is a killer with sleights,technical,smooth,and than asshole loves to do gimmickesd tricks,gaffs,etc.Man,he could be so great (i mean,he is great to many,this is just my opinion).... Damn you Shin Lim,cut the crap and start to do real magic,not that stage/forced perspective/trash behind table stuff.Do you want to go one day and be remembered as a greatest close up guy or as greatest gaff AB-user...

[@classicmail8239]

I actually really like his presentation, I think it gives you a greater appreciation for his sleight of hand, as he's not explaining what he's going to do, he just does it. I prefer it to the sort of "pick a card any card" type vocal tricks and I really like all the vanishes and colour changing he does. With the music it really feels magical and I think in a day and age where a lot of card moves are common knowledge it's actually a benefit to be able to leave people where they can't ask questions. I think if the magician has to explain to you as well as show you what he's doing, then it's more psychological and less magical, which I really love because I want to be left dumbfounded.

[@richardhawkins2647]

At the beginning when you see the aces and then the picture cards appear. You never see the backs of the picture cards. The backs are the same colour as the table. When the Aces disappear, he is using magnetic cards. But you have to give credit for his sleight of hand.

[@shreshtharora5311]

You should never reveal what you think

[@TM-dq4cz]

Shin lim magic is great,but it was extremely anglesensitive

[@JPumpkinKing]

Black felt table, black felt backed cards, and a controlled camera angle and lighting. Notice how he slides his hands to the back of the table. I'd sure like to see behind that table. Regardless, he has AMAZING skills that cannot be denied or laughed off. He's incredible at what he does.

The card dumps are a little too obvious but other than that, a really good performance

I tell there has to be a colony of Chinese monks up in the Himalayas popping these guys out like a factory. ANY contest they enter they win. Oh if you want your head BLOWN ! Shim Lim has a routine where he puts roses petals back into a complete rose , the brings it to his face blows on iy , you see (you expect cigarette) but the smoke freezes the rose solid. his last move is to just crush it to powder.

You say you don't like card tricks and music yet you open up with a card trick for your intro......

[@EduardTodor]

I don't like whole music routines with card tricks. I like card tricks, no doubt about that lol

[@Coalemos]

Is it a full deck? Something looks odd with the thickness of the deck. I saw the deck switch but apart from that, the moves looked flawless, almost like camera trickery. Dynamo did this too. Do you like Dynamo? I can't stand him. I think he is way, way too reliant on stooges, camera trickery and setup. I don't find anything original about him. I don't find his illusions particularly good. The thing that really, really annoys me are people making comments like, and I am quoting here, "Is he the next step in our evolution?". No, you fool, it's a trick. I have only found your videos yesterday and I already like you far better than him. I like your interest in the technicality of the trick but, unlike me, you can actually do them.

[@Brentster1953]

I would love to learn it for a performance on a very "special occasion", and I think I can make it memorable if I can perform that to a "Special somebody". May I ask for the name of the trick? Or maybe, is there a tutorial somewhere? I'll be waiting for your reply! ^^

[@ihraarcherftw]

Just ordered his newest deck . Lets see if i learn something :D

[@hectortafoya5269]

I believe it is a special deck, half of each card is red and blue on the back, and with the number and white in the front. So he always show them the same way and only shows half of each card when showing the deck. Of course this requires lots of practice!

[@loconoia]

he said it well, it's a differant performance (stage performance) Black table with different angle camera's and only 1 or 2 people around him, mostly actors or crewmembers. It's still very impressive for us normal people but offcourse we all know it's still slight of hand. He doesn't break him, on the contrary he respects his hard work and great performance. Keep it up Shin!

[@davidmdyer838]

A lot of people say he doesn't do close up, but he does another routine on Penn and Teller with audience members sitting at the table, so I don't think it's a trick table and I don't think he's dropping cards at his feet. He seems to manage a mercury fold and doing stuff with his sleeves, but sometimes he misdirects like he's palming and then shows his palm, so something else happens. In the other routine he makes a marker disappear and P&T can't even figure out how he does that. Not a magician but he performs with people at his elbows and gets closeup awards so it seems like closeup to me.

Shin Lim is the GOAT of close up card magic never seen anybody as good as he is. I like his music too. The second song is Outro my M83 can anyone tell me who is doing the first one? Very beautiful I must say.

[@KennyVee]

Wow. I mean...I *may* have caught one of the dozens of moves that he did. And I could be wrong about that. You've mentioned in reply to me before that you're familiar with the kind of smoke effects used (with which I am not familiar, so it still blows me away). But, like, I compared this in my head to the Will Tsai coin matrix that was the first reaction I watched from you. And while I'm only maybe 70% sure I know how that was done, at least I was able to think of a way to do it. At first I thought that Shin Lim's trick used at least one of the same techniques I had in mind for Will Tsai, but by the end of the performance I knew that couldn't be the case. This performance? I'm am absolutely 0% sure that I know how it was done. This is the kind of magic that I love -- and hate. I love it because it genuinely fools me. I also hate it because I can't think of a single method with which to pull it off. But obviously, the love of feeling that wonder that I so rarely feel these days far outweighs my disdain at not being able to figure it out. I went to the Magic Castle in Hollywood once, and much of the audience was magicians. And if you can't fool a fellow magician, you probably won't be performing there. You called Shin Lim "high-level," and while I can't argue that, I'd go as far as "next-level" or even "unprecedented-level" for him. I was truly astounded. Beats the heck out of David Blaine trying to catch a bullet in his mouth (whether he succeeds or fails).

[@williamangel4370]

He did a very similar routine last night on Penn and Teller fool us last night. During his intro he explained that he was asked to come back during season 2 but, couldn't because of an accident that cut 2 of the tendons in his hand. He stated that he thought his magic career was over. Shin lim is a great card magician. I've shown his Fool Us routine to people who don't care for magic and they couldn't look away and were in awe. Thanks for the video man, keep up the work

[@EduardTodor]

Eh some things are easier to catch than others

[@FelixEddin]

Easy mistake.lol

[@Dragon4Soul]

There were a few mistakes in there but overall he's pretty clean considering how many tricks are involved and it doesn't take away from all the things he does flawlessly.

[@invictuz4803]

That wasn't a mistake lol, that just shouldn't have been in the routine. Not sure why his plan was to physically bring the cards down with his hand instead of just dropping it.

[@TheBrianphantana]

He didn't drop nor grabbed a new deck. I believe he used the cooler trick. Place the cooler on the bottom and when he hand comes over the deck he flips the deck the with other hand. Notice how he also holds the cards on his right hand. You can tell he's cupping the bottom so the cards won't slip out. Look up "cooler deck switch" to know what I'm saying.

[@haraldschuster3067]

My guess for SOME parts of it: Since he does not do this "close up" he has a reason ^^ I'd guess he uses the super absorbant cloth and he has the first deck of cards on top of the table but hidden underneath a cloth of the same fabric.With this super absorbant cloth you have NO reflections you cannot see if there is a pile on the table or not. It always looks flat. When he fans out the deck he "just" fans them out and keeps the covering cloth in his hands to discard it later. The same might be used when he turns 1 card into 3 because it does not look like a back to back number - this really seems to be a single card he starts with. As an alternative one of the cards could be coated with the same material which would be easier, I guess, than a cloth.

[@samzheng5803]
