Wes Barker is a Canadian magician and comedian doing funny tricks, and telling great stories. You may know me from my TV show Big Trick Energy (truTV, HBOmax, Netflix). Watch here for hilarious, ridiculous, and unfiltered ideas with magic, stunts, and pranks. Either I'm the funniest magician who is also a stand-up comic, or maybe I'm the comic who is the best at magic? Either way you get the idea. I tour all over doing colleges, comedy clubs, and corporate events. Catch the adventures and tricks right here. With this magician / comedian from Vancouver, based out of Toronto, Canada. I make funny stuff. That’s my only rule. Everything has to be funny, from street magic to stage illusions, as long as there is a joke to be made. I do magic tricks, sketches, stand-up comedy, card tricks, mind reading, and tricks with naked people. I’ve been on America’s Got Talent, Penn & Teller: Fool Us, MTV Greatest Party Stories Ever, and Wizard Wars. You can find me pulling pranks on friends, gags on strangers, or just general sleight of hand, magic, illusions, and the occasional bar bet. Wes Barker also hosts a podcast with Chris Ramsay called Bottom Of The Barrel. Go check it out!

Wes is unreal. This happened IN FRONT OF ME and I didn't see it

[@mcspartan1227]

He took your son!? Report him to the governing body of magic that is shape based. -peace

[@K_Ray_Kenneth_Raymond]

Oh buddy, I watched this on my lunch break and I couldn't wait to do this to my girlfriend.my girlfriend always tries to ruin tricks. She flipped over the fuck you card as soon as I put it in her hand and we were in tears laughing for at least 5 minutes

[@WesBarker]

This is amazing. Perfect 😂

[@AmsterdamAlliance]

You guys need to make more episodes of Big Trick Energy! I binged it all in one day and need more please :P

[@Lucifer__Morningstar_]

Watching you laughing and being happy about that FU gave me great joy😂 Definitely gonna use that one, maybe a 'nice try' would fit the card, too:)

[@WesBarker]

That would fit great

[@Blondie42]

Perhaps, in terms of pairing with a forced card, drawing a hand written number and symbol on the blank card like your own custom A♠️ and then have them draw the actual ace then when they look at the bottom they still see an ace but and obvious fake for a very similar affect. Just tossing out an idea. Or merely writing a message as you said.

[@addventure2863]

The PG version!

[@Blondie42]

In terms of performing for your friend I certainly loved that you swapped out the 5♣️ with a special custom card. Wasn't expecting that extra piece of awesomeness.

[@TheDarkie89]

I just love that you named your deck 2nd 🤣 Love the trick !

[@Ad3n27]

Nobody: Wes: Literally prints a blank card in his custom deck to make fun of his audience 😂

[@khzhak]

I just got a deck on kickstarter, JLB, the ace of spades has a middle finger on it. this would be perfect with that card xD

[@astrobot3038]

The obvious move now is for Chris Ramsay to release “None” playing cards.

[@WesBarker]

😂 yes!

[@robschmid5565]

No no this should be from Alex or Eric LOL

[@jacobkodad3065]

My 2nd To None deck just went from being just like any other deck in my collection to one of my favorites. Trick worked great! I don't even have a 1st deck.

[@katlynvasselo1150]

Im tellin chris 🤣

[@ncWOLFsu]

Love this trick! And it's a great way to sell your 2ND cards. I bought 2 decks! Keep the awesome content coming, Wes.

[@katlynvasselo1150]

Thats not a normal deck of cards... thems the super fancy 2nd playing cards..😌

[@TB-jg2oq]

True: I hear they are 2nd to none

[@Grant-H2O]

This is awesome !!! Thanks bro

[@Fast_Eddy_Magic]

Love this one. Thank you. Screw you is milder if you don't want to use that word. Gotcha is good for everyone, but fu is so funny.

[@davefaust9670]

Great trick. I love that it's not super technical, but has a great payoff. I bought a brick of 2nd2none cards,and I love them. Beautiful and they handle great!

[@patrickmcnelis1520]

That was fun. Just simply fun. I remember seeing this in older videos of yours and still love the reactions from the victims. Thank you for taking us behind the curtains.....wait. Also, just watched the Car Prov video! Epic. So dam funny. They got a new subscriber for sure.

[@Hadiplaysmusic]

More tutorials please! Love it!

[@nikolarjaniko]

You can also do an ambitious card routine from here with the FU if you see that they're chill and just keep saying: This deck really hates you doesn't it?

[@mikenichol4040]

Well done and totally using your deck theyre great thankfully I got 2 decks. And love the digs to 1st lol 😆😄😂

[@DumbfoundedMadman]

"You don't have to be 1st...." I see what you did there. Payback for that escape room shock therapy? LOL

[@DavidM-lj5yv]

Oh yes a new Wes video!! And a card magic one--- nice!!! Watching your content always makes my day just a tad better-- you're awesome Wes. Also-- As a Hobbyist who really enjoys learning card sleight of hand-- I am having a serious issue lately of the spec turning their card over too early after I do a DL-- I try to be very clear-- "hold the card between your fingertips and don't move etc"-- but they look too early!!! I don't know-- I really can't tell them after I place a s***** card in their hand-- "whatever you do, DO NOT look at the card"!!! Ugh!!!!

[@repeater64]

If they're looking after you place the card in your hand, that means the switch is not convincing enough. They believe you may have switched it so they're checking. If you can do a switch convincing enough they'll never look because they genuinely believe they already know what the card is. Another tip: Use this patter. "Could you just hold out your hand flat for me?" (whilst showing face of the card) "Yeah just hold it out flat" (whilst turning over or switching card or whatever" "I'm just gonna place this 5 of clubs in your hand, can you just put your other hand on top so I can't get to it?" I'd say that's probably gonna work every time.

[@DavidM-lj5yv]

@@repeater64 Thank you for your advice. Magic is still just a Hobby- but lately after I get off work I go out and perform at restaurants, etc-- I haven't had this issue nearly as much lately. Your suggestion on how to place the card in spec's hand is much appreciated. Thanks.

[@repeater64]

@@DavidM-lj5yv sounds like you’ve got more performance experience than me then! But that advice isn’t based on my minimal personal experience, but rather on things I’ve noticed from good performers I’ve seen. I’m curious about the restaurant thing, do you just go up to people and ask to show them magic? Do you ask restaurant owners first? Tell me a bit more about it!

[@DavidM-lj5yv]

@@repeater64 It's actually a combination of both-- there are a few local restaurants and bars where I know the owner/s and they like when I come and perform magic to their patrons. But more so these days--- I will be at a restaurant with a friend, etc and approach a random table and ask them if they don't mind me showing them a couple things. I usually just start with a very quick coins across type routine== quick and visual -- and then usually they want to see more so I'll break out the cards. I really enjoy it and never thought I'd be approaching random tables of people at restaurants!!!-- I got into magic as my own personal journey while I was going through a very rough divorce a couple years ago. I needed something to apply my mind to after work. But I have found over these past 6 mos that I really enjoy putting myself on the line and performing for random people. I run an Investment Company here in the Los Angeles area. A couple weeks ago another CEO from an Investment Firm down the street from mine asked me to come over to their offices and perform magic in their conference room for around 12 of their top execs-- I was SO nervous-- But I pulled off a great performance and really enjoyed it. So what started as my own personal journey-- has actually turned in to me really enjoying performing for random people. Thanks!!!!

[@repeater64]

@@DavidM-lj5yv so interesting to hear, thanks for sharing your story!

[@flusterzero]

Thanks Wes. The power in this trick is classy. Gave it some thought and tried it with a 2nd deck and WOW! After my first time doing this, the tricks true power began to show. My bald spots began shooting out new hair like bamboo stocks as my body contorted to its 30 year old self again! So I preform it once more. Suddenly my culinary skills were comparable to Ratatouille. And again? Well lets just say I met my future wife! Thank you for restoring my decrepit body of 41 years and ending all financial worry in my life!

[@toolebukk]

Thank You! ❤️

[@addventure2863]

This is golden

[@munknown9722]

Cool video, Wes!

[@GaryCunninghamyouareenough]

🤣 - Brilliant Wes. Great tutorial - and I got to follow along with my very own 2nd Deck 🤟 (such a nice deck by the way 👏👏👏) I'm off to try this on my girlfriend - here's hoping she is still my girlfriend afterwards...or not 🤷‍♂🤣 #2ndtonone

[@jonathanleprenom]

Just have one question from a French guy here, and I know you’re Canadian so what should I write in French?

[@DeathclawJedi]

Neat! Not much good at card tricks but always liked them. Hey Wes I have a question though. You talked about how the person might not look and how it wouldn't necessarily mean the trick went south. But it got me thinking. What trick have you done that went haywire or wrong that made you laugh? Uncooperative or clueless audience member trick or just an oops on your part where you just had to shake your head and laugh.

[@JRMurdock99]

Oh my! I have a deck of your cards and this will be the first trick I pull on My Favorite Daughter. LoL

[@jakesixty-three4738]

I’ve never really had someone try to look at the bottom card after I do a double left but I have had someone try to look at the second card

[@sirartyparty7946]

F-U had me dying! Love it Wes 🔥

[@katlynvasselo1150]

Oh snap.. teach us card wizardry..

[@mitfreundlichengrussen1234]

Gotcha!

[@devin7739]

Awesome!

[@HenkJanBakker]

Now Wes. You are a creative guy. How about constructing this as a trick. Same setup but you *do* let them sign the card. But when you flip the top card it is the picked card *without* the signature. They will assume you used a duplicate and flip the deck over...... *BUT* The bottom card is a blank card with just their signature. "Oops, I forgot to teleport your signature." Or variation;. Get a blank card signed and have it come out as a card the picked with their signature on it. Totally different ball park trick but I bet you could do this.

[@youravantgarde]

That's so funny

[@josiamemmel8767]

knew that the girlfriend of my Dad would 100% fall for this, she did, 10/10, would highly reccomend!

[@TUFRIDEGPGT]

I love this..Always have. I love the Fuck You moment but, if you had to do the trick without it maybe one could write "This is not the 10 of spades" on it? So you'd obviously have to force the card on them but, maybe another fun variation for the easily offended....lol.

[@bernhard8540]

I'm ordering a brick of 2nd tonight when I get home haha I been waiting to be able to order and finally can ❤️ how many bricks do I need to order to get you and the wife to sign a deck? Haha im only partially kidding ❤️

[@love.wildly.live.fearlessly]

Wes- If your personality can’t handle fuck you I get it. Me- fuck you IS my personality.

[@EffOhExPawpad]

I wanna know how you got him to pick the card again.. XD

[@NewNormac]

What a crusher!! & Great SSP (shameless self promotion) you’re gettin’ it my man drop those cards everywhere, even under a unicorn ~Smile oN

[@NewNormac]

You could have called this life lessons w/Wes

[@PMX]

Do all youtubers know each other?

[@zappababe8577]

Don't hand the cards over until they're in magician's cards.

[@robschmid5565]

Wes love the trick and love the content you make. Just have a question for you. Why are all your prices in your shop in USD? We all know your Canadian. What gives?

[@WesBarker]

90% of my audience is American so this makes it so much easier on average.

[@robschmid5565]

@@WesBarker I want to say that's fair, but at the same time, I feel it's too Canadian to just accept that. But being Canadian... Fair enough... Also, damn great job on the quick response.
