Magician REACTS to SHIN LIM AGT Winner

[@shinlimmagic]

Loved this bro! Love ya too ♥️

[@amukelanimakhuvele2791]

Shin you rock Bro, I hope you win this one

[@GrantLulu]

Definitely hope you win this bro! I'm in Canada and we love you here too!

[@georger868]

Just incredible showmanship man! UN UNBELIEVABLE!

[@JustLikeTazz]

No matter what happens tonight, I dont think there is any possible way you dont end up with a vegas show after this. You were insane on Penn and teller, and you just stepped it up to a whole level on agt. Good luck man

[@2buxaslice]

Scale of 1 to 10 how hosed would you have been had she said spades? ;)

[@AB23YT]

AND HE WON.....THE MAGIC COMMUNITY GOT IT DONE

[@springbloom5940]

Aizad Bilal Best trick hes pulled off, yet.

[@joelnederveen1486]

Did he win?

[@alexprospero5816]

Soufflé Girl That performance was just for fun, no pressure, the voting I believe was closed before the finale started. He won based off his finals performance, which was amazing. Can’t wait to see how it looks when he’s worked on it more and polishes it.

[@mxwlsadventures]

Breaking News! 9 of Hearts appearing all over the world!

[@krism3771]

Is this the legendary Wriggles Lantern?

[@romeronolasco7442]

mxwl hahah

[@FusionDeveloper]

Yeah, really made me mad. I was about to take a bite of food and it turned into a 9 of hearts. I went to the store to buy more food and when i went to pay, my wallet cards and cash bills had turned into 9 of hearts. Now I'm starving and nothing to eat. Darn it Shin, what am I going to do with all these cards?

[@cicciogrecia]

Jaw dropping trick. Normal person: DAAAAMN, WTF?? Magician: Nice...

[@ChubbyChecker182]

Shin Lim would win Universe's Got Talent. Mind You I don't think this trick was as good as others he has done, but I understand he had to 'go big' for the final and also could not repeat his previous stuff.

[@springbloom5940]

ChubbyChecker182 A lot of the other stuff he did, largely went over everyone's head, because they arent magic fans. I think his most stunning performance, despite its simplicity, was his second audition, with Olivia.

[@my_family_journal]

Spring Bloom i thought so as well. The way the cards disappeared were too wowww!!

[@alkamelky]

The only competition would be Tokio Myers from bgt

[@MinhKevinLAM]

I liked the act but it surprised me a lot because it doesn't feel like it's a Shin Lim act at all. He's truly evolved and changed his style over the course of AGT. And I do think he listened to Simon (not about the cards but about what Simon said meant which I think was something along the lines of : "If you stick so hard to the close up magic, it's gonna tire everyone and you won't win") in the sense of he tried to do more stage act after Simon critique than close up act leading ultimately to this final act.

[@captaintortuga3191]

Dude I think Simon's advice had nothing to do with it. I think Shin had that act in development for MONTHS before he ever even got through the auditions. I might be wrong, but I would bet that he had each evolution of his AGT performances storyboarded and in rehearsal before he even applied to be on the show.

[@MinhKevinLAM]

Shin posted a video posted just a few hours ago in which he said that he only had 7 days to prepare for this act. While I'm not in Shin's head I think he planned to do the dream act as his final act and Simon critique changed those plans "forcing" him to create this new act.

[@volitionant9682]

Minh Kevin LAM I agree in this sense simon’s critique may have actually helped shin to win the competition. If Simon hadn’t said that, shin would’ve carried on with his original style and the wider American audience may have found it too repetitive, as these days modern people have short attention spans and are thus the only valid way of keeping their attention is through highly visual and big stage tricks.

[@captaintortuga3191]

Wow! I haven't seen that yet. If that's true and he built that routine on the fly, that's even more impressive! Thanks for calling my attention to it.

[@sdsign4229]

As much as we enjoy Shin Lim’s card handling and ingenious tricks, what made him truly unique was always his presentation with grand music and his stage persona. I kinda like that he’s using his persona with other kinds of card tricks, since he can only use Dream Act and 52 Shades of Red so many times before it feels repetitive. Certainly he modifies it very well, like making this one about a prediction, but if he’s gonna survive in Vegas for long-term success, he’s gonna have to do things that are more “stage-y”, and by that very nature, it won’t "feel like Shin Lim”, at least in terms of cards. This act was his way of saying, “Yeah, I do Vegas,” and all the judges believe him! So yeah, we ought to be prepared for a new version of Shin Lim. I say, “new version” and not “new Shin Lim" because his persona and music is what makes him “Shin Lim”, which, let’s be honest, should NEVER change :) But not only should we expect it, we should embrace it for the future of magic.

[@nhjardim77]

Eduard really enjoyed the reactions you have done to all of Shin Lim's performances.. much respect all the way from South Africa

[@nhjardim77]

@Walambedabadubuda he is from Auckland New Zealand

[@coolmagicforum6018]

I thought this was a really great preview of what a Shin Lim Vegas show would look like. Truly spectacular! I've seen a lot of comments tonight picking #Shintowin

[@Eromatics]

I watched this on tv and was impressed then but I always enjoy getting your reaction on them too. Very excited that he won, and I'm sure he got a bunch of votes from this video as well. Great video as always. Look forward to the next!

[@sparty954]

IMO, Shin Lim deserves to win based on pure talent !! If I was going to pay to see one of the finalists perform, it would be Shin Lim. On the other hand , if Courtney wants to pay ME to watch her shriek for an hour, I “might” do it....😵😵

[@markpointer2967]

Sparty 954 What I think you’re completely missing, is that this is NOT a magicians contest. It is a TALENT contest. So if the judges are not, themselves, knowledgeable magicians, who realise how hard it is to do, say, Shin’s moves (the way Penn & Teller do), then they won’t appreciate how much talent is involved, and that person may not progress. The judges have experience of judging talent across the board. If they think that a singer is better at pulling in a crowd than say, a card magician, then the singer will go further, even if, in your opinion, the card act is harder to to.

[@sparty954]

Mark Pointer I understand your point. But it was my opinion and now that doesn’t matter since SHIN LIM WON!!!!

[@markpointer2967]

Sparty 954 Yep! Well done Shim, and well won! 👍

[@sparty954]

Mark Pointer I do agree with you to a point. In the early rounds, it is the judges that send the talent through. But what YOU are COMPLETELY missing is that in the later rounds, it is America that is voting. Now, I am sure that some of the voters are magicians and can understand and appreciate the “moves that Shin does”. But the vast majority are regular Americans who might not have much experience with magic. The voters are voting based upon which act they feel they like the best and I agree with you , not based on how hard the moves are. It was only my opinion based on a TALENT show and my opinion was that Shin Lim has way more TALENT than the other contestants. America voted him the winner either because they like his act more or “maybe” appreciated the TALENT that he had over the other contestants.

[@CommaGains]

U deserved to win just bc you’re a spartan fan. Go green!!!!

[@skytopiea]

I only watch AGT because of Shin Lim. Shin for the win!!

[@ViperK88]

I had the same reaction as you throughout. I was so excited to see a new Shin act. And that ending totally showed what a Vegas stage could do for him

[@hendrasusanto5062]

in the after act interview, shin said that this routine is just 7 days old, 1st time performing it, and it's so amazing though, hoping he'll win. i 'm in other country, so i can't vote for him unfortunateny

[@springbloom5940]

Hendra Susanto Really, the floating cards, was the only 'new' bit and the only thing that wasnt a fundamental.

[@hendrasusanto5062]

@@springbloom5940 i believe he was refering to the act as a whole, and how he put them together

[@springbloom5940]

Hendra Susanto Yeah, I understood. Im saying most of the act probably could've been improvised, because it was a lot of common 'party' magic type stuff. Not knocking it, just saying it was a pretty safe act to perform without a lot of preparation.

[@hendrasusanto5062]

i don't think putting all the act together so they would fit nicely with the music and presentation is easy.. but yu have your own opinion and i'll respect that

[@webcrawler2748]

i really enjoy your take on these magic acts. Your honesty on not knowing how some are done is refreshing.

[@webcrawler2748]

And thanks for trying to put to rest all this bull crap demon stuff.

[@larrygorsky6104]

nice vid and thanks for your devotion to Shin Lim, he IS worth the attention & dedeserves it for all his hard work.

[@JoeySonal]

Man your intros are making me laugh so hard everytime😂😂😂. Shin does not dissapoint👏👏🔥

[@ChristopheSikita]

yep, lol ... same here haha

[@danloydborja8893]

Soo true .. Made my day hahaha #intro

[@declanp1]

I voted for him 10 times.

[@shockaglow]

Eduard, love your channel and your passion. Keep up the great reactions!

[@rosemars8]

Your magic reaction video is the best. It’s always great to watch the magic reaction from another real magician.

[@BenSpies19]

Great to see u back man 👍

[@CainCalifornia]

Haven't been on this channel in a while but damn you've grown and I like the new look.

[@garyredmond6873]

If Shin plays Beethoven’s “moonlight sonata” while performing 52 Shades of Red, I’m almost certain I’ll shit my pants.

[@snakeman7999]

Love the vids as always! Penn and teller has had several new episodes hoping to see some of those acts soon!

[@arkrazor354]

What I love about this is that Shin Lim went into this entire competition with a plan for the entire contest. I think he knew all along the progression of routines he would do. He gradually went bigger and revealed more of his story as the rounds went along. I will be very upset if Janis Joplin cover girl wins. Would be OK if anybody else won besides her. However, Shin the most deserving- particularly to headline an entire Vegas show.

[@sickof36]

Still a month later waiting for shin winning agt reaction vid. Was excited for it. Cmon man lol love your vids

[@OrangeCrush1981]

Good video. I love your enthusiasm for such a talented magician. Not talking down on him because you're jealous unlike other sour people. Magicians dont get the credit they deserve. The time you all put into your craft. All for the greater good going into the future. 2 thumbs up buddy.

[@watvid1]

This is the only guy that does reaction videos that actually reacts. Other reactions channels just stare at the screen the whole way through

[@LucisFerre1]

I like his home video where he's working this out with little pieces of paper floating and he's directing it with his hand, with lines of paper moving this way and that seemingly on their own.

[@SAMZIRRA]

I spent an hour watching what he did at the end over and over. I kept feelings no like, “What the fuck did I just see?” I’ve seen him perform twice live, and it is spellbinding.

[@saraha180]

It's been a while since I caught your channel and wow Eduard you're looking *_good_* these days. The suit, beard and hair are all working just right for you. Okay I'll stop drooling now and watch the video. ;-)

[@yeetthatfetus6934]

Yayyy he won America’s got talent and america’s got talent the champions!! Wow he is so amazing and deserves winning

[@KinnereyB]

Shin Lim best force trick I’ve ever by LEAPS and BOUNDS! I own Dream and 52 shades v3 but this and your ambitious card routine is just ludicrous. You do magicians magic. That’s the best way to put it. Mad props

[@nowar458]

Great reaction video. Awesome!

[@cofiddle]

I love how he still keeps it entertaining and impressive for magicians

[@Kla836]

I was sure I was going to hate this review, but you changed my mind. You're so honest, especially when you said that it's made your job harder. First video of yours that I'm watching but I'll definitely subscribe 😘

[@arnavkamath9642]

I've been following Shin Lim and his career for about 3 years now, and I've never been happier being a shin lim fan!

[@ddonlee]

Wow!! Congratulations Shin Lim!! A well deserved Winner!!

[@tongkatali7643]

Congrats. You make the magic community proud

[@aeyal1344]

6:58 "leave some room for the rest of us man" I don't know why but how Eduard said it makes me laugh to death. I've been rewatching that phrase 5x. I'm freaking dying! HAHAHAHAHA

[@salkdjfasldkfjsdlk]

Did you see the dual vanish at 3:34? I missed it the first 5 times I watched this act.

[@ricklai1264]

Bro I subbed to your channel coz you're real. Love the love you have for Shin.

[@michaellee888]

Magic supporting Magic. Love!!

[@merxellus1456]

Thats a really Nice way of Handling Those who Comment about "Theres too much Shinlim videos in this channel".. Love the attitude bro

[@friday_xo]

at 3:34 you can see after he drops the 4 cards out of 5 from his hand,the ones that are left in his hands has black frame around the cards.

[@electric_kool-aid]

That had to be one HUGE spool of invisible elastic thread he used, Damn.

[@AngelLestat2]

7:52 Very nice how you explain part of the act without revealing much. If you have to choose your favorite Shin lim act, which one it would be?

[@josema-boy7610]

Honest Intro!!! You had me going bro, word. By the way, you're looking very spiffy my good sir. Exceptional video I must say.

[@hitmanhatton]

What did I just witness? Thats mind blowing and couldn't possibly be any cleaner

[@Alalpog]

I am a man of science, always having an exact mathematical anser to a question. Logical, analytical and critical way of thinking and answering. Magic is Real. Thank you Shin Lim.

[@vishwakrishnan]

SHIN LIM HAS WON BOYS!!!! 🎉🎊🎉🎆🎉🎊🎉🎆🎉🎊🎉🎉🎊

[@casewhite5048]

I like how he made the cards appear from the piano hehe

[@preki14]

Very good review. Thanks

[@TrackpadProductions]

If you look carefully, you can see a black felt covering the back of some of the cards. No way you could catch it live, though.

[@timbrwolf2238]

He threw in the personal battles with CTS, then had an AMAZING act. Hes a genius and has played this show right. Love it.

[@coatofmanycolors9001]

I watched Shin Lim do this yesterday, this was card magic peeking, this was probably the best card magic I have ever seen.

can someone tell me the name of gimmick 4:12

[@ExilixE]

what is that tricks called where the card visually changes (from 6 to 9 of hearts)

[@keithwalker7245]

at the piano, he had a black screen you could see his hand go behind the screen

[@mcmlxxxviimcmxcvi8641]

4:10 How does that work.....?

[@monkeybone85]

I remember when Shin told you he would be on AGT when you two met. I think you was one of the first persons he told about it (and made it public on your yt channel)

[@gunningju6107]

great job: host! I like your explaination too!

[@Aerochalklate]

he has a mech mod in his throat thats how he got that smoke out

[@trishaurvan9439]

Did you see what he did on the final show...the trick...that was freaking amazing!! So happy Shin won!! The trick with Tyra and the guys from American Ninja Warrior...he freaked them the hell out

[@comedygeek]

You're on it so quick! Nice. #shintowin is right!

[@nurizawanasuraman2051]

4:13 what is that magic name? That's so cool

[@Ghostface4k]

Best sleight of hand magician in the world! The man is on another level...

[@Sh1znitz]

the cards were hiding where the piano was.. watch his finger pull it out in the beginning

Dont worry about that shit bro you react to whoever you want. Great video! Go shin!!

Shot bro, love your Shin Lim reactions

Wow- we did it guys we beat the system

[@ilikeRUNE]

hey eduard! do u still go to BJJ classes? im wondering because you havent made any more of those live performances that you do to your teacher and other students!! i think those were all awesome! please make more of those!!

[@farhannr28]

0:01 My favourite intro

[@sinnerX4283]

The intro had me rollin lmao great vid

[@corasims3606]

As you can see Shin put his other hand on his pocket l. In his pocket he has a remote to turn the fire on. In the beginning as you can see the background is black and dark. I can see he was pulling those cards from there.

[@Valkaneer]

Well, if he walked over to the line of floating cards and pulled one out of the air, then I would have been really impressed. I thought the end looked like CGI on a green screen. I don't know if they were real cards or just a green screen.

[@ponygirlv6]

How obsessed am I that I keep watching this over and over! Ha! Love your reaction and everything you say! If they handed that win to Courtney I was done with AGT! I always went WTH when he left the stage, but when he had a heart already sitting there before the act began..ok I went to WTF!! That win was deserved from his 1st audition!

[@Jmack7861]

Holy fuckkkkk those productions and vanishes

[@loristnorton3723]

I love how he says you're making my job harder. Cause it is true, to a common man he always expect a magician to know and be able to perform on a mystifying level.

[@ReedRock]

When I first saw David Blaine it seemed like the best magic ever. Then I saw Darren Brown. Now I’ve seen Lim. The art just gets better

[@numinumful]

it has something to do with that black carpet, he used it also when he performed to Claudia

[@marcosojer]

The last trick was a video played on a screen wasn't it? , or there were cards really floating in the air?

[@bzb_]

You said you have a less advanced version of Shin’s changing the 6 to 9, which video is that?

[@monkeybone85]

I‘m hyped!

[@icantaim4sht836]

Tbh I was impressed until the final part with the floating cards. It was flashy, but for me it confirmed without a doubt that the nine of hearts was forced and/or Tyra was in on it. I'm sure he has forced choices onto his volunteers before, but it was still mysterious, because his slight of hand techniques were so good, and he would usually let them check his cards and props. But here, clearly they've rehearsed that cards on strings dance many times in preparation for this nine of hearts outcome, and we never got a chance to look at the dice up close. The trick probably would have been better without the cards on strings bit. Sometimes less is more. The Jack of clubs trick he did before this with the three volunteers was really good.

[@xtlm]

I figured that part was controlled by a computer to produce whatever formation it needed.

[@41SMASH]

Can somebody give me a name to the trick where the 6 changes into the 9 visually

[@secretAZNman_]

not just good with cards.. but he's also a good showman

[@Dark_eVader]

Thanks.... I'm speechless!!

[@shamo84]

you can see he takes the cards from the piano from a miles away, also the last part (flying cards) was just a video on a huge screen. and look at the die on the left, doesn't it have 2 fours!?

[@vnimo7094]

This is no trickery, this is real fucking powers!

[@nateburk8952]

Not for nothing, but Shin showed the ideal formula to win AGT. Step #1, and perhaps the most challenging..,come up with an act that is on par or trumps your best act. So many acts give their best two acts in the first two performances as AGT pushes them to do. Shin resisted and did a new act for auditions, then used his proven acts for the middle, and dropped his ace in the hole new act for the win. Additionally, he dropped the pure non-talking performance, and built a story and identifiable persona. As deserving as Shin Lim was to win, it never would have happened without his plan of attack.

[@scottchy00]

Anyone know the soundtrack when he's changing the heart's ????

[@TwoFootGiant]

Sorry for the absence, sensei. Time to catch up

[@Airbag888]

I wasn't as impressed as his previous tricks. It felt like there was a push at the beginning and everything after was hinging on that. Anyhow he still deserves to win.

[@harry8wyke]

Airbag888 there was 100% a force on the 9, probably rigged dice, but hearts was a free choice. So somehow Shin will have been able to pull that off for any suit, which I have no idea

[@kuromiLayfe]

Graham Cooper heart choice was also forced as the girl was planted in the audience for this act (clear by how she picks the heart)

[@Airbag888]

@@kuromiLayfe the 'girl' is tiara banks She's the presenter for this. I suspect loaded dice gave the 9 and mentalism was used to force the heart. Then again I'm like Jon Snoooo
