Magician REACTS to Shin Lim in the FINALS of AGT The Champions 2019

[@JasonParkerMagic]

0) **UPDATE** I just now published my reaction to Shin Lim WINNING on AGT The Champions. ---> kzbin.info/www/bejne/apKpiaCkrZujqqc 1) Jon Dorenbos performed mentalism on this same episode. Here's my reaction video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXrZh2puZd9rqLM 2) NO I DIDN'T stop the video "too early and missed the last part"... you just didn't watch this video far enough! 😂Keep watching after my comments! 3) WOW... I am rewatching Shin's performance again after filming my initial reaction... and I see MORE awesomeness (i.e., cool magician moves) that I didn't even notice the first time around. HE IS A BEAST!!! So fast and flawless. Pretty amazing. 4) If you wanna see TRENDING Magic Industry news... check out my new format of video for this concept! Episode 1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maeUpYyrl9aaY5I

Jason Parker you should also watch the semi finals act of his last years’ AGT 2018 performance! It’s the same act but longer and more tricks. That one is better than what he did here in the champions.

That cards vanishing from the plastic bag at the end followed by the hand hitting the table looks really not up to his class honestly....other than that he is amazing and my favourite magician...

@@OscarGeronimo Seems like it

[@enviivne]

Your mention of his use of music: he is actually an accomplished professional musician before he became a magician, therefore his love and great use of music. And it is even more impressive because he just severed his thumb tendons recently and recovered within 6 months even though the doctor said it would take at least 2 years. Everyone talks about how talented he is but i think people underestimate how dedicated and hardworking he is, imagine severing your tendons because you practice so much.

[@lilRadRidinHood]

Correct me if I'm wrong; I thought he said he'd CUT his own thumb tendons during a practice of a much more dangerous trick. I don't believe over-working in general can sever...stretch, sprain, even tear (?) but sever?

[@whitetailjedi]

You are correct Lori, Shin completely severed both of his major contraction thumb tendons while attempting an illusion. I don't think people realize just how bad of a situation that is. 9 out of 10 will never regain function even close to what he has. And while his performances are supremely impressive the passion and will to overcome such a critical injury and in only 6 months is nothing short of a miracle!

[@gortube]

I love the way you humbly use your expertise to highlight that of another. And your honest marvelling at parts of the performance.

[@RobKwalheim]

Obviously Shin Lim is a unique performer that deserves all the accolades received so far. I very much appreciated your critique of this particular performance and I especially liked your facial expressions that showed your true enjoyment of it. That's what magic is after all - a delight to be amazed and a sense of wonder. Thank you for your honesty and for posting this.

[@SiriusV23]

When you mention duplicate, I went to find a higher quality to see the signature better, screen shot the card and enlarge if the signature are different in size position, they are the exact same card through out the show, even the ones in the coffee mug. Either its real magic or AGT is helping him fool the audience.

[@JasonParkerMagic]

Ah cool that you compared them. If the signatures are exactly the same, I still suspect duplicates, but then I think it must be some fancy photo-copying technology for creating duplicates... assuming the judges are not in on it.

[@villealakorkko21]

they sign the cards on the edge of the table. There is a deadspot for camera. Maybe they change printed duplicates there?

[@willtraveller1388]

they were folded in his mouth

[@aisk8325]

From the video we can tell that he actually did something to the card that was pulled out, when he said "can you open the marker". I guess he just put two or more layers of transparent membrane onto the card. So the signiture was on the layers, and also he could get two or more same signitures on the different layers. The rest was to simply put the layers, which had signitures on them, onto some other cards. I don't really know how to demonstrate this in English though...

[@fitgrowcoupletv5733]

Hey Jason Parker, at 4:53 did you notice how he held the plastic using thumb and index? At 4:55 you notice that he was holding the plastic using the middle finger and the thumb. So by switching fingers, definitely there is a duplicate behind the card.

[@kaiapatty1141]

Most everyone here acts as though the fact that Shin isn’t using real “Magic” that this is fake or that he is a scam artist. Magic isn’t real. I’m not even a fan of magic but I am impressed by this guy. This is the first and only performance that I’ve seen. I slowed the video down and figured out a few of the tricks but it makes it no less impressive. His sleight of hand is amazing.

[@AB21]

if you watch at 3:25 he def does something with the card he hands to Terry. Looks like possible roughing and the signature goes on both cards.

[@stevepadilla9729]

This is Magic for all of us that don't know how he does it. To those who know the tricks, know he can full us all.

[@tweewin]

"Where does he get all the smoke from?!" 😂😂😂 Shin Lim's sleights of hand is near perfection...it is perfectlyrics executed IMO. Even many magicians can't catch it. He is so fast and have practiced so well, his tricks are flawless. 👌 People who say the judges and Terry are part of the script and played along, I don't think that's true. Why would they help the participant cheat? It's a competition that they have to work individually to win. If judges are part of the tricks, why even make it a competition and give $ awards? Doesn't make sense for ppl to think that.

[@sleepingod3005]

Because it is not a pure competition. Most of them are gimmicked whatsoever. Not to cheat one another, but to give us the best viewing experience to get the most ratings possible. People can still vote. Maybe they use real votes or maybe also manipulated, at this point we can't tell for sure either. As for the prize money, let's just say it's like they pay the contestant for being their "actors and actresses".

How is that an issue? We all have seen his act just as many times you. Either you know how he does what he does, or you think you do. Best to just applaud.

[@mikehutv9098]

@Jason Parker when he grabs howie's card around @1:48 he picks up the card and flicks the top card on to the table, storing the original on the bottom of the deck. This is amazing! Not sure if you caught that or someone else did, watch at .25 speed.

[@BraceDeville]

Shin has been blowing me away since I saw him on Penn & Teller Fool us...(twice!) I agree that his act is as much performance art as it is slight of hand magic. Love watching his stuff.

[@boazbar-david182]

Great video. The only explanation to this trick is having duplicate cards. Since Shin has already preformed this trick on liable shows, I'm certain Howey and Terry aren't in on it. That means Shin used some kind of gimmick to get the duplicates. In the act, the way Shin asks them to sign the cards looks very suspicious- after they pick a card he asks for the card back for no reason and does something to the card, he points exactly to where he wants them to sign, and the cameras show nothing. Something fishy happened there, but I'm not sure what! Pretty sure it has to do with the ink of the shaprie, but again, I have no idea. What do you think?

[@JasonParkerMagic]

Yes! You know I noticed that suspicious behavior as well. Shin even does a top change if you look closely when he is working with Terry. But yeah... EXACTLY what you said... I'm not 100% sure why he does this. It could be he is using a deck with like 7 of the same card in a row to make for an easier classic force... and then he needs to switch it for a different card that is a special gimmick used for making duplicates. Yeah he has them sign on a specific area... and has them doing it right at the edge of the table. I know there are several duplicate signature card tricks for sale out there at magic websites.... i've never bought one so I don't know what technology is currently being used. But.... anyway its at least clear to me that he is indeed using duplicates. I don't like the one behind Howie's chair because it kinda screams that he had that particular duplicate card created before the trick even began.... :-|

[@BenSleightMagician]

It's legit They didn't sign anything before The dream act is just genius!

[@JasonParkerMagic]

Ben Sleight Magician what about the card in Howie‘s chair and also in his cup on the judges table? These 2 pieces are different from the original dream act. Maybe duplicates were created ahead of time for these two alterations to the original act?

Yes you are right, he was using duplicates but the judges weren't in on it... after the judges pick their cards, Shin Lim asks them to hand over the chosen card (and also open the sharpie, as a distraction) and while the judges open the sharpie he slips multiple pass-through "onion skins" beneath the chosen card (the judges sign only once but make multiple signatures >>> duplicate cards)

I knew their must be some reason he kept putting the card on top of his deck before giving it to them to sign. I think you are on to something

So get that he must somehow duplicate the signature during the performance, but how does he get the cards into the cup?

its using the spring of the card on the mat its alot of fun to do!

[@JamieVegas]

THE KEY: The marker is the standard gimmicked dry erase ink Sharpie on the market. The secret is not that he cloned the signatures. The secret is that he erased the signature made by the judge. The deck is one way force deck in its middle. He has to swap the card after the judge picks it with a card previously signed on the opposite end. After the judge signs that card, under cover of the otherwise useless ridge on the desk to hide the real signature from the cameras, he rubs the real signature away and shows the prepared camera ready signature that exists on his duplicate cards and in the judge's cup, as preloaded by production. You can very easily tell that Howie signs the opposite side of the card to what we are shown. How he gets a signature in advance is either "pre show" (likely "rehearsals") or the production team got them for him (they absolutely partake in the setup by doing things like edits and knowing where the camera can't go) via some other means.

[@cp368productions2]

Little late commenting but i noticed especially on Terry's card the signature is in fact different every time, Shin had at least 3 duplicates of each card. That is why he told them where to sign on the card. And when he does Howie's card you see him put one on top but then bottom deals the card to Howie to sign.

[@mahalayananda]

The thing is that he did this switching of the cards on Penn and Teller too with random audience participants and they dont accept pre-performance work. Of course there are moments when one can catch small things, but his artistry is amazing. I see him like a magicians magician. Something that all magicians can enjoy watching and admiring. A kind if unique style of presentation due to his background in performance music

[@m.sierra5258]

I am fairly certain they are duplicates, because there really isn't another explanation. The question is, where did he create the duplicates? Is it a copy he created on the fly? Two cards behind each other that print through when they signed? Although I think in Penn and Teller people stepped through the performance frame by frame and the signatures didn't match... allegedly.

[@guimoraes-music5708]

I guess Shim uses duplicates, but I don't think he got them ahead of time. I believe he somehow transfers the ink from the signed cards to their relative duplicates

To be honest I had never heard of Shin Lim until I watched AGT champions and I just got to say he is incredible! His whole performance with the music, the hand movements, the hair and the artistry of the tricks...just top notch! I couldn’t help but ho back and watch some of his earlier stuff and honestly have to say I’ve never seen anyone like him...he is a master! On your critique I would have to say that saying he’s using duplicates would mean that he is having the show help him with his routine and I don’t think that they would want to damage the credibility of their reputation and as a top talent show look like they are being dishonest with the audience. I think it comes off on your part a bit lazy in trying to explain the trick to us and I thought that I was going to get a more in-depth explanation from you being that you’re a magician. Also saying you think you know what he did here or there without telling us...your viewers makes me feel like this video was like click bait than anything of actual substance. And I would lose the earbud if I were you...what...are you expecting a call while you’re filming your reaction??? C’mon man! 😂

[@JasonParkerMagic]

He is using duplicates. Whether or not the judges/show were working with him. If you don't believe me, that's fine... we are entitled to our own opinions. Also I am trying to walk a fine line on exposure. I want to talk about the act and give my thoughts, but I don't necessarily want to explain everything he did. (Penn & Teller on Fool Us often will just say he fooled us or he did not...and they don't stop and explain the method to the entire audience... which would be a bit of a shame.) Also nothing in my title indicates I'm going to reveal how everything worked. It is a magician reacting to another magician's performance. That's it! :) The earbud I was using to listen the performance video clip so it wouldn't be recorded into the audience for this video. At some points I forgot to remove it because I was focused on sharing my thoughts on the performance.

[@maddiewang3347]

I think the cards in the cup and on the chair might be duplicates, but the others are not. Because in his original dream act that he performed for fism, the spectators were chose randomly and the signatures were less specific than Howie and Terry’s.

Jason you are a magician bro .you gotta know how it is done. Seriously I mean is this a new tech in magic that you can dubble sign cards or real magic? Plz tell me my mind is blowing

[@bogski]

3:58 I suspect it is a duplicate. He is holding 2 cards. The duplicate and a blank card. He insert the duplicate at his jacket. I am assuming there are 3 copies.

[@thabisokhanyile5562]

Lovely reaction bro

[@JasonParkerMagic]

Thabiso Khanyile thanks :)

[@dantheman7145]

I believe David Copperfield is basically only performing in Vegas now.

[@minhio06]

I think Shin Lim is the only magician who can fool other magicians

[@Shawnjames777]

This is actually an old Shim Lim trick. He actually sells it so anybody who is willing to work really hard can learn how to do it.

[@Hacx_]

Shin Lim back to back WINNER Champion of Champions !

[@JasonParkerMagic]

Edward Xiong awwww yeah! It’s awesome! I just made a reaction vid for that too... an hour ago!

[@mariettamarcial550]

Shin is the best magician I've ever seen..I enjoyed watching him..he is incredible made the cards vanished...how did he do it...cards went in to Howie...

[@gregorychery3401]

there is someone under the table for sure, to place cards under jury's chair at the start, to duplicate cards and for the smoke coming from under the table. at 5:55 he drop the plastic bag on the floor and the cards, the only way to have it in the cup at of the jury at end, is someone just pickd and placed it on the table. if you check at 6:18 there is no longer plastic bag on floor. for the rest tones of videos about all his tricks.

[@Arithmophobia]

nope

[@KinnereyB]

As a fellow magician and a fan of shin’s since Fool us, I broke down and bought dream and 52 shades of red. I HIGHLY recommend it! They’re available at shinlimmagic.com. Oh. He also sells kadabra. The distortion card in his 9 of hearts performance. Just saying. It’s worth the $ to see how his mind works. And you’ll fool yourself at first it’s so good! And these acts were kickers to those acts! He’s the best! 👏🏻

[@JasonParkerMagic]

Yeah I would be curious to watch Shin's full explanation and reasoning for all the moves he chose to do and the sequencing. Would be very interesting. But I'm trying to slow down my magic purchases for now as I need to catch up on learning effects I bought in previous years first lol... probably a common magician problem. Yeah I saw he was selling Kadabra... it looks beautiful! Must be some highly elaborate construction to have all those pips moving around

[@KinnereyB]

Jason Parker I was the same dude. I own books upon books - I trust you have Erdnase and expert card technique. I hadn’t bought effects in a WHILE so I bought Shin’s effects. If you want a cheap buy before he won FISM, get Shinanigens. It’s a very different Shin Lim bc it’s prior to him even going into his first FISM (I believe he won 6th in the world and 1st in North America). And that was without Dream or 52 Shades. So while he’s reserved, he teaches well and you learn like 26 effects. And it’s like $20. That’s the first Shin Lim thing I ever owned. It was when he was on theory11. Anyways. I enjoyed your reactions. Plus your card handling is on point dude. Well done 👍🏻

[@JasonParkerMagic]

@@KinnereyB Hey thanks very much! I feel privileged to have someone knowledgeable about magic like yourself commenting here! Have a great week :)

[@dacucaracho]

Is it possible that he is creating a "carbon copy" of their signatures? He is very precise with his instructions about where to sign the card, plus both times he takes the selected card back before returning it again for the signature. You can see that he is adding something to the card while he is having them open the marker. This is more evident when he is interacting with Terry.

[@Daveboivin]

I really enjoy watching shim Lin perform. I think he’s awesome. He puts on a very fun entertaining performance

[@JasonParkerMagic]

David Boivin Yes for sure! Did you ever see David Blaine’s real or magic special? One of my favorites ...

[@harleykeiner4095]

ah the birth of the intro :)

[@zhengdu8582]

I wish he did his vanishing marker trick.

[@Hey_Jamie]

Good word choice for “how do these cards keep coming to his mouth??” because you very easily could have used ‘in’ ahaha

[@MrTheedarkhorse]

This is the exact act he performed for penn and tellers Fool Us You dont have a reaction for that video. I was actually looking for that on your channel :]

[@Rob__Hall]

Hi Jason keep up the good work

[@tt6368]

There were no duplicate cards. He performed this routine a few years back at pen and teller with randomly selected audience

[@JasonParkerMagic]

tt6368 but it doesn’t mean he can’t have some way to create duplicate cards, right?

[@matthewmarquis8732]

So, about the duplicate card issue, Shin did something very similar to this routine his first time on Fool Us and, to my understanding, Penn & Teller has a strict protocol in place that keeps performers and audience from cross pollinating, so I don't think that multiple cards were in play.

[@mc3429]

My guess is the duplicate is being made with special pen with possibly special ink. while the person is signing it. He first has them pick a card. takes it from them kinda flips it around while he is learning what card it is. Then very smoothly, stacks a 2nd or 3rd under the original before he gives it back to them to sign. remember this is only a guess because the dude is a master!

[@bbechra1658]

Bro. Lets appreciate the act. This guy is awesome

[@JasonParkerMagic]

B BECHRA exactly!
