Magician REACTS to SHIN LIM on AGT

[@shinlimmagic]

Thanks for the reaction video!! ♥️

[@Simon_Lado]

Yo! It's mah boi Shiiiiin!

[@jasonsmith4114]

This act is like a tribute to card magic. So many classics, so many techniques, yet an original, fresh and smooth routine. By the way the vanish of the block at the end got me completely, this is too good.

[@tedlee325]

SHIN U GONNA DO WELL DUDE

[@tomasraposo5173]

Shin you are definitely making it to the finals, if not win agt! keep up the great work bro

[@EduardTodor]

Thanks for stopping by! Good luck on your ventures bro

[@owenator]

Eduard, your honesty, sincere reaction without jealousy is absolutely awesome and the reason why I subscribed. I hope you too will find tremendous success and remain humble. Thank you for this video!

[@sotnoscopes]

Agree on the honesty but he should go into explaining more, rather than just saying he understands and moving on

[@deafeningsilence7006]

I've never even met shin lim personally but I feel so proud watching him on agt and showing the world how good he is.

[@BilalKhan-tt3su]

Deafening Silence IK me too.

[@Richard-Freeman]

Is your icon meant to make it look like there's a hair is on the screen?

[@jjwhite6860]

Deafening Silence the eye lash fooled me

[@yuhansungscoffee]

I kept trying to wipe away the strand of hair

[@rosemars8]

Yes your hair icon fooled me nicely. In that sense you are a magician too.

[@sociald4515]

Did you notice that AGT didn't camera cut to the judges reaction at all during his act? First time I've ever seen that.

[@anouaressanoussi]

Matt Cline omg you're right. Shin was too good to skip.

[@PrinceInShadow]

They should just put small video insert of judges and audience reaction, at the bottom. Japanese variety shows do it all the time.

[@syaifulhamdi4005]

@@anouaressanoussi nah man bcz its all edited

[@ujangpalestina7688]

the judges reactions are being cut out

[@JohnSmith-mk8hz]

Shin's got balls. He puts together several fairly difficult slight of hand tricks, one right after another, any one of them could go wrong and screw up his performance. But he fearlessly jumps in head first and somehow manages to pull them all off in the end. Great performer.

[@normaldude2892]

John Smith ikrrr

[@auniquehandle]

yeah i can see something here and there, but he ultimately nailed every act of this performance

[@normaldude2892]

True

[@virtuosite]

Without doing tricks, have you seen how perfectly he holds and controls all of the cards at the same time? I don't think he'd make a mistake.

[@JetPak808]

@@virtuosite And this was after his injury, right? He says he still doesn't have full sensation back in his hand.

[@Riyago]

Your reaction through out that preformance was a exact mirror to mine

[@tinkytinkz]

And you still felt that watching someone validate you was interesting.

[@ryanpickart2111]

Hope I misunderstood this. It comes off as petty and unwarranted.

[@coolmagicforum6018]

First video i watched this morning and I literally stood up and applauded!

[@coolmagicforum6018]

Hey @Anthony Martini WTF did that come from? It's not what your mom said at breakfast.

[@coolmagicforum6018]

hahaha! Thanks Kye, good to hear from ya bro! i gotta film a couple more things for a new video!

[@KenKopelson]

@Anthony Martini You do realise this is 2018 right? Calling someone a faggot as a means of insult is not only wrong, it's downright scummy. Look, if you're gay it's nothing to be ashamed about. You don't need to insult other people just because you have gender-identity issues yourself.

[@MArabier]

Hahahahha

[@liamtideswell4970]

Shin is a true creative genius, it was a truly wonderful and astonishing performance, his timings, the music, his movements were all just beautiful.👌 He really has set the bar high in close-up with this absolute work of Art. 😍 I hope he goes all the way. ☺ Thank's Eduard for reacting to this ☺

[@flemmingrasmussen5347]

he should go longer than any who sing or dance as he do new stuff singers and dancers just sing and dance but usually that kind win

[@BilalKhan-tt3su]

I don't why I felt proud after watching Shin.

[@twoscoops2]

me too, haha

[@The_Gamer.139]

There are people who do magic and then there are people who were born to do magic. Shin Lim was born to do this.

[@StormTheImmortal]

I was never big into magic. I was always like yeah thats cool but it's such a gimmick. Then i watched shin on fool us. I have never been in awe while watching a magical act. But i sat there as a 31 year old man being transported back to a child like belief. Thank You for sharing the gift you've been given shin and thanks eduard for your reactions and the thirst to further your own craft.

[@tinaaikaa77]

SHIN LIM, AGT, WOW, Americas gonna flip out! Love him, loved this, love you, just full of love today and hyped, LOL!

[@BudgetGamblerz]

Shin Lim is absolutely AMAZING!! So smooth and flawless.....When a fellow magician has the same reaction as us as fans, you know he's doing something right. Great Video, thanks for sharing!!

[@stuey0013]

There is no one else like Shin Lim. Absolutely love what he does ^^

[@livehappy4945]

Yif magic

[@Ashes2Ashes]

2 years later... and this damn video still never gets old. :) Love the joy, the bewilderment and pure enjoyment that I get from you, just as I feel as someone who enjoys watching magic but doesn't do it. Absolutely love Shin's ability and your reactions to it.

[@AnimaticallyInsane]

I like the honesty in the reaction. You were surprised the first time you watch it, but after a few times you understood the concepts and methods used for the routine, but still gave him credit for how good and clean the routine was. It's a million times better than the other videos that just try to explain/reveal the trick. Or god forbid, try to replicate it poorly....

[@lolikuun]

every time when i felt like i knew how he is doing it, he just kept going and does something that keeps on blowing my mind. he is truly a great magician.

[@hasantanim2526]

most of them even dont know who shin lim is... its soo heart broken 🤕🤕 AGT totaly got crazy ..thats the most interesting part ..wow..thank u Eduard Todor for reacting on this ❤😍😍

[@Smoshi]

I saw him and was like omg that's shin lim! This gun be good

[@joshbrucks]

i first came across shin lim in a video claiming he is evidence of real demonic magic. lol.

[@sirdaveo]

He's got 49 MILLION views on his first P&T visit. An awful lot of people know who he is. AGT pretends people come out of nowhere to do the show, but most of them have already performed somewhere.

[@gurpremsingh]

Shin's specialty is that as soon as you might be getting close to figuring it out, he hits you with another banger. He's an absolute BEAST!🔥

[@puffin-onehandedgamer1164]

I'm shocked he didn't get the golden buzzer for that preformance, it was amazing.

[@ufopilotFPV]

Dude im kinda addicted to your videos haha cant believe you post everyday and every episode is quality.. you gotta be one of the most dedicated you-tubers i have found. Anyways keep em coming and keep up the magic, im still new to this game but 25 years on guitar has given me good hands for sleights.. and you are inspiring me to practise. Stay lit bro.

[@bigstan4053]

i only figured out how the beginning is done, but after that MAAN SO SICK PERFORMANCE, nice video keep uploading !

[@josema-boy7610]

Bro! I was just surprised that he didn't get the golden buzzer. Your reaction, was priceless!!!!!!!! Good see your videos again bro. Keep up the excellent work 👍

[@dolnick7]

I love close up magic -- heck, I love all magic -- but this performance was one of the absolute best. Lim's moves and pacing were mesmerizing and the reaction from the judges after his act said it all. Great reaction video.

[@SunsetSara]

Love your analysis and all your insights. It’s so cool to watch your react to Shin given you know him and understand a lot of his methods and gimmicks he employs. Plus you’re a great magician yourself so seeing you appreciate the art of magic is so cool. And you put it so well, he got everyone on this act, no way to figure it out on first or even third watch. He repeatedly fooled us and he has figured out that hyper-visual and to the best of music is how to grip the audience and blow people away

[@ponygirlv6]

The minute I saw his audition, I just knew he was going to take AGT. He was the most original act I have have seen in all the years I have been watching! Anyone that will leave the stage with an audience mind boggled - Winner!

[@acidosis1985]

At least you are honest. Very good review and reaction bro. Looking forward to more of your daily videos now

[@ZippyandOllie]

I had the exact same reaction as you did, even though I watched it many times. I saw a few things but nope... His performance is absolutely brilliant!

[@tk20channel]

Love Shin Lim since I saw him on P&T. Eduard, love your vids and so glad you get to know Shin Lim. You're both awesome magicians.

[@bus6292]

This guy has to be a pickpocket's nightmare. You know he'll detect the theft, then get his wallet back along with their belt, keys and underwear before they take a step

[@EnkinduGamer]

I have been away from magic for a bit, so I haven't been around much. Looks like you'll be killing it for a long time to come. Much love and respect. Check this out.This is the first time I watched Shin's performance. I am thankful I got to watch it with you. It was simply beautiful. I know this is your job so you're going to study this like crazy, but this will be the only time (maybe once more 6 months from now), because I don't want to spoil the secrets. I was simply blown away. I really hope Shin brings it. This was an incredible incredible performance. If we thought this fame from Fool Us was anything, he's going to take the world by storm now. Let's go Shin!

[@dannystok3210]

Eduardo, thank you for your honest reaction without being jealous or whatever. Great video!

[@funkiefresh]

This is one of the best routines i've ever seen and all these new tricks! I can only smile and daaaamn... this is good.

[@bendodd.1176]

Hell yea, keep the vids coming. cant get enough of your channel. even if its not reactions its realy cool seeing extended performances

[@EduardTodor]

Thanks bro

[@TheGCDesigns]

I watched both his acts multiple times on Penn and Teller. In my opinion he has some of the most beautiful performances. An outstanding talent that is fun to watch over and over

[@ZippyandOllie]

Dude I clearly remembered the video when Shin Lim mentioned he was gonna go on AGT!

[@alekhaalrem1408]

One thing about shin's magic is... beautiful. You might can tell how he does it but still had no idea how to do it so beautifully, one thing after another effects that always left you speechless and doesn't even have time to think about what you just see. It's fast, beautiful, sweet and just perfect. Not to mention all that charisma, Not because the tricks but the beautiful delicate performance as the way he is, he's the best magician for me right now.

[@sfoba]

i get giddy with excitement when shin lim puts out a new routine

[@sickof36]

This man should have way more subscribers come on y’all - he’s got the best reaction videos- congrats Shin Lim we beat the system

[@celtlen]

Every time I watch Shin I am moved to tears. I have no idea why. His magic is just beautiful.

[@jjnelsonnc]

Eduard, great reaction and your right showing an effect once is a trick, twice is a lesson.

[@alexjay7183]

The deck changed from a blue bicycle deck to a red deck in a magical way but then it was blue again out of nowhere. Idk if it was bad editing or camera work but changing it back to blue was a magical moment that was lost.

[@alxbna]

Alex Jay I noticed this too, it might be bad camera timing tho

[@WarlordRising]

Dude pulled off so many tricks in a short window of time with extreme speed and accuracy. It constantly keeps you off guard.

[@sujanrai4773]

AGT will be like "oh we already have a magician win this show this time let's go with singer".

[@akaSlasher]

They've had three ventrilowuists win the show.

[@notahotshot]

akaSlasher Ha ha ha, ventrilowuist. I don't even care if that was on purpose or a typo. You win.

[@akaSlasher]

Grrrrrr ... sigh

[@jimmyardie3382]

The title should be named , How Shin Lim blow everyone mind without infinity gauntlet .

[@julieschultz6363]

7:12 And he's SO smooth and seamless from visual to visual.

[@2bros1wave48]

Shin lim was born into magic he is a Master of Magic he created his own magic techn called the 52 shades 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Love this reaction keep it up ‼️‼️

[@lordofentropy]

He is just so damn good. You know what he has to do, and when it's happening, but it's just so damn smooth that it still gets missed. Even when catching something from time to time (some of the table switch/drops from the first Penn and Teller video) I can't help but still be amazed.

[@HeyJD123]

That ending where he rips the block apart is insane. Perfect ending.

[@sooeyt2349]

Great reaction vlog to Shin's performance. I totally agree on what you said about going over and over a magicians act to try to figure it out. Why do people do this? Why don't they just accept that they were fooled and appreciate the performance. Keep up the good work Eduard

[@hosseinreza8893]

i watched it like thousands times !! one of the most interesting magic show I've ever seen!

[@thunderscroo252]

His so gonna win agt!!

[@yug6389]

Thunderscroo dont forget riana

[@iisnopel3769]

Nah he won’t some fucking child or a singer will win

[@viralclips_for_you]

some sob story singer is going to win....sadly

[@johnbethell1952]

No he did not win it was the guy with no voice that won BGT

[@IDiggPattyMayonnaise]

The show isnt about "talent." Last year the little girl singer won even though there was a singer who lost her hearing and learned to sing from memory and listening through her feet lost. Which would you say takes more talent, writing a catchy pop song or literally performing like no one else on the earth?

[@markpointer2967]

I heard a good line regarding what you said about not doing magic tricks over and over for someone - “Once, is a trick. Twice, is a lesson....” :)

[@kinciscorner]

He's so gonna get the "he made a pact with the demon overlord" thing going on him in some channels.

[@darkprose]

Great reaction and commentary. Shin Lim seems like one of those magicians that inspires magicians to be better magicians.

[@AitchC]

I thought being a magician would be cool watching it knowing the tricks. But you were as clueless as I was 😂

[@rpylamp8960]

Simple if you watch carefully, he switched the clear cards with a solid block glass deck under the desk. The solid block glass is solid only on the front back and sides but not solid on the under side and upper side hence you can slide in a card inside

[@HeyJD123]

What's interesting is how he had the mic on for only a few of the lines he said. Voice lines like "Can you write your name" was when the mic was on and "Only put your name on the top of the card" was when the mic was off. Really nice idea there.

[@EduardTodor]

Huh didn't notice that.

[@HarmsWayChad]

I was able to see where things where changed and where the slight of hand happened but still nothing short of amazing!

[@bones75]

When you say you know what ×10 ... it is over man, great reaction!!!

[@camhaywood9948]

mate his slight of hand is actually insane

[@wishyouwerehere82]

I've never seen magic as a big thing. Yes, the presentation always amazing then I am not addicted with their skills. Since I watch Shin Lim in AGT, I notice that I really like his attitude as a magician. He's so humble and the way he present the magic so calm and not overacting. And that's made his magic more valuable. Now , I am one of his fans and I wish he always happy. And for you, thanks for your reaction. I can't smell jealousy there. I subscribed your channel. Daaaaa

[@abcrx32j]

i don't even bother trying to figure out Shin Lim's routines anymore

[@WSG-fv9dq]

Wow shin is so awesome, I'm subscribe to your channel, thanks to you I got to see shin in action, appreciate it keep up your videos there awesome bro

[@rafaelallenblock]

"You know what,...you know what....you know what...." LOVE IT! Thanks man!

[@Spencerlayne]

He really is a master f his art man. It’s the first time I’ve watched magic and thought that was beautiful and elegant man

[@fuku102]

"you know what" yes, I know, he memorized me as well.

[@Danceofmasks]

The video age is exactly the reason why I deliberately don't want to know how magic is done.

[@johnstew4735]

Dont know you and didn't know Shin Lim before this act but I loved your honesty and what you said about the fact that if you get fooled the first time that's it, job is done. Nowadays everything can be rewind and rewind and slow-mo and slow-mo but if you have to do that, it means the artist nailed it.

[@herotheplottmix6690]

Craziest shit I've ever seen!!! My jaw dropped! Hands on my face"home alone" style. Props to Shin Lim.

[@fastspeeddrifter3]

i watched this a billion times and still get fooled over and over

[@LieutenantAnshuBhardawaj]

first time i liked someone's magic with card . great work shin

[@ArisAlfonsius1]

FUCKING CRACY TRICKS!!!! And so melancholic back sound

[@kewltony]

Everyone 4 seconds into a Shin Lim trick: wait

[@24aquablue]

"you know what. that's ridiculous. You know what. That's ridiculous." 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@lonehawk2k455]

This really hits the point from Penn on Fool Us about how he caught a couple of Shim's moves and about how if you catch one thing that feels phony the whole thing falls apart but said Shim's performance was perfect despite the fact he caught a couple moves anyways.

[@marker52]

Welp at least we know who the winner is this season

[@ilikeRUNE]

@ 5:33 im pretty sure eduard wanted to say "okay you know what.... fuck you shin lim" LMAO

[@sagitswag1785]

I said this before and I will say it again. If he does not get first place, I am throwing myself off a cliff.

[@Rom0.5]

Adam Prystupiuk that was such an unexpected joke

[@L33TTechReviewer]

Probably best to choose the cliff now then haha unfortunately AGT very likely won't have a magician win usually its the singers or huge performances/dance groups unfortunately

[@sagitswag1785]

L33TTechReviewer Yeah, my thoughts exactly. A guy can dream though lol

[@sagitswag1785]

Adam Prystupiuk Agreed.

[@akaSlasher]

Well, magician Mat Franco did win season 9 (2014). His first trick was an excellent variation of Sam the Bellhop. His remaining illusions were bigger and his style more effusive. Shin Lim's magic style, from what I've seen, is very artistic, graceful, and quiet. He may have to step out of that box to appeal to the sort of people who watch and vote for AGT acts. I'm a little worried about the judges, too. Why he did not get a Golden Buzzer eludes me. Has there been a rule change? Had the judges all used theirs? Or are the judges just stupid or insane?

[@DewaPratamaPutra]

i've been waiting your reaction bro :D

[@NeverDieAloneMusic]

If only he learned that routine when he was on Penn & Teller. They probably know a lot of what he's doing, but just to see their reactions and hear what they have to say would be very interesting.

[@jason420jv1]

I usually catch most of the same things you do when you're watching different videos but I didn't catch one goddamn thing he did, im totally fooled. PS god damn that was beautiful/epic. PPS luv your vids, keep up the great work man & I wish you all the success in the world.

[@davidholaday2817]

Interesting to see another magician reacting to Shin Lim.

[@JoeySonal]

Daaaam👌👌 I legit watched the performance as soon as AGT uploaded it from Shin's Instagram story. What an absolute legend🔥 P.S those reactions at the beginning oof🔥🔥🔥👌

[@TheSuaraSuasana]

he fool a magician,, that's good,,

[@EduardTodor]

World card champion of magic. Hell yeah he's good

[@jiyoo6109]

well, he fooled two legends (pen&teller) twice...

[@extrial7147]

Yeah, he fool penn and teller twice, he is world champion on magic so. Its a given.

[@OLelyO]

The beauty of magic, so fascinating to watch

[@ketchuploverful]

He gave a hearty performance tonight

[@jbillo6564]

Good stuff man, and nice trick at the beginning. I've thought of my own way to do that :)

[@davidsirmons]

That dude's a total badass! He's my fave card magician of all time!

[@GuilhermeBoaviagem]

Dude, I got fooled from the very beginning. For example: how the hell did he force that queen? Did he have like 10 duplicates grouped at the center of the deck? Such a great act, you can see that A LOT of work was put on it.

[@xnonsuchx]

Even on the first view, it looked to me like the 'block' toward the end was inserting a card into an enclosed container. It was probably one of the worst considerations of a trick.

[@HeadMinerve]

And Shim said he wouldn't show off his best for that first performance. Does it mean it's somewhat a piece of cake for him ?

[@eenix]

Head Minerve his Penn & Teller first performance was definitely better. Here he was more on entertaining because he did not have two sets of eyes scrutinising his every moment.

[@HeadMinerve]

I agree with you. Longing for his next performance there !

[@kitanimboy]

Yep, as good as that was, believe it or not he is holding back…. As a card magician myself, I consider him to be about the best there is out there at the moment, as skilled as any of the Spanish sleight of hand masters, but with the added beauty of his presentation… He's special…. bring on the next heat!!

[@antoniodiavolo]

I read someone’s theory that the smoke was a chemical that made the clear cards fuse together. Its always funny when people think magicians use all this advanced chemistry and stuff.

[@pctelia]

[@DneBays]

He just slips the plastic case through the box at the end. The box itself looks like it has a deck inside when it doesn't, probably influenced by Gone Deck.
