Magician reacts to Shin Lim on America's Got Talent The Champions 2019. This video shows the reaction of someone familiar with card magic so you can see how someone in this field feels about it! Shin Lim returns to AGT this year to compete again, even though he was already the Winner of AGT 2018 Season 13. Shin Lim is an amazing card magician and his sleight of hand is second to none.

[@LV2UXO77]

There's so much mystery about Shin's performances. There's one thing that I still can't get out of my mind! How in the world did Shin change the 6 of hearts into a 9 of hearts ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmatXqGer5minZI) on "AGT Finals 2018?" I mean how in the world can Shin make that happen on camera? We all saw the 6 hearts change into 9 heart. I played this in slow-mo so many times. This blows me away! ❤️

[@JasonParkerMagic]

@@LV2UXO77 Yeah he is a great performer! That change you are talking about (while really really cool looking) is not one of my favorite parts, personally. This part is a special prop that literally has moving parts... So it's definitely not something that could be examined, as a spectator would want to do in real life "close up" situations. But... I completely understand him using it on stage and especially for TV. You gotta use everything you have to your advantage to compete against others. And it does look AMAZING...

I like how you get amaze at times when you see something so awesome from a magician is there any thing new in magic tricks you seems to be very knowledgeable of how tricks are proform.

[@seanjones1346]

He ticks me off because I know it isn’t actual real magic, but my brain screams it’s impossible. Honestly, he is a great talent and I really enjoy watching him perform.

[@Nerketur]

Shin Lim is one of my favorite magicians of all time. He is amazing, beautiful, rhythmic, and deserves every second of applause he gets.

[@TheMadMedek]

AGT isn’t where it got started. They made him say that. Fool Us we all know it

[@pluto762]

The guy is an absolute legend. The presentation, the skill, it's amazing. And just like you said, at some point, I quit trying to see what he's doing, trying to figure out how he's doing it, and just enjoyed the moment. It was an awesome performance and I was both totally fooled and entertained. Well done!

[@allisonthesupernova447]

I really appreciate the fact that you didn't dissect his "tricks" but said "I think I know how he did " certain maneuvers and left it at that..Well done.Shin is an astounding illusionist ,so fluent. A joy to watch !

[@JasonParkerMagic]

allison thesupernova hey thanks!! Yeah I’m trying to walk a fine line with discussing but avoiding blatant exposure only for exposures sake. Glad you noticed! :)

[@ddland45]

You hit the nail on the head, my friend. Shin Lim is a consummate entertainer. His whole presentation just adds to the 'magic'. I don't care how he does what he does (partly because he's too friggin' good!). I'm just left craving for MORE!!!!

[@darkforcex7362]

I think this is his best card performance ever. He only slightly flashed on the first ace reveal. Besides that, it was perfect.

[@kbeesmot9928]

Jason, you are such a humble guy with great reviews being open and honest and not trying to be a smart arse in your reviews. It is as much a pleasure listening to you as it is the performers that you comment against. Thank you.

[@PR-pe9oc]

I’m glad u didn’t expose the “secrets” u have an idea about. It takes a lot of skill and practice to not only perform the illusions, flawlessly, but to also make it very entertaining. Leaving ppl speechless and wanting more. Some magicians have no respect for the art. You seem to honor and respect your fellow magicians. Thank you. 😊

[@JasonParkerMagic]

Pennie Roehrs thanks! I’m trying to walk the line somewhere in the middle. Moderation in all things. I respect my fellow magicians. But at the same time, I want to make more magic tutorial videos. In my mind, the key is focusing on good quality teaching (can encourage new magicians to start) vs simple exposure for exposure’s sake. My 2 cents. :)

[@xtremezone3820]

He didn't expose it because he COULDN'T.... he doesn't know how he did many of those things just like you don't know. Jason is a mediocre physical trick magician, and there are those who tap into the spirit world. And you will never know how they did it because to the natural brain it doesn't make sense but it actually happened. Some things he does you just can't trick... he actually does them, through the aid of spirits. Anyone who doesn't know about spirits or demonic entities is ignorant and shouldn't have anything to say.

[@Cloudryder9]

🙄☝🏼.... mmmm yeah.

[@daviddishington5093]

@@xtremezone3820 the paranormal has absolutely nothing to do with Shin Lim's performance. It was all hard work and hours of practice. Pure skill is what it is, not some "hocus-pokus, paranormal" reason. Keep the pseudo "christian" BS fear-mongering out of it. It's all pure physical skill. Period.

[@LucisFerre1]

XtremeZone, you're a nut. EVERYTHING Shim does is (a) gimmicked, or (b) slight of hand. That's an inclusive 'or' of course.

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

I always feel like my brain is going to explode every time I watch Shin Lim. I love this guy... I need to see him in person.

[@bpraise517]

I appreciate that Jason isn't critical but amazed like a true fan of magic.

[@beNatureable]

can't be more agree with you, Shin Lim's permanence is true art piece!

[@danuttall]

Shin Lim also appeared twice on Fool Us, where he fooled Penn & Teller both times. Absolute skill with the cards!

[@JasonParkerMagic]

I am about to record reactions to the other 2 magicians, and then edit those videos together. I will post links here when I am finished in about 5 hours from now probably...

[@coffinsnail6930]

Shin lims slight of hand and movements showing both hands are so perfect he makes it seem like magic. When i watch him even tho i understand most of the mechanics with him i just watch in amazement. With other magicians i try to spot the slight. Not with shin i just enjoy the perfection.

[@jgreenhalgh1]

It's remarkable that he had an accident a few years ago and had needles in his fingers didn't even know if he could use his hands again let alone do magic again it's quite remarkable I hope to see him once in my life 😊

[@Blondie42]

Little Shin is soooooo cute, not that he isn't now, but still.

[@macn9992]

This guy making us watch him watching the show...🤣🤣🤣

[@Ameuric99]

totally amazing. When he vanishes a card it is surreal. card just goes and you swear he was nowhere near it. Same thing bringing them back from wherever. He is SOOO f***king fast!

[@larue-.-mage4821]

was watching the video like, how is this guy gonna exposed Shin Lim? as expected u cant. The GOAT Magician of this era

this one was literally pure skill

You seem like a very nice person, much better than the wannabees that need to "expose" magicians. Best of luck to you.

Michael Woods hey thanks very much Michael! Looks like the finale will be next week including Shin Lim again, so check back and I’ll have another video on Tuesday :)

[@captainscentsible1811]

Truly think his magic and love from many online people.made him win.he was huge.never seen 1 person say anything neg about him during this time and for magic routines .its very rare.

[@Airik1111bibles]

The black table and angled slots ...still having the skills to make those targets is very crazy. I think the deck swaps are the most difficult cause its so much thicker. I love watching this guy he's so good.

[@vicvic2328]

Hey, great reaction. Very professional on not trying to mucking and show or explain us Shin Lim magic tricks. Great, and specially you being a magician.

[@JasonParkerMagic]

[@Ceejayke]

Am rather impressed with your sincere appreciation and admiration of a co-magician. Its just in your eyes. And that's magical too.

[@JasonParkerMagic]

Thanks so much! Yeah he is quite amazing :))

[@dawnhardin6868]

I love this act! ♥

[@LucisFerre1]

The hillarious thing is, I could expose how he's producing the cards at the beginning, and then vanishes the aces, and the correct method is so out there that everyone would assume I'm joking. LOL.

[@glynwilliams13266231]

Like others I enjoy that whilst you know more than many what he is doing your appreciation is very genuine. In a world of dissing the opposition it is refreshing to hear how much you enjoyed the performance and for me you are a much bigger man for it. Nice work.

[@tomjorlhabu9413]

It was awesome

[@deni_mego]

I totally agree with what you said about keeping things small, I'm sure AGT was the responsible of that production. Shin Lim doesn't need it

[@JasonParkerMagic]

Hell to the YEAH. I'm glad someone (you in this case) agrees about this! :)

[@misterxman1]

I loved your comments. They were very respectful of the art. I miss the days when magicians actually had a code. I hate those sites that reveal the secrets of performers on AGT. Shin Lim is awesome.

[@savann.sun1980]

He's so good. Thanks for sharing.

[@mdub2000]

i agree ....you just stop trying to figure it out....my thing is just to enjoy the talent and work he's put into it.....that was an amazing performance....i like how you mentioned how he has to perform at such a level for the camera's "unblinking" eye.....youtube and video channels these days have really pushed magicians to another level because everybody tries to slow mow vids to expose peoples work these days....for me I just want to enjoy the show and appreciate with gratitude the magicians work.

[@YamiPoyo]

Also about his hands remember penn and teller fool us the second time he went on he had just had tendon surgery on his hands and he was told by his dr he would never have his old dexterity back. He still fooled them a second time one of very few who has.

[@khiemdoofficial8289]

6:08 Ive tried 0.25 speed on this moment, but I couldnt tell how the heck he could vanish the cards. LOL bows to Shin

[@yogikkgaming]

Khiem Do Official its a using super black table, and its not a flat table, bcos so dark perfect black,

[@yogikkgaming]

And u can watch on houtube about perfect black or whatever its call that can absorb light

[@Mr73ivan]

Cards have black back sides.

[@someolddude3858]

@@yogikkgaming Table and cards do not need to have super black surface and backs, just identically solid-colored surfaces. Standard color cameras do not have the color discernment of the human eye, so if it is good enough to fool a person, it will already be more than good enough to fool a typical camera. You need matching colors, and even diffuse lighting so that the slight elevation of the card's edges do not cast a shadow along the card's border, and perfectly even coloring, so the eye can't use stereo vision to notice the area of the card is a bit higher than the rest of the table. Magicians have used this principle for like almost forever to hide stuff in plain sight on their prop tables.

[@sunshines4658]

Shin is amazing 👏👏👏

[@michaeltaylor6118]

Besides his incredible sleight of hand, his artistry is fabulous! Not only did I think, "Wow! How did he do that?", but it was all really fun to watch. I am not an experienced magician. The only idea I have of how he accomplished some of those effects is maybe magnetic cards(?) Anyhow, a great performance, and a great review!

Has anybody noticed Simon blinks his eyes like Walliams when making a point now?🤣

I agree with every word you say. It's so great when you stick to your basic talent. - don't do 10 things 99% well, but do one thing in life 101% and you will have success-

[@JeffO-]

I realize this is a late comment, but what I wonder most is when the cards went into Terry's pocket. Before the performance?

[@I-Told-U-So]

I never into card magic, but shin make me to watch it again. Who's hands is quicker, Shin Lim or Bruce Lee?

[@CalaTec]

Someone please explain. Why a guy who won AGT on a previews year goes back to AGT? Was he there as a guess, or he was taking part on the competition?

[@dewamshah8713]

His music really gives him the A factor

Yes his hands are so fast and with perfect precision. He was, so I understand a very good Concert pianist, also requiring precision fingers.

[@nesleyheiney3111]

I’m really glade he toned down the corny faces he does. You know the slow motion bay watch hair flops and intense facial expressions lol. He is a beast with slight of hand. I know part of his act is his mystery, it’s good to see the mystery without the mysterious faces is what I’m trying to say.

[@JasonParkerMagic]

Yeah I can agree with that... I hadn't thought about it too much before, but now that you mention it, I know what you are referring to haha

[@ddonlee]

Actually lots of people do like those expessions rather than an expressionless face which most magicians portray. I guess it actually makes him more charming. Its just my preference , just sayin..

[@JasonParkerMagic]

Donovan Lee that’s a good point too. I actually heard you need to amp up your energy about 30% for the camera, in order to appear like a normal energy level in real life. It feels that way for me too even in my videos.

[@ddonlee]

[@inukrieger5206]

the best part about shim is he practice a trick and got an realy bad injury on his thump and the doctors said it can be that you never can do your card trick and magic but he overcome the hurde and came back and he his better then ever

[@jamesrich8463]

So um can we get a hint on the cards disappearing on the table. Um im not a magician but Im going to guess..that table is that special black material that only like reflects 1%light or whatever and I believe that is really what is used for purposes of cards to appear or disappear.

[@MonteD1]

Only commenting to help your algorithm. Agree with your assessment.

[@DavidLindes]

Hmm, so... at 6:09, I went frame by frame. There's a frame where the card is blurring down towards the table, and then in the next frame they're gone. Hands are facing the camera (more or less), and the laws of physics say to me the only conceivably-possible option for this to be a real slight-of-hand trick is that they then were quickly down on the table, with a black backing that blended in well... and even so, it seems... too quick?!? Did they help him out in post?!?? I'm feeling skeptical of this.

[@jasoncardenas2613]

They should make a show where they do nothing but magic tricks in front of Terry. Best reaction face ever.

[@durchauskritisch7443]

I would like u to explain the parts u have an idea about, because it was very mindblowing, i cant even imagine how he got the card in his pocket or change the whole deck

[@JasonParkerMagic]

Hey! Yeah I was kinda struggling with that. Because to make cards disappear on the table like how he is doing I believe he is using an old and well-protected magic secret. And on top of that I don't think it's obvious. I didn't mind commenting before on methods when I felt that an average audience member would be thinking the same thing I was.... or it was just some over-done trick people have seen a million times. In this case... I'm a little hesitant to just expose his methods. He clearly puts in a lot of work to make his performances beautiful... and I don't wanna just barge in and spoil some core thing he is using repeatedly. I'm trying to walk a fine line between the good exposure and the bad exposure. (Teaching magic to others in my mind falls under good exposure.)

The back of the card were black? Computer Monitor the table as black also.

[@jasonredhorn5697]

Shin Lim and Eric chien have out of this world slight of hand skill. I don't know who's better

[@swifty1969]

the back of those cards disappearing have the exact same black texture as the table so all Shin does is flip them face down on table giving the illusion of disappearance into thin air. All those cards are still there just camouflaged.

[@BailyRoe]

Why? It's because Europeans don't use the English identification for playing card suits. My guess is that applies to all foreign languages. In France (and French Canada), for example: Trèfles means clovers (or clubs ♣) Carreaux means tiles (or diamonds. ♦ ) Cœurs also means hearts (hearts ♥), and Piques means pikes (or spades ♠)
