The story was disappearing and reappearing love. I mean, the petals became a flower again. That's incredible! Fantastic talent!!

[@lawrencewong4347]

simon said he cant see it; cause the magic is too small even on youtube i can barely see the petal

[@asjchy123]

@@lawrencewong4347but they are always able to see all the card tricks.. you guys infuriate me with your dumbness

[@lawrencewong4347]

@@asjchy123 cause card tricks are literally done right in front of the judges and the cameras are zoomed in

[@GG-mr9iz]

Beautiful

[@stevenbeck]

I’m confused why Mel and Simon needed a story. Just appreciate the magic! His tricks were insane and it left me wondering “how?!”

[@sirishp4156]

Partially agree with you..but there was a song going in the back and he did try to tell a story with all what he did

[@tennisCharlzz]

The judges realize they have influence, so they probably agreed that they would gang up to make Yu's chances less. They have done this before. I'm sure they don't say "what does that song even mean?" when a good singer sings it. They accept lyrics are silly and don't ding the singer.

[@thecooler170]

Well then he should change the introduction and not make it seem like a story when it doesn't add up.

[@thecooler170]

@@tennisCharlzz wdym. The judge is being honest. He is not at shin lim level.

[@talibesah1596]

Simon really talks thrash he really dun knows what is a magic kinds

[@LeagueofJay137]

He is possibly the best magician since Shin Lim I agree with Howie Doesn't need a story to be amazing It was about love

[@user-ll5cn1lh6v]

I agree. This guy is shin's master

[@jasonbarrylambeth]

This guy is miles above Shin in terms of ability. Shin would say just the same.

[@sush3288]

slight of hand is supposed to be smooth and this was far from smooth

[@elijahk193]

He is not the best since shin... Eric is way better than him

[@justmusic2353]

Actually he was famous before Shin not after, also they are really good friends

[@sharanyagupta5068]

No way this was a fair judgement!! It was based on love, the various symbols used, of the paper airplane (could be a love letter), the camera (perhaps symbolizing the sweet memories) a woman (here he showed Heidi) and then he showed another picture of a couple in a dancing pose (romantic relationship)... there wasn't a specific story imo, it was just pure love, and all transformed into rose petals... each of them holding meaning, hence making the rose complete in the end, symbolizing love itself! It was quite simple and easy to follow💖 not to mention his SMOOTH hand tricks, he's friggin' TALENTED!!!

[@mytwocentsworth]

I agree I think he is amazing!

[@sharanyagupta5068]

@@mytwocentsworth I know right!!🥺🥺

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

Yes, he was already famous before going on AGT.

[@ajsan2001]

He deserved to be in the final, he's possibly the best magician besides maybe Shin Lim to be on this show ever. Absolutely adore him and his act, he's amazing at his craft.

[@relaxcalmly1742]

Magic isnt always about a story. What he did was magical and represented love as his theme. His magic is unique and different from others in the past because it’s always so beautifully crafted and executed. ❤

[@zakariabekhada1667]

He is amazing those judges think its easy to come up with a whole show in less amount of time Yu Hojin is one of the best magicians in the whole world !

[@terrencemapika6724]

The most beautiful magic is LOVE! It comes in many forms, sometimes it's not understandable, but in the end, it is perfect!!

[@winniethepooh4039]

Omg I love him. It’s something different of what we’re used to see and it’s so entertaining

[@brittanybrown484]

And interesting too ❤❤❤

[@peacefulway3]

He is brilliant. The judges are just expressing their opinions. And there was a story.

[@ginafriend1690]

Yu Hojin has wonderful stage presence. He carries himself so well 🙌 Excellent demeanor ❤

[@alothaiqi]

He gave the most amazing magic show ever on AGT stage and Simon says I don't expect this to be enough to get to the final !!!! what's going on guys!!! what story you want!! I point to the sky and the idiot looks at my finger

[@sterlthepearl1000]

Magic is the total defiance, of all natural laws and science. With magic, the impossible becomes possible.

[@RosesAreRed615]

This is his best act ever! I just love it!

[@rschmidt7366]

It was beautiful….i understand Mel B not getting it, she never gets it, but Simon? Omg. It was so beautiful…it was about love ..what was not to get. Besides the incredible magic !!!! So smooth and so beautiful.

[@dustincoffman2426]

It was a story of love. Wow magic doesn't need a full story just a theme. Was great

[@tamarinbush6613]

Magic doesn’t always have to tell a story. I think they are so used to all the magicians having a story. It should be about magic. Shin Lim did coin and card tricks and they were so cool.

[@conniewaterman1673]

It may be time for some newer, fresher judges!

[@Teclado1995]

Well u are right, but in the end, if u have to be different to go up and rise u can´t do just magic, i don't say that what he did was not amazing but in the end, he is just another magician and to be in the finals maybe that's not good enough..

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

@@conniewaterman1673I agree and they need newer judges.

[@AustinSamson1999]

Look I understand the point of the story falling alittle flat but irregardless his tricks were AMAZING, they legit got stuck on the story piece and didn’t address that like 10 different objects appeared and then disappeared with MINIMAL hand movements. Like HOW?!?! Amazing, hope he gets votes 👏

[@lawrencewong4347]

cause too small; it's not voted by america, but the live audience they cant see whats happening

[@libahopeson1296]

Good enough to get through to the final Simon and Mel B... His message was Love, the greatest story

[@sieira12]

That was fire didn’t need a story

[@niyabearbee]

He was amazing I love how he made the rose disappear it was a lovely little story about Love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@brittanybrown484]

I've enjoyed this passionate time

[@user-fe9vw1py1e]

Really incredible ❤ You must be in the Final, your story so unique

[@shawnvalerio6836]

The story was about love and moments… but more importantly was the magic tricks on display! The 2 confused judges are asking for drama in a magic act. They don’t appreciate subtlety.

[@silkexkaname]

I don't care about Mel B or Simon comments. I was truly amazed and I am always amazed by how Yu Hojin makes magic! It is beautifully done and very smooth. It doesn't always have to be a story about a man fall in love with another and they get married happy ever after.. Love is much more than that and can be many things. I always enjoy watching Yu Hojin and what I love about him is that he doesn't only do one trick like using cards as many other magicians do. He always use all kinds of stuff. I never know what he has planned and that is one of the reasons why I am always looking forward to his performances. and then he does it really smooth and relaxed.

[@traceymay2027]

This is SO beautiful. You turned everything into love and restored the rose back into full vibrant symbol of love. Great message. Your heart and mind is SO full of beauty and love that you SO generously infuse into the pulse of the universe.

[@KhoaTran-tt7wq]

Some other magic acts in this show didn't really a story either. Just magic. Just appreciate the magic. And that's the story itself. Magic. Plus, he was talking about love. This act was awesome.

[@whiteandblackmokona]

It's mindblowing how fast and smoothly he can make things appear and disappear! Like real magic honestly! So amazing

[@BertAlip]

Its real magic!not a trick even its a average magic for the show only .but still a magic .

[@kherreragmail6676]

I love how calm he was too. He wasn't shouting or using profane language. He got his point across perfectly.

well just like howie said six people did not get it ...its was the love disappeared when the petals fell n love reappeared when the petals came together again..the magic was insane the story was beautiful..he is sleek with the work loved it

[@napeekapunpimtongnara9111]

A great personality from Yu he always surprises the audience in split second tat is what we called magic and suspense incredible talent n speed!! Those who dint get it is becos they're too slow for the eye to digest

[@jopau4090]

One of the best pure magician..

[@user-yo2ei5vq7o]

Everything starts from 💕 and ends in 💕 that's the story he told us all. He showed we took photograph because of 💕 we manage time for 💕 we send letters because we 💕 we flew for love. We even don't know the person in the photo but we fall in love so what else did they need. Those two judges must concentrate on the magic to follow the story. They missed the story because they were trying to find his tricks. Magic doesn't work for them and some others who happened to get bussy halfway. Great tricks by the way

[@odycey]

Haven't felt this kind of thrill watching magic act since Shin Lim. Yu Hojin is CRAZY

[@ReadTheDollar]

It is more than enough. U can't understand Magic but only be surprised and amazed at what you see

How can they not get the story? I don't even understand why they see it as such a big issue. The important part is the magic and his sleight of hand. He's incredibly skilled.

[@justinparks654]

It's a shame he didn't make it to the finals. Magical

[@Blondie42]

I love watching Yu perform. I still like to rewatch his 2012 Paris Grand prix of magic performance from time to time. He was/is an inspiration to Shen Lim in his magic.

[@Blueeyes0102]

Wow he’s an amazing magician and showed the world that with his amazing magic act ….Mel B and Simon really have been saying a lot of harsh comments lately and don’t even make sense when they talk ….they don’t need a story to go with magic ….this was an incredible performance …sending love from New Jersey ❤

He is very good, I really wish I could have seen this in person..

[@LifeWithYourAmazingKylie]

I really liked this guy this on and the first one it’s really unbelievable and there was a story .❤

[@afriend8888]

actually quite agree with lack of story but more in a way that it could have been so much more. maybe if he just started with "how love can appear and disappear" then in the end "but we still choose to love", when he brings the rose back, it would be enough to tie it all in.

[@lawrencewong4347]

the objects were too small for that stage

[@akumaakeldama]

I believe that magic doesnt always require a story to be good. As a magician myself who performs for a lot of my friends and family (and at their parties or gatherings), I try to use my magic, not always to tell a story but to try and brighten up the people around me

Love him from the first time i saw him❤❤❤

Who cares if you didn’t get the story it was amazing!

[@milonislam8836]

*For those who didn't get the story:* Sometimes we lose our loved one from our life. We may not get the person back, but we always feel the emotion of love through some memories. 0:20 (Rose petals fly away) Sometimes we lose our loved one from our life. 0:45 (Notebook) represents all the memories with the loved one. 0:50 (Paper plane) represents childhood memories. 0:55 (Envelope/first love letter) represents teenage memories 1:00 (Heidi's photo) represent memories from young age 1:07 (Notebook turns into petals) These memories bring back some feelings. 1:18 (The watch turns into petals) Our past always brings back some feelings. 1:32 (Photo of a couple hugging) represents memories during relation. 1:40 (Camera turns into petals) These memories bring back some feelings 2:00 (Ring levitating) represents wedding ring was not worn 2:04 (Ring turns into petals) Sad memory, but brings back some feelings. 2:18 (Goodbye letter/could be a suicide note with the heart drawn by blood, turns into petals) Heartbreaking memory but brings back some feelings. 2:35 (Dropped petals turn into rose) These feelings bring back the love. Love never dies.

[@nankaykhinewin3489]

Throughout the magic show, his face looked worried and uncomfortable. His movements were too slow, and the way he clipped the book was too obvious.

[@hadeelo8029]

Mel and Simon should go on the stage and do his magic with story, let see then how this was not enough to win

[@LuningningTolentino88Star88]

Simon never liked him in the first place. He criticized Yu Hojin's in his 1st appearance on AGT and retracted what he said on Yu Hojin's 2nd performance. So, I'm not surprised with his comments now. The magic of Hojin is not the usual and that is what makes him different from all the others. I think Simon has this think about Asians.
