At around 3m , you can see the back of the card are black like the board, he just turn them and they blend with board, you can see him draging his hand mutipletimes over the board to drag the cards back towards him. And if you look closely, sometimes you can see card outlines on the board (3:08)

[@Simply_Genius]

Shin Lim brings back the mystery element to magic. Not only do we not know how he did most of this stuff, we really don't WANT to know. It's almost as if we're satisfied with the amazement that comes with the trick itself. A truly brilliant, refreshing magician.

[@CaerelsJan]

Yes exactly! With about every trick done on the show I wanna know how they deceived my mind or how easy the trick sometimes is. But Shins magic is something you don't want to ruin by figuring it out. It just feels so satisfying not knowing it. It almost feels like it isn't a trick, but pure magic

[@jpow333]

Matthew Thomas. No you don't.

[@canisvest]

Simply Genius actually its the whole opposite to me. Most of the stuff he did was even openly thought by Shin himself and the only thing i don't know is how he's always doing those deck switches. I'm actually disappointed in both Shin and P&T because first, you can actually buy his explanation of 52 shades of red which includes most of his performance and it's not so clever to go to fool us with a routine where the majority of the effects are known to everyone who wants to spend a bit of money. And i'm disappointed in P&T because they didn't even try to figure out how he switched decks (this is the only unexplainable part for me because i know the rest if it for sure). Normally they would ask him questions if he used black magic or Teller would go up to him and show him his idea on his sketchbook but Penn just looked behind the table and gave Shin the Price. Not that I disrespect anyone of them, they all are great magicians and i really admire their skill and creativity, but with Penn and Tellers knowledge -which is far greater then mine- they should not've been fooled.

[@YonyGut1MakesMetalCovers]

I know some moves he makes, and you know what? Still knowing the method... My love for this act does not dissapear! I LOVE IT EVEN MORE! :D Shin is freakin' AMAZING.

[@canisvest]

Yony Gut1 I love this act too and knowing how he's done most of it makes it even more impressive because I couldn't even do it nearly as good. I was just saying that he should not have done this on the show but something they couldn't figure out. (I really was suprised to see penn and teller being fooled by an act that's for sale)

Exactly, I saw all of the tricks, but I still think it was a fair fool. There are no physical evidence if you don't pry to far. The mat is ordinary and the table too, there are clearly no hatches or pockets in the mat or table-top, but he does have a secret. As long as that secret is kept there is no way to say exactly what method the secret uses. You can only figure out how the effect is done but not with exactly what means. What kind of forces are in play when it comes to tension, If you know what I'm saying ;) Some of the tricks are really just sleight of hand though and some of them are tricks that every card magician knows. But they are close to perfection, so it really doesn't matter if you know.

So so stunning. Many other acts on this show are an invitation to the viewer (almost a taunt, even) to figure out how it's done. All the talking, set-up, reveal, they all tell us that they're gonna do this amaaaazing trick and it's almost like a "heyyy I bet you can't figure out how I did that". So naturally all we want to do is figure it out. This one makes you wonder how it's done for sure, but it's more an invitation to join in the magic. The aesthetic of your performance (the music, the movement, the choice of tricks) just invites us into your world for a moment. Everyone knows it's sleight of hand, even if we don't know the details, but for once I'm not dying to know every little move you made because it wouldn't really matter. Stunning!

Indeed, usually I'm the kind of person that wants to have a rough idea how it works, but in case of Shin Lim, my mind gives up and just enjoys the show.

[@mondaypewpew2833]

Well said

[@thexalon]

The thing I particularly love about this act: Shin Lim kept his hands and forearms visible the entire time. None of this "put a cloth in front of the magician for a bit while he does something sneaky" or "make you look somewhere else while my other hand is pulling a fast one". He's right in front of you, doing these things that astonish, and encouraging you to stare right at him while he does it. That's so pure, so perfect, the guy is pretty much defining everything stage magic should be.

[@liamtideswell4970]

thexalon I agree... what Shin does is just wonderful he is a breath of fresh air to the magic world ☺

[@markyisser9004]

iiii knooowwww?? !! right? his sleeves are up he shows his hands??... wtf is that?

[@overnightclassic2]

The bad thing about this routine is it's exactly what you describe but in a different way. He's doing *VERY* sneaky things, but in "plain view." The problem being is this trick is actually filmed twice (notice how his sleeves go up and down during the routine) because you can see everything in the original performance. This trick definitely looks awful up close, and a lot of the lighting has to be careful, or you can see the cards on the table. He used to have a video up where you could see all the black backed cards on the table, in plain view the whole time, and I believe he took it down, but the magic was completely ruined when you could just see them sitting there the whole time. In a few instances in this video you can see them too, but it's very subtle. The main problem with this routine is he took a black art card concept, which until this point was used for only minor effects, and made it the star of his illusion. He's overused it to the point where it becomes kind of obvious what he's doing once you watch his performance a few times, and it gives away a relatively unknown secret to laypeople. His routines are good, but they are borderline too edgy because certain parts are way too obvious and they giveaway too much. For example the dream act is magical the first time you view it, but after that, it's way too obvious that he's using duplicate cards.

[@themaggot8]

I didn't noticed that this was recorded twice until you mentioned the sleeves thing, and yes, you are correct. I have the 52 shades of red V1 and V2 and they look beautiful in camera with the correct lightning, but up close it looks like complete shit.

Actually the air of seriousness or mystique was so tiring and cliche (frac and top hats, anyone?) that the new generation of magicians added comedy to it. Now with Shin Lim he is actually bringing back the classical magic to the masses. There are trends even in magic, humans get tired very quickly, and seems that everything old become cool again every 30 years.

[@Thiefsie]

Interesting that you can see the Vanta Black (or similar) painted on the back of the cards, which creates an outline when viewed from the faces when held together. This would be because you need to ensure full coverage from the back side to blend into the felt when face down. Nice to think those cards are hidden on the felt from the start and he just palms them, reveals, and then faces them down before sliding off under the table.

[@vatsalsharma4061]

[@harrisonwest1265]

I was fully expecting to come down here and see everyone trying to poke holes in this trick but I was pleasantly surprised.

[@DevilBirdProductions]

I mean, if you want someone to poke holes in the trick, allow me to illuminate. If you look closely, little magical holes are poked in his hands that move the cards from our plane of existence to a separate pocket dimension for storage. It's plain as day, really.

Shin Lim is awesome one of my favorites I think I have a guess for anyone wondering how he does it at 2:16 if you frame by frame on full screen you can just barely see the outline of the card on the black mat as he flips the cards So I am assuming they just all had black backs to cover them and blend in with his mat then he has some insane/incredible sleight of hand to make it look as amazing as it does

[@Ashitaka1110]

[@IvanGeorgiev---]

[@thesterndragoon9159]

Mr. Lim, I have come to the conclusion that you must have bargained with fairies for your powers. You are the only magician I've ever watched unbroken footage of who never once takes a suspicious palming or stealing stance. I watch magicians carefully to check the timing and techniques of their "dirty work", and I can honestly say that I can't detect a single one of your sleights. Most of the time, your hands never even go near your body to take things from! I am genuinely flabbergasted by your art and inspired by your dedication and performance. You are truly a talented and wonderful practitioner of the art.

[@DanInBranson]

You couldn't be more right. I have watched this 3 times and damned if I can see anything he pulls off. He's friggin' good!

[@stevenjordan187]

The cards have black backs that blend in perfectly with the black mat. He's ridiculously fast at putting them in his hands with techniques like the one at 2:17 where he uses the corner of a card to flip two cards from the mat into his hand. Even when the video is slowed down to 0.25x, the cards aren't there in 1 frame and are in the next frame. He's just that fast.

[@JrodProductions1000]

The Stern Dragoon deal with the devil thats what it is

[@therenaissanceman8563]

To say bargained with fairies is being nice. I thought a little lower than that.

[@larrykenobi5423]

The Stern Dragoon It’s a great performance but i definitely see some unnatural movements that give some things away. Watch 2:58 and imagine the back of the cards are black. They were never in his hands to be crushed- he throws them on the table and then very obviously sweeps them off. Every time after a card “disappears” watch the hand that doesn’t have cards in it. He is drawing your attention to the cards in one hand while sweeping away the card that “disappeared “ with the other.

Penn and Teller are very experienced professional magicians. When it comes to magic tricks, all it takes is knowing the category of the trick: card tricks, dice, etc for Teller to pretty much know what techniques are applied and how the trick is done. There no need to "try." They will either know how its done or won't. Only amateurs will guess. And only the inexperienced will try. Probably, they know how a trick is done 10 seconds into the magician doing it. And if they don't know by then, there's no point wasting time.
