this was so much fun to watch. Shin Lim is so clever and engaging to watch. Brilliant magic and Ellen's reactions were so much fun

[@bullfrogeth]

When he showed that the decks were shuffled the same, they were both missing the Ace of hearts. I think that pretty much means he knew ahead of time Twitch was going to name it, and that he had them stashed somewhere else to prepare for the card-swap reveal...

This right here has me dumbfounded - there are so many tricks bundled into this incredible routine and I cant even explain one of them. Ellen legit shuffles that deck so in theory part 1 has to be a deck swop but the camera never cuts away.

Gold Hill Road I love magic. But I don’t like when people use actors and set up tricks. Like when Darren brown used three cameras to predict the lottery which he later apologised for. Slight of hand and mis-direction are cool. This trick is cool, but 1.00 you see Ellen has a spade on the bottom of her deck. It changes to a club. He touches the deck, where he must make a switch.

The second card is to get our attention away from something else...how did he make it into ace of hearts is the question

[@krklsu9109]

Yeah, each card has an Ace of hearts with it. I think he somehow palms the 7 and AoS and you can see him drag his palms on the mat at 2:27 after pushing the face down cards to front of mat, probably sliding the other cards into a slot in the mat. Man, he is so dang good. I can almost see how he is doing the tricks but just cant quite figure it out. He is a master. Anytime you see tricks being done on a mat like that, you know the mat is there for a reason.
