Boy I'm a sleight of hand specialist for over 15 years but that mid air 4 card appearance at 10:22 was out of this world. I can't even comprehend the technique behind this. I've watched it again and again and.. Wow man.... Respect Shin.

[@ahchiu9]

This was wonderful, a great show of respect. Horrut genuinely looked shocked when Shin produced the 4 cards, and at the end, he THANKED Shin for involving him in the trick like that. Lovely.

[@stitchfurby6386]

Confidence level after being told: your a wizard 7/10. Confidence after being told: your like shin lim 10000/10

[@pweisz1]

Here's my theory about Shin Lim's mind-boggling trick. First, he used an off-screen accomplice to write Horret's answers on the 4 cards. Then, when Horret's picture-in-picture suddenly grew to obscure half the screen, the accomplice positioned the cards, edge towards camera, against the black bar in the background. With zero depth of field, the four cards were hidden in plain sight when the picture-in-picture reverted back to normal size. Shin plucked the cards from the black holder making it appear that he grabbed them from thin air. This was done so smoothly, so brilliantly that the illusion baffles not only the naked eye, but also the slo-mo camera. The greatest living magician of our era.

[@iceman58796]

I think you're spot on.

[@thejellokats8338]

Re-watched the four cards appearing like 25 times... simply cannot get my head around it! What the heck???? Shin Lim, you're truly a class act. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@sarcasticscapegoat5995]

Hardest part for Shin was keeping his body and hands in frame so nothing got cut off until he grabbed the cards placed just off frame by an assistant that filled out the cards for him. That took much practice to get correct and look the way it did. Props to precision

[@foxhero1337]

So this is how the Sith amuse themselves.

[@invisionfn5434]

I literally just watched that in slomo and you actually pulled those cards out of thin air, im beyond amazing keep up the great work!

[@daemonch.9307]

I hope shin lim hearts this, that would really make my day, i started practicing magic like 8 months ago, and you are one of my inspirations on why i strive and work hard to enhance my sleight of hand. Thank you for that shin

[@ctakitimu]

Horret's ability to deal from the bottom and stealthily drop cards unseen onto his lap is super impressive given the size differences!

[@evinsleddervedder6816]

I figured it out.. Shin had someone writing down the answers off screen and while shins body blocked the view they placed them in a clip lined up perfectly with the frame of his trophy cabinet making them invisible from our view.This was the magic of angles and perspective. Horrets jumbo card trick was mind boggling and I couldn't figure that one out..Master's!

[@hannanmukadam5023]

Shin, you r not a magician atall, you r Mozart of magic. your creativity is of another level.

I think the nonexistent card appearing was a card that was aligned to the black shelf behind shin lim. There must be a black string or anything where he can put those cards aligned to the black shelf. The camera got cut halfway to his left when he's about to start. That was fucking brillant!

[@pavlostiritiris4010]

I think that someone was writing on those cards while shin talking with Horret and somehow gave them to shin wihout being noticed

[@tiger5869]

@@thetruth6931 either the whole thing is faked or that wasn't video edited, given the fact that he got such a rise out of a fellow card magician in a video call watching it.

I *think* the backdrop isn't his actual apartment, but instead it's a green screen. The accomplice is behind the green screen and passes them parallel to the camera line through a slit that corresponds to the side of his trophy case. Not a trick he can do in front of a live audience.

[@timpan0]

He is writing it down with his left hand, and the cards are lined up with the frame behind him. Maybe just a thin lace that hangs down from the roof, then he just rips it off. Something like that :)

well my best theory is .,.., when he was asking questions to Horret third person wrote it down . First card he took under the table at 8:39 ,,,fading card trick was normal ,,,, Cards from thin air:: notice he covered the camera view of the area from where he pulled cards ,,,the third person kept the cards oriented as sideways with very thin stick exactly the edge of line .,,.,.

The only thing I can think of for how he gets the four cards to materialize is that his apartment backdrop is really a green screen with a slit/hole where the side of his trophy case is. His accomplice is behind the green screen writing the answers on the cards and carefully poking them through the slit over Shin's shoulder so when the time comes he just pinches them and fans them out.

[@todoamc3614]

Horret's trick 1: Part 1(Change in size): Of course Horret pulled the small cards from the bottom pretending it is the top. This is because when he makes the cards small, the front doesn't look like it moves. Also, if you look carefully, he makes a small gap between the small and big cards with his index finger. In 1:35, he sneakily puts the hidden small cards into the bottom. In 2:34, Horret changes it all into small cards. He actually leaves the rest of the small cards at the top and slides the big cards to his knee, and uses his index finger gap to leave the small cards. When he compares two cards, he actually grabs two small cards, drop one of it quick. He puts the left big card onto his knees and grabs the dropped small card to create. the illusion that it changed.

[@ABrokenSociety]

I saw the 7 of Spade when you were showing the "blank" cards for just a moment. So I can definitely tell this is not pre-planned because that routine was new. I will say though, I know how you got those four cards written. :p How you produced them so clean, man, No clue. lmao
