Wes Barker: Live on Tour

Comedy Magic by Wes Barker
Filmed on the Hungry For Laughs Comedy Tour by ECL Productions (Fall 2023)
Shot by Cole Bayford.
Show dates: linktr.ee/stun...
Wes Barker is a Canadian magician and comedian doing funny tricks, and telling great stories. You may know me from my TV show Big Trick Energy (truTV, HBOmax, Netflix). Watch here for hilarious, ridiculous, and unfiltered ideas with magic, stunts, and pranks. Either I'm the funniest magician who is also a stand-up comic, or maybe I'm the comic who is the best at magic? Either way you get the idea. I tour all over doing colleges, comedy clubs, and corporate events. Catch the adventures and tricks right here. With this magician / comedian from Vancouver, based out of Toronto, Canada. I make funny stuff. That’s my only rule. Everything has to be funny, from street magic to stage illusions, as long as there is a joke to be made. I do magic tricks, sketches, stand-up comedy, card tricks, mind reading, and tricks with naked people. I’ve been on America’s Got Talent, Penn & Teller: Fool Us, MTV Greatest Party Stories Ever, and Wizard Wars. You can find me pulling pranks on friends, gags on strangers, or just general sleight of hand, magic, illusions, and the occasional bar bet. Wes Barker also hosts a podcast with Chris Ramsay called Bottom Of The Barrel. Go check it out!

I have NEVER seen anyone do the straightjacket like this. Absolutely incredible.

[@ChrisRamsay52]

I can't wait for every magician to do all of these tricks/jokes at their shows.

[@BenziTrain]

I'm stealing the tricks AND this comment.

[@seanfaherty]

I think he’d make a million selling that t-shirt trick to magicians. ( I think I have a method but is it Mr Barker’s ? ) but he should copyright that straight jacket inscape. That is just fucking wonderful entertainment on every level.

[@WesBarker]

Haha thanks Chris!

[@JoshNorbido]

Just gonna put this ☂️ away now that I’ve found some shade. ☀️

[@NickRaff]

I just performed this whole show last night! Jokes and all!! Thanks Wes 🙃

[@WesBarker]

Please like, comment your favourite parts, and share it with someone who will love it also.

[@JerrJang316]

my favorite part was the mind reading 👍 but of ALL your bits, the straight jacket will always be my #1 favorite - almost as clever as the mind reading lol - i feel like that's not something that u think about for a long time, but more a "eureka!" moment / "re-invent the wheel" type of trick and it's SOOOO funny because as it gets closer to the end, you look more and more like someone that really SHOULD be wearing one 😂... ppl say magic defies science ; i figure thats the only one that ACTUALLY does, by breaking the law of diminishing returns 👍👍

[@demortis]

Getting INTO a straight jacket has to be the best! Comedy is solid through the whole thing, but just the concept and execution of getting into a straight jacket made my face hurt.

[@TUFRIDEGPGT]

Best 25 minutes I've spent all year. That was entertaining as fuck.

[@toolebukk]

That ripped t-shirt trick is so weird and good 😆

[@WesBarker]

I love it

[@justinbanks2380]

12:24 sooo much respect for even being able to balance the beer like that, let alone be able to move and talk while doing. 😂😅

[@DavidM-lj5yv]

Such a fun and original show. I love when you post these. That balloon "sword" cut in two-- that was awesome !! All of it was. Very happy for you Wes.

[@joshuabel2863]

Best mixture of magic and comedy hands down! Shit wait he said keep them up🙆‍♂️!!!LOL I was amazed and not because he told me to act amazed! Great stuff Wes!

[@bellonthemove]

Awesome Wes! Thanks for sharing this performance.

[@grotgrusson5124]

Thanks Wes for sharing this with us 🙂👍 I realy liked the card trick routine, and the mind reading, very impressive. 😄

[@AlexBoyer]

FUN. ENTERTAINING. LOVE IT 🤘🔥

[@angelathompson5654]

Great show Wes,loved it.Best of luck with future shows and life. Love ❤️ and bless you. (SWEET 💜💯💫)💞💙

[@jimmckay2337]

Best Stunt Magician on the planet right here. 😂😂😂

[@minteractivebricks]

Love your humour and interaction with the Audience especially Mr Africa haha, certainly the best I have seen in a magic act. The swallowing balloon trick was probably my favourite. Keep up the great work. Well done on Cole for his film work as well.

[@Gasaholics]

I need more of this asap 😂❤

[@travisbmagic]

this is so fun! the reverse straitjacket is legendary (and I love the t-shirt trick)

[@Lincriss]

Just loved every minute of it ❤❤❤

[@DanOnTheGo1]

An absolutely great show!!!! thanks so much for sharing and come to Ottawa some time HAHAHAHAHA

[@spaceDJ_11]

Never stops being great.

[@benbubear8046]

Absolutely brilliant stuff Wes! Hopefully one day you'll do a UK tour

[@JoshNorbido]

Pure entertainment! 👏👏👏the beer bar bet omg 🔥

[@benjaminfranklin4149]

Wes you have all the potential in the world to do an hour and a half show in 1,000+ seat theaters. That was outstanding. The t-shirt trick is an absolute stunner and the straight jacket routine is gold. Also, the "f you" pick a card for kid's bit was hilarious. Your physicality really sets you apart from other acts. More please! I wish you'd tour the US. I'd buy tickets in a heartbeat.

[@ShaunLuttin]

Kathryn and I watched this tonight (just after watching some David Williamson). We loved your show and laughed our faces off.

[@imma5269]

Great act. At first I was just gonna watch a few minutes but ended up watching the whole thing. Cheers

[@pewpl]

This was very fun to watch. Awesome show

[@toburae3870]

Can't believe I missed this in the feed! Now that I've seen it, I absolutely love it Wes!!❤

[@NelsonDellis]

THE BESTTTTT

[@osmia]

So good Thanks for recording and sharing with us

[@returntozero2112]

This was far and away one of the funniest and most entertaining shows I have ever seen. Yeah, I did not say magic show...I said show. Absolutely awesome. You ever come to Nashville, I am there.

[@falconwind00]

Really enjoyed this on my lunch break! For the balloon trick, if someone says to bring it back, tell them they’ll have to wait a few hours and it won’t be fun.

[@divitratti]

Just what I needed today!!

[@conkysamsquanch]

hilarious and super entertaining, loved it.

[@angelathompson5654]

[@antihiro]

This was fantastic! Great job, Wes! Wish I could give it more than one thumbs up.

[@EpaphroditusBeltishazzar]

This was some of the best comedy magic I've ever seen! Absolutely brilliant! 😂

[@nobodyspecial2835]

You're fuckin awesome, Wes. Thank you for sharing yourself with the rest of us.

[@Johnmichaelboy]

Wow! Simply amazing! Everything was a great mix of comedy and magic. Most importantly learned not to have a magician at my kids birthday party and stretch before doing the bar trick, Well done!

[@miamimagicians]

The tape trick is the best illusion I’ve seen in YEARS! DAmn he’s good

[@loremipsum720]

Awesome.

[@TheMallrat]

This was hilarious and very cool. Would love to see you perform live here in the UK

[@WhittleDragon]

The twist on the straight jacket is actually genius. The shear depth of the joke and trick is enough to spark a wave. This would be an amazing show to check out.

[@corbinschad1]

The magic was great, but the performance was absolute top notch. You are a gell of a performer.

[@ertegin]

Top notch entertainment, keep it up!

[@kyleleon85]

What a perfect comedy magic show. Amazing Wes! ❤

[@WesBarker]

[@dckoppen]

Awesome, I laughed so loud! Thank you, this is a lovely christmas present, all the best and happy holidays!

[@Ljplaysplanes]

This is amazing, feels like if Brian Brushwood were younger and Canadian!

[@MagicNomadic]

What a great show, I thoroughly enjoyed watching you here, I can only imagine how much better it is to live. You have unique style, charm and wit. Keep on keeping on brother!

[@kenoathiog1156]

It takes supreme skill & talent to appear shambolic- great show Wes !!!👍

[@binnsbrian]

Loved the restored t-shirt.

[@travisbmagic]

[@ericchristie8059]

Awesome show Wes!

[@sebastianneumann794]

[@skillfulVandal]

That was brilliant mate, 😂😂😂

[@carolinehaf21]

Wes, that show ender is incredible!! The physicality and the little crazy noises as you do it are the best 😅

[@sambrew5023]

God damn it, why didn't I think of doing a straight jacket escape BACKWARDS? Pure genius!

[@thedavemoses]

Great show, as always! And the strait jacket is sheer genius!

[@thedavemoses]

Oh wait!!! The torn and restored t-shirt! THAT is sheer genius!

[@TheSleightDoctor]

Pure entertainment. The straightjacket stunt had me crying with laughter. 👏

[@liveinput]

That was the best

[@OzzyInSpace]

Wes... one of the best comedy magic shows in town. I mean you'll always be "2nd" best lol and all, but I hope you keep at it bud.

[@WesBarker]

Thanks man!

[@adampatrick1803]

I e followed you for awhile but didn't realize your stage presence was as it good as it is. Bad ass Sh&t right here!

[@ngcredible]

Thank you Wes Barker for reminding me that the sponge balls can be reinvented in 2024. I died.

[@coryvanvalin3142]

By the end of it.. it looked like you belonged in the strait jacket 🤣 Great show my dude!

[@JackHehe]

Absolutely love your stuff. So damn entertaining

[@MagicFergie]

Hilarious stuff as always Wes! Love it!

[@justinbanks2380]

10:36 you can be a magician too! 😂😁😊 Wes, never stop being you man!

[@RokasMagic]

When you brought up 'Lithuania' in the flag-from-your-pants gag, I was like, 'Don’t !!!!' I’m Lithuanian and I was so ready to be offended!

[@lucasshoultz7791]

It’s was fucking amazing! Congrats man!

[@justinbanks2380]

21:09 😂 your skill and presentation are amazing Wes!

[@CookinWithSquirrl]

Loved it!

[@FavelaFilms819]

Loved it!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@stephenstreck7388]

True entertainment.

[@hinkleaj1]

Hilarious!

[@Matttheriley]

Wait! That cube trick is awesome! Especially because I think the first cube you pull out was actually the one mixed by the audience member!

[@justinbanks2380]

I need more thumbs up for this!

[@lyghtkruz]

Torn balloon animal (swords) got me 😂. Great set, Wes! You need to do a tour in the States!

[@justinbanks2380]

13:14 impress AF Wes!!! I both want to try that just by myself as seems challenging to do and like you'd feel accomplished after being able to, and hope that I continue to talk myself out of attempting as I fear for my back 😅

[@Martin_Vail_Esq.]

Awesome show man.

[@micky6966]

My favorite was swallowing the balloon. 😁

[@neildundee]

The audience sounded totally engaged. Well done👍

[@garvin5191]

Brilliantly comedic! I hope to catch a live some some day! The flags in the pants inspires me... I'm really tempted to take your suggestion. Though with my luck I'll be in some silly accident, be knocked out and awake to medical staff pulling random flags out of my pants and writing up my "questionable mental state". 😳 Looking forward to more great laughs to come.

[@WesBarker]

Hahaha

[@Wizard_43]

I don’t have a favorite part, the whole show was hilarious and awesome!

[@themagicofseth]

Huckin filarious. Probably the best half hour I've seen in awhile

[@WesBarker]

Thank you! ❤️

[@_mrcrypt]

[@skateboardmemories]

😂😂😂

[@YerUnclePhil]
