Shin never claims it is magic, he always have maintained that is sleight of hands and skills to entertain the audience. His routine is like a beautiful dance. It is just a joy to watch him perform.
drumjosh1987 yep exactly, in all shows I‘ve seen he is used that way. 1 minute of research tells you that this guy is very famous and very very good at what he does
Shin Lim is simply the best. Beautifully elegantly presented. He's extremely gifted. The amount of practice taken to do the performance. Shows how dedicated he is to be the best.
Well i Know its card and stuff, but this is by far the best magic act I have ever seen, freaking impressive. The music, the swag, the trick and the reaction. It is truly mindblowing, from a spectator perspective and a sceptical, you want to figure out the trick knowing there is one but you also want to believe it. Impressive, just for this one he deserved the golden buzzer and to win the competition.
Shin I have followed you for a long time and Im SO DAMN HAPPY you are sharing with the world your incredible talent !You are by FAR the greatest , most charismatic and smooth close up magician alive today You are the 21st century Cardini...Im so happy for you
I love this guy, he's turned close up magic into a performance art form, and you can tell from his act that he comes from a musical background, because there is something musical about how he performs magic. I really hope he does his trick with smoke and cards emerging from his mouth, the first one he used to fool Penn and Teller.
52 Shades of Red by Shin Lim. One of the hardest gimmicks to perform and even harder with someone that close. A true master of sleight of hand even after his accident.
amazing performance!it don't matter if we know how its done, he performs it wonderfully and its so entertaining. i watched his performances dozens of times and every time i am amazed.
For those who dont know Shin Lim before AGT, this act he performed is part of his actual act called “Fifty Shades of Red”. Look up the full performance. Its mind blowing
Yoshishiro Yugimori I was certain you knew. Just typed 50. I figured I'd politely point it out before the comment section nazi's called you names and threatened you over a typo lol. Yes. The act was really altered for AGT. It's still insane though! Truly looks like "real" magic.
Even though I know how he does these tricks, it does not diminish the fact that they are still very impressive. I could not pull these moves off in a million years
What the fuckERY!!! Went to 0.25x speed thinking I can see how the cards disappeared but literally just watched the cards disappear but in slow motion. what THE HELL.
After many views, I understand every moves, except how does he to vanish the queen of hearts in the right hand at the end of the trick. Shin is amazing.
It's amazing how the use of *two simple tricks* in a well trained performance can make a big crowd scream in ecstasy. Perfect illusion and absolutely no mistakes!
he is doing his 52 shades trick in different parts cuz he only has 5min to perform so he is breaking them all down and he is so good the judges didnt have to even say u move to the next one they already know he gonna win this
That's the beautiful thing about Shin Lim's magic. Even in the cases that you can tell what he did or how he did it, he still does it so damn cleanly and smoothly that it amazes you anyhow.
i dont get something at 1:49 and 1:50 his hands are wrapped around the ace of hearts differently to when we get a new angle at 1:51 but the music is still not interrupted? who else was in on his act, please someone enlighten me.
Michael Kensington rigged af 🙄.. guess he needs sing while doing his act coz being one of the best close up magicians in the world isn't good enough (or he should tell his thumbs story)
I mean tbh there is no reason to give him a golden buzzer, he is good enough to get to the end on raw talent alone. this way they can get more performances out of him, there was no way he didnt make it to the live show.
Haven’t seen the live broadcast, so I don’t know what order the contestants performed in, but perhaps it was already used up in a previous act? Olivia Munn herself has admitted while judging another performance that she wanted to have another golden buzzer.
THE BIGGEST WOW FACTOR EVER! LIKE I SAID? IF SHIN DON'T WIN THIS SHOW? THEN THAT'S JUST LUDICROUS! HE TOTALLY HAD ME IN SHOCK THROUGHOUT HIS ENTIRE PERFORMANCE! I can't believe he's only 26 years old!! OMG! It takes years & years & years for anyone to be this UNBELIEVABLE! Simon's reaction was not has blown away has the other judges. Either he's in shock? Or he has a favorite already in mind! These performances by Shin? No doubt about it? Shin is going to land up BIG on somewhere in this world! He's going places like "Howie said!. I'm literally IN AWE WITH SHIN! His wife is so lucky! xo
THe sob story part... that's just an opinion and I refuse to jump on the band wagon of most people. unless you know for a FACT and it comes out of SImon's mouth, you can't know for sure.
I hope he does win. I fear however, like has happened before repeatedly, some sob story BS wannabe musician who wrong a halfass song about a shelter-adopted dog dying of tongue psoriasis will get the sympathy buzzer. We'll see.
If it's interests you he also uses a song called 'Time' by Hans Zimmer in another of his performances you can find on UA-cam. For the record, he Oblivion in another performance, and from that it got added to my Spotify list :)
They really should give him more time to perform. His full routines are leeps and bonds better then this. This routine is amazing, but his story telling with 5 to 10 mins is amazing. This guy has done it all as far as magic, I'm honestly shocked he has his own youtube channel and not a tv show. If criss angel and David blaine can do it, this guy as alot More talent
Hes playing it smart. That reaction from a handful of gimmick manipulations, was sufficient to get him to the next round. Thats not even his best stuff and hed be foolish to empty his bag of tricks on the second round.
Don't worry about Shin. He won a million dollar prize when he won the FISM of close up magic. It's a competition for magicians that runs every three years. Think of it as the magician olympics.
Since AGT performance is limited to 5 min, based on his 52 shades show, this trick you see here is literally his beginning act, which means mind will be blown by the time he reach the finals if you guys have not seen his 52 shades before cause Shin Lim act is always from the weakest building up to the strongest. If you have seen his 52 shades then I guess it won't be as exciting but he does change up each of his act a bit though.
No doubt, shin is simply the best but the background music is so soothing and mesmerising...anyone knows the name of that song (background song while performance?
He could not have chosen a better piece of music from the film Oblivion with Tom Cruise .The reason he did not a golden buzzer is they want to watch him more.The master of sleight of hand .
This sort of unfair for upcoming magicians that want to perform at AGT where they compete with a magic champ to demonstrate their skills. In fact I feel sorry for all the close up magicians that will come to AGT next season, since judges and backroom staff will have seen one of the highest level of magic possible today at the hands of Shin Lim.
I would like to watch first hand or learn about those tricks, I mean his sleeves are rolled up, so where do the cards go? And how about the card the cuckoo was covering with her hand, its interesting and I would like to see it
i dont know whats more amazing shin lims performence or that his girlfriend can teleport.
haha omg , cracked me up
good one brother, good 1
LOL !!!
LMAO
whahaha good one!
Watched this dude so many times and still floored every time. He’s bloody unbelievable.
Shin never claims it is magic, he always have maintained that is sleight of hands and skills to entertain the audience. His routine is like a beautiful dance. It is just a joy to watch him perform.
the only reason i can justify him not getting the golden buzzer at this point is they know hes getting through without it
Sasuke Nightstar that and they know he’ll bring views to the show
Sasuke Nightstar Also, he was like the 2nd act. Maybe Olivia didn't want to use it immediately, in case something else came along.

Thank you so much for uploading full audition with judges comments... Love your channel....
❤❤❤❤
Shin I have followed you for a long time and Im SO DAMN HAPPY you are sharing with the world your incredible talent !You are by FAR the greatest , most charismatic and smooth close up magician alive today You are the 21st century Cardini...Im so happy for you
Soo freaking slick, probably don't realize how hard this is. play it again and again and still smooth. Perfection achieved.
The only really hard part about it, is carrying the balls it takes to pull something like that, right in front of someone.
This performance honestly has the best music!
The kissing at the end was more magical to me.
Shin better win...
Zyclon X He made it
He has the potential though
and he DID win.
I love this guy, he's turned close up magic into a performance art form, and you can tell from his act that he comes from a musical background, because there is something musical about how he performs magic. I really hope he does his trick with smoke and cards emerging from his mouth, the first one he used to fool Penn and Teller.
So looking forward to see his next performance ! Shin Lim is so talented and the training must have been so hard ! Woow
Best of shin lim's performance on AGT.
Shin Lim is like "Yea, thank you, whatever, don't need your jugdement... this is child's play for me, I've done much bigger shows around the world" =P
AGT is pretty big as far as mainstream audience is concerned. You can tell he's very nervous and shaking.
Ikr lol
All the other show are like college sport, prestige, definitely. But AGT is like the pro sport, big money.
Incredible act, I love Shin Lim!
52 Shades of Red by Shin Lim. One of the hardest gimmicks to perform and even harder with someone that close. A true master of sleight of hand even after his accident.
What accident?
No golden buzzer? No problem. Shin wins AGT 2018
He didn't need the golden buzzer to prove how good he is!!
I’m glad he didn’t get it, we got to see more of his performances
amazing performance!it don't matter if we know how its done, he performs it wonderfully and its so entertaining. i watched his performances dozens of times and every time i am amazed.
He did the trick using magnetic cards
Hope Shin wins. Mind blowing routine performed by a unique and special talent
Song:M83 - Oblivion (feat. Susanne Sundfør)
Awesome, thank you.
@@Supernaught00 thats what I was looking for here :) thanks
Thanks man,
Yes! Thanks man!
For those who dont know Shin Lim before AGT, this act he performed is part of his actual act called “Fifty Shades of Red”. Look up the full performance. Its mind blowing
Yoshishiro Yugimori
52
John Rotuno Sorry I know. Too bad he had to shorten it. If he did more, Simon would faint.
Yoshishiro Yugimori
I was certain you knew. Just typed 50. I figured I'd politely point it out before the comment section nazi's called you names and threatened you over a typo lol.
Yes. The act was really altered for AGT. It's still insane though! Truly looks like "real" magic.
John Rotuno Thanks. Finally someone who understands.
Yoshishiro Yugimori
Hahaha. My pleasure, friend.
He must win in this edition. Awesome👍👍
You can see a Pure Magic! No doubt, no curtain just a hands. Awesome!
I love the songs that he have when he performs
Speaking if which, what songs did he use?
@@haydensmith859 according to another comment, it's Oblivion by M83. In case you're still interested haha
shin lim is unique 1 of my favorite macians ever
Even KNOWING how this works and watching at 0.25 speed it's hard to see. His movements are flawless. Best sleight of hand ever, seriously, no contest.
80 keer gekeken maar nog steeds geen idee hoe hij het doet, absolute topklasse wat hij doet
3:07 most mind blowing i ever see 😱
Dimenit 1:52 bg kartu terbang dari kiri gokil
Even though I know how he does these tricks, it does not diminish the fact that they are still very impressive. I could not pull these moves off in a million years
What the fuckERY!!! Went to 0.25x speed thinking I can see how the cards disappeared but literally just watched the cards disappear but in slow motion. what THE HELL.
HAHAHAHA! That second vanish was a brain burner, huh?
If Bruce Lee were a card magician, that is exactly how it would look. Shin Lim is a very gifted performer.
great comparison and so true! shin is the bruce lee of card magic.
love Mel B's reactions,, truly epic
At the start
Shin: Make sure u dont move
She: instantly moves
After many views, I understand every moves, except how does he to vanish the queen of hearts in the right hand at the end of the trick. Shin is amazing.
It's amazing how the use of *two simple tricks* in a well trained performance can make a big crowd scream in ecstasy.
Perfect illusion and absolutely no mistakes!
WOW !!! THE BEST OF THE BEST 👍😎
"Make sure you don't move it ok?" /goes and moves hand
he is doing his 52 shades trick in different parts cuz he only has 5min to perform so he is breaking them all down and he is so good the judges didnt have to even say u move to the next one they already know he gonna win this
shin lim, please perform in MANILA :-) Well deserved win!!!!!
"I feel really good."
In other words, "They have no clue what just happened."
That second vanish was bad... ass. It didnt fool me, but knowing how he did it, made it that much more spectacular.
That's the beautiful thing about Shin Lim's magic. Even in the cases that you can tell what he did or how he did it, he still does it so damn cleanly and smoothly that it amazes you anyhow.
Shin even today you amaze me let alone today.
I don't know how he did it. But damn. I am stun. 4 aces in 1 hand when 1 ace is dealt. Damn pure magic.
He is gorgeous!
yes. Handsome man
Olivia wants him so much....the way she looks xD
i dont get something at 1:49 and 1:50 his hands are wrapped around the ace of hearts differently to when we get a new angle at 1:51 but the music is still not interrupted? who else was in on his act, please someone enlighten me.
No golden buzzer ??
Michael Kensington rigged af 🙄.. guess he needs sing while doing his act coz being one of the best close up magicians in the world isn't good enough (or he should tell his thumbs story)
They only give golden buzzers to singers and handicaps or children
I mean tbh there is no reason to give him a golden buzzer, he is good enough to get to the end on raw talent alone. this way they can get more performances out of him, there was no way he didnt make it to the live show.
Haven’t seen the live broadcast, so I don’t know what order the contestants performed in, but perhaps it was already used up in a previous act?
Olivia Munn herself has admitted while judging another performance that she wanted to have another golden buzzer.
maybe they were so mesmerized they forgot to push it
THE BIGGEST WOW FACTOR EVER! LIKE I SAID? IF SHIN DON'T WIN THIS SHOW? THEN THAT'S JUST LUDICROUS!
HE TOTALLY HAD ME IN SHOCK THROUGHOUT HIS ENTIRE PERFORMANCE! I can't believe he's only 26 years old!!
OMG! It takes years & years & years for anyone to be this UNBELIEVABLE! Simon's reaction was not has blown away has the other judges. Either he's in shock? Or he has a favorite already in mind! These performances by Shin? No doubt about it?
Shin is going to land up BIG on somewhere in this world! He's going places like "Howie said!.
I'm literally IN AWE WITH SHIN! His wife is so lucky! xo
He's already big, the FISM world champion that fool Penn & Teller twice, he is something else.
When is shin lim next act?? I can’t wait to see him!!!
何度見ても分からん…………
凄すぎる。脱帽レベル。
流石、世界一のカードマジシャン。
This was the act that won him the show
The 2 parts that blow my mind the most are the appearance of the last K and Q and the disappearance of the red Kings.
He's gonna win...
saijinkai. He deserves to but he won't. He doesn't have a sob story and you need one to win.
THe sob story part... that's just an opinion and I refuse to jump on the band wagon of most people. unless you know for a FACT and it comes out of SImon's mouth, you can't know for sure.
I hope he does win. I fear however, like has happened before repeatedly, some sob story BS wannabe musician who wrong a halfass song about a shelter-adopted dog dying of tongue psoriasis will get the sympathy buzzer. We'll see.
Smytty The Great but he won
Does anyone know the name of the artist and the song in the background? thank you
It's a soundtrack from the movie oblivion with the same title by M83.
Shin Lim is the only one at this show, where the judges don't need to vote. Haha!
I never like Card Magic but i will change my mind...proud of you Shin Lim ..
Magic level: ASIAN
Love his choice of music. Anyone know the name of the song or artist performing it?
Cathal Lucas OBLIVION M83
TM Martin thanks
If it's interests you he also uses a song called 'Time' by Hans Zimmer in another of his performances you can find on UA-cam. For the record, he Oblivion in another performance, and from that it got added to my Spotify list :)
Thank you Calens001! I love the dramatic, cinematic music he selects! Really adds to the performance!
Beautiful...... Well done.
They really should give him more time to perform. His full routines are leeps and bonds better then this. This routine is amazing, but his story telling with 5 to 10 mins is amazing.
This guy has done it all as far as magic, I'm honestly shocked he has his own youtube channel and not a tv show. If criss angel and David blaine can do it, this guy as alot More talent
I think his performance got cut, as in his latest Vlog he mentioned that.
Liips and baonds *
Hes playing it smart. That reaction from a handful of gimmick manipulations, was sufficient to get him to the next round. Thats not even his best stuff and hed be foolish to empty his bag of tricks on the second round.
This guy is really magic!
Don't worry about Shin. He won a million dollar prize when he won the FISM of close up magic. It's a competition for magicians that runs every three years. Think of it as the magician olympics.
He broke the Golden rule. You are not allowed to use magic outside of Hogwarts.
Amazing to see the video doesn't look like a potato. Great job.
Truly legend
Since AGT performance is limited to 5 min, based on his 52 shades show, this trick you see here is literally his beginning act, which means mind will be blown by the time he reach the finals if you guys have not seen his 52 shades before cause Shin Lim act is always from the weakest building up to the strongest. If you have seen his 52 shades then I guess it won't be as exciting but he does change up each of his act a bit though.
Shin lim i love u 😔
the best reaction is from mel b when the card is gone in the hands of shin lim. and howie too.
What is the song in the background? Can anyone tell?
can someone tell me what the backing track is? neat song!!..:)
straordinarioooo
They look good together.
If you playback at very low speed @1:52 you can see a card flying from the left of the tabpe to his left hand. Very margic.
No doubt, shin is simply the best but the background music is so soothing and mesmerising...anyone knows the name of that song (background song while performance?
He could not have chosen a better piece of music from the film Oblivion with Tom Cruise .The reason he did not a golden buzzer is they want to watch him more.The master of sleight of hand .
He finally gets the break he deserves.
what is the name of the artist who is with shin lim please tell
Just put 0.25s speed. Try, you still cant see his moves. Holy crap shin, well deserved the 1 million dollar and the vegas show!
Your a wizard Shin
"It's a tough act" in other words, takes a lot of Mana and he needs to make sure it's full first. 😂
I bought this routine from him!!!
Great performance ... Very fast fingers, no time to see what happens. Need a high speed camera to see what happens?
This sort of unfair for upcoming magicians that want to perform at AGT where they compete with a magic champ to demonstrate their skills. In fact I feel sorry for all the close up magicians that will come to AGT next season, since judges and backroom staff will have seen one of the highest level of magic possible today at the hands of Shin Lim.
what a champion Shin Lim
Its brutal magic!!!
Can tell me that instument back song
He is so insane. This guy is definitely on par with goku in his ultra instinct mode lmao
what was the name of music?
What's that song in background
A very good sligth of a hand
I would like to watch first hand or learn about those tricks, I mean his sleeves are rolled up, so where do the cards go? And how about the card the cuckoo was covering with her hand, its interesting and I would like to see it
whats the name of the Song?
Olivia she's so beautiful!!!!!!
This guy is f**king amazing!
how did he not get the golden buzzer wtf
Never give that man your wallet 😂
i watched that 20 times at least
"Bloody hell, Shin" - same, Simon...same
Shin Win
