I am really excited to share my Fism Act with everyone, I know you guys have been waiting for a while now.
Though winning Fism is a big accomplisment, it is also just the beginning for me. I've been behind the scenes for most of my magic career and its finally time for me be on stage performing. I have lots of things planned out right now and I cant wait to show you guys what I can do! Thank you everyone for the support and love, and please like and share my act, it will help me greatly!

Thanks again for the support (: I wanted to share this sooner but didnt get a good quality of my performance till last week！ Please help me share my act with the world
This is So AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats!! and thanks for creating this miracle routine !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here comes the Reddit Army!
Pretty fucking ridiculous. Great job man!!
All I can say is WOW. Much Deserved.
Pen & Teller?
holy shit... that was amazing!
Please do not destroy the world when you two wizard duel.
Haha...
of couse
Was not expecting you to be here o.o Welcomed surprise!
duel ?)))
If you slow this video down to 0.25 speed...
...it will take you 4 times longer to be as amazed as everyone else!
Lol good one!
Sounds like Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha.
I literally did this and only caught ONE TRICK in 25 minutes of watching lol. REALLY incredible.
@@skrounst Was it the same one that I caught? I got the one where he changed from a red/blue jacket to a black one near the end.
@@pawanalur773 No it was at 1:36 if you watch it in .25 speed you can see he took a card that wasnt the top card from the deck to make it look like it it changed from red to blue. That was the ONLY one I caught LOL... but now that you say it I can see its a tear away vest, I dunno how I didnt catch that before :) this was still incredible!
Too many modern magicians are no longer familiar with the methods used in Eric's performance. I often hear them at conventions say these methods are too "old school and obsolete." Well, gentlemen, you are watching the methods often employed by past masters, but updated so beautifully by a modern master who seems to fully understand that magic is NOT about the methods and technicalities. Magic is about the performance. This performance is more than a magician doing a simple trick. It is a beautiful story eloquently told without actually speaking a single word. Yes, there are parts of this routine that require some great skill, but those skills are invisible due to their being woven seamlessly into the story. Every action seems to have a reason and that makes this magical performance even more magical. This performance should go down in history as one of magic's best performances of all time. If magicians would study this as a brilliant lesson in developing their performances magic would soon, and finally, be viewed as one of the great performing arts instead of weird variety type of entertainment it is seen as today. This is an example of magical theater at its best. Well done, Eric. You have my highest respect.
Charles Tant you respect the guy for having conjured up a demon to do his bidding? really?!?
@@ishotbambismum6105 No, if Eric had conjured up a demon in order for him to perform this beautiful effect then it would not have taken him countless hours of practicing sleight of hand in front of a mirror and video. Demon powered black magick doesn't require those long hours of practice to create an illusion that looks like real magic. Eric would probably be the first to admit that it is all just a trick, a well-rehearsed series of moves and techniques designed to create the illusion of real magic being performed. It is purely entertainment based on purely natural means. There is nothing occult or satanic about this performance. This is a technically skilled individual with superior performance skills. If you believed it looked like a supernatural event instead of a sleight of hand performance then, you just paid this magician the highest of compliments on his brilliant performance. As a former professional magician (entertainer, not black magick), creator of magic props, and a magic consultant, yes, Eric did earn my highest respects with his performance. It was simply brilliant!
The only magicians who say "Eeeh old tricks" are party magicians, who rely on their tricks to woo people.
Real magicians don't just play with their cards, they put up a show.
"In magic ,today as always, the effect is what counts. The method or methods used are always purely secondary." - Dai Vernon
I just feel like this was almost perfect, but he could’ve utilized the gimmick table (not the black art part, the other part which I won’t expose the secret of) with somthing similar to his “impossible assembly video”
I've not seen anyone that good in 20yrs. Seriously, this guy has it
Like Dusty Rhodes used to say "You have IT, you couldn't get rid of IT if you tried, you couldn't sell IT, you couldn't throw IT away, you have IT!!!" (Paraphrasing) that is Eric Chien.
If you look closely you can spot him cheating by dedicating years of his life to perfecting his art.
nazlfrag lollll ❤️
@@ericchien4458 funny cause it's not true?
I knew there was a trick to it.
LOL!
That's a great comment!
Got reminded of this again. This is probably (if not definitely) the most impressive magic routine I have ever seen in my entire life. Honestly beyond impressive. I am completely thrown every single time I watch this. Just incredible
I adore this act, not just for the illusion, but the presentation, how he seems just as curious about how it works as we are, how he demonstrates the "rules" one at a time, and how each change appears to be as much a revelation for him as for us. Top notch showmanship, a well deserved win :)
If you slow down the speed of the video to 0.25, you will be confused in slow motion
Wolf Cloudy yeah slowing down the vid does nothing, shit just looks like it’s even more magical than it already is lol
I was able to see some of the sleight of hand, which actually made his performance even more amazing!
You can See some of the things, the only thing I don't understand is how the squares appeared and disappeared
Lmao
Are you kidding? slowing the video reveals just about everything he does. you can clearly see how he deals card underneath the top-card with his fingers underneath, how the outerlayer of his shirt is ripped down when it changes colour, and even see his slight of hand when he pushes cards down the table and everything. Only the appearance and disappearance of the squares is not visible. But thats only because its faster than the camera, if it was better you would simply see the squares, coins and cards disappear into cracks in the table. He certainly is very good but there is nothing new about his tricks and slight of hands, so if you have any idea what to look for everything is quite clearly visible if the video is slowed down.
People complaining about video editing is the best compliment you can get as a magician.
Not magician. This is real magic!
Go to 5:40. Watch in 1080 at .25 speed and tell me again there there was no blur and belnding added in post processing to conceal the rectangular ribbons as they retracted into their slots. If you watch at other critical moments you will see the same thing.
That being said, to perform this live is a feat. Eric is a true master. Unfortunately UA-cam has made it orders of magnitude more difficult to be perfect. I'm not sure how I feel about post processing video that was taken of a live performance. Why seek mastery and perfection if you can just conceal defects with video post processing?
That's not necessarily done in post, video compression will leave artifacts when things disappear so suddenly from frame to frame.
@@JobvanderZwan xD nice one
@@jameslederer7613 My comment is for those who think the trick works with video editing.
I totally agree that their is post processing, but: This trick works perfectly live, and with naked eyes video editing doesn't make any differences. But their are people who watch that frame for frame to figure out the secrets and for those is the post processing. So it's just to hide the secrets for people who watch it frame for frame, but it does not work with video editing, how some people believe.
Edit: Sorry if there are spelling mistakes, I am Austrian.
This is what Penn and Teller (well, Penn in particular, since Teller doesn't say much 🤣) would call a complete performance. The routine builds layer by layer, telling a story, and then those layers are broken down until at the end you're back where you started. Amazing.
If someone told me that this was real magic I wouldn’t be surprised. Beautiful.
Pretty easy to see what he does. He lifts the ribbon and summons the demon Belial to transmute the cards into coins and back. He simply presents his offering backstage and the objects turn back to normal. He'll only be able to do this trick a limited number of times before he runs out of conjurings.
Shhh! Now everyone will want to summon it!
Hahaaghahahahahah
Velcro and bags baby !!!! Velcro and bags, its the new smoke and mirrors
fffrankthetankkk
It aint no velcro and bags !
@@jackrulz08 you obviously didn't understand his comment.
Amazing!
Mehr als das
Hi Alex
Hi Alex kann leider nicht zu deinen "Konzerten "
Hat es dich verblüfft ??? Alexander Straub
Hi Alex!
wow this is so beautifully and MAGICALLY done, just the storytelling and skill alone. so amazing. i see it as a kid who finds a magic box, learns what it can do, then tries to turn it into profit, and because of this *sin* it is taken away from him. really amazing and hope to see more from you. thanks for this gift. :)
hell if you slow it down to 1 frame per you will still be stumped
porter robinson is bae a demon fooling people is not a gift but very much a curse
why is making a profit a sin?
@@itzbebop cause religion. nuts everywere mate.
knowing EXACTLY how every trick was performed (an Italian magician explained them all) I get the more dumbstruck from your confidence and ease in performing them and your constant control of the black cards and misdirections. This , sir , was art in his most magical form.
Wow.. I've been a magician about 6-7 years now and that may be the closest thing to real magic that I've ever seen. Brilliant performance.
200 years ago this kind would’ve been hanged for sorcery lol.
I said the same shit😂
burned at the stake or dunked in water.
I am about to burn him for sorcery too
Its sorcery..lol
Lol I thought this to. But he could just vanish himself so....
At first I thought that the same thing could only be done with a camera and fake viewers. But in the end I realized that it was done in front of a lot of real people. Incredible. Bravo and long life to the artist!!
It's pretty obvious how he does it. Invisibility cloak with a house-elf underneath.
lmao
how about magic? xD
You are actually on to something.
sorry to cramp ur style..
but house elfs actually dont need a cloak to become invisible.
What a beautiful act! I'm so proud of you, Eric!
I can hear the sound of millions more kids realising that magic is cool
Der Ryan mal wieder;)
As Ryan said "no matter how hard you try, there is always an asian who takes it to the next level."
Ryan, your "Ultimate Matrix" is beautiful
Lol saw your Penn and teller act. I don't think I'll ever forget you, or atleast always remember you through out my life when someone mentions coin magic
Everyone is like "yeah I know how this is done" until he picks up the bit of the card.
nope i dunno
Ho pianto... Troppo bello, grazie Eric!
I can't remember the last time I felt this pleased with a Magic act. Truly impressive!
I use sleight of hand to demonstrate magic, you use magic to demonstrate sleight of hand.. that was one of the best acts I've seen man
I totally agree
FYI it's sleight of hand, not slight
@@nicholasbrown4109 sorry my bad english is my second language
@@roymizrachi7360 tbh most first language speakers don't know that.
@@clubafterlife Anyone who paid attention while becoming an adult knows that. Slight vs sleight is a huge difference.
Honestly, my favorite part of his act is his style.
Many big name magicians over the decades have been all about pizzaz and panache… Big effects, wide, grand gestures and a very enormous stage personality.
Eric reins it all in and gives you the feeling that he’s in the audience with you, experiencing all this wonder instead of standing on a stage performing for you.
I think he and Sacred Riana are refreshing additions to magic as they take the act in a brand new direction that makes us feel like we are seeing it for the first time again.
this routine is the definition of magic. not illusion. because it makes me feel like I'm in a world with something beyond my understanding. which makes me feel wonderful. THAT is magic.
Oh my god. I seriously haven't enjoyed a magic act like this in so long. Great job eric!
I love how crazy the crowds went like they were seeing a trailer at Comic-con. This is why I love the magic community, because we love what we do and go crazy for the people who are exceptional at it. This was amazing dude, well done.
Ive watch this performance a thousand times and its still not enough
If you blink you will miss the best part
The closer you look the less you see
Eric chien Thank you so Much for inspiring me
play it on 0.25 speed
easy eric abi
I discovered this Video a Moment ago . I got Goosebumps all over me and a big big Smile in my Face . Last time i got such a feeling around my Heart was the Time when my Son was born . Thank you so much . Dare to Dream . Keep going . I want more . Magic .
Love seeing this~! You're bringing close up Magic to a New Level~! Go Eric Go...From another Eric who dabbles in magic.
Thats Little magic bro of y Want know where is the Blunder they Write me
I’ve seen Eric’s act live three times. Twice in FISM Korea and once in TAA Hong Kong. I can finally watch this on repeat. Thank you for such a beautiful act, Eric!
I don’t want to pick favorites. Shin lim is a wonderful magician. Eric and shin brought back that aww in magic the world hasn’t felt in a long time. Both have very fresh ideas That magic desperately needed. Both routines on tv were so wonderful the time and dedication really pays off. When eric did the coin into a card and the disappearing coin I felt that aww in magic I haven’t felt in a really long. Keep up the great work.
I love how my mind is trying to figure out what is going on but I am just enjoying these videos so much that I never wanna truly know how they are done
I love how he looks genuinely surprised by his own magic 😃 this was fantastic!
This is just one of the best acts I ever seen. Thanks Eric for share with the world. Thanks for your magic.
the best magic tricks are usually the most simple ones but just because its simple, it doesnt mean it is easy.
that was beautiful to watch.
The response from the audience makes it even better. Especially that last "WOAAAAAAHH!"
Congratulations, Eric. That was fully deserved.
How all people complaining about "Taiwan, not China" and try to figure out how it's done. That's not was magic is about. It's about being amazed and amaze other people by showing your talent and the thing you achieved by working hard on it. And this was an amazing *live* performance. Very well done. It fascinates me in so many ways.
Every time I watch this, I see more and more of the story being told. Amazing performance 👏👏👏
No matter how many times I watch this I’m always amazed
his sleight of hand is so calm and composed with the positioning as well as very skillfully demonstrated, sharing these moments with everyone around makes it so interesting Tried watching in 0.25 speed and the frames changed instantaneously, see color change at 2:19 to 2:31
Even if you know every Trick! Out of this Performance... It's even then... F*cking AMAZING! You did it so clean! Even if i go on slowmo, and watch every Problem zone of them, you won't Find any! It's Art to have so much Perfection, and this on Hard Tricks like this! I am happy, to life in Times like this, where people Like you Shows how Amazing magic can be! So, thank you for this Master Piece!
Soooooooo many sick effects jammed into one act.
Amazing performance, Mr. Chien! 🤩
This is So AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats!! and thanks for creating this miracle routine !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eric Chien
This STILL mesmerizes me after all these months! WOW!!!!!!
This is definitely one of my all-time favourites, the creativity and skill involved are just incredible.
I know so much about magic and the technics, that i almost forgot what its like to be completely clouless and amazed....holy moly what an perfect act....!!!!
i know right!
Good luck to your Asia's Got Talent journey. Hope you become a winner. from Philippines
I am a magician in Korea.
Congratulations on the FISM Grand Prix.
I think the technique is too neat.
You deserve a standing ovation!!!
That ending! Loved the performance
this is actually the best magic trick that exists, period.
Update: just got done watching for the first time and holy balls! Everything from the sleights, to the visuals, the music, the story, EVERYTHING was un-freaking-believable! Definitely deserved that award and more!
It no skill, just video editing.
@@rasulpl I think you should go for a CT scan. It seems like you have some problem with your cerebrum.
Wish for your fast recovery.
God bless!
@@thiscommetwastyped8695 0:34, go frame by frame with , and . on the keyboard.
@@rasulpl You do know this is a live act right?
@@@leeresglas5115 you don't know that. The ending doesn't fit (camera, quality), the crowd noises can be added to the thing to be more believable. This "magic" has been already covered here
ua-cam.com/video/_dSp_f0f9gE/v-deo.html&
One of the GOAT seriously how could he have been behind the scenes eve,,,wow mind blown
The greatest sleigh of hands Master I've ever seen. Hats off to you
I saw you perform on America's Got Talent and I just wanted to stop by your personal UA-cam page to tell you that you're amazing. I have seen many perform tricks before , but you are the absolute first magician who brought me to tears with your act. It surprised me, the reaction I got from watching you. You are truly special and don't you let anyone tell you that you aren't.
That ending gives me chills every single time
One of the most cleverly designed a d brilliantly executed routines I’ve ever seen. Maybe THE best
The most amazing sleight of hand magic I've ever seen! It just keeps on getting crazier and crazier. Pure brilliance!
That is officially the most amazing magic act I've ever seen.
Saw your Fism Act Last July,and it was a privelage to witness it live! Thanks for sharing your magic to the world!
The amazing of the performance is that it relies not on the usual courtains or hiding devices. Everything seems changing under your eyes. Fourth time I watch it and only for the enjoyment. Well done Eric.
Even when I watch how magic tricks are done
I'm still always amazed at seeing the trick done again
This is incredible to see well done and thank you 👍
So good to see Your fellow magicians supporting you in the comments section. You deserve it, though, because this was pure magic. Keep it up!
After many viewings, I can see a few things, but most of it is so clean that I have no idea how it was done. Beautifully crafted and choreographed. This was a joy to watch.
I think I have to be hallucinating... That was incredible, and I'm a HUGE Shin Lim fan and didn't think I could be impressed anymore... Absolutely AMAZING Eric... You have a gift...
You are the TRUE meaning of magic .... MAGIC ... MAGIC MAGIC ... you are the best i've ever seen and you deserve to win AGT with no questions. ... please keep up the good work !
Eric Chien's new magic act has made all magicians to lose sleep.
Who's here after Asia's got talent.
Ahahahahah ME 😂😂😂
That means ur the 2nd
@@lukeinfimate9971 hhaahaha..u think so?
Wth I saw him on Americas got talent a few days ago. Guess he is going for the world 😂
Exactly
I watched this before already and just re-watched it again because Digg sent me here. This routine is utterly beautiful. It's like "S" Tier level, like it would've been a Copperfiled trick if he had a chance to own the rights to it. I'd love to see the routines of all the winners of FISM, but I have a feeling that this routine is going to be one of the top ones.
Eric Chien, you definitely are going to remembered as on the of the greatest for creating and performing this.
As I watch this incredible performance my natural curiosity is screaming to know how he pulled off those fantastic tricks. Frankly it would be insulting to attempt to explain what I have seen only moments earlier when Eric has spent years perfecting these wonderful illusions. I salute you Sir, masterful.
You used common sleights to create a true masterpiece. The mind that created this routine and the hands that performed each sleight flawlessly deserve the reward.
du hund
Ur a wizard Harry! ... I mean, Eric
just MAGNIFICENT hands down!!!
Consider my mind blown.
Absolutely fantastic work! Stunning, simply stunning!
I don't usually watch magic tricks or performance but this... is AMAZING! It seems like magic exist in real life! Good job Eric, thanks for sharing this!
FROM ITALY, THANKS!
I watched your ribbon act many times, absolutely amazing performance. The whole idea of one side of the table being able to change/copy into the other side (Red to blue, then blue into coins) Would love to see more, and definitely wished I could've seen it live in person. I think if you started touring and doing your magic performances around the world, it'd be a huge success for sure. The views and comments is all the proof you need. You could charge whatever you want, I'd pay it to see it at a big venue.
My favorite magical performance by Eric Chien.
Just INCREDIBLE, bravo!!!!!
This was incredible everyone needs to see this
The level of magicians is increasing very fast. Congrats for this piece of art!
Mr. Eric Chien, that was really adorable! You've gained a new fan. thank you for this great performance.
Man, you're amazing!!!! I've watched your performance on Asia's Got Talent and America's Got Talent. Both incredible!! And this particular one is maybe one of the most powerful acts I've seen in magic so far and definitely one of my favourites. Keep up the great work!
Is anyone here for his AGT debut and knew him before it? 😂
Yes, I knew him before because he's the winner of another AGT (Asia's Got Talent) earlier year.
Nick Nguyen I knew him before America’s Got Talent. I saw and voted for him for Asia’s Got Talent and so happy he won. Hope he wins America’s Got Talent too!
I was looking for you my buddy 😂
This is by far the best magic routine I have ever seen!!! Too good!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩👍✌️
Too FAKE and you are a simple minded fool...
@@imtheman3039 you the type of guy to say the ouija board is moving on it's own and call everything fake lmfao. fuck outta here
Wow...what a superb close up performance makes me love sleight of hand even more.
Watched it again after 3 years.
Still amazing.
Have seen several of your following acts.
All great.
This ribbon magic is still my favorite.
I love how you are not doing any of the magic.
The ribbon is doing it all.
Then some God of Magic takes it all away at the end.
Still trying to figure out how you change your vest twice.
It seems like it should be so simple, yet the change is immediate and seamless.
Cannot see it done.
Amazing.
In this world of stop and replay, to have it work even on video is impossible to comprehend.
You are the savant of Magic.
0:34 clicking back and forth between frames. Frame 1: No rectangles. Frame 2: Rectangles
I've spent the last half hour yelling at my computer to "Zoom in! Enhance!" and I still got nothin'.
He threw the rectangle and the two rectangles light up
I'm not a magician but I think I figured out 90% of it
好厲害喔，台灣之光，謝謝你帶來那麼👍的表演
That is simply incredible.. I have no idea how that's possible
This is the 1st time ive ever seen this. This is also the greatest routine i have ever seen in my life. This is unbelievable. Well deserved win. 🏆
This is beautiful, just like Shin Lim, your the next super star!
Wunderbarer Zauberkünstler.... der Beste!!!!!
Amazing!!! He didn´t just did the impossible, he brings a Story to it and let it become wonderful art.
the most amazing performance I've ever seen
Love U man!!!!!! YOUR SKILL IS MASTERFUL!
Eric big fan of your magic keep it up...!!!
Damn it... I spent a few seconds trying to wipe your profile pic off my screen because I thought it was a hair... 😶
Amazing performance! Thank you.
I came after AGT & this is incredibly amazing .❤️❤️
