Just saw him on Penn and teller. Blew my mind. Too many people these days spend time trying to figure out tricks or think they are awesome because they know. Nobody appreciates the artform and skill involved. And the fact there is a new generation of magicians to carry on these traditions. Long live art and illusion!

[Skyheart]

Going from this to AGT, I can really tell that he's put alot of work into polishing and perfecting all of his acts. Its so amazing to watch.

[mode]

usually when I watch magicianS, I keep repeating their videos just to figure out how he is doing all his tricks

but you shin, I REPEATED THE VIDEO 10 TIMES JUST TO GET LOST AND MESMRISED OF HOW BEAUTIFUL THE MUSIC AND THE TRICKS ARE COMBINED IN A WONDERFUL HORMONY

thank you for such a thing. it is jus perfect

[leisuretime]

Shin, you are not just a magician, you are an artist an inspiration. When I was younger I used to do card tricks to friends (im 31 now), I wish I could have learned from you back then. I stopped doing tricks but I still love watching them. Good luck in your career

[YonyGutMakesMetalCovers]

I just love Dream Act... that is a fact. I love how the music and the act become a single thing, an amazing single thing. Shim, you are the our generation magician.

It's cool to see how much he has refined the trick between here and his agt performance

[JoseCarloss]

People saying his performance sucked, anyone watching this on repeat will figure it out. It's all about misdirection, i bet 99% of everyone who is talking shit about his performance can't even do 1/4 of it. So back off and just enjoy it. It was great.

Just enjoy being fooled, guys. Don't kill the illusion of magic, the excitement you get when just even for one second you thought he was truly a wizard. Yes, you may appear to be "smarter" to the public by pointing out the "tricks", but is the dull critical look in your eyes that much better than being mesmerized?

Personally, watching him is a real treat. An incredibly good artist with lots of hard earned talent and a bright future ahead.

3:40 is definetely my favourite part of the act :D The way that the audience reacts to the card going back & forth between hands it's just magical :)

[felipesimoes]

One of the best performances of card magic i ever saw!

[brandonpowers]

Dude i dont want to know, I want to be fooled and See these mysterious tricks, Thats the point of magicians, just shut up and enjoy the awesome tricks

[darkprose]

1:34 Vanishing the marker is one of the most beautifully choreographed moments I have ever seen in a magic act. And it seems this is the only performance where you turn the marker into the signed card (3:34). I absolutely loved that.

[laurenfletcher]

Omg Shin Lim you are amazing!! I love the part where the smoke com out of your mouth with the card. Absolutely phenomenal

[Lara-EL]

I love watching this guy perform! Shin Lim, you ROCK!!!

[naxwit]

Much respect, Shin. I must say the one on Fool us was much much cleaner. I can't wait until this one is released to see how you pulled the signed card shenanigans. You know what I'm talking about.

[KaliStarchaser]

You, and your magic are just a creative masterpiece. I nearly cried when I watched your performance on Penn and Teller, it was beautiful.

[normanbarrera]

I don't have enough "son of a...." watching him, he's AWESOME

[JonathanTheMagician]

This is the best performance I've ever seen in my entire life well done I loved it, i'm your fan now

[SimonMetin]

this was incredible. i am watching it back and am still in awe.

[smitty]

Awesome performance Shin LIm.  Very well thought out; very smooth moves throughout; well choreographed to the music. Great use of smoke. You can tell you put a LOT of thought and work into this. I've been playing with magic for 40 some yrs and I'm VERY impressed with your performance. Wish I had 1/10th your skill.  Cheerz from Ontario.
