This was definitley a different performance situation than I'm used to, but also very fun and challenging!

[Jamesucht]

If you ever feel useless, just think of Teller in a Zoom meeting.

[vincentsimbol]

He was palming 700 billion cards, that's how.

[freestyleskeer]

Shin comes off as such a genuine dude... like an everyday kinda guy who just happens to do the sickest sh!t ever seen on the planet. Then he's like "oh thanks guys!" so genuinely as if someone just said "Hey, I like your hair." Dude is absolutely out of this world. I just can't get enough of his stuff. Such an amazing talent.

[bzboii]

Penn and Teller didn't even stop and try to think about how it's done, they're just like "that's another fooler, isn't it"

[rdaysky]

It’s easy, he’s using the marker that he made invisible the first time he fooled them

An accomplice is off camera, below the frame, who has a set of 7 colored markers. After s/he writes on a card, it is passed up into Shin Lim's hand from below. The assistant is wearing a matte black glove, and the back side of the new card is also matte black. Notice how dark the background is at the bottom of the frame. Shin Lim then holds all the cards together and presents them as a single card.

Some one should have tould teller that he is on mute

[studiousultraman]

Omggg shim lim is an actual magic user pretending to be a card magician

Penn and Teller: 3rd times the charm, we got Shin this time!

Shin: Hold my 🍺 again!!

[Dougwondermagic]

I love Teller's reaction when he realizes you didn't just have the number but you had it written too. The subtle pinky movement I'm assuming was to throw him off? I love this. Levels.

Teller's mic wasn't working again. But wow what a great trick. I think I have an idea how it was done. And for a clue search for a lady magician's trick on Fool Us with the name of magical katrina. She did something similar although this was more elaborate.

[AngelicusImmortus]

It has to be Said, Shin your presentation, your style, the artistry, everything about you and your magic makes me & my family feel like all magic is real magic. My daughter sat in silence for three minutes after your first performance on Fool Us. That’s the longest she’s been awake and silent in her life - no exaggeration. My 70yr old mother watched it and just said “How? What did I just see?!” I’ve been with her when she’s watched tons of magic shows and she’s never reacted like that. My wife said “That makes you feel like you’re a child seeing a Rainbow for the very first time”
You are truly, truly, incredible.

[zacharyaminoff]

Shin you are the.. oh wait. I was gonna say you’re the shin lim of card magic.

[MarshallWilkinson]

What I love about Shin is he’s humble, he’s unbelievably dedicated to the craft and method and he continues to get better and better. Shin, you’re going to go down the MJ of Magic and as of late some serious mentalism.

[OfentseMwaseFilms]

I know how he does the trick, I’m here to expose him. The red marker is a paid actor.

[timdoyon]

I’m 60 and have watched and performed magic my entire life. Shin is the most fooling I’ve ever seen. I’m wracking my brain trying to think of how he pulled that off, but I honestly have no clue. I can watch Copperfield and know how he does nearly everything, but his shows are spectacular. Shin on the other hand can take a single card and blow my frigging mind! If you ever see this Shin, I think you are the best I’ve ever seen. You truly make magic seem possible. 🤯 ☮️♥️

[LargestClassifieds]

Ridiculously brilliant. My jaw dropped. So engaging to watch another amazing act from Shin.

*THE GIVE AWAYS*
🔹️The black shirt
🔹️The computer perspective advantage
🔹️The wide opening right side of his jacket
🔹️ 0:37 where he checks on his assistant (multiple times actually)

Someone is assisting him writing on the card that's more likely wearing a black covering glove over the hand that's behind him with their hand coming through the jacket and shirt writing on the card holding it near the opening of the jacket, which is why you'll see him pull the card closer. The person assisting him has all colors of markers and is pretty knowledgeable because he could spell lol. Magicians use black shirts for camo. It's a simple internet performance trick, using the advantage of 3rd person perspective. And having them to choose the color is what really help sell the trick.

0:55 you can see black over his jacket, cards are being written by someone and transferred from below the camera's view into his hands (back of the cards are black)
