    Wes Barker is a Canadian magician and comedian doing funny tricks, and telling great stories. Watch here for hilarious magic, stunts, and pranks. I am the funniest magician that is also a stand-up comic, or maybe I'm the comic who is 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 based out of Vancouver and 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'm a magician and I have successfully performed the last joey trick where he looks at the card. It was a party and I did it as a test to three girl to "see if they're sober enough" to be watching magic tricks. I expected them to see what I was doing and show them that they are not too drunk (one of them was driving and sober). However they noticed nothing which probably left me more amazed than them.

    Love the friends card trick. My son (11) once tried to do the “is this your card? Trick, but his version was asking with every card was my card until he got it right. He is super witty. The funniest part was I didn’t put it in the deck, so he went through the entire deck -1 and said “well I guess you did it wrong”. Then I pulled it out of my front pant pocket and he says “tada! See I made it appear in your pocket!”

But he had it from the beginning. As soon as u see him u can see him palming the apple . He flashes is when the camera cuts back to him actually. When his hand goes from the right to left. (his left to right)
