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.

      I don’t get how he switched the cards out tho. He’s clearly holding only 1 card when he reveals the front. Even if he is holding them all together, I don’t get how the card that is passed up to him can get into his hands when his hands are still the entire time.

      @@TrevJ91 he’s not switching cards; he is adding each new card to the one before. At the end he is holding 4 cards. Magicians can easily present multiple cards as one card (look up techniques such as the double lift). Notice how at the end of the trick his hands move off-camera so he can dump the whole stack.

    🔹️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.

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.

  • @zaidelaymat797
    @zaidelaymat797 Před 4 lety +144

    Great performance as always Shin!
    I think I figured most of this one out!
    Explanation:
    Basically, there is someone helping him out probably sitting behind Shin or in front of him(I think it's easier from behind? I have no idea). As soon as Penn and Teller mention something they start writing it very quickly, they would have different colored pens to use for different colors ofc.
    I'm not 100% sure, but I think the cards that Shin's assistant uses have black back covers so that it's impossible to see the card when it's being moved on Shin's black shirt as long as it's not flipped around.
    The assistant might also be using a tool to move the card automatically to Shin's shirt/hand instead of just using their own hand, although they might be able to their hand too just as long as their hand itself doesn't show up. Shin might be using his jacket to hide that tool or to hide his assistant's hand.
    Shin then covers his shirt using his hand which is holding the original card with red color back so that nobody can see him pick up the card from his shirt using his fingers, and putting it right on top of the card that is already in his hand.
    When Shin puts the new card on top of the original card in his hand, everyone will be able to see the face of the new card and the back of the original card.
    0:58, 1:36 and 2:19 are the three moments where Shin picked up a new card, if you pay attention it's pretty easy to see that he's using his Pinky and Ring fingers to do something even though those fingers aren't holding the original card, which means he was using them to pick up the new card and put it on top of the original one.
    You can also hear a small sound in each of these 3 moments similar to the sound of drawing a card from a card deck, further proving that he's picking up a different card each time.
    This trick was most noticeable the second time at 1:36, especially the sound part.
    Because of how amazing Shin is, it's just so smooth and so impossible to notice him putting a new card on top of the original one.
    What really amazes me more though is how extremely fast the trick is done, I have no idea just how he does the trick literally a few seconds after they mention the word.
    As always, epic performance by the single best magician in the world!

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!

    Okay, here's my guess. I think I figured it out! If you don't want this potentially spoiled, don't read any further!
    I think his shirt is actually GREEN along with the background behind him. I think there was a person wearing a green glove between Shin Lim and the blank card. They then chroma-keyed his shirt and the person's glove to be BLACK. Basically, I think it's a minor special effects job. That way, we don't see the person writing on the card - it's blocked out by the chroma-key. Either way, Shin Lim is a boss!

    When the card changes you can see his fingers move so that the new card that the assistant puts in to his hand is secure. For example... at 1:37 is where you see Shin's Middle, Ring, and Pinky finger shifts so that the card can be held in place again.
    Someone also wrote that all the cards from the assistant are matte black. Blending with the background of Shin's bottom half. You can't even see the assistant's hand or cards in the video of course, but the hand movements right after Penn and Teller make their decision is what gives it away. Amazing trick Shin!

    @willo1345 Před 2 lety +8

    This one is cool. I think I figured this one out. Have someone sitting beneath the camera write on cards with a black back. Everytime Shin is given an answer from Pen, he repeats that answer multiple times to make sure the assistant knows what it is. After writing it, Shin moves his hand down near the bottom of the camera view as the card with the answer is passed to him. Because he is wearing a black shirt and there isn't much area between his hand and the bottom of the camera view, we can't see the card being passed. Shin, being an absolute master of sleight of hand, uses his pinky and ring finger to move the card over the previous without us seeing a thing, besides the slight movement of the fingers.
    The repeating of the answer and the bold around the R made me realize someone was writing this all down.
