WES THEME SONG: open.spotify.com/album/7qpQ0k... (By Eric Vanier)
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! - Zábava
Every-time I see a Wes Barker notification my hearts melts and I immediately click the video and watch it with pure delightful glee and unabiding attention

Yes but, pumpkin spiced latte on the ground. Lol wes is great
You should do the same with Chris' videos to win the belt and 5k$ 😂
Don't let Chris find out, he's already onto you guys never watching his puzzle videos. Especially after the last challenge.
Perdu une bet Éric? :P
“That was as good as any NSync Song”
Under appreciated comedy
Damn that Fry and Laurie trick was such a cool way to present it
David Blaine did that one for Harrison Ford.
Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry were such a great duo. So fun to watch them together.
Definitely!
The show, "The Mentalist" had a lot of magic tricks throughout the series.
"As good as any NSYNC song."
Great ambiguous compliment. I may have to borrow that.
😆 👍🏻👍🏻
I don't know how I've never seen a Bit of Fry and Laurie on Wogan before. Not sure who would be my favourite of that bunch. RIP Terry
I just started watching the final season of Vikings and there are two magic tricks in episode 2. Ivar performs both of them for a young boy who speaks a different language. So the context is, they cannot really communicate, but he breaks the ice by performing magic, which I find awesome.
Awesomeness. I’ll check it out. Thanks!
The trick with Stephen Fry & Hugh Laurie was so good.
“Night Court” great show with magic.
Oh ya!!! I forgot. Love it. The late great Harry Anderson!!
Hugh Laurie is not only an actor and magician, he's also a fantastic musician!
I recommend checking out "Let Them Talk" (an Album of his)
How about you go over some of Orson Welles' stuff ? He was a professional level magician.
Oooh Wesley 😂 every week I try and think of something but all that comes to me is that time Heath ledger made a pencil disappear 😂
There is a magic scene in Elf, when he is at the doctor’s office! It’s very quick and simple!
"That was as good as any NSYNC song" was fantastic commentary 😂
"if you don't know who In Sink is... that's fair." Wes is again priceless.
InSync. :D
@@Fwibos you missed the joke, bub.
@@BullScrapPracEff You realize you are on the internet, right? Do better.
@@Fwibos it was too much for you to handle....
@@BullScrapPracEff it was simply a terrible joke on your part.
Stephen Fry was actually given membership of the Magic Circle a few years ago due to delivering several magic tricks on the programme QI and performing in such a way as pass the entry process. Of course he is also good friends with Penn Jilette.
Great content! I had no idea any of these characters performed magic. (I would like to read chapter 7 of the Dr. House trick because I had never seen that card Force either)
So cool that you actually found the Fry and Laurie rutine. It is well hidden, but goes to show that presentation is such an important aspect in all types of performing arts.
A Bit of Fry and Laurie is the sketch comedy series they did as a duo. They had a very well rehearsed raport going back to comedy theatre in university, and that was such a good example. I'd never seen that. The Fry and Laurie series can be found on some streaming platforms and i recommend if to anyone who liked that bit.
Really enjoy watching these, loved watching Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie growing up in the UK
It's the great Terry Wogan interviewing Fry and Laurie.
RIP Sir Terry
"The chaos makes me happy"
Me too, honestly
The late great Terry Wogan, proving to be the perfect foil - aka lady/gentleman - for Fry & Laurie. They actually were a comedy double act at that time and had been friends since University. Wonderful to see them again.
You're killin it with these videos Wes. Always look forward to them
Being a magician in disguise is tight :p
Also Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry were hilarious, they are so good!
Love the content! Such a great variety of things to be entertained by, and it's all gold in my opinion!
Great video :) not really a trick, but just good to watch is the IT Crowd when the character Jen is dating a guy show LOOKS like a magician hahaha :)
Well, he does try a magic trick:p
czcams.com/video/GHQxkuQfYgw/video.html here at 3:42
Stephen Fry was made a member of the magic circle on the TV show QI in 2015, a long time later
Woah! Did not know that. Very cool.
I really love these reaction videos. You're great at them!
Wes Barker you are without a doubt my favorite CZcamsr. Love ya bro
I am curious about Doc Holiday's coin roll from Tombstone. We always see cards used in the old west narrative. Not sure if there is a lot of magic stuff though. Would love to see early western magic clips. Awesome content!!
Rolling objects on his fingers is apparently a skill Val Kilmer is very proud of, as it has been worked into numerous characters over the years. See also, Iceman with the pen during the briefing in Top Gun.
Muhammad Ali: magic in and out of the ring.
Thought I respected the guy before. He certainly has amazing misdirection on that aspect. Never knew he was into doing magic.
And a ripped magician who could intimidate any potential heckler into keeping their damn mouths shut just by his rep alone.
love these videos, very uncommon good videos like these on CZcams keep doing what your doing
I found you and your channel through Ramsey but I have to say, I watch way more of your stuff now than his! Pumped for the tv show you all are doing!!
well... i've been watching you guys for a while now and i thought i could catch how the trick works buuuuuuuuuut i was enjoying the dr. house bit so much that i didn't notice until you pointed it out and i love that!! it was so entertaining i didn't mind it was long cause i loved it
Love these videos! Thank you!
Loved this video thanks wes🙃
Yep, I remember the handkerchief thumb thing from the only magic class our family ever went to... bout all I remember from it, too. xD
look forward to your videos every time you upload man!!
You may have already seen it, but you need to watch "The Magician" scene in the I.T Crowd. Not magic, just magic themed. Pretty darn funny!
Great video! random, but I'd love to see your magic/room collection!
He's in a tux because they used to have a show called a bit of Fry and Laurie, and in that show the end has them in tuxes sort of hanging out and sort of having a go at each other for the outro
How about a react video about the wikihow magic pages? That would be interesting
I like that way you magically popped up with sound also
Great video once again Wes!
Thes are some great videos. Always look forward to them
The one with Hugh Laurie was awesome, they were really a great duo!! haha
Wow! The Muhammad Ali clip looked like it was at a mall or airport, so that means Ali had the fake thumb and handkerchief on him already! The fact that he keeps magic props on him just blows my mind!
Love these reaction videos👍
Btw Stephen Fry is likely in a tuxedo because he and Hugh Laurie were in a show called Jeeves and Wooster (where the term "Ask Jeeves" came from). It's a high-society British comedy where Jeeves is Wooster's valet, hence the fancy attire.
Always love watching your videos! Hope to start magic one day. Hope you have an awesome day today!
The Hugh Laurie bit would have been better if it would have given "secrets" away late.
After having the air/ma'am pick the specific card you want to be picked you can transfer the fake card to the air/ma'am to be torn up (after he already tore up the card.)
Sent here from your instagram comment.. they're ALL worth watching, Wes!!!
Mohammed Ali"s audience were pro wrestlers the Steiners, RIC flair and Scott Norton.
The trick that Hugh Laurie and Stephen fry performed is actually in the encyclopedia of card magic by jean hugard if I'm not mistaken, also don't know if you have watched "a bit of fry and Laurie", it's really good and it's on CZcams
You should check out Jon Dorenbos, former long snapper for the Philadelphia Eagles! He was a finalist on Americans got talented!
And Steve Martin did a really funny magician skit on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show as "The Great Flydini" that may give you a laugh!
Cheers!
Hey Wes, hopefully your still reading... do you know the movie ''Next'' with Nicolas Cage?
There are a few tricks in there (and realy good magician jokes) i couldnt say if they where real or just ''supernatural''...
I would be so happy if you could check them out on your next episode. :D
You gotta love tricks that leave only one possibility as to how its done
I was rewatching the movie willow today and forgot that warwick davis does a short magic routine in the early part of the movie. There is a great trick of a flaming torch going through his arm all done in a single shot and i would love to see you react and if you know the trick.
Hugh Laurie often played bumbling, comic Englishmen; until "House", it was sort of his trademark. So the bit with dropping the oranges was very much in character for him. BTW, his name is pronounced "Lau-ree".
Well, it makes sense Laurie and Fry played well off each other. They had a long running comedy show together.
In fact, prior to House, I'd ONLY seen Hugh as a comedian and it was REALLY hard for me to accept him in a dramatic role. Then, after watching House for a while, I had a hard time remembering he was a comedian! :)
That first trick suffers from the "Too Perfect" principle that Pen and Teller pointed out. If there's only one way it can be done...
Boom and its gone, keep up the good work Wes very enjoyable cheers.
Can't wait for the next video, bro
Not sure when the DvD clip was from, but it looks like around the time period when “potty jokes” (as often seen in Match Game of the 70’s) on TV were kinda the new taboo-breaking trend. Hence, a kerchief between the legs would have been in that same category of the day.
Hugh Laurie is top notch as always
Fun as always! Think maybe Dick Cavett did some magic?
It was a Brit tv chat show called Wogan, the host was this Irish guy Terry Wogan
Nope, he wasn't or isn't married to Zooey Deschanel.... They may be seeing each other, but they aren't married ;)
And I believe Stephen Fry and Hugh Lourie, were on a show simply called "Wogan" hosted by Terry Wogan... Last episode was in 92 or something!
Stephen and Hugh were a comedy act/duo here in the UK at the time! :)
Pan : left and right
Tilt : up and down
Push in pull out
Zoom in : zoom out
I loved how house kept saying lady gentleman to the male host (even got the host to say it) LOL house and fry are so funny!
Honestly I was most shocked one of the property brothers was married to Zoey D. but I googled and she's married to a film producer. But love your videos!
No she’s been divorced from him. She’s for sure at least dating Jonathan.
@@WesBarkerOh wow! Whoops! I read the -2020 and it didn't register that meant they divorced this year lol!
My mind is extra blown now, never would've imagined them together, but I love Zoey and her sisters work. When I was younger Bones was one of my favorite TV shows.
Anyways lol love your videos/magic it def inspires me to want to learn!
Awesome 😎 thanks brother 🙏
I remember Penn and teller done this on fool us. Same thing , a orange.
Dr. House magic trick is like the one David Blane does for Harrison Ford I wonder if that is where David got the idea to do the trick check it house its on CZcams.
Stephen Fry used to do magic tricks occasionally when hosting QI.
I’m pretty sure he was inducted into the magic circle on the show too.
You should see Fry and Laurie in Jeeves and Wooster.
😆 *"...it's very normal...average-ly good."*
LoL!😎👍
Legend!! #bigtrickenergy 🤘✌️
Great vid, you should definitely want to react to johnny ace palmer, cause he is a great magician
Anyone else notice it wasa different type of card during the brother vs brother trick ?
Also - extra points for Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry!
Hugh Laurie & Stephen Frye worked together for years.
Is it just me or was Ali doing a magic trick for ric flair and the Steiner brothers?
And Scott Norton. Blew my mind lol
"master illusionist" does simple card force?
Wes is back with another video! 🎉 very entertaining.
If you are a fan of Hugh Laurie you should also check out his music, it’s aWESome
You can tell Wes is Canadian because he calls him Hugh Laurier.
Lots of people I didn’t expect to do magic.
You should do a review of former Philadelphia Eagle Joe Dorenbos
Ah yes, Hugh Laurier. Our first prime minister’s cousin?
That was as good as any NSYNC song. How dare you sir.
Lol the dupe was a Jumbo , did no one catch that
Maybe you should react to your magic tricks, like old ones
Ok Wes. That Fry and Laurie reminded me of ugh trying to remember lol.. a magician is at Harrison Fords house. Wasn't House hee hee. Anyway similar the orange on his counter was opened the object was inside. Harrison freaked out got angry and threw him out. Argh can't remember more. Don't know if Harrison was mad as he is well an actor lol
David Blaine
@@garyravinsky3357 oh yes it was. Can you cover it Wes 🙂
In case you haven't seen it, here is another little bit with Fry and Laurie 😊
czcams.com/video/nq-dchJPXGA/video.html
Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry worked as a comedy duo doing sketch bits years back. That's why they play so well off of each other
czcams.com/video/1LopIroSjsU/video.html
it was called the Terry Wogan show.
If Jonathan would have used a 10 of hearts that had the same design face it would have been more believable. The card faces were different and thus made it known that it was a plant.
I have a funny story with the thumb tips, well I find it funny anyway . When I was a kid one of the first tricks I remember seeing was a stranger danger routine by an officer friendly at my school. I was baffled by it. I remember when I got into magic a little later and I got my first magic kit getting a thumb tip and completely dismissing it. As a kid they just looked so obviously fake to me I couldn't believe anyone would fall for it. Older now I've long since realized I was wrong but I still find it funny I got fooled because I couldn't believe the prop could fool me. Granted in my defense this was the 80s when magic kits came with written, often very vague, instructions and I was trying to make sense of it on my own.
Muhammad Ali fooling Rick Flair, Scott & Rick Steiner and other WCW wrestlers.
