    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!

    Wes, I was thinking maybe you can add yourself attempting the tricks you review to your videos. Even the ones that are done all "hollywood" it would be cool to see your take on how you would be able to pull it off in real life, even if not possible it would be neat to see how close you'd be able to get. I think that would be something most of us would love to see. Love your vids and the other boys as well... keep it up!

    i love how excited you get when the actors/actresses actually learn and do the magic. Heres my clip suggestion. Theres a game called Apex Legends and a character named Mirage. In the lobby you can see Mirage perform a lil sleight of hand by making his gun disappear. Just something i thought was pretty awesome n thought you'd enjoy.

    0:03-0:09: I completely agree, Mr Barker. These videos of yours are right on the top of my favourite moments of the week. Thank you for making Life that much better and more enjoyable mate.
    EDIT: Wow, ok, those 12 minutes went by way faster than they should have. Was that also a magic trick? It's my least favourite of all of them, if it was. These need to be at least 2-3 times longer man, I need my fix! 😆
    In all seriousness though, it's not just the review that I love, it's the incredibly witty and humourous way in which you do the review. I truly do wish these were longer, I enjoy them immensely. Thanks again man.

    It looks like Anthony Hopkins is at least putting on a good show of doing the ventriloquism himself. They don’t move their lips, but you can always see a ventriloquist’s throat moving, and he does it here, in time with the speech. Not sure if the speech is dubbed over later, though.
