Magic FACE-OFF // ep. 3 "Spidey" 

My brain still hurts from literally everything you did in this video. This was so much fun dude! 😊

If you watch it at 0.25x speed, you will see that he actually produced the cards in the air.

Apologies for the reupload, the last one had a weird glitch in the matrix. Also I know from the last video with takumi, a lot of people were skeptical about it being a single take so here is the full zoom conference link w/ me and Spidey ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6QHPj3X5kk0.html

"You should have looked at the envelope..." Well no, watching the envelope wont help you at all lol.

He's great at dealing 2nds to force the card. Legitimately smooth

I would love Spidey to make a tutorial to explain his card trick. This was insane! It's so clean!

Shin: we will teach other after this video ends me: No, don't leave me....i need to know!

who else rewinded the video just to see if someone touched the envelope??

Shin shaking while performing a new trick gives me hope

Amazing! Forced choice + perfect setup (the frame behind Shin is the KEY!). Entertaining!

2 of my favorite magicians ever! God bless you both!

It makes me feel so much better as a performer that even in a 1-on-1 call with a good friend, the world-renowned Shin Lim can, and does, still suffer from nervous hand tremors.

For the 9 of hearts you can see that it's on the top at all times and he's dealing from the bottom. As far as the letter.... real magic ...

Looks like I'll never figure put where all those 9 of hearts came from. That was tooooo good

I love how humble Shin is even though he literally is the best. He does a good job making other magicians feel relevant 😂

Man. You guys are just so ridiculous!!! It’s such a treat watching 2 of the best in Magic together. Thank you guys so much for all you do and everything you give back!!!!

Haha love the last part! Love this idea of magicians growing and learning from each other. :)

Shin Lim is an absolute sleight of hand God. He pulled those cards out of no where. I know the back hand hide but you seriously seen both sides of his hands. Absolutely perfection. I didn't forget about you Spidey. Your seriously the best mentalism I've seen. Thank you both for this little show.

If you supper slow motion you will see that in frame 2:15 his thumb goes black as it passes behind the cards that he has suspended in the black border of the picture frame. the cards are turned sideways with a black edge so they blend in perfectly

I believe you accidentally cut off the video early if you wouldn’t mind adding the end part back on that would be amazing

Geezus got to hand it to Spidey, being able to follow that and...being able to follow that. 🤩 Amazing stuff fellows.

I've never been a fan of magic, but sometimes I have to look for Shin Lim videos to be amazed.

Can we please appreciate the amazing Harry Potter T-Shirt Spidey has ... 🔥

Sooooo good!! The ending is so genuine when you both fooled each other and negotiate to each it in return nyahaha

Woaw, great tricks, very impressive. You are both so exceptional. Next vs : Alex Pandrea? Thank you very much for this great idea, the versus match.

Shin, since Fifty Shades of Red and Dreamact I've never been fooled that hard again. Thank you, that was wonderful

"I can't top that" Proceeds to completely melt Shin's mind.

It’s not camera editing, but it is camera tricks. Derren Brown did similar when he trained a group of elderly people to steal a painting. This only works on video. There is another screen showing the background, and an assistant can hold the cards behind the screen fir Shin to take. He simply takes the cards from behind the screen. To us, we see the background and Shin’s hands are genuinely empty. It’s simple.

For more reasons than what you may imagine, you're the Michael Jackson of magic. 😀

Shin,first you are doing a second deal and then you take cards by the help of black frame in your back.

The cards are actually painted black on the back of the card and are attached to string in order to blend in with the artwork. Whenever he looks away from the camera, he's actually looking at the cards which are still hanging. There's a reason why doesn't show the back of the cards when they appear. As for the envelope, there's definitely some elite sleight of hand going on. Still a flawless performance 👌.

Shin's hair blends into the photo background very well.

I figured it out...the cards are hanging by a thread and when shim “produces the cards” he just turns it to the face side. The other side of the card is black so it blends with the painting in the background. Play at 0.25 you’ll se what I mean. He only produces the card within the black spaces on the painting. It’s basically a setup which explains the weird painting position laying on top of the couch. Great concept though!

Its simple, both of Spidey and Shin is a Paid actor

A masterpiece of a practical visual-effect!! Thank you! Looks stunning! I couldn't believe it when I first saw it 😍😂✨

Oooooohh no....I saw your magic tricks..i am huge fan of you now 😘..please keep it up...we love to see your magic tricks :)

Spideys trick: Step 1: Prepare a table with an absolute black mat Step 2: Before the trick, place three magneto cards(basically a card with one side magnetic) with absolute black on the sides with magnets and other sides with each 16,4,7♥︎ on the mat. Put the black side face up so Shin Lim can't tell that there are hidden cards. Step 3: Pull out a deck full of magneto cards. Step 4: Basically, at the start, he puts Shin Lim's three cards on each of the three hidden cards and use the magnets to stick it together. Step 5: Reveal the cards and the hidden cards will stick onto the three cards Shin Lim chose. This creates the illusion that Shin Lim guesses Spidey's cards right.

i actually dont know which trick was more impressive... simply wow

Boy..Canada has so many great magicians! I watched lots of Fool Us episodes and some of the greatest acts were Canadians like Shawn Farquar or Wes Barker and loads of others, but unfortunately I had to google most of them to actually find out that they are Canadian. I have the impression Canada is a really magical country.

Wow these were both great. Spidey's fooled me so badly.

Damn it. The only thing I could say throughout his perfomance was. "I hate you" My brain hurts o_0

Absolutely unbelievable as always. And it certainly doesn’t hurt that Shin is such a likeable guy

One question Shin… How?

I appreciate the humbleness, 'cause I know that Shin figure it out even before Spider ask him what's behind the cards.. ❤️ great magician..

1: where does shins thumb tip go at 2:15, 2: whats the black artifact between the cards. theres good slight of hand, then theres just the impossible

1:34 - 1:41, the 9 of hearts is still on the top of the deck and shin getting out the cards maybe in the middle or a card after the 9 of hearts... 😊

I wish I had such a cool friend who would tell me the secret... Or friends at all

La production de cartes à 2:16 est folle ! C'est si clean !

Me: Doctor I have recurring headaches. Doc: When does it happen? Me: When I watch Shin Lim videos Doc: Same!

Wow!.. just wow.. both are amazing!

Love your and Spidey’s magic!

Man watching this two dude made me smile

I. Hate. You. THIS is why you're the greatest magician alive! Also, I literally lol'd at that blow sound. WTF Shin, I hate you so much!!! Much love, brother!

Spidey saying "You're better at me" is kind of accurate. Love both of your amazing stuff!

"I'm not lying, forcing cards, doing fake shuffles, nor anything shady. Promise! I would never deceive you." - Someone who deceives people for a living.

Its a set of videos played live in front of Spidey. First video is literally live from 0:00 till Spidey said “Stop”, and then after it he played a set of videos offline without Spidey knowing to show the 9 of hearts and produce them in the air. while doing that, somebody was writing, printing and replacing the letter. And finally he got live again and showed him the envelope. You can see how the video cuts and Chin’s voice is heard when he said “thats the first one”... Busted!

I understood the popsicles reference. :) Great tricks guys!

These two guys are the best in the business!!! Fabulous!!!!

How many people go back to check the envelope when Shin says it was all misdirection and find out that the envelope was there all the time？

I was so blown away by Spidey's trick but then I figured it out. I wish I hadn't because the feeling of magic that it gives is wonderful.

Next episode with Chris Ramsay and alex pandrea.please.

Star wars shirt and a Harry Potter shirt ughh❤️

I aways love Shin's magic but this one is really hurts. I have pain in my brain now

At 2:18 it looks a lot like a jump cut. There's an abrupt change in the position of his hand. If you watch it frame by frame, the hand suddenly moves a large distance which would only be possible with a cut unless you're the Flash LOL :) The shoulders and body suddenly shift and rotate too and hold the new position. I'm not 100% sure, but usually your eyes can easily tell if something is a cut and not real life movement, and this looks very much like an edited video. The cut before that was so well done I couldn't even tell it was a cut. After seeing the second one though, I went back and you can kind of tell that it could be a cut as well

Spidey was really good. I'm shocked that they TEACH each other tricks. Great insight Shin. Thank you. Amazing again.

Love that Trick with the NUMBs from Spidey ;) After Shin Lims Performance it's rising like a PhOeNix :)

WOW! Nice! Both effects! But really, how did Shin just pull cards out of thin air?

WOW, just WOW. There are tricks where you can fool people who don't know about any card magic techniques. Some of them I can do myself. But to fool people who are experts in this scene, now that's a whole new level of magic! You can't do any "classical" tricks like double lifts or fake cuts or whatever, because they will instantly notice it.

Did anybody realize on AGT it was the 9 of hearts lol

what the actual fuck shin lim is so clean, i stopped frame by frame and i cant see anything... the force on the 9 of hearts is "simple" but in itself already really hard and fascinating, but the cards that just appear??? What the actual fuck man... this is super clean, shin lim is just amazing...

My crazy theory on the card-production 😂: They are real. They are somehow placed in the air in front of him but to a specific spot. From the angle of the camera this spot matches with the black background of the picture behind him. The cards are covered in black as well. He grabs the cards and reveals them.

It's the ending for me though 😂😂😂😂😂. Spidey and Shin Lim are just too good

If you watch it at 0.25* speed you can see when Shin detaches from his body, writes that letter with Ipad, and prints it out while juggling with two burning pillows.

This video was so dope I love this series keep up the great work, and Spidey that shirt is awesome

At 2:15 his thumb is cropped (only visible if you play at 0.25x speed) and at 2:32 there's a black line visible on his hand. The second is also visible while the speed is on 0.25x. This explains the mastery of Shin Lim. It's not for human eyes.

Finally an episode when they genuinely fooled each other....

2:18 - 2:19, there's a frame looks like a cut

What i can say is : Amazing, men !!!

I thought I was on to Spidey’s trick as a 1 ahead trick but when he didn’t move the cards at the end he completely blew my mind. Thanks guys

I have the VERY hazed idea of how Spideys routine work Shins have no clue. But they are both KILLER tricks

Shin Lim is so amazing, his talent is off the charts. The last trick with the envelope was amazing but you can tell what he does if you slow it down.

The tutorial on spideys channel was cool as well, I love this content, finally spidey is in the house man!!! One of my favourite magicians in the world, and shin lim as well🤗

i played it back in .25 speed and caught shin lim lacking at 2:15 . you can see part of his thumb disappear and a little black space behind the cards. you can either do a green screen or video editing :)

I think it's too good in that the only solution it has would be camera masking and another person typing/printing the letter. I'm assuming the true video feed without any modification would show a very different trick.

I see jump cuts. Shim's hair moves an inch on the second card pull

Both routines are VERY deceptive. Shins I know probably about productions, have no clue about envelope. Spideys I had an idea, but the same question as Shim had popped to my mind: HOW THEY FIT THERE??? lol Im fooled, by both of you. LOVE IT!

@shinlim @shin lim Gotcha 😋 There is a reason for the black picture in the background. Also it's a matter of the perspective. @2:15 and @2:19 you can see a black paper which covers the cards - watch with x0.25 but you have to get the right frame. Nobody can see this without having the advantage of replay and slowdown 😁 Well done! Also you are really starring at the spot the cards will appear because you have to grab them in this particular spot. And @2:41 you can see the black paper as the last card.

First I see Shin Lim being nervous about magic like this

Shin tutorial: "okay, so first you have to get yourself an infinity stone..."

Shin's trick is a lot more entertaining, but I kinda can understand how it works, Spidey's one is not so flashy, but I have no clue, I suppose it's real magic, this is so awesome.

2:15 x0.25 thumb

God I wish I was on the other end of this call. Both those routines floored me

Want to learn the trick that Spidey performed! 🤩😭

Omg, I just started watching your channel a couple of weeks ago. Your *style* is so fun and easy to watch. Thank you! The repartee with Shin is just the best - so much fun to watch.

why does half of shin's thumb disappear for a frame when he produces the fan of 9 of hearts with his right hand? If you are going to use some video editing, at least do it well. smh.

The way you say "Okay cool" is just too cool🤭❣️.....and that's the word u used very often❤️

Sorry, Shin am gonna expose it Penn style: Sometimes magicians place objects on other objects, to the norm it would look meaningless, but decorating the set is always helpful especially when it absorbs all sorts of lights. definitely, some tasks are too hard, and would be impossible for me to do it alone. And as always your slide of hands is as clean as Hawaii's beaches.

Don't know anything else but he was always picking out the second card in the deck and the 9 of hearts was always on top. Rest everything🤯

Everything that he catches is lined up perfectly with his picture in the background. If you look super close the first, second, and third set of cards have 1 black card each. If you do a switch fast enough it will look like you pulled them all from thin air. Ideally he used invisible thread or another way to suspend them over the picture. @shin lim The other trick is prob just knowing his friend really well. Anyway it was a phenomenal performance man!! I hope to see more of your work. I love trying to figure this out. Once you see the black card it will be hard to ever not see it again. The only reason I caught it was it messed with the frame of the picture. Love your work too @spideyhypnosis

Great stuff guys very good very entertaining!!😀😀
