Shin Lim Shows Us Crazy Card Tricks

Okay, I can't be with Shin Lim without doing, of course, some magic tricks.

But while we're talking about cards, I see one on your chest.

Oh. Not dot not like I'm like spying, but is it?

Sure. Yeah, that's a queen of spades.

Uh yeah, no no real significance to that actually.

Really?

Yeah. I mean, of course, other than being a playing card.

Uh so I do use it on a lot of tricks and stuff.

But um no specific importance to the value of this card or anything like that.

Um it was just something I got right when I turned 18.

I I my friends were like, you're 18.

Let's get a tattoo.

And I'm like, okay, let's get a tattoo.

You have one more tattoo.

Now, Yes.

Oh, it's also it's actually also the queen of spades as well.

Now, you're fully dressed or is it just these two that you have?

That's it.

Just these two.

Okay, so now you're just No, no no other tattoos.

Yeah, no.

No other tattoos.

You have one more to walk in with.

Yeah, this one is actually significant.

Okay.

Yeah.

This one, so this one is part of uh it's called the 52.

It's a very like exclusive group.

I was like, okay guys, I will join you.

However, it has to be the queen of spades.

Leslie, go ahead.

Shuffle these cards.

Mix them up.

Make sure it is indeed different.

Every single card is different.

These are gorgeous, by the way.

Oh, thank you.

That's uh my brand of cards.

What do you call them?

Regalia.

Regalia.

Yeah.

It's like the luxury cards.

It's it's mainly 'cause it's gold foil printed.

So, With burgundy tones.

That's why you can see gorgeous.

Luxury.

All right.

So, normal deck, everything's fine.

Yeah.

Uh I want you to just look at two cards.

Just two cards in this fan.

But not the bottom card cuz you know, we've all seen that already.

So, Okay.

Just two cards.

Got it.

Don't Don't forget it cuz if you forget it, then the whole trick is over, okay?

No, I got it.

I got it.

I got it.

So, uh what was the first card?

Oh, I know I got it.

Shall we say it out loud?

You you say it out loud.

Just imagine right here at the top.

Two of hearts.

Two of hearts.

Imagine the two of hearts kind of rising up to the top, okay?

Imagine the two of hearts rising all the way to the top and it comes up right over here.

Then that's the two of right here.

Just like that.

That's the two of hearts.

What was the second?

What was the second one?

Eight of hearts.

The eight of hearts.

Okay.

Imagine the eight of hearts.

You know, instead of rising to the top, Leslie, it's actually going to change.

So, instead of the two of hearts right over here, imagine the two of hearts changing into the eight of hearts.

One, two, three.

And it changes right into the eight of hearts.

But I can actually take the eight of hearts.

I can change it back to the to the hearts which is so strange.

And everything is example.

You can examine the whole deck if you want to.

Everything is No.

How'd you do that?

I don't know.

It's so crazy.

Right here.

How'd you do that?

I don't know.

I don't know.

You don't know.

Well, I do know.

It's no social life is how I do that.

Shin Lim trick number two.

I can't wait.

All right.

This time is different.

This time we're going to sign a card, which is why we have the Sharpie.

Okay.

Think of any card at all.

Good.

Say it out loud.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Queen of hearts.

Yeah.

See, it doesn't it doesn't matter if uh if I know what the card is because you're going to sign it.

You're going to make it very very unique.

Do you have a queen of hearts?

I think so.

I'm trying to I'm trying to search for it right now.

Oh, wow.

Okay.

There it is.

Okay.

There it is.

Take the queen of hearts.

Okay.

Sign it, sign it, sign it.

Okay.

That's very unique.

There's there's only pretty much one queen of hearts in the entire deck.

I would say.

That has this signature.

Yeah.

Uh I'm going to place it about halfway into the deck.

I would say.

Uh I would say 25 cards down.

Something like that, you know.

Leslie, push it in.

Push it all the way.

Push it all the way.

Right.

Very good.

Now, hold on to the cards.

Now, I would say your card is 25 cards down.

But you know, in a poker game, like let's say a dealer, right, wanted to cheat, like a gambler, for example, in a card game with a lot of money involved, the best place to put the card, a winning card, is at the bottom.

Oh, no.

Yeah.

And they would they would do what is called bottom deal in order to access that card.

But we placed that queen in the middle.

If I snap my hands, take a look at the bottom card, Leslie.

No.

Yeah.

Turn your hand over.

No.

No way.

It's on the bottom right now.

No, it's not.

How'd you do that?

Okay.

W- W- watch the queen.

I'll do I'll do it one more time.

But this time, instead of the bottom, this time to the top.

Okay.

So, so I'll place it about halfway again.

If I snap my hands, it jumps right to the top.

But not just the queen.

What's a really good hand in poker?

Four of a kind, right?

Sure.

Yeah.

Watch the queen.

No.

I can get the four queens in the deck.

But yeah, I'll I'll do it

How?

I'll do it one more time.

I'll do it one more time.

Watch Watch the queen of hearts.

This time I'll be more fair.

I'm going to bend it.

So you can see it amongst all the other cards.

So, see see how it kind of there's a bend.

You know.

So, you can't really Yeah.

It's bent.

Can't really see it.

You can tell the difference between that card and all the other cards.

But watch.

Okay.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

One, two, three.

And there's the queen of hearts.

Your signed card.

What?

What?

That was right in front of my eyes.

And it actually magically happened.

Jumps to the top.

Very ambitious card that one.

This guy jumped to the top.

This guy jumped to the top.

And you're still rising.

Oh, I hope.

I'm going to keep trying my best.

Off to the Venetian.

Oh, yeah.
