America's Got Talent BEST Magician EVER?

Hi, welcome. What's your name, please? My name is Shin Lim. Shin, where are you from? Boston, Massachusetts. And what do you do? I am a card magician. Okay, whoopee. I'm not going to ask any more questions, so good luck. Thanks. Thank you. Just pick one. Anyone. Oh, you can see. Yeah, okay. Can you write your name? Who wants to do it on their feet, Howie? Oh my god. By leaps and bounds is the best sleight-of-hand close-up magic I've ever seen. Really good, like, ballerina hands. Gorgeous. I still cannot close my mouth. I literally, I feel like I was like this. Yeah, I think we all were. Thank you. Well, Shin, I did say to somebody earlier on, I think I've had it with card magic. Yeah, you did, you did. I did say that. Yeah, I'm now gonna take that back, Shin. Yes. This was unbelievable. You have your first yes. Second yes, brother. Third yes. I think there were, what, 3,400 people in here? Hi, Shin. Amazing first audition, by the way. Thank you very much. How have you prepared yourself for the next round? I practiced a whole ton. It's a tough act, so. Well, I'm not going to ask too many questions because I like being surprised. All right. Well, before I begin, I'm gonna need one spectator. So, Olivia, if you wouldn't mind, can you please come up? Good luck. Olivia, could you take your hand, this one, and cover it right over here? Make sure you don't move, okay? Like, what? What the? Take one of these cards and show it to the camera. I'll have the card. Can you go ahead and open the marker? And show it to the camera. Very good. I'm nervous. I was 19 when I first developed carpal tunnel in both of my wrists. Eventually, I had to quit playing the piano and take what used to be a hobby a little bit more seriously. Before I knew it, a new passion had ignited. Just like that. See those dice over there? You grab onto it, roll it. What do you see? Can you show it to the camera? Or you can hold on to them? You said nine, right? Out of those nines, which ones do you want? I want the nine of hearts. Nine of hearts. Thank you, Shen. All right, everyone, we're gonna try something literally interesting. Can you grab the deck, Huckbark? Can you just give it a mix? Give it a little mix? Yeah, shuffle it up as much as you want. You can even look through the cards and see if they're all different, yeah? Are you happy? He's a professional card player over there. Only when you're happy. All right. Here we go. I'm gonna riffle down the deck like this. Okay. You just say stop anytime you want. Okay. Stop. Right there? Yep. Remember the card. Okay. Don't forget it. All right. Forget it. The trick's over. Okay. Have your hand out like this. All right. All right, cool. Shuffle up the cards. Okay, shuffle again. Mix it up as much as you want. Again, until you're happy and it's thoroughly mixed inside. That way I have no idea what your card is or where it is. Can you close your eyes? All right, I'll close. I'll do whatever you want. Here we go. All right, cool. Here we go. We're gonna try to find your card, but not me. All of us. All right. All of us. Yeah, here we go. I'm gonna try to split the deck into four equal piles. I'll try my best to make them as equal as possible. I was never very good at math, but there you go, I think. I don't think that's funny, but yeah. All right, Akbar, you pick the card, right? You get to point to a pile, just point to one. Point to a pile? Yeah, point to a pile. That one. All right, give it to someone other than yourself. How about... You get that one. Point to another one. Thank you. This one. All right, give it to someone other than yourself. All right. Let's take this one. All right, cool. All right, so we all grab the deck like this. This is what we call a gambler's grip. Okay. A what grip? Mechanic's grip. A mechanic's grip. Yeah, what a dealer would do at a casino. And try dealing the top card right over there. Yeah, very good. And then shuffle like this and then deal and shuffle and deal. But make sure it's in a nice neat little pile like that because neatness does count. You can even deal multiple cards like a packet if you want. All we're doing is we're actually just thoroughly mixing up the cards. It's all we're doing. Until you are finished. Very good. You're fast. These two others are a little slow. Okay, okay, okay. Hurry up, Matt. Sorry, Tyra. You have your cards. Grab it. Now you guys play poker? Yes. All right, in poker we burn the top card like this. Go ahead, try it. Burn it. Do you know why we do that, Tyra? Cheaters. Yeah, that's right, because sometimes there's marks on the back of the card. That's why we burned it. So in this game, we can burn as many as you want. Go ahead. It's hot. Burn it. Okay, I'm not burning them, Tyra. Stop whenever you want. I'm stopping here, but you guys don't throw all your cards, obviously. Okay, okay. Now let's count every minute. One, two, three, count. I got two. I got one, two, three, four. Was I supposed to have kept more, Shannon? That's okay. No, no, no. You can throw as many. I have six. All right, don't touch your cards anymore. So look in this pile. Look, I'm not going to do anything funny. I would say about half of our cards are in here. Would you say that? Yeah, 60%. Yeah, 60%. That's very accurate. You threw a majority of your cards here. I did throw a majority of mine away. Yeah, which makes this trick a little bit harder, so thank you for that. Now, for the first time ever, what was your card? Because they don't know what it is. Okay, you sure? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can say it. Jack of clubs. Jack of clubs. So the chances of it being in here is about 60%, right? Yes, 60%. You gave us the piles. I had no influence on you whatsoever. No. We didn't talk about this backstage or anything like this. This is the first time you've ever seen this, right? Yep, that's right. This is the first time. We then shuffled the cards very thoroughly. Yeah. I feel like you're about to do something to us here, Shannon. What if I told you, even though all of that happened, that jack of clubs is in your pile? In my pile? Yeah. Never. What would you say? That's a 20% chance? Well, okay, let's do better. What if it was at the top of your pile? No, that's impossible. Lift up the top card. Show them. What is it? You shuffled the pile. How'd you do that? But we're playing poker, right, guys? Yeah. And you know, in poker, a four of a kind's the best hand. Yeah. That's why I have a jack. Tyra, that's why you have a jack. What the hell? Oh, my God! Hello, Melissa. Hello. Thank you so much for joining me. Thank you for having me. Now we're here at the finale, and, you know, there's so many memories that I've had in the past couple of months. But there's actually a big difference between a memory and a moment. It's kind of like what we're living right now in this very second. Like, we don't even know who's gonna be crowned champion until later on. Much like this card right over here. It's blank, and I have no idea what it's gonna be until later on. So let's actually capture this moment. Can you hold on to it? Uh-huh. Do you have a phone? Yes. Grab it. We're gonna take a picture of this, okay, so we can kind of remember this moment. Okay. Hold it up to your face. Smile. Very good. We'll leave that. We don't need that. Actually, we don't really need that card either, so just be sure I don't touch it at all. I'll leave it right next to your phone. Do you have a favorite card? Queen. Okay, do you know which queen? Diamonds. Queen of diamonds? Yeah. Okay, cool. Let's look for it. Here we go. Queen of diamonds. Okay, there we go. Um, actually, to tell you the truth, maybe this deck is stacked in some way. Can you shuffle it? Give it a mix. Alright. I don't want to touch it in any way. Something like that. Very good, okay. It's making the job harder for me, that's why. That. That's very good. Alright, cool. Deck it. Cut the deck anywhere you want. Okay. Maybe in half or whatever. Okay, hold on to whichever packet you want. Alright. Now, Melissa, I want you to do me a favor. Deal onto my hand and you just stop anytime you want. Okay? Completely up to you. Your choice. You want to keep going? You can stop if you want. It's your choice. Right there? Uh-huh. Okay, cool. Now, queen of diamonds, right? You shuffled the deck. I did. You stopped wherever you wanted? Uh-huh. Queen of diamonds. Does that sound about right? What? I'm going to run through the deck. It's not like the cards are all the same. There's only one queen of diamonds in the deck. You can be the judge, yeah? Uh-huh. Yeah, okay, cool. But let's make it even more different. Alright, Melissa? Can you actually kiss the face of the queen right over there? Okay. That's just going to make it completely unique. Amazing. There's only one queen of diamonds in the world. Like this. Melissa, can I have your hand up? Like that? Okay, cool. We're going to also make it special but can you grab onto that card? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'll bite on it, the corner. Like this corner? Oh, yeah. Go ahead. Make sure I don't go anywhere near that card, okay? Stay just there. Okay. We'll take the two of hearts. I'll kiss it as well. Oh, that's kind of awkward. I forgot to put on my lipstick. That's okay. There you go. So I have a two, here's a queen. Can I go? Uh-huh. And I'm pretty sure now I have the queen of diamonds in my mouth. Melissa, remember we were talking about moments and we can take this moment right here, the queen of diamonds and make it vanish. Remember that picture we took before? Can you go to your photo album? I don't want to do anything anymore at this point. Okay. Take a look at your latest photo. What do you see? Oh, yeah, that looks a lot like the queen of diamonds to me, doesn't it? That's your phone. This is not mine. It's your picture. So remember, whatever happens in this dimension sometimes also happens in reality as well. Howie? Yes. Just take one of these cards. Show it to the camera. To the camera? Yeah. I'll have the card. Can you open the market? You can sit back there. Thank you. Can you open up the market? Very good. Show the camera. Where are the cards? Okay, well a lot of people do ask that, Terry. Howie, can you try opening your cup? Just open it up. Are you... No!
