Magician Turns Run-of-the-Mill Card Trick Into Something Awe-Inspiring

Shin Lim is a magician whose work truly speaks for itself.

Lim, a former pianist from San Francisco, chooses not to speak during his acts and still manages to wow audiences with his creative reworking of old tricks.

In his viral performance on Penn and Teller, for instance, Lim seems to be performing a pretty run-of-the-mill card trick. A participant is asked to pick a card, write her name on the back with a Sharpie and put the card back in the deck.

For those who were wondering how he intended to ‘wow’ magic experts Penn and Teller with such a simple trick, the answer quickly becomes obvious, as smoke begins to bellow out of Lim’s mouth!

Everyone gasps as the smoke continues to swell and a folded playing card appears on Lim’s tongue. It is, in fact, the card the woman had replaced in the deck!

He doesn’t stop there and goes on to make the Sharpie disappear completely into thin air.
