📷 My Main Camera (fast autofocus): amzn.to/2MwhPEA

Extra equipment
🔵 Tripod for camera: amzn.to/2U1O8Ri
🔵 Light Stand: amzn.to/3aawnoM
This light stand is kinda not sturdy enough because the light and soft box are so large; the whole thing can tip over easily. But it's what I use! 😆 Or you can perhaps find another light stand that is rated to hold more weight. Or just put something heavy (like sandbags) onto the bottom to lower the center of gravity.
-- AESOP'S FABLES book -- In case you want to follow along. :) This version looks almost identical, but I see mine was published in 2014 and has a bear on the front cover. I believe it's the exact same concept though. A fun little book with thought-provoking stories from long ago.

2) Alas... it seems I completely forgot to answer the Random Question with you and me from the beginning of the video. Mea culpa! So I'll answer it here at least. If I was suddenly arrested, my friends and family would probably assume... it's from walking down the street with "these guns" out (commences flexing biceps desperately). Nah but for real, since I'm living as a foreigner away from my Texas home (now in Ukraine), they might guess I got mixed up with the wrong crowd and was thrown into the Gulag. Too bad I never learned to speak Russian or Ukrainian... :(
3) Oh and this might be the song I mentioned (from Edward Scissorhands as I suspected): ruclips.net/video/VMfs1rlw4tc/видео.html

The method of creating that visual effect would be easy for one camera if all the specs were known beforehand, but almost impossible for "all cameras", in the sense that you wouldn't be able to perform it live with just anyone watching and using whatever high framerate slow-motion function their phone is capable of. Not even to mention, one person taking a single high shutter speed image.
Truly beautiful, but I don't think we'll be seeing much more of that.
Very risky.
- I liked the act but it didn't fell "magical" enough for my taste. I think we can even hear the spinning blades of the hologram gadget during the video. The moment of apparition and vanishing of that thingamajig was edited out. And the mentalism part of the routine felt too forced. As far as we know, the names could have been written in the whiteboard from the get go or disguised as tattoos for Terry to read, for instance (or even written in the marker, but we've seen something like that in Fool Us!).
- Anyways, I prefer to believe that Terry was not aware and the names were actually transmitted to his brain by some of the means you mentioned. I also agree with that the final reveal was anticlimactic.
- Lol at the "these guns" commentary 🤣
Yes song was indeed Edward Scissorhand. When you start humming I was like oh oh I know that...
Google - spinning led hologram. Pretty easy effect tho he made into a nice integrated performance. Also i didn't like his prediction at the end. To me it showed the result was forced by the magician. Detracts from the performance in this case IMO.
Those tattooed letters are his magic trick cheat sheet 😜 The hologram concept needs to be used again somehow, even if not central to the next trick, otherwise he will get railed if his trick is mediocre plus he omitted the aspect the judges were blown away with initially. My wife and I are on a list to attend an AGT in the audience. Hope it works out. But with the delta variant creeping up around the US, including LA (AGT is filmed next door in Pasadena) who knows what will happen to live tapings.
I think he should cut the prediction reveal at the end. I feel like he tried to squeeze in an extra reveal but sacrificed the narrative. The story arc of the trick is that the judges had free selection and then he read their minds and transmitted it to the host, but then he tries to change the story at the very end to ‘I knew it all along’.
I think telling a good story is a part of magic that a lot of performers overlook.
totally agree.
Agree 100% and brilliantly expressed. Exposing the force at the end is such an error. He had a great narrative, nicely visualised and it was enough!
Thought the same thing when I saw it.
I can see that Jason minds think alike :)
Yeah I feel like this did more harm than good. It not only removed all doubt that the selection was forced but it also undermined the whole premise of act.
I'm still sad FOOL US made you stop doing their reacts. Who agrees?
Yeah it's a shame... thanks for your support. But that's life! :) Upwards and onwards...
I fully agree.
What?? when did that happen?
I DIDN'T KNOW FOOL US STOPPED HIM! THATS F%#$&$ UP
IM SO MAD AT FOOL US NOW 🙁
I notice the camera cuts were VERY kind to this performer when he's loading and ditching the hologram device. Great use of that equipment, just wish he hadn't exposed the force with that extra step at the end!
Totally agree. Don't know why he would ruin it for himself.
Yes, it was both unnecessary and distracted from the impact.
Maybe deep down he felt a little annoyance that his machine was getting all the attention, so he wanted to show that HE was still performing magic up there?
I said that when I saw it on TV....the last "prediction" totally ruined the mind transfer concept.
@@spacecoastz4026 Yes, I think performers need to stop these multiple endings for a trick, it's overkill and - like you say - it changes the concept of the trick. It's like telling a joke with a good punchline and interrupting the laughing to try and add a different punchline!
@@goldeneddie yes. More psychology, less shock factor.
Regarding the issue with the FOOL US Reaction videos, my understanding is that you can't straight use their original video to fill x% of the Screen.
But what you CAN do is show yourself directly watching their video and reacting to it.
In other words, rearrange your camera so that instead of inserting your facial image in a corner of their video, you camera sees both you and their video on it's own monitor together.
Yeah, it shouldn't make a difference but I think the issue is that if you are use their video directly it's infringement but if you show their video on a screen in your cameras background, then it's considered fair use since you are not directly using their video.
I'll look to see if I can find the YT video that explained the legal differences and how viewing in the back ground was a viable defense. Just something to consider.
The visual effect is easy, It's a spinning 'fan' with LEDs on it, it gives very realistic 3D effects.
Yeah,it is easy and common! I think 99,99999 % of world population saw this here for the 1st time in there lives ,please stfu
Your that guy that no one likes in a group of friends. As you walk away they all talk about you.
@@giovanni2980 Doesn't sound like they were real friends, then.
Where can I buy these?
If he's a real magician, he obviously has an Aesops Fable tattooed on his arm.
lol
that technology called as "3D Hologram LED Fan Display" , you can see on back the chair on 12:58
I was coming here to say I was a big "fan" of his work... but this works too ;-)
Its cool, but it's a 2D LED fan display as it's not volumetric. It creates a floating 2D image using persistence of vision so that the image from the LED's are visible but the thin, fast spinning blades are not. It's similar to Peppers Ghost where an image is projected onto smoke or reflected off a sheet of glass. The '3D hologram' description is a bit of... creative hyperbole, advertising gimmick, lying. There's a lot of it about these days, like the mini AC (AC stands for Air Cooler not Air Conditioner) that keeps popping up on my Facebook page. Or, hoverboards that don't actually hover and in no way resemble the hoverboards from back to the future. The cool thing about these is that you can have a wall of fans... if that is the right word, arranged in a grid and synchronised to create a single large image floating in the air. Mind you, holding one in your hand is a little hazardous. You will have to be very aware of where the blades are to avoid hitting anything, as they are hard to see even up close. One impressive thing with the act is that there was almost no image flicker or gap like you see on Jason's phone. You can only get rid of it by adjusting the shutter settings on the camera, so there was a little cooperation from the video crew there.
Whew! That was close. You almost summoned mischievous Michael Keaton.
hahaha... glad someone got that reference :)
I would like to see Kevin Micoud expand on the visual magic and make a whole act out of it. Much like Jason Parker I found that part of his act absolutely mind-boggling.
I'm an engineer and I hate electronic magic lol. I mean there's nothing unique about it. Idk. Might just be me lol.
yeah normally I appreciate sleight of hand more... but it was still a pretty shocking visual! Thanks for your comment Chia :)
I have a question: why do you think the two names that Terry (apparently) wrote are written so differently?
II don't think they are that different. Had he been writing them on a flat LEVEL surface you'd probably see little difference. As he hands over the board, it's an annoyingly brief shot, but you can just see that the writing surface WAS facing the audience immediately prior and was blank.
I think that there is a bit of clever distraction going on in the "How did he do it" part of this trick, such as forcing people to think, "Hold on... the first names are both four letters, and the surnames are both THREE letters, that can't be a coincidence!!!"
It's not a coincidence... it's a deliberate distraction.
Unless he had a very faint __ __ __ __ / __ __ __ drawn twice on the panel for Terry to fill in the blanks, (or photosensitive ink that would vanish after a few seconds) but I don't know how many AGT finalists have had 4/3 letter names... But if that's how he did it, that would be REALLY cheesy... and I mean REALLY CHEESY.
@@andrewtomlinson5237 Not that different Andy, really? If you stop it at 9:10 you can see they are VERY different. One is heavy and straight, with a dot above the 'i', the other is light and scrawly, with no dot.
@@goldeneddie But the handwriting is very similar. The difference is in the tip of that huge chunky marker pen. Believe me when I say that this trick did not involve anyone else writing on that board, or it certainly didn't NEED to, unless they wanted to perform it in a needlessly complicated and potentially risky way in front of a live audience. Kevin's on and off manipulation of the hologram device had already been a bit... clunky... I doubt his ability to switch out boards would have been any better. And if you think that someone had written those names other than Terry... why? If Terry didn't write them and didn't say anything like, "hold on those weren't the names I thought of..." he was clearly "In on it" so why not just get him to write the names??? I think you are reading far too much into it.
But that might be what they want. Because the simplest solution is also the most mundane, and obvious solution. And we know from the final reveal that the name cards were forced on the judges...
@@andrewtomlinson5237 Well, I know it's not part of the method (I used to perform) which is why I originally asked the question that you're asking now - *Why* would they be written differently? I can think of no reason related to the method, but - seriously - they do look quite different. So why would that be? I thought about the pen too, but it's a radical difference, and interestingly we only see Terry write in the centre of the board. Just makes me wonder.
Filming of the spinning hologram "screens" don't look good (it shows aliasing and artifacts that your eye doesn't see), so most likely AGT edited the image, replacing it with a clean image. That's why the image was so eye-poppingly stunning--it was edited into a perfect, bright, and quite impossible image.
I'm with @david on this. Clearly the judges saw SOMETHING, because they commented on the visuals, but I don't believe for a moment that they saw in person what we're seeing in the video.
Captain Disillusion would be able to explain the "how" quicker than I can type this sentence.
The only thing truly impressive was that hologram, and the creativity to utilize it in that way, but half the props for that prop surely goes to whoever invented the technology. The rest is just one of those long brain teasers where the idea is that you forget what took place in the beginning. He performed it well though, so congratulations to him, even if mentalism isn't exactly my cup of tea.
You have to admin, aside from the visuals , the magic is too lame and has been performed 45674567 times in that same very show to the same very judges !!!
He seems like a one trick pony, and this trick isn't even related to the magic..
My 2 cents as a video pro: the 3D animation is enhanced and cleaned up for the TV audience, the light he’s holding is used as tracking device so to attach the 3D animation to his hand, while those who see it live on stage see the images from a spinning Persistence of Vision holographic device. It’s not as beautiful as the enhanced version, but good enough for the live audience.
Yes, IT was a spinning led projection. Totally awesome combination. Making an golden oldie new again. Repeating this would be not a fresh unless he does some3thing completely different with it. And I agree. Remove the end. Only if you actually bring them on stage.
If you observe his actions behind Terry I kinda would go with talking to the bone.
Amazon has it!... It's call 3D Hologram Fan Display 65S. And is not cheap at all.
Thanks. He has the rotation of the blade sync'd to the cameras because there's no flicker. Unless tech has improved so much that flicker isn't an issue. Clever stuff though! :)
@@misterG2006 or perhaps they cleaned it up? The judges must have seen something but it may not have been exactly what we saw in the video.
@@misterG2006 You can't just make flicker go away without syncing it. This is my problem with this whole performance and one of several reasons I think AGT is mostly a staged show for entertainment.
@@daedalus25 100% staged show. Think about Shin Lim (sp?) and how the angles have to work or the trick doesn't work at all.
Wow, great find Joseph! That IS inexpensive. And funny thing is that the video demonstrating it on Amazon does NOT show a flicker. So maybe the one I saw in the shopping mall was inferior quality (or just because I was recording at the wrong FPS on my iPhone). BTW... (greedy smile slowly spreading across my face)... here is my Amazon Affiliate link for the 3D Hologram Fan!!! amzn.to/3rdts7U lol... so if 1,000 people can just please click on this... maybe I'll earn enough to buy a new bag of coffee.

Disagree about his wardrobe. It's terrible.
It’s not a video effect it’s a fan with led lights look closely
I'm speculating that the AGT "box" he placed on the table has programmable electronics and 3-D laser capabilities.
it possible, most holograms in music shows are made with lasers...that is the usual way to do it right.
I agree. The box was deliberately placed for the hologram light show which he then just needs to time and choreograph his moves.
Good guess. But it's just a LED fan. I bought one for a gift once it's super cool. If you slow down the video and concentrate you can see the slight distortion from the fan spinning fast.
Either way it had to be preprogrammed so his timing with it was incredible
@@TonyTheTemplar yep, i saw the led fan device on amazon, it's 1000 usd. It's a cool toy. It has four blades and each blade has a few tens of leds. It is used in advertising industry.
Stay away from the holograms. Mentalism should feel very minimal. This was far too gimmicky and technological, kind of ruins the purpose, IMO.
The idea of mentalism is that you’re reading someone’s actions, choices, manipulating those things, etc, and when using so much gimmicky shit, it makes it feel like a magic trick: whether or not that is human sleights or technological trickery. Think about it: if you just showed the audience you have something capable of making a hologram, then why wouldn’t the audience assume you can change photos or whatever.
Very visual and cool, but this one just doesn’t work for me.
yeah I could see it definitely makes the mentalism angle less believable.... good point. But it certainly did look cool! :)
@@JasonParkerMagic right. The visual was absolutely magical, and if he were going at this from the angle of a magic act, cool. Even Howie referred to it as a “trick”.
Colin Cloud walked this tightrope beautifully a few seasons ago.
Less is more, even if that visual was cool as hell and had me wondering what was going on the first time I watched it lol
I feel like the ending was pretty forced, sure he got a little extra applause but I don't think it's a valuable addition to the performance and there are other things he could have done like have his photo move to the stack of finalists.
Hi Jason! I started with you at around 60K subs for Fool Us and now I will always stay for your positive sunny attitude. I can be having the worst day ever and you always make me smile. I do zone out during Aesop though:)
15:31 #3 I agree with you completely. The only thing this proves is that the two photos were forced. Once we know they were forced everything else falls apart. The only part that isn't explains is how the host (can't remember his name) knew which two finalist to pick. Was he in on the performance? I hope not.
Random question answer getting in a brutal fight for second dealing at a casino and being caught
Hopefully doesn't involve any broken fingers! 😳
@@JasonParkerMagic lol
That looked like a rough trick but he pulled it off so smoothly. Also the "hologram" part (EDIT: looks like there was some strategic editing on the part of AGT, to hide when he brought the device out but apparently he was holding a fan the mimics the look of a hologram when viewed from the front). As far as how he communicated to Crews which names to write, I can only guess that it was written on the side of the pen - it was a big pen, and some sort of markings can be seen on it 9:05 when Crews turns the board around to show what he wrote.
Wow! That would be a great method! One which I didn't consider....
@@gernotg8480 Why don't you get in touch with him? Join his Patreon and you'll have his ear! Or just message him through RUclips. Good luck!
I'm pretty sure the song is from Edward Scissorhands!
yeah I'm pretty sure too... I put a link to it up in my pinned comment as well. Thanks for the confirmation! Now I'm even MORE pretty sure... :)
his clothes say ....ITS LAUNDRY DAY DAMMIT
😆
The hologram is called Persistance of Vision. Note the chair with a back, rather than a stool, that Terry sits on. There's a cloth or jacket over the back That's where takes the gadget from and then puts the gadget back after "returning Terry's brain".
At 7:14 you definitely see some lines spinning similar to the slimer video.
Ok, where to start. The ending with his picture under simon's cup, cheesy after the fact. If a picture, then maybe one of simon or terry.
Now, the passage tattooed on his arm. I know some who practice their art who are also totally enamored with the kabbala and would have a key phrase from the keys of solomon tattooed on their arm or above their heart. It might be the page that invokes spirits for what he desires to accomplish.
Notice when he fanned the cards, he stopped at a point for each of the ladies so they would only have that area to pick a card and since we did not see all of the faces to the cards, I suspect that in a couple of spots in the "deck" that there would be a bunch of the same card so each lady is sure to pull the card he wants them to pull.
Halographic imaging is becoming more and more complex so that if he had an oscillating generator using his body as an antenna and then aim the desire images to the hands so it would react with the specified frequencies needed to produce the image, that would be one way that it can be done and seen by all there in real life. If, in fact, he is actually using this method, then for sure he should not do it very often as it does cause radiation burns to the skin and can cause deep tissue and nerve damage.
This is the forced pick technique. If anyone "helped" it would have had to been Terry. Out of all the contestants he could have picked, what are the chances he would write down the exact correct ones? It always bugs me when they pick a judge or Terry to be part of the act.
I think the prediction at the end removes part of the magic because it shows it was a forced selection.
The use of the LED display is awesome and stunning tho
As for the prononciation of his name : still wrong :p sorry it's mi (like in minimum) coud (like in coup d'état)

"Hey, Terry, I'm happy to follow in the footsteps of Shin Lim" would have been easy to work into a pre-show conversation, but Kodi Lee was probably a bit harder.
Random Question Answer: W/ out any explanation what would my family assume I'd be arrested for? Shoplifting. 😆. What was yours??
I also saw that comment about the audience & didn't understand as well. 🤷🏻♀️.
So the hologram thing is sometimes called a projection fan they are typically used for advertisment signs that can show an object rotating, or play a video.They aren't cheap but the technology isn't really that complex. Its a blade of leds that blink quickly while spinning lol... i think they are finally becomming more affordable. Not sure.
Edit. Yeah what you saw was what he is using. Ive been hoping someone releases some freeware and does a diy...
Simple spinning LED-stick -- and people are awe-struck! :) Seriously, people -- it's on sell for several years, and not too expensive for that.
Greetings from Kyiv! Are you still here? It feels great having you as a guest. Not sure, but if you need some small help in Kyiv -- just reach out.
Forced picks: deck of photos with, say, 6 unique photos at the bottom to suggest they are "all different". On top of those are 10-15 Lin cards together and 10-15 Kode cards on top of those. Fan each respective cluster to Heidi & Sophia to force their "random" pick. The card under Simon's cup (I agree, pretty superfluous) was a preset based on the forced picks. Terry's participation was either per agreement for him to "help" with the act, or else subliminal (on pen, behind top page, conversation off stage, but still too much chance, and too many mentalists try to make you THINK they are masters of suggestion), or some editing trick where we saw Terry write those names in response to some other question which was not shown to the TV audience. I thought the hologram was cool and prolly be a signature until a judge complains about "we've already seen that".
The effect is made with a spinning display.
Cost 84$...
😂
That magician like electronics ..
6:35
*Kevin* : Now, I'm going to extract the mind of Terry...
*Terry* : Fool, you say what?? 🤨
😉
Hey Kevin! I'm glad you came by to say hello... or ...at least wink! :)
It was being projected from that AGT Finalists box you were admiring. Beyond that I have no clue.
I think everyone (including Jason) is getting too hung up on the visual razzle dazzle. Is it cool? Yes, but shouldn't we be doing more review and/or reaction on the actual mechanics of the illusion? It was a great "performance" and considering that magic is performance art this act was great, but let's admire more of that aspect and not get hung up on the shiny bits. Just my two cents. Thanks for the video Jason!
The special FX went from cool to cheesey pretty fast. A deck of cards and the microphone with a musical score. Those would cover a high percentage of AGT acts. Take that jacket off and he would be wearing a dress with leggings and pretty shoes. Was that a faded Polaroid at the end? I wasn't feeling his stage presence. Take away the French accent and the holograms and you get a run of the mill, crossdressing mentalist. Yes, I'm in a bad mood. On a positive note, Jason rocks!
This musics reminds me of Mercedes' lullaby from Pan's labyrinth sounddtrack. Maybe that was the tune you were thinking of. This movie is one of the best from Guillermo del Toro.
force + LED holographic spinner - really lame trick. Also force was very sloppy and so obvious. Seriously the weakest magician this season by far.
About those 2 names... 2 last winners of agt... that was not by chance among all finalists. Finalists are way more than winners. But who do you remember? Ofcourse the winners. And who do you remember more? Ofcourse the latests.
My guess is that part was just psychology and cards... yeah, forced.
But that doesn't mean the act wasn't great.
About the prediction card I agree. That was not necessary at all
Pretty cool outfit? I was waiting for you to mention his outfit. He looks like a pleb. Drainpipe jeans with cuts is one thing. Colourful trainers is another thing, but a low V neck t-shirt? Looks very camp. Still, whatever floats your boat I guess.
To me this performance came across as technically nice but quickly boring once you've seen it, the trick itself wasn't that awesome.
Like you mentioned, showing he already knew afterwards kinda kills it like... Hmm... now this trick falls apart because he basically denied his whole min reading illusion. There was no build up to raise tension which takes the amazement out of it too.
How Terry picked the right names, I do hear what you said there and I think you're right but that's not really a secret anymore since Derren Brown and "now you see me, now you don't"
Good trick, but it needs a bit of tweaking to leave some mystery for the audience.
Well, good act but like you say the last part was lame. Obviously the coat hanging on the chair enabled all the 3D hologram stuff somehow but still cool. As to follow up acts how do you top that? Don't watch TV so if doesn't show up on the 'Tube I won't know. Or care. Was hoping you had answer as to the "how".
Great visual effects. Great use of a hologram fan. Sure it's been said already.Just search "hologram fan"
Ok, I know this is a year old now and probably figured out by now, but I just saw this act on another channel for the first time and went looking for how’d he do that videos and found this. The other video was garbage!
Anyhoo… I looked through your comments and didn’t see it mentioned, but I did notice on yours though that I didn’t on the others when you pointed out the box on the judges table that there were three blue lights coming out of it, I bet those lights were what made his hologram brain happen and the mechanism was hidden inside the box. Which also tells me that I think they had some knowledge before filming, which could also be the reason that Terry knew what the photos were!
I think you have simply difficulties to say he was just the best mentalist you've ever seen. Second, you are talking in such way that I smell jealousy heheheh. Hologram was something to make the show more interesting and it was really out of box thinking, I love it, but how come you are trying to advice him to use hologram again or not ? come on man . I don't mind critics from people but as I said you sound very jealousy . we should be in his level of expertise or at least close to his level to give him proactive advices to improve himself not just a RUclips video to tell people how they can improve themselves. sorry I sounds very critical to you but you said you will hear what we think ....
however I hope you will do RUclips videos in a more proactive and positive way not ........
Why would any of the judges including Terry Crews be a stooge ? The audience eventually have a vote in moving the contestants to the next round. If anyone in the AGT staff secretly helps the contestants, wouldn’t that constitute fraud?
Jason, at the one minute a time stamp mark, I would like to say that your signage does not line up to your words. I read your sign language and I’ll just simply say, thank you for the comment. I don’t want to say anything more, to embarrass you.
I’ve had five brain surgeries, after my accident. If only my surgeon could have accessed my brain that easily.
This names were obvious especially since its within the "magic" group. Am not intrigued nor fascinated by any of it. And yes the hologram as well; Its available to purchase and programme them to display anything u want.
Ok, so the reveal at the end obviously shows that both cards were forced. Even a superlame stack would work, as he never shuffled or showed the deck (apart from a couple of cards). The fancy 3d led display was attached to the chair, using it was a nice idea, but no skills needed from the magician. Since the cards were forced, Terry was an easy stooge. This trick was flat as hell, a complete beginner could do it after a couple of hours of practice.
I’m confused as to why a show called America's Got Talent allows people from other countries to compete? Doesn't that completely contradict the title of the show? Anyway mentalist acts always make me cringe. Clearly he uses Jedi magic when having the judges choose a card and Terry is most likely a stooge in the act. The hologram thing was cool but probably just a gadget that you get online that he created a video to watch.
Yeah I didn't like the card reveal at the end with the prediction. It really indicates that he was using some Jedi powers on the judges. Especially since he didn't do any work really (or maybe it was edited out for time) to make the judges selection seem fair. I am just not sure how he got Terry to write down the names. Since he was using Jedi powers on the judges he could have done some pre work. Really just kind of wish he did more to disguise the Jedi mind tricks. Those visuals were pretty cool though. I hope he does a much larger projection or maybe even multiple projections in his next performance. It would be cool if he could pick a musician or some other famous person from the mind of the judges and then have a projection of them on stage.
Are you somehow related to Andrew Lancaster Impressionist ?twin maybe?JK bro Jk haha..
The editing on this programme is so piss poor, who knows if it was tampered with by the production staff. When filming magic there should NEVER be cuts.
pictures forced. real trick was making him write the right names down. Maybe did some homework and found a connection. That's the really cool part. You are not really fooling people. closest thing to real magic imho.
I think around 7:20 the camera angle shows that this is actually a flat image. Just looks 3D from up front. There's a video by Jazza where he works with the device that is likely used here to make holograms.
I posted on but thought I should come up with a different arrest....so my family and friends wouldn't believe it to begin with. They'd have to see it on news or just busted. Even then they wouldn't believe
Terry : He pretended to write, but not very good. AT 8:54 you can see from the positions of the hands, that he is writing on 1/3 line from the top, while the name is sitting on 1/2. Still, it was a nice trick.
The music you refer to I think is from Pan's Labyrinth, a Spanish movie which is really great!
The piece of music, I believe, was Second Nature by Michael Smorawinski (sp?).

maybe they assumed that i was traveling anywhere without ticket and have fight with control organs and they wetre call the police... this is the only reason not DRUGS ok
I wonder what Penn & Teller would have to say about this act😥. Do you think Kevin also knows Miss Minutes? And I agree, the card at the end isn't needed
Im not a magician but i watched several magic revealing Videos. For what i have seen...the basic card trick from that performer is easy to figure out...its a siple trick that i dont like because terry was involved in this trick (he was told by the magician the two names he had to write down..look at is acting and you can see his not authentic reaction in his face...and that is a too easy fake for calling it a magic trick or mentalism). But the visual effect looks great.
But for being such a simple trick it is not even worth to make a reaction video about it !!!
I'm a bit surprised that how he did it is a mystery to anyone. You can see what he's holding and you see how he takes off the back of the chair Terry is sitting on, and how he puts it back there. It is a transparent display and borderless display. You can buy TVs that are transparent. When off, they are just like a window. But they have a border because that is where the non transparent power and other bits are located. For this one, the non-transparent bit is in the middle, where he is holding it and his hand prevents you from noticing that bit.
The whole brain idea transfer thing is just a basic forced choice on the card pick. As soon as you realize they did not pick random cards, but instead exactly the two he wanted them to pick, there's no mystery to how anything else happened.
Well almost. Terry naming them makes me think Terry was in on it and was instructed to write those names, and was asked before hand to be part of the act.
Pre-show work = NLP suggestion plants. Talk about his shin, etc etc
This Trick is brought to you by Sonic Drive-in.
😆
Half of the deck contains Kodi Lee photo. The other half of shin Lim. And a few on top which he showed. So, the choice was forced. That's my guess. Buti have no idea why or how Terry knew.
So at 12:49, the whiteboard kind of... "whites out". Haven't seen anyone in the comments mention this, but if you freeze the frame, you can see a bunch of smears and stuff.
I can't tell how he got Terry to write the correct things though, but that board is fishy.
I DID see Terry's arm move for "LIM" at the ending shot of him writing, so he definitely wrote it.
I can't put it together, exactly, but I'm pointing out what I saw.
Probably the toughest part of the trick to dial in was getting Terry to write it
He should use the Hologram but in a more epic way or bigger in size deployment.
Jason, I disagree - his outfit looks hideous, he's just attractive enough to make me forgive the fashion faux pas.
Option A and B aren’t even close. The answer is he has developed mental abilities aka psychic or psionic abilities. Comparable to the abilities that Jesus had, among many others
It is called POV LED lights. It uses speed and the way our eyes work that keep the image burned in the back of the eye until a new images take it over. The speed matter in this. They are awesome but not used enough.
When a magician uses a judge, they might not pre arrange the outcome. They are judges. But what if Terry is ok to be part of the act and pre-informed on what to do during the performance? I am just saying.
I think that Terry knew something because his handwriting is off. He wrote both of their names so differently...
They'd definitely assume I was arrested for computer crimes😂😂😂😂😂

I hate the sappy music with AGT. Lol liked the trick, but the music makes not wanna watch this show.
I agree the "prediction" makes no sense. I would think the judges would also realize that there was no need to "pick it from her brain" as he could just tell the scribe his prediction ahead of time.
The writing on the white board was off, it wasn’t written well and probably it was carved before terry writing the names
I think that the deck of cards was tricked i mean he shows to the judges only some of the last card that was really different but in fact the top half of the deck was only containing the two performers that terry choose and he forced in some ways the two judges in order to both have a different performer and its probably why there was only two performers choosen for the trick! But i still didn’t figured out why terry had been able to write the two performer names!
If I was arrested for no reason I would be either Black or Brown and I would tell my family that the rouge cops had done it again, that's if I hadn't been killed before I could tell them
Why were the names of the contestants written in the board in different tones of color and completely different handwriting?!?
Aesop: a bird's song in daytime became his _swan song_
I completely agree with you, the prediction at the end was unnecessary. All it does is to confirm that he's a Jedi as you said. Without it, the trick was more open-ended. I wonder if this had been Penn and Teller, if he had been recommended to cut that part as I know that they help the magicians to improve their acts.
BS. Mentalism is BS but this guy even more BS. Did I say BS? Yeah.
Does anybody know what happened to this guy? He never came back after his first audition and I cant find anything on the internet why.
He used or made something like a hologram fan which you can purchase on Amazon. Just my guess
