Shin Lim on Tour
Catching Shin Lim in the act is unlike watching any other magician perform. Instead of making people disappear or sawing them in half, he simply concentrates on card tricks. But he raises the level of his sleight of hand with a deck of cards to a fine art.
There's drama, music, and a kind of a ballet to Lim's magic. And he's known for performing his illusions without uttering a word, letting his hands and his cards do all the talking while his carefully curated music — Lim started out as a musician — tickles the audience's ears. If you've seen him in one of his many television appearances, be it Penn & Teller: Fool Us, America's Got Talent, or Jimmy Kimmel Live, then you've experienced only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to a Shin Lim live performance.
Shin Lim Background
Born in Vancouver to Singaporean parents and raised in Massachusetts, Shin Lim had two passions in his youth: music and magic. He was studying music in college when he learned that he was suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome. This discovery caused him to abandon playing the piano in favor of becoming a professional magician.
He got one of his first big breaks when he was given the chance to tour in China. Since he didn't speak the language, he kept silent during his tricks, and that practice became a signature of his shows. Bringing a bold, unprecedented artistry to the realm of card tricks, Lim really began to hit it big when he worked his magic on TV's Penn & Teller: Fool Us in 2015. The performance became a social media sensation that elevated his profile dramatically. Since then, he's frequently appeared on TV, twice becoming a winner on America's Got Talent. And he tours widely, taking his illusions everywhere from Las Vegas to Broadway.
He is very talented at card tricks! It would be nice to see him do other magic.
This was a great show. Shin Lim's close up magic is just mind-blowing. He had a mentalist on his show too and he was both hilarious and amazing. Definitely book this show if you are in Vegas.
The show was amazing and so exciting!! Would definitely recommend to everyone. I would also watch it again.
While we came with no expectation this was the most impressive magician show we have ever seen. The combination of Shin-Lim and the Mentalist Colin Cloud was especially fascinating. Both of them are masters of their trade. Not only the magical acts but also the atmosphere created were very special - Shin Lim was our favorite show during this week-long vacation.
Awesome show and was really nice to meet him he's a very nice guy!
Loved this show! My favorite in Las Vegas. Both Shin Lim and Colin Cloud are both amazing! Their energy and how they keep people engaged the whole show It's just amazing. Highly recommended it.
From the time Shin Lim walked on stage to the end it was non stop entertainment. Awesome! I will see it again!
This show was amazing and mesmerizing. We loved it so much. It was the best show we saw on our Las Vegas vacation! You don’t want to miss it!
I read a bunch of the reviews and being that it is a magic show, the closer to the front the better. My 15 year old son and me enjoyed the show a lot! Shin is incredible with playing cards!
Shin Lim was definitely a show I will never forget. It was a show stopper. Never a dull moment. I was blown away by everything and all the magic. Its a story that will leave you not believing your eyes. Just remember hard work, practice, and dedication will pay off. Definitely go see Shin Lim and his co stars you will not want to miss this talent.
My son and I really enjoy the Shin Lim magic show. It is definitely my all time favorite show. I would recommend everyone to see the show.
This was an extremely fun show for everyone. Shin Lim brought in other performers to round out the show and make it something for everyone. The 90 minute show flew by and it was over before we knew it. Would definitely recommend it for families.
The performance was amazing. Shin is such a great performer with the story of how he started through the competitions that helped him get to where he is today. The Mentalist was unbelievable with his predictions, you know you are in for questioning everything. At this level the night is phenominal. Shin's wife added grace and talent by performing on the ring; her incorporation of elegance and magic to the night is a treat. She is so graceful and how she adds magic to the stage, bravo! So glad we finally saw Shin and will schedule this one as a repeat.
This show NEEDS to be seen! It was our last show of the week and we did not see much advertisement on the strip, so you will not be reminded once you are down there. What a surprise to find out that Colin the Mentalist takes turns with Shin's magic. I don't want to give anything away, but know this: there are 3 screens to watch the upclose card tricks, so you won't miss anything. The theatre has no blind spots in it so any seat is good. We picked middle about 10 rows back.
Shin Lim and guest Colin Cloud is a MUST when in Vegas!!! Get the best seats that you can afford, you will NOT be disappointed. The BEST show in town…guaranteed!
Amazing first rate show and worth more than the ticket price. Shin Lim is a master at his art and in addition, we were treated to Colin Cloud's wit, humor and ability to read minds. Shin Lim's aerialist wife was the cherry on the sundae of a jaw dropping evening at the MIrage. I would definitely see this again the next time we're in Las Vegas.
Loved the show. It gave out so much more. Shin lim himself really mastered his craft. Aside from the tricks. He also created a well told story and music. His guest performers were amazing. Shin lim displayed to the crowd how some card tricks can be done with just math alone but when it came to his own performance it really baffled me on how he is able to do it while beforehand he showed how vulnerable tricks can be with math alone. He dares to defy you're expectations. Making the believable unbelievable. Overall beautiful performance and amazing display of his skills. It has everything and more when watching the show. I will support this man for life.
The show was overall pretty boring. The card tricks were hard to see, could only watch on the screen and still hard to tell what’s going on. Storyline was boring. I expected something much more impressive.
This magic extravaganza surpassed all expectations, leaving spectators in awe and applause. The performance was not only about the magic tricks themselves but also about the connection forged between the magician and his audience. The stage design was cleverly crafted to enhance each illusion, ensuring that every moment was visually captivating. In conclusion, the show delivered an unforgettable evening of enchantment and wonder. It showcased the art of magic in its purest form, captivating audiences with its spellbinding performances and leaving them yearning for more. For anyone seeking an escape from the ordinary, this magical extravaganza is an absolute must-see. Love it!
Shim Lim was good, think he should have been a backup 2nd though..
