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.

    by Mickey on 5/12/24The Mirage Theatre - Las Vegas

    Shin Lim was AMAZING! Colin cloud was hilarious and a master of his craft. Shin Lim bringing his wife out to showcase her talent was a nice surprise. A must see show when visiting Vegas!

    Amazing

    by PinkHulaSkirts on 5/10/24The Mirage Theatre - Las Vegas

    This show was wonderful and amazing. Both Shin Lim and Colin Cloud really gave an amazing performance. I've been a fan since both of them appeared on AGT and while I had seen some of the tricks on TV, it was incredible to see in person. The one thing that I didn't care for was the story that Shin told- it was prior to his AGT appearance and just wasn't for me. Overall, I'm glad I went and had a good time.

    Even More Amazing the 2nd Time

    by Denise D on 5/7/24The Mirage Theatre - Las Vegas

    This is the second Shin Lim show I have attended. There were some tricks from both Shin Lim and Colin Cloud I had not seen previously. We left the show in awe of both of these gentlemen and truly enjoyed the show and their stage presence. I highly recommend this show to people of all ages, it will leave you doubting your eyesight. We had meet & greet with our tickets and Mr. Lim is a gracious person, truly a joy to have met him.
