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.
As he tells his life story throughout the performance, you learn about his disappointments and what he was destined to become in life…a true showman of magic! Make this the show to see, because you will not want to miss it! Next time, I will be in the front row, well worth it.
The performance was exceptional and very immersive. I'd love to see more like it in the future.
It’s hard to leave a review without giving things away but this show is unbelievable. Not only is Shin Lim incredible but his partner Colin Cloud is equally incredible. See this show!
I was expecting a good show. What I got was an amazing, awesome show! The addition of Colin was an unexpected bonus!
No Vegas trip is complete until you see Shin Lim. Great performance by him and others.
You know it’s magic, yet, we were in disbelief how Shin does what he does. I’ve seen many magicians in Vegas and he’s one of, if not the BEST, for close up magic. Colin only adds more “magic” and fun! It’s truly a one of a kind experience, one that actually made us feel “emotional”, it was memorable in every way!!
From the moment the show started to the moment it ended you are on the edge of your seat. The audience is brought together and involved in the show (only if they want) and it is spectacular!!!
One of the best Shows I've seen in Vegas! Well worth it.
Shim speaks to low. Lacked energy. I nearly fell asleep
We totally enjoyed the show. He is amazing! Right along with Colin Cloud. Recommend you see it!!
Fantastic Show Beautiful Venue Highly Recommended
Absolutely wonderful magic! Shim Lim is amazing and Colin Cloud was every bit as good! Two for the price of one! I have down close up magic and these guys are off the charts! Go!
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!
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 mind blowing than watching Shin Lim online. Has me at the edge of my seat the whole time. Would definitely recommend it to everyone.
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.
This show was fantastic and flawlessly executed. I would highly recommend to anyone.
One of the BEST shows we have seen in Las Vegas ! Thank You So Much Shin Lim and Colin Cloud GREAT TIME ! LIMITLESS
I didn’t know what to expect and this was actually excellent. The tricks were amazing. His presence was so much fun, love his hair, and the other comedian was really really, really good too. It was just overall a very pleasant fun great show. The show was presented very very well. Funny too. I’d urge anybody to go.
Impressive! Would recommend seeing Shin Lim. His wife is also a very skilled aerial dancer who performs a bit. Beautiful.
