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.

    Simply Amazing

    by JDL78 on 3/26/24The Mirage Theatre - Las Vegas

    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.

    Don't let yourself blink, you won't believe!

    by SusanC on 3/25/24The Mirage Theatre - Las Vegas

    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.

    Spectacular and Mind bending

    by Monica on 3/21/24The Mirage Theatre - Las Vegas

    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.

    Best show in Vegas

    by AGT Fan on 3/20/24The Mirage Theatre - Las Vegas

    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.

    More than just a magic show!

    by Zodiart on 3/20/24The Mirage Theatre - 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.

    Overall boring

    by Family with Teens on 3/19/24The Mirage Theatre - Las Vegas

    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.

    SHIN LIM concert was awesome!

    by l_e_gantt on 3/14/24The Mirage Theatre - Las Vegas

    Shin Lim is thought to be the #1 sleight of hand entertainer. He is that. And he is the champion of the AGT show for a reason. Very entertaining. He paired with a mentalist from AGT that was not only very good, but also very funny. We totally loved the show!

    Amazing show and super talented magician

    by Kurt from Las Vegas on 3/13/24The Mirage Theatre - Las Vegas

    The Shin Lim show is amazing. Mr. Lim is such a talent and his magic is exceptional. This is the second time I’ve seen his show and it just keeps getting better and better as his talent. I will go back to see this show again and again. The venue is great. I had amazing seats second row, and, the Magic is on the same level as David Copperfield just done in a different way of course. He could easily be the next David Copperfield. Congratulations Shin on having such an amazing show!!

    How Did He Do That?

    by Eb on 3/12/24The Mirage Theatre - Las Vegas

    Second time we’ve seen him during our visit to LV. He is very talented at his craft and leaves you in awe. How did he do that??? His first “trick” with cards on the chair backs is probably my favorite. Collin Cloud is always great, as well. He is great and quick with his audience. I’m glad to see him interspersed during the show, rather than a one-time act. I highly recommend the show. Thank you.

    Entertaining

    by Magic Fan on 3/11/24The Mirage Theatre - Las Vegas

    It was an entertaining show overall. The highlight was Colin Cloud. He lit up the theater whenever on stage. Shin Lim is very talented, but his playing card illusions got repetitive. It felt like Shin Lim was into himself, whereas Cloud was into the audience.

    Loved it

    by TS on 3/10/24The Mirage Theatre - Las Vegas

    Great show for everyone. Seeing Colin was an extra special bonus. Love them both. My only suggestion is to adjust the camera showing table tricks to get closer and the stage was a bit too dark

    Awesome show, Magical!

    by Linda on 3/10/24The Mirage Theatre - Las Vegas

    We loved the show. We saw Shim Lin as he was our entertainment at our ACCESS National conference a few years ago. He has added a lot to his show and it didn’t disappoint. I could watch him for hours. Also loved Collin Cloud, he is extremely quick witted and funny! Collin will be our entertainment at our conference this year, May 2024. If you haven’t seen Shin, you need to go!
