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.

  • Best Show I Have Ever Seen!

    by Carol from Michigan on 11/12/23The Mirage Theatre - Las VegasRating: 5 out of 5

    We spent the extra money and got 2nd row center seats, and it was the best decision we could have made! Shin Lim is amazing! And sitting so close, you can see everything he is doing, and what he is doing is purely magic. It was a great show and even though Shin Lim is extremely popular, he appears very humble and appreciative of his success. If you get the chance, don't miss this show!

  • Great show! First Class show!

  • Save your money not recommended!!!

    by GJ on 11/8/23The Mirage Theatre - Las VegasRating: 1 out of 5

    It was very sad and cheesy, seriously save your money. It was embarrassing, wish I had my 500 dollars back. The only good part of the show was the warm up act Colin Cloud. Definitely not worth the money or the time.

  • The show was absolutely awesome

    by King Rock on 11/8/23The Mirage Theatre - Las VegasRating: 5 out of 5

    From the beginning to the end total engagement. When you say sleight of hand Shim is one of the best I have seen.

  • Entertaining Show!

    by Anonymous on 11/8/23The Mirage Theatre - Las VegasRating: 4 out of 5

    The show was casual, interactive and fun. Although Shin Lim was the headliner, Colin Cloud really stole the show. Cloud was witty and funny - and delivered an impressive and amazing array of surprises! The venue and AV production is a bit underwhelming --especially when compared to other shows in Vegas, but overall, it was an entertaining evening.

  • Left wanting more

    by G4 on 11/5/23The Mirage Theatre - Las VegasRating: 3 out of 5

    He is clearly exceptionally talented. The sleight of hand is second to none. But, this performance is meant to be be seen on a table in front of you. Missing some of the live performance pizazz it needed. His sidekick was more fun in my humble opinion. Didn’t like sitting there at the end wondering, is that it?

  • Magnificent magic show

    by Pareader on 11/1/23The Mirage Theatre - Las VegasRating: 5 out of 5

    Loved this show. Shin Lim was amazing. Sitting close enough to watch him and the cards but no idea how he did what he did. Colin Cloud was entertaining. Give the show an A+ and highly recommend.

  • good show

    by ES on 10/30/23The Mirage Theatre - Las VegasRating: 4 out of 5

    Shin Lim is great. However it is card tricks and him touching his hair. Colin Clous was outstanding. We had great seats and the magic is amazing. But pretty limited in presentation.

  • Shin-Lim and Colin are Fantastic!

    by Wendy from Canada on 10/28/23The Mirage Theatre - Las VegasRating: 5 out of 5

    Amazing!! Both Shin-Lim and Colin are the best in their field! I saw 4 shows in Vegas, and this one was the best! If you only get a chance to see one show...this one should be it!!

  • An incredible show!

    by Andrew on 10/28/23The Mirage Theatre - Las VegasRating: 5 out of 5

    I won’t give away any spoilers. Suffice to say, there’s a reason Shin Lim fooled Penn and Teller. He partners with Colin Cloud, who is an excellent magician and quite funny too. As a team, they make a fantastic show!

  • Shin Lim was Fantastic

  • Shin Lim

    by Lisa on 10/26/23The Mirage Theatre - Las VegasRating: 5 out of 5

    We had front row seats but the show is done so we’ll that you don’t need to worry if you’re a bit further away it’s fine. He’s a great entertainer and his side kick was just as good.. they complement each other! Throughly enjoy the show..
