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.
A little disappointing
by AS on 9/25/23The Mirage Theatre - Las VegasRating: 3 out of 5Shin Lim is a talented sleight of hand magician, though we found it was hard to translate that into a theater show. He has an intriguing story, but that was the basis of the show and it went into so much detail, that we would have rather seen more magic. Audience interaction was a little awkward. Overall, the show seems average.
Shin Lim
by BABSH on 9/25/23The Mirage Theatre - Las VegasRating: 5 out of 5Awesome show! Magic is real! Lots of audience participation, including one magic where the entire audience participated.
Good
by Anon on 9/25/23The Mirage Theatre - Las VegasRating: 2 out of 5I give him credit for being very talented. He is very good. He could benefit from being a bit more relaxed on stage and having fun with the show. There were several awkward moments, going with the flow of involving the audience, reacting to curveballs they throw that you don't expect, and there were a few magic errors in the performance. These things appeared to affect him more than I would have expected, and it impacted the overall performance. With that being said, he is still very talented, I was happily entertained, and I do not expect any magician to ever match his performance. I think he may just need a few more runs to get used to performing in front of a large audience, or maybe he was nervous that night.

Better Than I Hoped For
by Judith on 9/21/23The Mirage Theatre - Las VegasRating: 5 out of 5I have followed Shim Lim since his first appearance on AGT. I have followed his career since those first life changing appearances. I knew the show would be incredible but it far exceeded my expectations! Colin Cloud was a favorite on AGT as well and the two put on a show that was so excellent I may come see it again and again!
Incredible
by Rinnymc on 9/21/23The Mirage Theatre - Las VegasRating: 5 out of 5A very entertaining show with lots of audience participation! Extra bonus with Colin Cloud, the talented mind reader. Shin and Colin combine humor and skill to present a mind blowing show for all ages! Plenty of laughter and awe along with lasting memories. DON’T miss this one!

Shim Lim Show
by Silvia on 9/19/23The Mirage Theatre - Las VegasRating: 5 out of 5Shim Lim and mentalist Colin Cloud where fabulous. Total worth seeing this show.
Excellent show! Would highly recommend it!
by Leslee V on 9/18/23The Mirage Theatre - Las VegasRating: 5 out of 5Loved the show. Great show for families. Shim Lin is amazing.
Absolutely brilliant! Recommend it to everyone!
by AnnJ on 9/17/23The Mirage Theatre - Las VegasRating: 5 out of 5We really enjoyed this show! Shin Lim's sleight of hand is incredible! He performed so many illusions that were just so impressive. And whoever thought to pair him with Colin Cloud is a genius! Colin's funny, relaxed personality is a complete contrast to Shin Lim's more serious (slightly awkward) act, and adds a frequent, light-hearted element to the show. Colin's mentalist "feats"are mind-blowing too. Just a brilliant show. We'd go again, and definitely recommend it to everyone.
Don’t miss this show
by Chris B on 9/14/23The Mirage Theatre - Las VegasRating: 5 out of 5Shim Lin and Colin Cloud put on show you will not forget. Shim Lin is in a league of his own and the best card magician I’ve ever seen. Colin Cloud will blow you away with his mental magic. Don’t leave Vegas without seeing this show!!

One of the Best Shows in Vegas!!
by Marilyn on 9/12/23The Mirage Theatre - Las VegasRating: 5 out of 5This show was amazing!!! We had front row seats and everything was still unreal to witness. He is so quick and mistake-free. He added in the Mentalist who was also on AGT and he added a whole new dimension to this show. Both acts performed well above our expectations and left the crowd scratching our heads wondering how in the world they did what they did. We have seen many shows in Vegas and this one is near the top of our list for Must See!!! Do not miss seeing this one. It is one of the very best I have ever seen.
Boring
by Sh0equeen$ on 9/10/23The Mirage Theatre - Las VegasRating: 1 out of 5I guess if you know anything about magic you will see just how terrible this show is. However if you do not you may find it mildly entertaining.
