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.
Did the meet and greet. Shin Lim very personable and humble.
This was our third time, the first two get canceled due to covid. It was worth the wait. Reasonable price, Shin Lin is real good and the 2 other magicians all .are for a fin night.
Highly recommended ! This is a must do when in Vegas!!
Shin Lim was good. He was not very personable. Colin Cloud was excellent. His banter was disarming and his magic amazing.
He is amazing. Along with hus wife and mentalist Collin. Seating is good but be careful on seating way to left or right as some view is ibstructed
Shin Lim & Colin Cloud were both unbelievable. Highly recommend this show.
The show was ok. The mentalist that was helping Shin Lim was better than the star of the show. I don’t not recommend going and watching the show as it was boring. People continued to get up to leave and security was not helping the situation. People in the audience were texting and security was running up and down and shinning extremely blinding lights to let people know to get off their phones. Then they would stand on the stairs in the way while you were trying to see but couldn’t since they were obstructing the view. I do not recommend it there is way better shows out there in Vegas then this one.
We went here for a bachelor party and had a blast. Shin was phenomenal and his show is a must see!
He is very talented at card tricks! It would be nice to see him do other magic.
This was a great show. Shin Lim's close up magic is just mind-blowing. He had a mentalist on his show too and he was both hilarious and amazing. Definitely book this show if you are in Vegas.
