Lim had initially become interested in the art of doing magic tricks through his older brother named Yi. Yi had shown him a card trick that Lim later looked through on Youtube. After this, Lim started watching Youtube videos one after another. He eventually started practicing different magic tricks too and looked at existing star magicians such as David Blaine whose performances were very impressive from the perspective of Shin Lim.

However, he would be diagnosed with a condition called carpal tunnel syndrome. He continued to focus on improving his skills and started to develop his own tricks as well once he had understood all the fundamentals. In 2012, he would then perform during the Fédération Internationale des Sociétés Magiques where he finished in the sixth position. Though this was not the result he expected since he had higher expectations, it led to him getting exposure.

Lim then met with an agent who offered him to tour in different parts of China. He decided to reiterate his show workflow as now his performances had music but not any narration adding a sense of curiosity among the fans about what might come next.

Lim then won the World Championship in 2015 and was also asked to be part of the show called Penn & Teller: Fool Us. By now, Lim was convinced that he wanted to do magic giving his full dedication. However, he had a setback after injuring two tendons on his left thumb which started to emerge doubts over whether his career might be over if he cannot get a proper recovery.

Thankfully, the surgery went well for Lim which led to a comeback. Yet, his biggest win so far was during America’s Got Talent where he was the winner and walked away with $1 million as the cash prize. Furthermore, he also participated in the first edition of America’s Got Talent: The Champions where he would be declared as the winner. Lim’s popularity skyrocketed after being involved in these shows which are watched by millions of people.

Personal Life

Having been born in Canada and then grown up in America, Shin Lim is privileged to have dual citizenship. Lim became engaged with Casey Thomas after they met in 2015 during the time that he was on a tour. After four years of announcing their engagement, they finally decided to get married in 2019.
