Introduction

Shin Lim is a Canadian-American magician who rose to fame after winning America’s Got Talent in 2018.

He had already appeared on the Penn & Teller Show and had amassed an impressive following on YouTube before his appearance on the hit talent show, but his win proved to be a turning point in his career.

As well as a significant amount in prize money, his win has also landed him a long-term residency in Las Vegas, which has contributed to his sizeable net worth. 

The Origin Story

Shin Lim was born Liang-Shun Lim on September 25, 1991, in Vancouver, British Colombia.

He holds dual Canadian and American citizenship and is born to Singaporean parents. 

His father moved to Canada to complete his postgraduate studies before returning to Singapore while Lim was still young.

The family then returned to North America when Lim was 11, settling in Actor, Massachusetts. 

Lim was a talented musician from a young age but was inspired to try out magic when his older brother showed him a basic card trick at home.

He admits to being inspired by David Blaine as he used to watch his performances on TV. 

He attended the Lee School of Music but was diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome when he was 20, which forced him to choose between music and magic. He took a break from his musical studies, which is how he was able to forge a career as a musician. 

After enjoying the fame that has arisen since his appearance on America’s Got Talent, Lim has settled down in Boston, Massachusetts.
