World-renowned magician Shin Lim made an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and left the audience in awe with his mind-blowing card tricks. As a two-time champion of “America’s Got Talent,” Shin Lim has established himself as a master of illusions.
Shin Lim recently kicked off his new Las Vegas residency, “Limitless,” at the Palazzo Theater in the Venetian Resort. With a total of 714 shows under his belt at the Mirage, Shin Lim decided it was time to move to a bigger and better venue. The Palazzo Theater, which was renovated specifically for his show, boasts a $9 million makeover.
During his interview with Jimmy Fallon, Shin Lim expressed his excitement about the new theater and how it has elevated his show to new heights. He couldn’t contain his enthusiasm as he described how the performance has evolved and become even better than before. The Venetian provided the perfect platform for Shin Lim to showcase his incredible talent.
Not only did Shin Lim make headlines with his Vegas residency, but he also received a surprise honor on October 17th. In a show of appreciation, Las Vegas declared it “Shin Lim Day” and presented him with a key to the Las Vegas Strip. While Shin Lim was grateful for the recognition, it was his outfit during the ceremony that caught everyone’s attention.
As expected, Shin Lim wowed the audience with his card tricks on the show. With just a deck of cards from a local convenience store, he demonstrated his impeccable skill. Jimmy Fallon, who is known for his love of magic, was just as amazed as the audience as he watched Shin Lim perform various card manipulations.
One of the tricks involved Shin Lim showcasing his ability to deal cards from different positions in the deck. He seamlessly executed moves like second dealing and bottom dealing, leaving Jimmy and the audience dumbfounded. To add to the excitement, Shin Lim even introduced the concept of “laser dealing,” a visually stunning maneuver that had everyone gasping in disbelief.
In another mind-boggling trick, Shin Lim engaged Questlove, the drummer of The Roots, in a demonstration. He shuffled the deck and had Questlove choose a suit – spades. Shin Lim then proceeded to deal the cards into ten different piles, with each pile containing the exact number of cards to match its number. To everyone’s astonishment, when Shin Lim revealed the spades pile, the only card left was the 6 of spades.
But Shin Lim was not finished yet. With a flick of his wrist, he made the 6 of spades vanish from the pile. To the audience’s amazement, Questlove found the missing card in his very own pocket. It was an unbelievable moment that left everyone questioning the boundaries of reality.
Shin Lim‘s appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon was nothing short of magical. His intricate card tricks and flawless execution continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
