FISM Italy 2025 Ambassador
Shin Lim is the rare, young performing artist with the ability to choreograph magical routines synchronized to music.
Since his viral youtube video in July 2015 on The Penn and Teller Fool Us TV Show (over 23 million views to-date), this upcoming and rising card artiste extraordinaire Shin Lim is redefining the way CloseUp magic is presented.
Born in Canada, raised in Singapore, and now living in Boston, USA, Shin Lim started magic late at 16 years old after being stumped by his oldest brother who showed him a simple card trick.
Within a span of a few years, the classically trained concert pianist transitioned from winning major youth magic awards – the World Teen CloseUp Magic Champion (2010) in Las Vegas and USA National People’s Choice magic awards to finally be crowned the FISM World Champion in Card Magic in Italy (2015 Magic Olympics).
Besides being respected for his skilled poetic performance by his peers and esteemed magicians, Shin Lim is also a creative inventor of new/improved sleight of hand techniques and magic tricks. He is now an inspiration to many young magicians worldwide.
Be mesmerized by Shin’s musical magic as many others all over the world have been mystified from the Las Vegas of USA to Macau- the Las Vegas of Asia.
