Shin Lim at Terry Fator Theatre
When two-time America’s Got Talent champ and sleight-of-hand wizard Shin Lim takes the stage at the Mirage this week, he’s hoping it will be the beginning of a long and beautiful relationship with Las Vegas. “I want to make the most of it,” he says. “It’s kind of like I’ve been given this lucky draw, and I don’t want it to go to waste. I just want to take the opportunity to see myself grow as a magician. Who knows, I might change it up and make things even bigger. We’ll see.”
If Lim does follow in the footsteps of his room’s predecessors Siegfried & Roy—though a better comparison might be Lance Burton, another close-up specialist—to become the next great Vegas magic act, it will be on his own terms. “Sleight-of-hand is what I’m known for and it’s what I’ll continue to do, but I want to be able to immerse the whole theater and make everything be a part of it. I think along the lines of shows like KÀ, something artistic that really makes an impact. That’s what I want to go for.” May 31- June 2, 7:30 p.m., $66-$88. –Brock Radke
