He is one of the few acts that I would pay to go see!

Recently we saw Shin Lim in a holiday illusionist show in NYC. He was outstanding.

 

Colin Cloud, who also appeared on AGT Champions last week, was also part of the show.

Wow!  I liked him so much last season.  I'm not watching the Champions but am glad to see he's still on.  How many are left now, and when do they announce the winner?


@NickNack They just finished narrowing down the top 10 for the finals- that starts next week. Tthere's supposedly a 'surprise announcement' then. I'm thinking it'll be a wildcard pick.

@Mombo1-

I was thinking the same thing when I saw him last night. I could watch him all day!

When I first saw him I thought he was incredible and each time he just is magical.Woman LOL

His hand movements are mesmerizing.

I remember they showed a clip of him saying he had studied to be a pianist but then was 

diagnosed with carpal tunnel which can be really painful, so decided to go into magic.

He is self-taught and said he watched youtube videos to learn and has shared some on youtube!

I'll have to watch thoseSmiley Happy

I think he could win the whole thing too!

I do love Sal, and had hoped he'd go into the finals, but I don't think his mac the knife song was the best choice to showcase his talent, 

even though it was good.

And anyone against Shin LIm is going to have a difficult time beating him.


@on the bay  During the finals of AGT last year, Shin's  performance included him playing the piano with an amazing act.

I also like the contestant that predicted  David Hassalholf in a certain seat and row, and the girl who was thinking David Hasserholf and wrote the answers ahead and produced them from his pocket.

@qvcaddition That was Colin- if you watch back his segment notice when David comes to greet everyone on stage. He and David shook hands and Colin said something like 'thanks for helping out'. It made the 'magic' seem so contrived! For me, it took away the WOW! factor .......
