Top 3 Performances of Shin Lim EVER!

I had so many doubts about auditioning for America's Got Talent, but my fiancée Casey, she believed in me and she pushed me to go for it. And she tells me that she thinks that I'm the best magician in the world. She really believes it, especially when I don't, because I definitely don't. Ever since I won, it's just been non-stop. You're amazing. This is incredible. I have been much busier than I was before. It's all because of her. None of that would have happened. I wouldn't even be here at Champions. I may have won America's Got Talent, but this is a whole other ballgame. When else am I going to be able to test myself alongside the best in the world? I can't help but think in my head, what can I do to take magic to the next level? And see how far magic can actually take me. I think with Casey by my side, I could win this whole thing. Howie? Yes? Just take one of these cards. Show it to the camera. To the camera? Yeah. I'll have the card. Can you open the marker? Yes. Write your name right over there. Terry. Howie, can you try opening your cup? Just open it up. No. Listen, we were there. What do you think of that? I had so much to say, but now I realize I'm holding cards that were in your mouth. Okay, hang on. There we go. Little Santa Claus and Heidi, were you impressed? Of course I was impressed. I mean, Shin, you did it yet again. You know, another jaw-dropping performance. Thank you, Heidi. Simon, the great Shin. I don't think many people, having won the show, would have had the guts to come back again this year and do what you've done. And for that, you have my utmost respect. Thank you so much, Simon. It is the best of the best. And still, within that context, you were amazing. Literally amazing. Well, good luck tonight, Shin. We're here at the finale and, you know, there's so many memories that I've had in the past couple months. But there's actually a big difference between a memory and a moment. It's kind of like what we're living right now in this very second. Like, we don't even know who's gonna be crowned champion until later on. Much like this card right over here. It's blank and I have no idea what it's gonna be until later on. So let's actually capture this moment. Can you hold on to it? Do you have a phone? Yes. We're gonna take a picture of this, okay? So we can kind of remember this moment. Okay. Hold it up to your face. Smile. Very good. We'll leave that. We don't need that. Actually, we don't really need that card either. So just be sure I don't touch it at all. I'll leave it right next to your phone. Do you have a favorite card? Queen. Okay, do you know which queen? Queen of diamonds. Yeah. Okay, cool. Let's look for it. Here we go. Queen of diamonds. Okay, there we go. Actually, to tell you the truth, maybe this deck is stacked in some way. Can you shuffle it? Give it a mix. All right. I don't want to touch it in any way. Something like that. Very good, okay. It's making the job harder for me, that's why. That's very good. All right, cool. Cut the deck anywhere you want. Okay. Maybe in half or whatever. Okay, hold on to whichever packet you want. Now, Melissa, I want you to do me a favor. Deal onto my hand and you just stop anytime you want. Okay, completely up to you. Your choice. You want to keep going? You can stop if you want. It's your choice. Right there? Okay, cool. Now, queen of diamonds, right? You shuffled the deck. I did. You stopped wherever you wanted. Queen of diamonds. Does that sound about right? I'm gonna run through the deck. It's not like the cards are all the same. There's only one queen of diamonds in the deck. You can be the judge, yeah? Okay, cool. But let's make it even more different. All right, Melissa, can you actually kiss the face of the queen right over there? Okay. That's just gonna make it completely unique. Amazing. There's only one queen of diamonds in the world, like this. Melissa, can I have your hand out? Like that? Okay, cool. We're gonna also make it special, but can you grab them to the card? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'll bite on it, the corner. Like this corner? Oh, yeah, go ahead. Make sure I don't go anywhere near that card, okay? Stay just with that, okay? I'll take the two of hearts. I'll kiss it as well. That's kind of awkward. I forgot to put on my lipstick. There you go. So I have a two, here's a queen. Can I go? And I'm pretty sure now I have the queen of diamonds in my mouth. Remember, Melissa, remember we were talking about moments. And we can take this moment right here, the queen of diamonds, make it vanish. Remember that picture we took before? Can you go to your photo album? I don't want to, I don't want to do anything anymore at this point. Okay. Take a look at your latest photo. What do you see? Oh yeah, that looks a lot like the queen of diamonds to me, doesn't it? That's your phone, this is not mine, it's your picture. But remember, whatever happens in this dimension sometimes also happens in reality as well. So nice to see you. Nice to see you. Mark entered Britain's Got Talent in 2018. It was the most incredible experience of my life. My name is Mark Spellman and I was a semi-finalist on Britain's Got Talent. Are you a magician? I am indeed. The first audition was amazing. This act is going to change your life. To get the golden buzzer was incredible. I had a lot of people telling me that I could win. The act going through to the final is Griffith Wynn. But it's like... and I was out. I was so disappointed and I remember thinking, you know, that can't be it. There has to be a way. And that was the birth of X. I came back again as an anonymous character who didn't look like me, didn't sound like me. I am X. I had no idea who you are but what you do is unbelievable. I made it to the final and when the mask came off, it was overwhelming. I am absolutely dumbfounded. But I still didn't win. I was runner-up and now we're here at the Champions. This is my chance to finally do it. Since Britain's Got Talent, X has become so much more than just me. We can all be X if we want to be. Good evening. It is an honour to be here in this great nation. You have all seen so many wonderful acts throughout your time. I am sure there are certain acts that stand out for each of you. On the other side of these cards are some of the most memorable people related to Got Talent around the world. Simon, you can see there are 10 different colours. Please tell me which one you would like. I'll go for yellow please. Heidi, can you tell me which symbol you would like? The smiley face. Alicia, please choose any letter. S. And finally, Howie, choose any number here. Unlucky 13. A moment I didn't foresee. Simon, your colour. Heidi, your symbol. And Alicia, your letter. We're always Howie. We'll get back to yours in a moment. Simon, Heidi and Alicia, if you had made any other choice, the results would have been very different. And you'll agree there are many choices you could have made. However, Howie, you can see your photo is still there. At the beginning, I mentioned that you all would have certain acts that have stood out in your minds. Howie, who would be one of yours? Don't be offended, but it's magic. It's Shin Lim. Strangely, Howie, you didn't choose yourself, but instead you chose Shin Lim. This is the ending I think most of us were expecting, but we must always expect the unexpected. At the beginning, I said we can all be X I usually always find one, but... I have words. Chills. Literally, I have chills. That was fantastic. It was freaking me out. I couldn't believe it. Okay, Simon, this would have been my golden buzzer. Yeah. But Simon likes dancing guys from space. Don't blame me. Mark, look, this is the third time we've met. I think it was probably your best performance we've seen. I would put you through to the semifinals in a heartbeat. I think it was spectacular what you just did. Thank you. Thank you.
