Shin Lim Brings Tricks and Treats to The Mirage with New Show Dates Beginning in October

 

Shin Lim Brings Tricks and Treats to The Mirage with New Show Dates Beginning in October

Tickets go on Sale Friday, July 26 at 10 a.m.

Witness tricks and treats from Shin Lim, the future of magic and the only person to win “America’s Got Talent” twice, when he returns to The Mirage this fall. Lim will bring his acclaimed show LIMITLESS back to the Terry Fator Theatre after successfully selling out all performances this summer. 

Tickets to see The Mirage’s newest resident stun audiences with incredible feats of magic go on sale Friday, July 26 at 10 a.m. and start at $59.99 (not including applicable tax and service charges). A limited number of meet-and-greet packages are available for purchase starting at $229 (not including applicable tax and service charges) and include a photo opportunity with Lim and ticket to the show.

Although he is respected for his skill and poetic performance by esteemed magicians and is considered an inspiration to many young magicians, Shin Lim admits that he is not a magician nor a wizard and has no intention of lying to the audience. He performs carefully self-choreographed routines rather than pretending to defy the laws of physics. Combining dexterity, precision and grace, he has distilled a lifetime of training into a devious display of dancing digits.  His mind-boggling finger moves are so masterful that the audience is left to wonder if what they have seen is truly possible.

About Criss Angel

For more than a decade, Criss Angel has dominated the world of magic as the biggest name on the planet.  From his role as star, creator, executive producer and director of Criss Angel MINDFREAK on A&E, to countless critically acclaimed television specials, best-selling books, top-grossing retail products, sold-out touring shows and more, Criss is the most influential and imitated magician of the modern era.

 

His acclaimed series MINDFREAK on A&E is the most successful magic show in television history, resulting in more hours of magic during prime time than any magic show ever. His decade-long live show residency at Luxor Las Vegas was hailed as the “#1 Best-selling Magic Show in Las Vegas” (Extra) and generated $150 million in revenue in 2010 as reported by Newsweek (more than any other magician ever).

 

Angel is also the most watched magician in television and internet history, a YouTube sensation. His “Walk on Water” clip has generated over 60 million views alone, and all of his clips combined have generated more than 500 million views. Criss has the largest social media following of any illusionist, with almost 7 million followers.

 

In 2017, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce honored Criss with the 2,615th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The star was dedicated at 7018 Hollywood Boulevard next to the historic Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel and across the street from the star of Houdini.

 

Criss has been named “Magician of the Year” an unprecedented six times, was the youngest magician inducted into the International Magicians Society Hall of Fame, was named the first recipient of “Magician of the Decade,” as well as “Magician of the Century” and “Innovator of the Decade.”  Most recently, Angel was given the highest honor in the magical arts – the Lifetime Achievement Award from the largest and most prestigious magic organization in the world (the nearly one hundred-year-old International Brotherhood of Magicians).  It has only been given five times in the IBM’s history, and Criss is the youngest artist ever to receive it and the only magician performing today that has been presented with this award. Angel is also the recipient of the “The Greatest of All Time” award, presented by VANISH Magazine (the world’s largest magic publication).

His songs including “He Stopped Loving Her Today,” “Tennessee Whiskey,” Still Doin’ Time,” “A Good Year For The Roses,” “She Thinks I Still Care,” and so many others are covers every bar band performs on a nightly basis.

Jones was often referred to as The Possum, for his facial features and the shape of his nose, or No Show Jones, for his sudden disappearing act before a show. However, when Jones finally did take the stage he was a hardcore honky tonker that sang songs about heartbreak and hard drinking times that echoed his own turbulent life. By most accounts, George Jones was the finest vocalist in the recorded history of country music.
