'America's Got Talent': Magician Shin Lim Blows Minds With Card Tricks

Shin Lim is really good at magic. The slight-of-hand specialist blew judge Heidi Klum’s and host Tyra Banks’ respective minds on Tuesday’s “America’s Got Talent,” when he likely locked up his spot in the Summer 2018 finals.

With just a deck of cards (or two, we don’t know how this works), a sharpie and some smoke, Lim wowed his up-and-close volunteers, the “AGT” studio audience and millions of NBC viewers.

We don’t want to even describe this one further because our words would hardly do the act any justice.

This instant-fan feels bad for anyone who went up against Lim in a high school talent show.

For the purposes of this comparison, we omitted Fox's "One Strange Rock" because it previously aired on Nat Geo Channel.

We also didn't count Fox's "Phenoms," which was a series of documentaries on rising soccer stars the network ran on three consecutive Friday nights to promote the World Cup. That one just doesn't fit here, but they'd be 11 and 12, respectively.
