On business trip to Las Vegas, and I got to see Shin Lim's Limitless last night. Shin was absolutely amazing, but I'm surprised to find that no one here is talking about Colin Cloud. He acts as a sort of host throughout the show, but he also gets several sets to himself.
I was very happy to see him performing very classic mentalism rather than some of the flashier stuff he did on AGT. The man is absolutely smooth in his presentation, but more importantly very engaging with his audience. Everyone was having a good time and laughing at his general manic style, but would then be baffled by what he was doing. The usual reaction was just what I think a mentalist should look for; confusion, people asking their neighbor if they had any clue how it was done, and then resolving to astonishment and applause. The main thing, to me, is that he managed to really separate the mentalism from the magic. No one seemed to confuse him for another magician. If you've got a chance to see the show while you're in Vegas, it's absolutely worth it for Colin's stuff alone. Add in Shin's very artistic take on magic, and it's possibly the best show I've seen. |

Shin has more name recognition, and I'm sure there are people in the audience who are only there for Shin. But EVERYONE leaves that theater amazed and impressed by BOTH performers. I think Colin wins hundreds of new fans every night.
The man is a master performer, and there's no question in my mind that he's one of the very best mentalists in the world. I'd drive to Vegas to watch a full show from him anytime. |

Quite a few pros consider Colin’s act to be one the best in Vegas now - and in fact a bit better and more hard-hitting than Shin’s portion.
I’ve heard this from multiple people I respect and names we all know. Everyone says it’s top stuff and Colin is a master on stage - they say he steals the show. I’m going to be in Vegas again at the beginning of July and already have good seats to see the show myself with my family. Can’t wait 😛
