Canadian American magician Shin Lim won season 13 of America’s Got Talent Wednesday night, claiming the $1 million first-place prize, reports USA Today. He’ll also get to headline a November AGT show in Las Vegas.
“The sexiest magician on the planet!” yelled host Tyra Banks after she announced the winner during the live finale.
“Thank you so much to everyone. I love you all so much […] I can’t speak right now,” said an emotional Lim.
26-year-old Lim is ethnically Chinese, and his parents were born in Singapore, according to Wikipedia.
Austrian dance troupe Zurcaroh, led by Brazilian choreographer Peterson da Cruz Hora, placed second.

RE: Shin Lim Wins Season 13 of America’s Got Talent: So very happy for Shin Lim and all of the AGT finalists. My family loved Shin’s story and his universally appealing talent. The runner up Zucaroh team should also be applauded for their talent, teamwork, and their joyous response to Shin’s win; they lifted him into the air with big smiles and hugs.
