Thanks Stephen for having me on this! 🙏
Bryron was our tennis coach in HS and one day he casually told us u won America got talent
Love ur hair bro
Love your talent and hair.😂
Coz of you i am here. I can do the dream act,52 shades of red and many more. Youre an inspiration Shin.thats crazy.
i had a feeling you were singaporean/have singaporean ties!
I'm in California. Knowing Shim Lim is in Vegas makes me want to plan a trip to Vegas just to support my Asian brother. All love my brother 🙏 Wishing you the best and thank you for showing us and paving the way for future Asian kids by showing them it can be done with hardwork.
First time hearing about Shin, and after watching his performances in AGT, I gotta say he definitely is amazing. Thanks, Asian Boss, for showing him to us!
Great interview, I really enjoyed watching it. Shin seems to be a very sweet and humble person, which is rarely found among famous people.
Shin Lim's inspiring journey from a self-taught amateur magician to a world-renowned performer is a testament to the power of hard work, dedication, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
The story of Shin Lim is a typical story of many Asian families, either in the West or in Asian countries. It is a sequence: learning at school, getting school degree, keeping learning at university, earning university certificate and going out to work. So, when children find something which is fascinating but out of this sequence, parents are more likely to oppose it. There are possibilities for this story: either children have to accept to learn in the favor of their parents, but still make their dreams come true in secret, or struggle for what they pursuit.
@Dk Oneshot I saw this interview and I can say that his family was lucky when there was no negative thing happened. I were talking about a typical Asian family, especially a typical East Asian family.
I'm not sure how this is relating to this interview
@@aZnchuux3 Yeah. I understand that some details in his story are not quite identical to what I say. However, I believe it is the initial mind of his parents. Fortunately, in his story, there was no remarkable conflict when he chose magician career instead of university and post-university learning.
Excellent programme on Shin Lim ..one of the greatest Magicians one ever could witness ..
Proud Singaporean here :)
Im in Africa rn and i really wanna be in the US in order to live my dream as a magician. It's very difficult especially when no one supports you. But watching shin has inspired me. Im 17 now and I don't know when I'll be calling myself ready. No magic shops nothing. I only have to rely on YT and free magic pdf to practice magic. And sometimes my imagination. Thanks Shin, thanks Asian boss.
Same .keep following your dream
Thank you Asian boss, for this excellent interview with Shin. Iv always wanted to hear his full story. Much appreciated 🙏
I love Shin Lim ❤ he’s my favorite magician! Great hair too 😊
The secret is really no secret: work hard and don't be afraid to chase your dreams. Don't fear failure; learn from those lessons. Obviously, skill plays its part, so keep learning and honing whatever it is you love doing. Shin Lim's success exemplifies those fundamental lessons.
Saw Shin Lim’s show, Limitless, in Las Vegas. More important than the magic is how he brushes his hand through his hair many times during the show 😂
Totally agree lol. He was awesome. Best show I’ve seen
Thanks so much for this wonderful interview with Shin! He is truly an inspiration for everyone. Love his hair too! 😊👍
Great interview! I was blown away when I first saw Shin Lim on Penn & Teller on youtube and I was obsessed.
Wow… his humility.
Although almost polar opposite to each other in terms of style, both Stephen and Shin are both such hotties. Their talent, intelligence, drive, self-awareness, courage to display vulnerability, down-to-earthedness, HAIR STYLE etc. Thank you for this Easter goodie. 😂♥️
Listening to Shin really inspired me to work harder (and go see his show). Thank you for this interview!
I love Shin Lim and I love this channel... I'm so happy and grateful for this video 😆😆
What an amazing & honest interview 👏
Everytime I see him, his hair turns more into an explosion and I think that's very thematic with how he blew up around that time.
The first thing that struck me about Shin Lim was his hair. Even now I still can't keep my eyes away from his hair as I listen to him talk.
this interview has rekindled my biggest crush on shin lim after watching him on agt, such genuine passion for his craft and a huge inspiration 💌
Wonderful interview and hopefully i could see Shin Lim performance in the distant future
Can confirm. The northeastern US doesn't typically go crazy over celebrities outside of venues. They're just another person trying to go about their day, the same as the rest of us. If we happen to be riding the same elevator or walking through a doorway at the same time we may give a brief compliment or acknowledgement but seeing Emma Watson dining at your restaurant or driving past Stefani Germanotta's house is just like "that's kind of cool, now back to humming that earworm".
He made it in a way that works for him.
Steve great interview with shin Lim I find him to be a great 🪄 he is a cool 😎 guy and for u since u started ur channel on u tube asian boss I really appreciate what u do for the Asian people like helping them when the pendemic happened u and ur crew where on hand to help out with mask 😷 or even food great job hope you keep on doing what u do thanks 👍 and stay safe
Magic is a borderline phenomenon, which shows us the limits of our human tools of perception, much like music, by the way, - as you cannot e.g. satisfactorily 'describe' a Rachmaninov piano concerto in the narrow framework of 'words'. The same holds true for magic. There is a lack of tangibility which could be called illusion, but that doesn't sit well with me. I'd rather refer to it as the tangible limits of our perception, which helps us not only to stand in awe, but also to attain humility and as a result, gratefulness.
Never knew Shin got his first paid tour in China, hope to see him again in China
