Shin Lim, a 26-year-old magician, went out of his comfort zone for his performance at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre for America’s Got Talent season 13. He took home the $1 million prize on Sept. 19.

During the quarterfinals, Lim took some advice from Simon Cowell to move away from performing small magic acts and go bigger, and also to be more of a showman.
