Warning! The following contains spoilers for the finale of America's Got Talent: The Champions**. Read at your own risk!**
After weeks of watching some of the planet's most talented entertainers face off, a winner has been chosen on America's Got Talent: The Champions. The super-fans voted, and when it was all said and done, the magician Shin Lim was given the title of "the best of the best." Lim was ecstatic, and while the votes were likely locked in before his incredible final performance, we wouldn't be shocked if he somehow used magic to show everyone ahead of time how amazing it would be. Take a look.
Shin Lim's magic is so good, it's stupid. How does this guy manage to do all the crazy things he does? Are his volunteers in on the act, or is he just that good at distracting them into stuff like taking a photo of a card they're going to pick later on in the performance? Seriously, trying to figure out how that picture happened makes my brain hurt. Melissa Fumero looks equally puzzled, or is she just acting?
Shin Lim's win probably wasn't a huge surprise to all America's Got Talent fans, as quite a few suspected the Season 13 winner of AGT would come out on top in this all-star competition. With that said, his victory wasn't a surefire conclusion, since he had to beat out the likes of talents such as Susan Boyle, Darci Lynne, and Cristina Ramos to take the top prize.
That he did, though, and Shin Lim hoisted his trophy high as the crowd cheered on the young magician. You can check out that moment below.
Those looking to congratulate Shin Lim on his win might want to avoid Twitter. He pulled a social media disappearing act last year, and hasn't tweeted on the platform since late September.
He did pop up on Instagram to thank everyone for their well wishes and kind words, though, and said it's the fans that are the true "champions." It's the kind of humble attitude folks should expect from Lim, who has been nothing short of a class act since he first started blowing people's minds on America's Got Talent.
So, what's next for America's Got Talent: The Champions? The quasi-spinoff's future is uncertain, although there will be some carryover going into Season 14 of America's Got Talent proper. Terry Crews, who took over hosting duties for Tyra Banks during this recent season, is now the official host of AGT going forward. As for what else is changing on AGT, Heidi Klum and Mel B won't be returning for Season 14, and they've been replaced by Gabrielle Union and Julianne Hough.
America's Got Talent: The Champions is done for now, but it won't be long before America's Got Talent proper is back on NBC. Don't think the super fans got it right? Sound off in our poll below.
