It was in the cards for Shin Lim .

The sleight-of-hand wizard won Season 13 of Americas Got Talent on Wednesday, becoming just the second magician to do so.

I cant stop smiling, he told Entertainment Tonight afterward in the clip above. I dont think Ive ever smiled this much in my life.

The Massachusetts-based performer consistently dazzled judges and viewers with his card tricks. He turned in another mind-blower the previous night, while revealing how carpal tunnel syndrome dashed his piano-playing hopes and turned him to magic.

Youre the only one that makes me believe that magic is possible, judge Heidi Klum said, per People . Yep, his stuff is that amazing.
