The only magic on last night’s edition of America’s Got Talent was Dom Chambers’ officially leaked performance (which we shared here)… Michael Paul did appear with his ventriloquism act but he is not the Arizona based magician, and master of the card under drink, Michael Paul. Still, it is always good to pull for the sister arts, right?
Nicholas Wallace has won the Allan Slaight Award for up and coming magicians and has his own FU Trophy thanks to his cookie routine… but last night he was on America’s Got Talent and decided to go the spooky magic route.
America’s Got Talent posted this unaired chat with Eric Chien about magic and his AGT audition.
The official America’s Got Talent YouTube video for this audition proclaims Eric Chien could be the best magician on “the Internet and AGT.” Well, he has conquered Asia’s Got Talent and FISM… can Eric Chien follow Shin Lim to be AGT’s newest champion and bring magic the win two seasons in a row? We’ll all find out this summer!
He was last night’s sole magic act.
We ran a clip of David Merlin earlier today and promised to remind you about his America’s Got Talent run… If you could not remember seeing David, it was probably because he appeared as the character Psycho Jack!
Here is a quick clip of Paul Zerdin, but you can see his full, almost half hour interview on Build here.
Since we were talking scary magic on Got Talent earlier, we decided to go way back to 2010 to pull Dan Sperry’s first America’s Got Talent audition back when Sharon Osbourne was still on the show.
