number 10 John Doran boss John Doran
boss has quite the story when he was
just 12 years old his father killed his
mother and Doran boss was sent into
foster care where he took up magic as an
escape even during his career in the NFL
magic remained close to his heart a
passion evident in his brilliant
performances in America’s Got Talent
there you go Neal and now look I didn’t
want to do this but look just to show
you that five has been drawn on there
the entire time
his car trick during the judge cuts
earned him a standing ovation and a
golden buzzer and in the finals he
explained how magics saved his life
while cards signed by the judges
materialized out of thin air I don’t
know about you guys but I wake up every
single morning and I choose to live in
vision to find happiness knowing that
life will work its way out and we will
find ourselves his ripped up card trick
in the season finale led to him placing
third in the competition overall number
9
Collins key after falling in love with
magic as a young boy
Collins key studied at the Magic Castle
and cut his performing teeth on
countless private functions he nailed
his audition for America’s Got Talent’s
eighth season by lighting a dollar bill
on fire and somehow retrieving it from a
sealed popcorn bag now open it up if you
see something inside the bag yes yes how
we show it to Howard you see something
mind-bending tricks like this carried
him throughout the season in
quarterfinals he predicted the judges
tweets and during top 12 finals guessed
which paper bag held host Nick Cannon’s
watch you stop your watch at 4:58
correct I fit Nick’s watch to 450 he
eventually placed fifth making him the
first magician in the show’s history to
reach the top five number eight Deric
Hughes
Deric Hughes was an interesting magician
and certainly one of the show’s most
unique his audition set the comedic
and idiosyncratic tone of his act as he
made a card chosen from a deck reappear
inside his butt crack however he went on
to prove he was bringing more to the
stage than just belly laughs his
quarterfinals performance saw him making
cards materialize in his coat pocket
while in the semi-finals he reassembled
a book out of ripped up pieces of paper
but the king and his men had missed
something new alas his finals trick
involving ropes received poor reviews
and he was eventually eliminated before
reaching the top five but hey thanks for
the laps this was somewhat over
underwhelming for for your big final
night here on AG tape number 7 David and
Lehman David and Lehman were already
acclaimed performers before appearing on
America’s Got Talent and their
performance on the show only reinforced
their reputation their audition was
goofy but fun as they used a hands-on
technique they dubbed pressure
phrenology to take away judge Howie
Mandel’s ability to read what’s not a
that’s okay but judges you can read this
right they advanced straight to the
quarterfinals where they performed an
incredibly elaborate trick that involved
predicting the longest word on a page
the duo eventually reached the top 12
finals but were eliminated after a
complex trick involving lottery tickets
failed to impress the viewers looks like
a bad night for the boys it’s 85 that’s
close that’s because number six
das Perlman mind-reading acts can be
really hit or miss but as Pearlman
pulled his off with panache during
auditions Pearlman seemingly read the
minds of judges Heidi Klum and Mel B
correctly guessing a number under 100
and specific details regarding Mel’s
vacation I am picturing a vacation to
Fiji that happened in 1998 and someone
else here named Jerry he subsequently
impressed viewers enough with his
Mentalist tricks to reach the finale
where he not only correctly guessed what
invisible card Heidi would pick but also
made said card randomly appear in his
hand what was that one indestructible
card the three of Hearts this trick
impressed viewers and he was sent to the
top five instead of Deric Hughes we
wonder if he predicted that number five
picked the magic dragon
pif the magic dragon is one of the
show’s most exceptional magicians and
while his ridiculous dragon costume is
certainly unique his magic was
impressive enough to make him more than
just a novelty performer his audition
alone was mind-blowing winning a
flabbergasted expression from Heidi as
he seemingly transformed one card into
he also got himself a golden buzzer by
making a signed cart appear in an
his charisma and unbelievable tricks
have made him one of the show’s breakout
magicians proving that magic can be just
as fun as it is impressive number four
smoothy nee simple sleight of hand is
one thing but smoothie nee elevates the
art to the closest thing there is to
real magic in his audition he coughed up
an entire deck of cards
plucked others out of thin air and Wow
judges with just two red balls and a
salt shaker like I’m gonna take this
ball put it right about here I want you
to hold that ball real tight for me
thank you without bothering that ball
they were gonna go abracadabra
open up and he upped his game in the
quarterfinals which saw him changing the
value of paper bills making them
disappear and completely removing their
federal seals whilst movie knee failed
to make the finals his exquisite
sleight-of-hand tricks were nothing
short of jaw-dropping number three
Stephon Brundage Rubik’s cubes are known
for being difficult little buggers not
so for Steven Brundage Brundage his
audition saw him placing an unsolved
Rubik’s Cube into a paper bag snapping
his fingers and retrieving the now
solved cube to a shocked panel and
audience
as if that wasn’t amazing enough his
judge cuts performance had him solving
cubes in a matter of milliseconds simply
by tossing them through the air less
than a millisecond while his act
progressively grew more complex
throughout the show’s run his simplest
were arguably the most impressive and
they left viewers and judges shaking
their heads in wonder
so everyone can hear you Bret Hey ladies
and gentlemen I give you number 2 Matt
Franco we knew Matt Franco was gonna be
special from day one in his amazing
audition he used a card trick to
illustrate a story about his magic
career and then transform them into
pictures of the judges in my opinion all
of you judges look much better
one two in the flesh we have no idea how
he did it and it only gets better from
there he later teleported Mel B’s phone
into a seat cushion and won a standing
ovation with an inventive ball and cup
routine but it’s Mel B that makes this
show huh what the heck you all look
really great yep even you Howard
yet he still outdid himself in the
finale miraculously transferring cards
to guests Rosie O’Donnell to judge
Howard Stern without touching either and
becoming the first magician to win first
place on the show before we unveil our
number one pick here are some honorable
mentions there must be May 2017 that is
correct
yes it is this number 73 million nine
hundred twenty eight thousand five
number one Shin Lim there are only a
handful of household names in the magic
industry Shin Lim will soon be one of
them his mysterious persona and use of
music are captivating but his illusions
are simply breathtaking despite
suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome
Lim has completely mastered sleight of
hand and shocked the judges with card
tricks that included conjuring them from
nowhere making them disappear again and
even pulling them from his mouth all
amid billows of smoke his performances
earned him the number-one spot and left
judges and commentators at a complete
loss I’ve said by leaps and bounds the
best close-up magic of it and it is so
as a germaphobe I mean this in the best
way it’s so clean there’s only one
reasonable explanation he’s a warlock
