Here's the secret to winning AGT if you are a magician. First, you need to learn how to break dance. This is very important because the audience seems to loose all sense of taste when someone break dances. Next, have a sad story about how you came from a broken home, blah, blah, blah. Last but not least, get your kid to perform the trick. Kids for some reason always win over the judges.

WELL... America has voted, and they voted for a Magician. Drew Thomas was one of only 5 acts to be put forward to the next round when the results were announced on Wednesday. I have posted both the performance clip from Tuesday and the results clip from Wednesday for anyone that might have missed it. ENJOY

Drew did an excellent job. He certainly deserves to advance.
BTW. Thank you Dodd for all your excellent interviews. First class! Gerry

Well... as we all know, Drew has made it through and Nathan Burton mysteriously vanished. We've since repoted on the upcoming return of Nathan as a guest performer. In addition, Jay Mattioli reappeared last night as a wild card contestant after being eliminated immediately upon his arrival in Las Vegas. There is yet one more magic surorise to come on the show, but find out more about and watch Jay's return HERE

I have to say that I doubt Drew continues. His act last night was not very good. He tried to perform a "Copperfield" type effect with music and a cheesy story line. This type effect might work for Copperfield and maybe as an interlude in a show but not in the time allotted in a show like AGT. I had to agree with Piers on this one. He also kind of repeated himself with the effects. I doubt he makes it any further.

If Drew makes it through, I think he should do something without the assistants - a bit of a solo piece - to show some versatility.

I predict that if he makes it through he'll do something even bigger with even more assistants

Lol.. I think you're both right! Dodd, that would be a great move but requires a LOT of personality and charisma to pull off. The other issue is the demand to "step it up" which typically requires more over the top and frequently random production value.
I should go down and watch it live at some point. I've got a few friends still in the show but taking a night off to spend 4 hours in a studio might not be worth it!

Well.. Drew was eliminated tonight. If I am not mistaken, this is the farthest that any magician has made it on the American version of the show. I am sure that someone will correct me if I am wrong, but until now, Nathan Burton was the highest scoring magician to appear on the show and he made it to 11th place.

Drew did well and should have a lot of PR to use for the future. Paradizo Dance were friends from NY who were rehearsing in our studio most days while they were in town (and ended up borrowing one of my trapeze bars for their act at the last minute!)and they got eliminated as well. It has a lot to do with who connects with the public. We'll see what next year holds!

I also think there is a lot more (as had been said here before) that is scripted and planned than they like to admit. The young boy dancer said he really did not want to perform the routine he did but was instructed to do so by the producers. I also think it was planned to keep 5 acts last night and to add a little drama.
