Heidi Klum calls for ‘more female magicians’ after assisting Anna DeGuzman on ‘America’s Got Talent’ live show [WATCH]
The fourth “America’s Got Talent” live performance show of Season 18 showcased a somewhat rare act: a female magician! On Tuesday night, 24-year-old Anna DeGuzman from New Jersey welcomed all four “AGT” judges onto the stage to help her out with her card trick. (Read our minute-by-minute live blog.) One by one, Anna was able to locate their missing playing cards by catching them midair, spitting them out of her mouth, or pulling them from a cake. If she receives enough votes from viewers at home, she could make history for solo female magicians everywhere. What did YOU think of Anna’s latest performance?
Watch the live “AGT” video above and read the judges’ comments below:
Howie Mandel: “I love what you did. You are adorable. I love your presentation. I love your mother. I don’t know if you know this about me — I’m lactose intolerant, so I didn’t want to touch that [cake].”
Heidi Klum: “We need more female magicians! That’s all I can say. Okay? I also have to say, it’s amazing how you did this because you were so incredibly nervous. Like, I could see your hands [shaking]. But you were incredible. I also love the way you spoke. You kept us all engaged. I really like you.”
Sofia Vergara: “It was super fun to be there with you, to see what you were doing. You started super, super nervous, but then you started easing into it. And your personality was showing. I think you have a big career ahead of you.”
Simon Cowell: “I agree with everything, Anna. I love, love, love your personality. You chose the worst assistants on the planet and still were brilliant. And you really deserve this shot.”
Competing against Anna during the “Qualifiers 4” round were these 10 contestants: Japanese dance group Chibi Unity, singer D’Corey Johnson, chorale group Freedom Singers, singer and guitarist Kylie Frey, dancer and contortionist Mariandrea, comedian Orlando Leyba, puppet act Puppet Simon & The Cowbelles, singer Roland Abante, variety act Shadow Ace and acrobat Zion Clark.
Remember, only two of the 11 acts will make it through to the grand finale based on America’s overnight votes. Will Anna be one of them?
Back in her “AGT” audition, Anna revealed her dream of becoming the first female headliner magician in Las Vegas. She wasn’t confident her card trick was going to work that night, but she pulled it off flawlessly, with all of the judges giving her “yes” votes to send her through to the next round.
