They Picked The HARDEST Talents But Watch What Happens Next | America's Got Talent

This looks interesting. Who are you? Do you not want to talk? How old are you? Are you excited? Do you think that you're hot? Okay, good luck. Is it magic? It's an apple. Are you kidding? Really? Ice shot with the wax. He's going to use his sword! No! Oh my God. That is... Oh my God. You're walking a little funny. Did you poo-poo in your pants a little bit? That is horrible. That is amazing. I mean, I wanted to leave but I was frozen stiff. You know what people are going to be saying tomorrow? What? How much of an idiot is Howie Mandel? Howie, I can't tell you. That takes balls. I wouldn't have done that. Good for you. Now you're telling me that. I think it's even better, the fact that you nearly killed Howie. I mean, literally, you were two inches away from being dead there. That was incredible. Well done. Mel. I actually, for once, I felt your pain. I felt really sorry for you. I know. But having said that, I loved it! You're mysterious. You had everybody engaged. And you're hot. You put the wax right in your eyeballs and then put tape on. I mean, you could really not see anything. I thought it was incredible. Well done! All right, let's go. Howie. My brain is saying, please say no. But I know as a judge, the real answer is yes. Mel. I loved it. It's a definite yes from me. I think... Well, I want to see what you do next. Definite yes from you. I'm going to say yes. Four yeses. Well done. Howie, I actually thought it was the end of you. What is your name? My name is Jack the Whipper. Oh. Well. And how old are you? I'm 33. Where are you from? I live in Boston. So, what is your act? So, we're going to do some whip cracking. And we're going to try and not let the nerves take advantage of us. And we're going to try and have a good time. That's right. Jack, who taught you how to do this? I grew up in the circus. My dad taught me. So, this is your day job? I am a news anchor for Boston's NPR News Station. Do they know that you're here with your whip? Yes. They're very well aware of what's happening. Jack, go ahead. Thank you. So, I've been cracking whips since I was about seven years old. And over the last 25, 26 years, I've learned all the different whip cracks you can do. The front crack. The back crack. The over the head crack. The side crack. The flip crack. Even the super fast crack. What I think a lot of people don't understand is just how accurate a whip can be. And you can do that all over the place. You can do that in front. You can do that just behind the back. No look. But the very important thing about that trick is you've got to pop the hip. He took the tip off of that sucker. Now, hold on a second. We did not get that entire target, so we're going to do this. We're going to shorten this target just a tad. We're going to put it on top of the head like so. And we're going to go just like so. Now, I have one more trick for you. I was going... No! I was going... I was going to use Howie for this trick. But Howie's not here, so we're going to do it on myself. You Simon! No, Simon scares me. No, no, but he just buzzed. Simon! Simon! Simon! Howie! Howie! Howie! Howie's strong back there. He's like... You're going to be fine. That was Safiya. I'm going to take this target, and we are going to put that right in between your knees. It was Safiya who pressed the buzzer. No, it wasn't. That is not true. Now he's just worried because he has the whip. And if you would, Simon, can you get into a little bit of a squat position for me? Perfect. A little bit closer together. No, no, no. Knees closer together. Perfect. Now, Simon, can we make this quick? I want my phone. I want to take a picture. I'm not going to make you hold a squat position for long. Here we go. Do not move. Oh, the blindfolds come out. I just said, oh, please. That energy, that adrenaline, that was amazing. I was, like, suffering. I hated it, actually. I hated it because it's so good. What did you think, Howie? I agree with you in every way. It was so cool, so dangerous. The speed that you're throwing things at each other while you're both moving are things beyond what we have seen before. Season 17 is just blowing my mind. Thank you. Thank you very much. I was scared. It was frightening. I feel like you were a little scared, too. I could see you were, like, so relieved every time he didn't hit you. And when it was over, you both were like, yes, we did it without hitting each other. Simon, what do you think? What you do, I can only imagine how scary it is. If you want to try, I invite you. Go ahead, Simon, go. Okay. Really? Okay, what do I do? Okay, you just stand in the middle without moving. Okay. Have you watched the show before? Yeah. Do you like me? Yes, of course. Do you like me? Yes, of course. I guess it's safer than being on a bike. Howie, shut up. Okay. Oh, no. Okay, so we're going to vote now. Howie. Oh, yes. Heidi. Yes. Simon. This means a lot to you. I can see that. I'm definitely saying yes. I'm going to give you your fourth yes. How scary did that look? Tonight, I'm going to be doing a bigger explosion than I ever have before. I'll be climbing into a three-foot by six-foot box with six sticks of dynamite. All right, so the safety meeting will start right now. Everybody needs to understand nobody is allowed to go in that box except JP, the one with the hat, and he'll determine when it's safe to go. You want to stay away from the blast radius. That's where we have the distance for a table of distance. So we'll stay within those tables of distances and we'll be safe. There she is. I understand that those six sticks of dynamite can obliterate 13,000 pounds of rock. Why would anyone in their right mind do this? I'd be a little crazy to not be scared of this act. With an explosion this size, any number of things could go wrong. Make sure you check your gear. Breathing's important. You know that. The stress that this explosion will put on my body is insane. Ambulance. Got it. If you need to call it off, there's no problem. Don't feel any pressure to say, oh, stop. Paramedic. Got it. If I don't exhale at exactly the right moment, my lungs could implode. The results could be deadly. Once that door closes, there's no stopping this. I'm scared. Get out. Get all cameras out. There she is. She's getting in, guys. She's getting in the coffin. Oh, my gosh. Ready. Her father looks worried. Look, look, look, look, look, look. Now he's nailing her in. Make it hot. Walk into the box. Do not try this at home. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Oh, no. She looks devastated. She's moving her leg. Good. She's good. How do you feel? I feel like I just took a sledgehammer to the chest, but I'm glad I did it. I still feel the pressure, and I think the adrenaline is kicking. Oh, my gosh. Okay, well, we're going to go back inside, and we're going to see what the judges have to say if they still have their ears. Great to see everybody. Give me your first names again, please. Angelina Na. Angelina and? Michael Angelo. Okay, and this is father and daughter. Why don't you tell everyone your story? Well, our family has been performing since 1840. I'm 8th generation. Amazing. We actually got our family name from the Queen of England. She told my grandfather that the Sway Poles, your act, is simply Nervless, so now our name is the Nervless Knox. That's our stage name. And tell everyone what your dream is. My dream is to continuing this family tradition of ours as long as possible. And we met a few months ago on AGT Extreme. There is no net. There is no airbag. That is insane. That's insane. That's crazy. This is incredible. We will see you in the final. Thank you. We were so excited. It was a dream come true, and we did so well. We were so grateful, and then I got sick. So they weren't able to compete in the finals. But we're back. Are you going to do the same thing, or are you going to do something different? Since Extreme, Angelina's been performing in our backyard. New stunts. We don't use any safety devices. We practice a lot. So I hope you enjoy what she's learned. Let's do it. Good luck. I don't know. She's pulling out of the blindfold. No, no, no. Hanging upside down. Oh, they're switching poles. She's stuck. Okay, wow. Heidi? I mean, my hands are wet. My heart is beating. I'm slightly seasick. I mean, this was going back and forth, and thinking about the two of you, I am exhausted. You guys are fantastic. Thank you so much. And you leave us wanting more, honestly. Sofia. That was intense. What were those guys on the side doing? Were they gonna be able to catch you? No. Probably not. I think that was spectacular, and I think everybody was going crazy. I think what is amazing about you two is that you look so normal, and you're not. You're just not. I think what you did just then was unbelievable. Strangely, this was, for me, more intense because it was so close. I could see something going on up there because you were kind of like signaling to each other what was going on up there. As the act went on, I could see Angelina was getting physically tired and emotional, so I was worried about her. I told her to take it easy. Remember all the training, and she will be good. We're just human beings in the end, so we have to be careful, too. To us, this is the greatest stage on Earth. This is it right here. Well, still got to vote. Let's start with Heidi. It's a yes. Thank you. Sofia. Yes, of course. And now you have the three yeses. You're through to the next round. Congratulations. Wow! That's awesome. It feels like missing out. Whoo! All right, we made it, Angelina. We did. Yeah, come on. Because you guys are Colombian, but that was my favorite act. Thank you. Thank you for all the judges are going to say, but if they don't say what I want them to say, there's going to be trouble tonight, so howie. There's going to be no trouble for me. I'll tell you, the act was amazing. Thank you very much for the votes. Thank you, really. Really, we appreciate that. Thank you, thank you. Heidi. First of all, when you were in the middle, when you had everyone kind of holding everything on your head, I mean, it was incredible. Like, I saw all your veins pop out of your head. I saw you on top. You saw the veins? Because he was like... I mean, it was crazy. What do you think? You're brothers. Yeah. I think that, in a way, makes everything more special. You've got this very kind of cool strength about you. What you did was very dangerous. This is exactly the kind of act America's Got Talent is all about. Thank you. Can I be the first to give you a yes, please? Thank you very much. Thank you. Definite yes. Thank you. Howie. Si. You're in! Si! Hi. Hello. What is your name? My name is Kevin. Hi, Kevin. And where are you from? France. Where else? Silly me. Welcome to America. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. And what do you do in France? Mentalism. Mentalism? Yes. How old are you? I'm 32 since yesterday. Happy birthday. Oh, happy birthday. So how long have you been doing mentalism? 12 years. So you do it full-time for a living? Now, yes. And what is the reason that you wanted to be here on America's Got Talent? When you love something, you want to share with as much people as possible. And this is the biggest stage of the world. Yeah. That's wonderful. Go ahead. Mentalize. I'm going to show you a mind transmission performance. But between you, judges, and Mr. Terry Crews. Come on, Terry. Okay. I got you. Mind transmission. Thank you so much. Right, so I come to you. Okay, here we've got photos of AGT finalists from all the seasons of the show. Ladies, you will pick one each and without showing it, look at it, then put it under your cup. Heidi, put your finger on the photo. Okay, take it. Keep your finger. Perfect, thank you. That's yours, no worries. Sophia, put your finger on the photo. That one, take it. Okay, now let's do this. Now, I'm going to extract the mind of Terry. Then, grab your thoughts and put it inside. And so, do a mind transmission. Keep your concentration and your eyes closed from now till the end. And imagine, imagine me extracting the mind from your head and going inside. Oh my God. Then, deeper to your memories. This is crazy. Ladies, think about your contestants, their talents, their props. Heidi, I'm gonna extract the contestants from your mind. Does it make sense? Sophia, think about your contestants. Then, Terry, imagine your mind coming back to your head. And open your eyes. Take this board and write the names of the two contestants you felt. Terry. Okay. It's all up to you. Show us the board. Is that correct? It is. Oh my God. Amazing. And Simlyn. It is. That's amazing. Wait. One last thing. Judges, at the very beginning, I left a photo of myself here. The other reason why I left it even before you chose your contestants is because this photo contains my prediction. Wow. Thank you. I mean, seriously, please. Round of applause for Terry. Thank you. One of those brain things that you had there, that was incredible. I've never seen anything like it before. And what you've done from my brain to Terry's, it was incredible. Thank you. Sophia. I don't even know what to say. That was so much fun and it was such a different thing to watch. Thank you so much. And Simon. This act was sensational. Absolutely sensational. It was taking this kind of act into the future. It was unlike anything we've ever seen before. This is a Vegas act. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you. The magic is far beyond anything I have seen before. That was appearing in front of us. Those graphics were just floating in the air. I saw Terry Cruz's brain in front of me. It was crazy. I think that's amazing. I've never seen anything like it. I'm so excited. I'm going to start off the voting with a, as you would understand, wee. Good job. We've had so many wees today and now you've got a fourth wee. Good evening and welcome to America's Got Talent. And you are... Are you okay? He's not okay. You're not going to talk to us. I'm nervous for this. Are you going to talk to us? You're not even going to nod. Sounds good to me. Good luck. This looks interesting. The crazy things people just come up with. He's going to swallow that. No he's not. He's swallowing it. Oh no! Wow. Me? You. What? How? You. He pointed at you. This is great. I love this. Hi. Who do we have here? What are your names? I am Arnold. I am... 25 years old. I'm Martin and I'm 20 years old. And... where are you from? We came from Albania. And we are brothers. Brothers! Bowler behind the two of you. Do you roll a bowler for a living? No, for a living I do interior design. Oh. And you? I'm in second year of school studying law and we are self-taught. But then again a fun show in Vegas or being a lawyer? Both. In the day I study law and I will be a lawyer and in the night I will do shows. Yeah, good. And you can negotiate your own contract? Yeah. Because I don't need no one. I have myself so... So cute. Alright, I'm ready. Are you guys ready for this? We're ready. Yes! It's still on his head. It's going on his head! You just reinvented the wheel because roll a bowler on top of a person we have never seen before. You guys are nuts! Thank you very much. What? I mean and I saw it there it looked so silly. It's like what are they going to do with that little tube? I mean that was amazing. It had everything. I mean I could watch you guys for a long, long time. Thank you. Thank you very much. Well, as Heidi said it's always good to see something we haven't seen before. I don't know when you decided one day that's what I'm going to do which is to put that on your head. The only thing I didn't like were the oranges or the tangerines whatever they were. I think they're tennis balls. They're tennis balls. Oh, they're orange. I thought they were. He's eating so many. He's seen them everywhere. Why are you going to find something bad about this? Because it was unnecessary. If you're going to balance something knives I'm only trying to help. Pay attention. For the knives this will be the next show. Thank you very much. No oranges. I lied for the mothers. Three yeses. Oh no. I like that he shows us how sharp it is. Do not try this at home. Please. Oh no. What is this? Oh my God. I've never seen anything like that in my life. Me either. Oh man. This is crazy. Oh no. No. It's on his neck. I don't want to see this. No. This dude is crazy. That was fun. I have a weird relationship with acts like this because I love them and I hate them. It's like I want to see and I don't want to see. This was giving me all of those feelings and it was amazing. Heidi. I've seen a lot of danger acts but this I have never seen. It's something new and I loved it. Thank you. There wasn't a minute where we had a respite from just being terrified and we are so thrilled that you're exploring your body and not ours. It's like watching The Omen at lunchtime, the movie. It's just real family entertainment. So where does this go? There is much more. There is really much more. I'm going to go to Howie first. Howie, yes or no? Oh yes. You are amazing. I agree. It's a yes from me. So now you have four people who want to see you torture yourself even more. They didn't let up for one minute. You are living another day. Thank you. Thank you, Testa. Thank you and thank you. Alright, God bless you. Celebrate. Hello everyone. Hi, who are you? I'm Moses. I come from Spain. Well, welcome to America's Got Talent. What will you be doing for us today? I'm going to do some dance for you. Okay. Why America's Got Talent? It's the biggest stage in the world. I'm so excited to be here. Well, we're excited that it's you. Thank you so much. We've had nice people today. Because we are nice. I don't know, but it's not good.
