'America's Got Talent': Fans say magician Jack Grady reminds them of 'Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka'

For his performance, Jack Grady cheekily showcased his talent of making a wine bottle from a table disappear and getting it to reappear

Ohio-based magician Jack Grady may have got a resounding no from the judges on 'America's Got Talent', but the eliminated magician still managed to make a pretty strong impression on the NBC show's fans. Grady was hoping to showcase his rhyming skills on the talent-hunt show, but barely 30 seconds into his act, the judges pressed the no buzzer and sent him packing.

For his performance, Grady cheekily showcased his talent of making a wine bottle from a table disappear and getting it to reappear on his a**. The judges especially Simon Cowell was put off by the trick. While the audience too was unimpressed by Grady's tricks, they however couldn't help but notice the striking resemblance between Grady's appearance and Johnny Depp's character on 'Willy Wonka'.
