‘AGT’ fans slam judges for approving Ryland The Kid Magician’s simple tricks: ‘What a scam'
PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: Ryland The Kid Magician wowed the judges at the Season 18 auditions on Tuesday, June 27. However, viewers were not impressed by Ryland's performance, claiming that he conned them.
Ryland Petty is a magician who made it to the semi-finals of 'Britain's Got Talent' Series 15. At the time of his audition, he was a nine-year-old child from Staffordshire. When Ant and Dec questioned him backstage about why he decided to audition, he responded that he had wanted to do so since he was four years old. He now walked the stage for 'America's Got Talent,' where he wowed an even larger crowd.

'Skip school, go straight to Vegas'
Ryland, a young magician from England, did a magic act and disclosed that he sneaked into the venue before the event to put the word "scam" in invisible ink across the judges' panel. Ryland, 10, has been practicing magic since he was two years old. He invited many "friends" to join him onstage to act as aides for his magic tricks. The act included numbers and images, as well as matching up photos given to the judges at the start.
Heidi Klum described him as "outstanding," while Howie Mandel thought he was "funny and talented". Sofia Vergara stated, "That was so much fun for us." Simon Cowell was so impressed with the performance that he stated, "Ryland, you have almost given me my voice back." "You really have magic powers," he said, continuing with, "Skip school, go straight to Vegas." Simon made no indication that he previously knew the child.
