When it comes to the 'AGT' stage, no talent is off-limits. Literally. Over the years, there have been a range of interesting performances, each wackier than the other. If anything, that's what makes 'AGT' interesting! And it looks like Season 17 is no exception to this!

The 28-year-old Marvin Achi is a chemical engineer. He explained that one day when he was experimenting, something crazy happened, he then knew that he had to go on 'AGT' and show the world. If he were to win the cash prize, he explained that the money would certainly go towards buying more chemicals and carrying out more 'experiments'. As he got to the stage, Marvin was quick to strip and display his talent called 'abs clapping', and claimed to be the only person in the world who could do that. Simon joked that Marvin wanted to be a 'stripping chemical engineer', while the audience was certainly on board with the idea. When it came down to it, Marvin managed to bag Sofia and Heidi's vote, but it was a resounding no from Howie. Simon, being the tiebreaker gave Marvin the third yes he needed to advance forward.

Fans however, were less than amused. "the judging criteria in #AGT forever remains non-existent" said a fan. "Hello muscles sheeshhhh let me go do some sit ups lol #AGT" joked another. "Come on, Howie was the only judge with sense. Taking off your shirt is NOT talent #AGT" said a fan.
