'BGT' magician impresses 'AGT' judges
Mandy told Terry Crews before her audition that being a female magician is difficult but she has built her business over the period of 25–30 years. She told Sofia Vergara on stage that if she won the cash award, she'd "probably spend it on men." The comic flavor persisted throughout her routine, which contributed significantly to the judges' admiration for her.
Sofia described the act as "quite a surprise" and stated that she did not anticipate having so much joy. Howie Mandel described her as a "very good magician" who "deserves to have their own show." Heidi Klum and Simon both voted "yes" to send her through to the next round, adding to Sofia and Howie's affection.

One user tweeted, "This whole show is terrible . I am switching the channel. Seems to be a sympathy competition."
