'AGT' Season 19: Watch Jonathan Burns's bizarre trick involving cheese and Sofia Vergara and Heidi Klum's underwear
PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: Pennsylvanian Jonathan Burns is originally from Lancaster. He said on Season 19 of 'America's Got Talent' that he relocated to California since it's difficult for Amish people to become well-known.
He is in his forties and has two little children.

Judges Heidi Klum and Sofía Vergara were promptly engaged by this magician to assist him with his act. Before employing his hilarious-sounding "magic wand" to transfer two pieces from Heidi's pile to Sofia's, he had the women tally out ten slices of cheese in front of the crowd.
Heidi counted out cheese slices into Jonathan's palm as part of the performance. Sofia followed suit.
He miraculously moved cheese from Heidi's bra to Sofia's using a strange device. There was humor as well as magic.
'AGT' Season 19 judges split over Jonathan Burns's act
Howie Mandel praised him as a "great comedian and personality" after his show, while Heidi deemed it "unusual and memorable" and Sofia considered it "a little slow." According to Simon Cowell, it's not a winning act.
Howie and Heidi declined, but Sofia gave in to the crowd's pressure and agreed to let him go in exchange for a "yes."
Ultimately, the audience was ecstatic, and the judges were really impressed. But before Heidi was called on stage, she said that she was going to give him a red X. Simon, on the other hand, candidly admitted that, although he liked the Act, he wasn't sure it could win, and he gave him his one and only "no."
