It's magic Howie: Watch 'AGT' judge Howie Mandel struggle to comprehend Young-Min’s act
PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: In the semifinal round of 'America's Got Talent' Season 19, Korean illusionist Young Min made a bold move with his magic act. He found himself wrestling with many different concepts and ideas, trying to figure out what kind of routine would be best for this crucial stage of the competition.
After a lot of brainstorming, Young delivered a visual magic act where he made use of sand and lights. He wrapped up his magic performance with an original quick-change trick. However, it seemed that the judges struggled to fully grasp the concept of Young's act. Unfortunately, his act failed to strike a chord with the judges.
When discussing Young's act, Judge Howie Mandel raved over Young by calling him “one of the most original magicians” he has ever come across. However, Howie also shared that he felt 'confused' during several moments of Young's semifinal act.
Young may have just hindered his chances of advancing to the 'AGT' finale, especially considering that the performance involved a sand act that did not seem to resonate as strongly with the audience or the judges.
