LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'America's Got Talent' Season 18 semi-finalist Shadow Ace aka Ace Philip Jose Galit is currently in his hometown Philippines. Although he seemingly didn't have any public events after his 'AGT' stint, he has been active on his social media.

He continues to entertain his fans and often shares his shadow puppetry videos on his social media. However, after he lost the Season 18 semi-finale, Shadow Ace returned to 'AGT: Fantasy League'.

He now looks forward to serenading the judges and fans with his impressive talent to earn their votes. However, he teased his appearance in the upcoming show on his social media.

He took to his Instagram and shared a series of photos of his upcoming act. In the photo, he created a shadow of a person with his fingers and a round surface with Howie Mandel's head.

 'AGT' Season 18 semi-finalist Shadow Ace's 'inappropriate' act receives backlash 

Shadow Ace earned viewers' votes and judges' buzzers to advance through the multiple rounds and reach the semi-finals. However, one of his performances was dubbed 'inappropriate' for children and received internet wrath.

The 'AGT' performer created a woman with his hands, seemingly showing her preparing for something. The woman was preparing to put on a strip show during the first half of Shadow Ace's act.

He then delivered what appeared to be a snippet of Miley Cryus' 'Wrecking Ball' music video, and created various animals and effects with his hands. The performance featured acts of other well-known singers as well.

While Shadow Ace's performance captivated both the live audience and the judges, multiple viewers opted to slam the performer.
