Throughout the seasons, magic on America’s Got Talent has been anything but boring.
Many extraordinary magic acts have been featured over the years, and some have reached the final stages of the show.
Dustin Tavella, a magician, is the latest AGT champion to take home the $1 million prize and a headlining show in Las Vegas.
Here are four other brilliant entertainers who’ve made AGT history and left us all scratching our heads — in the best way possible.
1. Mat Franco
The year is 2016. It’s America’s Got Talent’s ninth season, and Mat Franco becomes the first-ever magician to be crowned a winner on the show.
It was a moment that made AGT history and showed that close-up magic, when done right, can amaze, thrill, and entertain an audience of millions.
Mat Franco’s personality-driven, skill-based sleight of hand magic, which also includes storytelling, continues to leave audiences awe-struck today.

2. Shin Lim
We couldn’t talk about magic on America’s Got Talent without including Shin Lim, the magician who won the show twice (once in season 13 and again in season one of AGT: The Champions).
The Canadian entertainer has dazzled everyone with his incredible card manipulation and sleight of hand.
His elaborate close-up card magic routines and suave stage persona have made him one of the most popular entertainers ever appearing on the show.

3. The Clairvoyants
The Austrian magician and mentalist duo competed in season 11, finishing as the runner-up.
Throughout their journey on AGT, the two entertainers have been praised for their extraordinary skills. The mentalist tricks they showcased on the show made it seem like they possessed supernatural powers.

4. Collins Key
Collins Key rose to fame as the youngest magician finalist in AGT’s history. He was only 16 years old when he auditioned for Season 8 of the show.
However, despite his young age and lack of experience, Collins left a lasting impression on the judges and the audience.
His energetic close-up magic tricks, strong personality, and fresh approach to magic have helped Collins become a hit with audiences from all walks of life.
For his final performance on the show, Collins performed a baffling close-up magic trick in Kathie Lee and Hoda.
