AGT Season 2 Flashback – Liang Patti Acrobatic Plate Spinner

Written by: John

In one of Piers finest (and jerkiest) moments on the show, he buzzes the plate spinning Liang Patti at the most opportune time. Her reaction after almost makes you cry for her. I’d love to see Liang do this live. I can’t imagine spinning 1 pate on a stick. Forget about spinning 8 at the same time. Ok, enjoy this flashback to season 2 of America’s Got Talent:

I’m always interested in the music that is used on America’s Got Talent. I believe that the song Liang Patti used is called Farfraes Dance Tom Toomey - Monfi Cat - Farfrae's Dance by Tom Toomey from South Africa Classical Gas Mason Williams - Phonograph Record - Classical Gas by Mason Williams. I’m not 100% sure, but you can also listen to Tom Toomey and the Monfi Casts perform it live in this video:
