America’s Got Talent 2010: Spellbinder the Magician

He’s hip, he’s suave, he’s Spellbinder (aka Walter King Jr)! Complete with a red suit (ok… a zoot suit), and some bling, he walks with a strut that could make some women swoon (not this blogger, though I could see the attraction).

According to his website, he has already performed at various venues on the Las Vegas strip… so why would he need America’s Got Talent?

I suppose seeing his act would help us out with that:

So his act consisted of playing with a handkerchief and having it stand up straight in his hands. After which he places the handkerchief on the top of his suitcase and starts dancing with it to the beat of the music…

Unfortunately the judges and the audience got bored with him and buzzed him out very quickly. While the judges were telling him how slow his act was going and that in this competition he can’t just ease into his act he has to grasp the audience right away. Spellbinder stood there, silent as he manipulated the handkerchief in his hands and turned it into a dove… and then subsequently turned it into two, effectively silencing the judges.

Question though is if that was enough to take him to Vegas? Or is it too little too late?
