In case you missed it last night, our own master magician and world record holding card thrower Rick Smith, Jr (also fiance of Tiffany Marchak, singer in The Avenue) did a great job on America’s Got Talent! After performing this feat, the judges invited Rick to go to the next round in Vegas. He appeared again on July 7th in a Vegas week montage, where he threw playing cards at and popped large confetti-filled balloons above the judges heads.

Rick won’t be going to Los Angeles to be judged by America, but the verdict was already in as Rick has many other prior TV appearances under his belt, from Ellen DeGeneres’ daytime talk show to the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
