"I really feel like I belong here. I want to show America that even something so small can create so much wonder," he said in the opening preview scenes of his act Tuesday night on AGT.

After his performance he got a standing ovation from all four judges.

"By leaps and bounds by far the best magic I've ever seen," said Judge Howie Mandel. "If you're not in the finals, then..."

"What you do is amazing." said Mel B.

"You're like Harry Potter without the glasses," said Cowell.

He's also got some accolades up his sleeve. Not only is he a final contestant wowing the judges on America's Got Talent, but the Acton-Boxborough Regional High School alum was a winner at the 2015 International Federation of Magic Societies World Championships — dubbed the Olympics of magic — toured China and Scandinavia, and gigged in Spain, France, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Taiwan, Sweden, Hong Kong, and Singapore, where his parents are from, according to Boston.com which recently profiled the former MA resident.
