Mel B's Bracelet Vanishes in AGT Magic Stunt!
15 Jul
Summary
- Magician borrowed Mel B's sentimental Spice Girls bracelet.
- He appeared to destroy personal items with a hammer.
- The act advanced Mawhinney with a 3-1 judge vote.
Magician Joel Mawhinney from Northern Ireland captivated America's Got Talent judges with a daring illusion. He borrowed personal items from the panel, notably Mel B's bracelet from her former Spice Girls bandmates. Mawhinney placed these items, along with Howie Mandel's phone and Sofia Vergara's photo, into a bag before appearing to smash them with a hammer, causing visible distress to Mel B.
True to his word, Mawhinney then made the items reappear. The phone was returned to Howie, Sofia's photo was found, and Mel B received her bracelet, all diamonds intact. While impressed by the magic, judges like Sofia and Howie questioned the necessity of the destruction phase. Simon Cowell agreed the act was lengthy, but the audience's positive reaction was undeniable.
Ultimately, Mel B, Sofia Vergara, and Simon Cowell voted yes, sending Mawhinney forward with a 3-1 vote. Howie Mandel cast the sole no vote, citing the performance's slow pace. The show airs Tuesdays on NBC and streams the next day on Peacock.
