00:00I'm Dom, I'm 26 and I am a magician. When I was six years old my granddad
00:07wanted to find a way to relate to his grandkids. Something to bond with us and
00:11magic was what he chose and that's where my obsession with magic began. I loved it
00:17and decided I'm gonna be a magician. As I grew older I realized working as a
00:23magician is not always the most glamorous job. I've done shows where no
00:29one has watched. I've done shows in the pouring rain. I have endless horror
00:34stories and it got to a point where I questioned if magic was the thing that I
00:39really wanted to do. Then last year my granddad passed away. It made me think
00:46about those amazing times I had when I was a kid and it reminded me why I love
00:51magic. So I decided to continue the legacy that he created.
00:58America's Got Talent is every magician's dream but I'm a little nervous. This is the
01:06biggest stage in the world and I think that you've missed the mark. You've seen
01:10some incredible magicians on this show now they're headlining shows in Las Vegas. This
01:17could be what changes everything and I really hope it is.
01:22Hello. Hi. What's your name? My name is Dom Chambers. I am 26 and I'm from Australia.
01:30And what do you do in Australia? I do magic. Have you had like a really tough gig? I know
01:34as
01:34a comedian I have. I was once hired to perform magic at a funeral. You can
01:39imagine how tense that was. It was like I'm so sorry for your loss. But is that your
01:45card? Is that the one? What did you say when you got the booking? I said how much?
01:54So why America's Got Talent? Well this is the biggest stage in the world and I don't want to be
02:00doing
02:00those shows anymore. This is where I want to be. All right. Well, good luck. Go ahead.
02:04Okay. Folks, if you would like to see the appearing glass of beer trick, say yes. All right.
02:21One empty paper bag. One dramatic magic gesture. One beer.
02:36Coaster. But that's not it. This is the appearing glass of beer trick. Now, they say a good
02:54magician would never repeat the same trick twice. Well, lucky for you, I'm not a very good
03:03magician. All right. Here's one for the non-beer drinkers. Bottle of wine. In the bag.
03:14Whoa. A tiny bottle. Please. Bang. Wine. Whoa. Come on. Here we go. They say don't worry. In case of
03:32an emergency,
03:32see, always bring a spare coaster. But where there's a coaster, there's a beer. Not there.
03:55Nothing in the sleeves except for the coaster. But other than that, absolutely nothing to hide.
04:02No hidden glasses. No hidden beers. Except for that one. Here we go, America. Bag. Coaster. Beer. Yes. And another.
04:18Come on.
04:21All right. Here we go. No jackets. No sleeves. No shoe. That's my shoe.
04:39No. No.
04:42Fuck.
04:51Yes.
