America’s Got Talent is back for season 13. Host Tyra Banks is back for her second season. All four judges are Mel B., Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel.
The first act is a mother and daughter duo, Svetlana and Marina, who train cats. The cats attempt tricks that we usually see dogs do. They jumped through hoops, rolled on cylinders, hopped one over the other and balanced on beams. The judges give the cats and their trainers a resounding yes.
The next act is a magician named Shin. He asks Tyra pick a card from a deck, she picks the queen of spades, she writes her name on the card. He puts the card into the deck and glides his palm over it and raises it from the middle to the top and then we see the card imprinted on his chest. The tricks go on and on with the queen of spades. Howie says that by leaps and bounds it was the best slight of hand magic that he has ever seen. Mel B. thought it was unbelievable. Simon said he had it with card magic, but not now, this was unbelievable. Shin gets four big yes votes.

He doesn’t have experience of being on TV but he feels that he knows talent. He says that even though Howie is a professional comedian he thinks he could do a better job. Ian takes Howie’s seat to judge the next act. The act is a musician and his name is Mike who performs America the Beautiful by making farting noises with his hands, All four judges give him an X. Ian tells him that it was very disappointing. Simon fires Ian, tells he to leave and Howie takes back his seat.

Four Yes votes from the judges.
Fontane Umane is a group of four guy friends who love to perform and they have chosen to do comedy act to My Heart Will Go On.

The next act is James who says he is going to transform into a witch who is 748 years old. He found a mask at an antique store years ago and he knows it is actively possessed, the spirit of Isabel, the queen of France in 1885 at the age of 15. He opens a chest and takes out a mask, he comes back on to the stage with a mask on waving his arms about. He says he put a spell of creativity into the audience. He gets four No votes.
Now we get to see some creepy clowns followed by The Sacred Riana dressed like a doll that she is carrying. The girl is creepy, she keeps shaking her head. She goes down to the judges and really creeps them out. She goes up to Mel B. and shows her newspaper clipping about story; 12 people died in building blaze, suicide victim to blame. The girl spreads photos of the 12 people on the table and tells Mel B. to choose which one did it. Mel B. chooses Bob and when the girl folds down the paper, Bob is the one who did it.

All of a sudden, the news paper clipping was left on the judges desk, the girl is off stage, and it goes up in flames.
