Avery and the Calico Hearts AGT

Although they are now off the show, many people fell in love with Avery and the Calico Hearts.

One of the funniest thing to happen while hanging out with folks from America's Got Talent is from a particular after-party in Beverly Hills. Here, on the west coast, NBC's AGT show is filmed at 6pm and we watch it live/delayed. So by the time filming is over, we can all gather around and watch the acts on TV as seen by others on the west coast. 9pm came fast and I sat to watch the acts. One of the early acts this particular night was the three girls making up Avery and the Calico Hearts. As I watched their act ending, they entered the room late and stood in front of me. Now, normally this would not be a big deal, but the timing was so perfect that it caused a slight mental lapse! I was not at a studio or stage but at a private home so it makes it more magical when someone walks off stage and walks next to you. From having lots of friends on TV, being on TV and doing magic, it's an interesting perspective sometimes. I had a small taste of the confusion I give to people everyday so I guess it's all fair!

It was a real treat to meet them and wish them well. I  don't think this will be the last we'll see of them! With four magicians walking around that night, I'm sure the girls will never forget this after-party!

Mini Judges Americas Got Talent

If you caught America's Got Talent on August 16th, 2011, you might have been glued to the screen when three little kids that looked like the judges appeared during an illusion! Seth Grabel just finished his Wild Card performance where a Delorean appeared on stage - then the doors opened and three cute little "mini-me judges" crawled out. They stood there posing as Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel - the judges from America's Got Talent. When the host, Nick Cannon, of AGT asked the little girl her name, she simply replied, "Hello Darling..." in a perfect Sharon tone. It was perfect TV in the making. 

Now, I happen to be friends and was involved with a couple contestants this year and I can tell you that the comment from little four year old was pure awesomeness and not rehearsed as much of reality TV is these days. Two of the kids happen to be the children of an amazing creative consultant, Bart Rockett. This is what Bart has posted about the kids. "Mini Howie is played by Kadan Rockett - 5 who has a full head of hair and went through nearly 4 hours of makeup. His sister Brooklyn Rockett - 4 plays Mini Sharon & Charlie Hartman -5 plays Mini Piers. All are child actors represented by Sha'Lin Talent in Burbank, CA. You can see what Kadan & Brooklyn Rockett really look like by searching their names on youtube and seeing their videos! It's funny."


Here's a fun shot of the after party with some of the gang. 

It was a fast paced trip, but fun to be involved. I'm sad to see both my guys out of the running now.
