WHAT TRICK DID HE PERFORM?
Landon had host Nick Cannon sign a double-sided mirror front and back, put a sheet of paper over the front, stood behind the mirror, walked through both paper and mirror, then showed the mirror intact and the signatures still there. It wasn't amazing or that hard to figure out, but the signatures added a unique spin. Landon is beginning to carve a niche for himself as a performer who does original and impressive spins on what are normally Ho-Hum tricks
WHAT DID THE JUDGES SAY?
Piers asked to see the back of the mirror, and after Landon confirmed that the signature was on the back, Piers, after making everyone worry by saying how much he liked the first two tricks Swank did, usually a sign that a judge doesn't like the newest one, said it was "very impressive". Sharon, however, was "Confused" but also found it "Very Interesting". Which one? Howie, however, said that the presentation was "Lacking" (The issue that got Murray Sawchuck eliminated last year, although, unlike him, Swank does not have as many excellent opponents in his heat or a direct rival) and preferred his Vegas performance
WHAT IS HIS COMPETITION LIKE?
In a word, lacking. There are two acts likely to get an automatic pass: The Silhouettes, who posed as American Landmarks (Although they ruined this effect by overlapping real silhouettes of these landmarks over themselves) and the Smage Brothers, A duo of stunt motorbikers and their assistant, who are direct successors to last years finallist, Jeremy Vonschoonhoven. There are also four decent but unspectacular singing acts; Dani Shay, who has a voice with plenty of potential but lacks confidence or a firm handle on her act, Daniel Joseph Baker, who only sings Lady GaGa songs, Dylan Andre, who is shaky and forgettable, and Mona Lisa, who the judges felt didn't stand out.Only one of these will go through, and it will be either Daniel or Mona Lisa. Meanwhile, Pole Dancer Steven Retchless recieved praise from Howie and Sharon, but Piers dislike the act, and I don't think people will vote for a pole dancer. Attack Dance crew, like the singing acts, were talented but meh, and Western act The Rhinestone Ropers, comedian Geechy Guy and juggler Thomas Johns all fell flat and can be ruled out.
WHAT ARE LANDON'S CHANCES OF ADVANCING?
Landon has a moderate to high chance of advancing, and I think he will get through as a judges choice
