How Did Colins Key Do?
For his Top 12 trick, Colins Key did a spike-in-cup type mentalism effect. For it, he borrowed Nick Cannon's $250,000 watch, and put it in one of three paper bags. He put cheap watches in the other two, and shuffled the bags, inviting the female judges to pick one each. He then took a hammer to the two chosen bags, destroying the watches inside. Meanwhile, he had Howie Mandel set his watch to a random time. He then revealed that Nick's watch was inside the remaining bag, completely unharmed and set to the chosen time. All things considered, It was better then his last performance, but sadly, not by much. The trick was easy to follow, and Colins himself didn't make any major errors. However, he relied too much on an uncooperative audience (again). At the point when Howie was supposed to read the time on his watch (To the nearest minute), he was unable to, and it was a while before Mel B read the time off correctly. This resulted in Colins going over the 90-second time limit for the second consecutive performance. Howard Stern correctly stated that he needed to "speed things up". This claim was highlighted by the fact that Howie and Heidi were unable to give their verdicts due to time constraints (but it is likely that they would have been all praise). Colins Keys performance was inferior to the final performances of Michael Grasso and Landon Swank, the last two magicians to make it this far, but this time, there are more spots in the final (6 instead of 4) and a less competitive lineup, which is good for Colins.
What are his Chances?
Due to his online fanbase and weak competition, Colins has a moderate chance of making it through to the grand final, but, unless he ups his game drastically, he has no chance of winning.
