America's Got Talent Season 8 Finalist, Leon Etienne

[Scott Wells]

America is obsessed with "reality" TV shows and "competitions". One such popular show, "America's Got Talent" (sic) has seen many magicians and mentalists move into the finals.

Last year, illusionist Leon Etienne and Romy, finished in 13th place on AGT. I caught up with Leon at this year's F.F.F.F. Convention where Leon talked about his experience on the show. He talks about how he got on the show, his preparations, and what it has meant to him after the show was over. If you are considering auditioning for AGT, then you must get the perspective from someone who has been there and done that. If you have no interest in being on the show (or even watching it), then you, too, will find his stories fun and interesting.
