They Used The Judges' Table For The Most Insane Magic Trick! | Young & Strange AGT 2026

Hello, how are you? Good, thank you. Good. Who are you? I'm Richard Young. And I'm Sam Strange. Okay. And tell us a bit about you, please. We met in our, like, twenties. We were both close-up magicians doing magic together, and then we decided if we joined forces, we could make the magic even better. Okay. And how long have you been together for? About 15 or 16 years we've been performing together. Wow. We've took every gig that is offered to us. Yeah. But we have a dream, and that is we want a Vegas show. I'm trying to imagine now I'm in Vegas, and I've just paid a lot of money to see you. Right? Oh, okay. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, okay. And we're going to impress you, hopefully. And in order to do this, may we join you at the desk? Whatever you want. With all of that, we don't... It feels like we're about to get some work done. Let's head down here again. Now, if everything goes to plan, there'll be champagne all around. Oh. Thank you, yes. You look like an actor. I look like who? You look like that actor. Jonah Hill. Jonah Hill, yes, I get that a lot. Yes. That's cool. Yeah. What can I say? Nice to meet you. So over the last several seasons, you've had some of the world's greatest close-up magicians perform for you here at this iconic desk. There is one big difference, though, between magicians like Shin Lim and Matt Franco. Young and strange are not close-up magicians. We are grand illusionists. You are grand illusionists? Yes, but on a less than grand budget. Now, Young, I'm sorry to say, mate, this is actually a smaller desk than I'd imagined. That is going to be a little bit of a problem. Now, Simon, we want to make sure you don't get injured. This is a little bit dangerous, so we're going to have to ask a favor of you. Would you all mind moving up? Can you move to create some space? If we can get you to roughly where Simon is, that'd be great. If you shuffle down, Mel B, if you want to head that way. Want me to move down, too? Yeah. So you have to take care of Simon. He's a national treasure back home, you see. There you go. Is he? No, I'm not. I'm not. Actually, I am. Now, Mel B from the Spice Girls, he's your favorite Spice Girl. Yeah, you are my favorite Spice Girl. Hello, hello. Simon, you're going to be closest to the action here, so at any point you feel uncomfortable in what's happening, you can end the performance immediately by pressing the golden emergency stop button right here. That's what it's for. Okay. Glad you told me. Remember that. We haven't thought this through properly. This red thing just does not come off. Yeah, don't worry about that, mate. You just gave yourself a red buzzer. Well, he was probably going to press it anyway. He was going to press it anyway, wasn't he? Here we go. What's happening? He's getting in a box, Mel. Getting in a box? Can he fit in the box? We're going to find out. That's funny. A world first, a grand illusion, close up. Stop it. Stop it! I'm scared. Sophia. I loved it. Sophia, cheers to you, cheers to you. God. You guys are so funny. That's funny. That was magic, for sure. That was magic. For me, it was the perfect audition. I mean, I believe in magic, right? But that was crazy magic. I believe in magic, I believe in comedy, and to answer what Simon said right at the beginning, can I imagine having paid a huge price to watch you on the Las Vegas Strip? Absolutely, yes. I want to see her face. Well, I'm not jumping out of my chair like you. Come on. Okay, Howie, yes. Mel. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Sophia. I want to see you again, and I know it's going to be even better, yes. You are through to the next round. I loved that. Did you love it? I found them a bit annoying. What? I found them a bit annoying. They were not annoying, they were fun. I don't know. I was actually contemplating to press the golden buzzer. I swear to God. Was it that good? Yeah. Yeah, I'm like, you know what, you're really getting on my nerves. Obviously, you know, Simon, he was always going to be the hardest nut to crack. He was, he was, but listen, if you just keep taking it up, he'll be your biggest fan. I love you guys, man.
