- Hi. - Hi.
- Who are you? Where you from?
- My name is Jack Williams. - Yes.
- I am from Indianapolis, Indiana.
[cheering]
- And I'm guessing you are a magician.
- Close. I am a ventriloquist.
- Ooh. - Yes.
- Do you also know who is a very good ventriloquist?
- Right there. - Exactly.
- Fellow ventriloquist. - Yeah.
- We actually had three winners so far.
- Exactly. It's, honestly, big shoes to fill.
Terry was one of the first ventriloquists I ever saw.
And when I saw him on the stage, I just thought, like,
"I just want to do that. That's amazing."
And that's why I wanted to come here today.
I want to do this live, like, on the Vegas strip.
[cheering]
- Well, good luck to you. - Thank you.
- And we can't wait to meet your friend.
- Guys, give it up for my good buddy, Foster.
Ready, buddy? - Yeah.
- Here we go. - Whoo.
- Hello.
- Here we are, buddy, "AGT."
- My plan is working.
- What's your plan?
- Well, basically, I used you to smuggle me out here,
and now I'm gonna show my talent.
- He's funny.
- Cute. - So cute.
- What's your talent? - Ventriloquism.
- That's what I'm doing right now.
- Really? - Yes.
- [laughs]
- You think you're a better ventriloquist than me?
You think you can talk without moving your lips?
- Well, I don't have any, so yeah.
- Okay. - [laughs]
- Well, let's see who's the better ventriloquist
by doing some tongue twisters.
I'll start by saying Sally sells seashells
by the seashore, and then you go after.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Sally sells sea...
Sally-- - Come on!
- Okay. [laughter]
Sally... - It's like this.
Sally sells seashells by the seashore.
- Whoa.
- Can you do that without moving your mouth?
- [laughs]
- No. No, I can't.
- I love him.
- I'm gonna do something I said I would never do.
- You wouldn't. - I would.
- Please.
No.
- I'm gonna throw your voice. - What?
[gradually fades] What, what, what, what, what?
- Wow.
[no sound]
- I threw your voice. It's gone.
It's gone. It's over there.
- [silence] [laughter]
Wait, wait, wait, listen, listen.
I think I hear it coming back.
- [crescendo-ing] What, what, what, what, what,
what, what, what, what, what, what, what...
What?
I...
I have your voice.
And that means...
- I have your voice.
- Wow.
- Simon. - Yes.
- Help me.
- Here, here. Come here, come here.
[blows] - [groans]
That's better.
- Here, give it up for Foster, everybody.
- Yeah.
- Yeah!
- Wow.
- The judges are on their feet.
