‐ My name is Cameron Ross, and I am a singer.

Growing up in Texas,

country music is one of those things

that has been instilled.

When I was eight years old,

my parents took me to my first concert to see Shania Twain.

I remember the moment of being there

and knowing, like, that's what I want to do.

[somber music]

I started singing in little bitty towns

all over East Texas.

‐ Cameron Ross, ladies and gentlemen.

Cameron Ross.

‐ So it's such a huge deal, but at the same time,

I've come to the realization that I'm gay.

Coming out is always a hard thing.

And singing in small towns in East Texas,

there's a lot of religious people

and strict values.

So I started to see less interest in my music

and started losing gigs as well.

At that point, you start to question, like,

"Is this what I want to do?

Is your dream worth who you are?"

So I took a break from music to figure that out.

Now I know who I want to be,

and I'm absolutely ready to work back towards music.

Here we go.

And that's why I'm here.

It's, like, this is a huge deal.

My grandma would actually tell me

that this song was written about her

[woman laughs]

I was raised by a single mom.

She worked, looking back, an ungodly amount,

but was around a lot.

I don't really know how she did it.

We didn't have a teleporter.

Yeah, absolutely amazing woman.

So, Mom, I'm backstage at "America's Got Talent."

‐ I can't even say how proud I am.

My heart is bursting.

‐ I was born three months premature

with something called dyspraxia,

which is a pretty rare disorder.

I was born without reflexes and eye‐hand coordination.

I had the balance of a baby giraffe.

So I just grew up this lopsided,

uncoordinated oaf,

and so I was picked on.

But one day, when I was ten,

I said a zinger to a bully,

and the entire class collapsed in laughter,

and he never said it again.

Did that lead me to my current profession?

That's for psychologists

and anyone with ears to really figure out.

I'm gonna go on in a few moments,

and we'll see what happens.

‐ Well, if they don't laugh, tell them I'm coming for them.

‐ [laughs]

I'm incredibly nervous in a weird, excited way,

but hopefully it goes well.

In the end, stand‐up comedy‐‐

some people like it, and some people don't.

I got a weird vibe when I walk out onstage.

I'm 34, I don't look 34. I don't look any age.

I just look like I've been through stuff.

And 34 is a difficult age because it's not old,

but it's old enough that the world's changed.

Like, I'm old enough to remember‐‐

time was, you saw a fella with a neck tattoo,

Now you see a fella with a neck tattoo,

all you think is, "Oh, this latte is going to be amazing!"

And you got to do things to stay young.

I do things to stay young.

I recently borrowed money from my parents.

For those of you who never borrowed money

from your parents‐‐

the crew will know this, the celebrities will not.

[laughter]

You have to gather your parents together

and go, "Hello, Mother, Father.

"You know how you're supposed to teach me responsibility?

Well, you failed, and that comes with a hefty fine."

Now, I borrowed the money for a good purpose,

brothers and sisters.

I was getting married,

and someone had to pay for the wedding.

And it was nerve‐racking asking them for money.

It was nerve‐racking getting married,

because they say the day you get married

is the happiest day of your life.

And that is a judgment on my life.

I have lived a very exciting life.

I once was on a bus,

and a homeless man farted so loud,

it knocked over a child.

Seeing my girlfriend walk up the aisle of a church

will never make me that happy.

Not in a million years.

Thank you for your time.

‐ That's exactly what we're doing.

I brought my students here to perform for you all today.

‐ Great.

Montgomery, Alabama, has a lot of rich history.

It's a very difficult place to live in

at this point in time.

The crime rate is kind of high. The poverty rate is high.

Most of my students come in‐‐

they're really rough around the edges.

But the students come to the band room.

They learn discipline.

They learn how to play their instrument.

And so it's an escape from everything

that's going on in the city.

‐ Where are you getting the funding from

for the instruments and stuff?

‐ As of right now, the funding is something

that we actually do ourselves.

We go out into the community and raise money.

We do what we have to do in order to get what we can get.

That's what she does for a living.

She's my best friend.

‐ Oh! You're asking me!

It's something I really want to do,

and it would make a lot of that possible.

‐ Good for you.

Okay, well, you seem like a very nice person.

She's adorable. We're all watching.

Everyone is always like, "What is happening here?"

‐ All right, our first act is Max Major.

Max is a mentalist.

Now, Sofía, he's gonna need you to have a pack of cards.

Okay, Sofía, meet Max.

‐ Hi, Max! How are you? ‐ Hi, guys.

I'm really excited.

I never thought in a million years

this would be how we would meet each other.

‐ Max, where are you from? Where are you right now?

‐ Well, I'm in Las Vegas right now.

I just moved here earlier this year,

but I'm from a very small town in Maryland

which is called Woodbine.

‐ Oh, how great. Okay, let's start.

[dogs barking] ‐ Awesome.

You know, I was just thinking, it's so easy‐‐

‐ Sorry, my dogs have gone crazy.

Hang on.

‐ Mine's being quiet in the room next door.

‐ Sorry. ‐ That's okay.

I was just saying it's so easy

for all of us to feel disconnected.

And so, since I can't be there with you physically,

you know, on the stage,

I'm gonna try to connect with you guys mentally.

‐ Oh, wow.

‐ So here's what I want you to do.

I want each of you‐‐

as well as everyone watching at home‐‐

to put your hands out in front of you,

just like mine,

with your fingers spread wide apart.

And I'm gonna attempt to control your mind

through the screen.

So I want you to squeeze your hands together

nice and tight, your thumbs crossed on top.

And bring your hands up like you're making a prayer.

And then take your two index fingers,

your pointer fingers, and put them towards the sky,

together like mine, just like this.

And then I want you to separate those two fingers

by about an inch and look at your fingers.

And imagine they were coming closer and closer together.

Imagine magnets, teeny tiny magnets, pulling those fingers

closer and closer, tighter and tighter.

And the closer they get, the tighter they pull

until eventually those fingers touch.

‐ That is so weird.

‐ And when they touch, they can just become stuck fast,

stuck like glue.

‐ That is so weird! ‐ You're controlling it?

We're not just doing it. ‐ That is so weird.

‐ Wow! ‐ That is so weird.

‐ I heard Terry mention Sofía had a deck of cards.

Could you hold one of those decks of cards up?

I'm gonna see if I can match not just our thoughts

but out actions as well, Sofía,

through the screen. ‐ Okay.

Because I couldn't do that finger thing.

I don't know. It didn't work for me.

‐ Well, this'll give you a chance to let go a little bit

and use your imagination.

So we'll form a deeper connection here

just one‐on‐one. ‐ Okay.

‐ Can you take your cards out of the box?

And then when you're ready, spread the cards towards you.

I want you to find a card that speaks to you

and pull it up,

but don't let anyone see the face.

Perfect.

And then take the rest of the deck‐‐

I know it's hard with two hands‐‐

and flip it around

and put that card in there backwards.

Turn the rest of the cards towards us,

the whole deck.

‐ So smooth, Sofía. So smooth.

‐ I'm very good with my hands, Heidi.

‐ There you go. And slide it in backwards.

[laughter]

Well, it's the moment of truth.

I want you to spread your cards back out

And pull the one card out,

and show everyone what is the card that spoke to you.

‐ As de diamantes. ‐ The ace of diamonds.

Now, before this whole thing began,

I did the same thing that you did.

I reached in my deck, and I turned one card around.

I'm gonna do this very slowly so you can see

there's literally only one card in the deck

facing the opposite direction of every card

right in the center, just like yours was.

And I'll show you the whole deck.

The crazy thing is, even though we are hundreds of miles apart,

somehow, we could still connect.

‐ Oh, my God! ‐ Wow!

‐ Do I have a camera in here? ‐ How did that happen?

‐ You're a demon.

‐ That's amazing! ‐ Thank you.

‐ Heidi, what did you think of the magic?

‐ I liked it. I like you, too.

I think you're a good‐looking, charming person,

and I thought this was really cool.

‐ Thank you. ‐ What did you think, Howie?

‐ I thought it was amazing,

and I can only imagine

what you can do with the big stage

that "AGT" provides.

You're an amazing mentalist.

‐ The fact that you made the effort, you know,

with your presentation, for a magician,

it's really important 'cause it shows that you care.

So well done. ‐ Thank you so much.

‐ Well, it's time to vote. Simon?

‐ It's a definite yes. ‐ Heidi?

‐ A yes for me as well.

‐ Howie? ‐ Yes!

‐ He's still stuck.

‐ And I'm gonna say yes! ‐ Oh, my gosh!

‐ Well done, kiddo. ‐ Max!

Thank you, sir. Thank you.

That was awesome.
