Smoothini performs Magic Routine on America's Got Talent 2014 (VIDEO)

Smoothini performed a Magic Routine on America's Got Talent 9 Quarter Finals #4 on Tuesday, August 19, 2014.

I love Smoothini, but I almost felt like this act was too subtle for such a large room. He brings Howie and Mel B onstage for a trick involving money manipulation. In short, he turns a $1 bill into a $100, and then turn that into a $50, and that into a $20, all while telling a story that for every child you have, your money is halved. It's clever, and goes into mind-blowing territory when he moves the imprinted Federal seal on the bill, and then materializes a goldfish out of nowhere, which he drops into a glass of water. It was really impressive, actually, but I just don't think this was the right routine for a crowd this huge, since Howie had to keep breaking in to let the crowd know what Smoothini just did, in case they couldn't see it. If the audience can't get a good grasp on what you're doing, you're not going to get the best reception from the room. And perception in the room can occasionally affect perception at home among voters.

Heidi says, "I'm just not sure if you can take this to the bank." She feels like what he's done in the past was far more amazing, and that perhaps her disappointment was from how difficult it was for her and the rest of the audience to see it. Mel B loved the act because she was up close and personal, but she does agree that the act might have been too small for the audience. Howie disagrees and says the millions of viewers at home will be impressed by this. "You saw it, America! You vote for it, America!" Howard, meanwhile, says "This was just a mess." He says it was like being in a bar and having the worst seat in the house.

But what do you think of Smoothini?
