Leon Etienne Gives Utica Shoutout on ‘America’s Got Talent’ & Has Howie Mandell and Howard Stern Kissing [VIDEO]
Utica Illusionist Leon Etienne got a second chance on 'America's Got Talent,' as Howard Stern's wild card choice, and he used every second of it. Etienne performed 7 magic tricks in 90 seconds and had Howard and the rest of the judges singing his praises. The performance even had Howard and Howie Mandell kissing and making up after an earlier argument in the show.
Etienne thanked Howard for bringing him back and Utica New York for supporting him. His supporters went to Twitter to show just how much they are supporting local talent.
@howiemandel I don't know about you, but when I think of Vegas, I think of Illusionists & @LeonEtienne is the best ever on @nbcagt

'America's Got Talent' Coming to Town
America's Got Talent is coming to town. Acts from the hit summer show will perform in the Turning Stone showroom, including the Season 8 winner. I wonder if Utica illusionist Leon Etienne and Romy Low will represent Central New York and wow the audience with his magic.
