Seventh grader Van Horvath has tried out to be on America’s Got Talent. He hasn’t found out if he is actually on the show but I asked a few questions to see how auditions went.

Q: What did you do?

A: I did Magic Tricks (which I always do at the talent show).

Q: When did you audition?

A: I auditioned  December 17th

Q: Where did you audition and how many people were there?

A: I auditioned in New York City (there are multiple locations in which you can try out) and there were over 1,000 people there.

Q: What acts did you see people doing?

A: I saw comedians, girls twirling batons, and a lot of singers.  My mom’s friend’s daughter sang “One Day.”

Q: Why do you think you could get in doing Magic Tricks?

A: I think I could get in because there aren’t many Magicians.

Q: When do you find out if you are on the show?

A: I will find out in Mid-March. If I get in I will get an e-mail and a letter.  If I don’t get in, I won’t hear anything!

So, Galway, yell “Presto!” and think positively that Van will get a call and/or email.  No news isn’t good news!  Van is pretty chill about it though.  He said even if he doesn’t get a call back, it was a great experience.
