The teenage aerialist had already revealed that he taught himself his tricks in his backyard at home, using Pink as an inspiration and with his mom using a tractor to keep his rig elevated in a tree.
His backyard origins as a self-trained aerialist are about as different from the glitz and glamor of the America’s Got Talent stage as can be, but there’s no denying that he nailed it in both his audition and his quarterfinals performance, with only the safety of knowing that he mastered his moves on a lower rig before moving on up.
