Kenny Thomas is from Paris and asked Howie to come to the stage as his assistant in his act. With a helmet on, Howie is laying flat out on the stage with Kenny revved up on a motor bike and hopping around him. Kenny then does a flip on the bike and then lands just near Howie on one wheel.

Next is comedian Brian Kellan and he is doing comedy. Simon gives the first X and calls it painful. Howie says he was rejected thousands of times and if this makes him better, then he will be successful.

Rob Lake is from Oklahoma and he is an illusionist. He says that he dropped out of college for this career and has planned this his whole life.

The last act tonight is singer Brody Ray, he is singing Jordan Smith’s “Stand in the Light,” because of the struggles he has faced, he was born female and is transgender.
