I couldn’t help but sit there tonight nervous for my fellow ventriloquist to perform on the AGT stage. I was anxious and when I saw the singing Donald Trump do “Can’t Touch This” I thought about the performance that Darci did at the ConVENTion this year with her Grandma puppet. I was thinking, “Did the singing Donald just mess things up?” I should have know that wasn’t the case. As we all sat and waited I’m sure that many of you, like me, were already voting for her even before the performance. But when she finally closed the show and after all of the other excellent talents I really did realize they saved the best for last.

I mean come on! When she came out with her mouse puppet and started to manipulate it with the hand rods and showed skills of manipulation that we’ve only seen by the likes of Dan Horn I could only shake my head. All of this talent and she’s only been practicing ventriloquism for two years and she’s only twelve. SHE’S ONLY TWELVE!!!

Darci gives us hope for the future with her commitment and dedication to this art and once again kids are loving ventriloquism. I had a friend of mine ask me today if I gave lessons because her 11 year old daughter wanted to start learning ventriloquism. Don’t be surprised if the ConVENTion attendance explodes in the next year or two. I’m looking forward to see how else Darci is going to amaze us with all that she brings I got choked up watching such a talent and such a young age. Thanks Darci and I know you’ll be moving on to the semifinals!
