The AGT performer took the stage to demonstrate his shadow puppet skills, spawning some familiar shapes and some very unexpected ones.
During his performance, he created a woman with his hands and appeared to show her preparing for something.
No one would have guessed that the woman was getting ready to host a strip show, but that’s exactly what they saw in the first half of Shadow Ace’s performance.
He then delivered what looked like a snippet from Miley Cryus’ “Wrecking Ball” music video, created various animals and effects with his hands, introduced snippets from shows by other well-known singers, and completely mesmerized both the audience and the jury.
He received plenty of praise from viewers on Twitter.
One tweeted: “This was so creative and different, it was so good. I loved it.”
Another wrote: “This was very creative and fun!”
A third fan tweeted: “Very surprising, creative, imaginative, funny. Great work. I can’t wait to see him again.”

In the past, racy performers have been heavily criticized by AGT viewers.
HARD PASS
During an earlier preview of the show, fans saw Steel Panther take the stage and quickly decided it was a little too much for TV.
The heavy metal band received a standing ovation from the audience and judges Simon Cowell, Sofía Vergara, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel were equally impressed.
Upon seeing the long-haired, tattooed musicians, Howie joked, “Who doesn’t love country music?”
Lead singer Michael Starr told the America’s Got Talent judges that the band has six full-length albums, live recordings and even a concert DVD.
However, he confessed that while they found some success in smaller circles, their appearance on the competitive show gave them a chance to step in front of new audiences.
“It’s the best way to reach so many other people who haven’t seen us before,” Michael said. “And teach them the ways of heavy metal!”
But Steel Panther fans flooded the comments section with concerns about the group’s controversial catalogue.
Steel Panther songs have titles like Always Gonna Be a H*, All I Wanna Do Is F**k (Myself Tonight) and Party All Day (F**k All Night).
They even posted an obscene preview of their performance on their Twitter account and tweeted a Photo behind the scenes with the caption: “Just four guys backstage patiently waiting to give Simon Cowell hell.”
GREAT FEAR
It’s not just the series’ changing family-friendly nature that’s gotten viewers excited lately.
The show has performed some really scary stunts throughout the seasons and the season 18 premiere was no different.
Viewers at home watched in horror as an acrobatic performance nearly went horribly wrong during the show.
Sofiia Tkachuk, Olena Vykhovanets and Dana Karpovych make up the acrobatic group ThreeG.
The talented trio are originally from Ukraine and Olena is credited with putting the group together.
They’ve all been doing acrobatics all their lives, but have only been a trio for two years.
Their performance started out sexy and strong as they ditched their brightly colored blazers in favor of a more aerodynamic outfit.
Within seconds, Sofiia was balancing on Dana and Olena on Sofiia.
After positioning themselves in a gravity-defying position, the women’s tower began to tremble.
It wasn’t long before Olena fell to the ground on Sofiia.
The fall caused gasps and screams from the judges as they turned away from the stage in fear.
The strong and determined women stood up and brushed it off, but many were afraid they would move on, and it was palpable.
The women then performed a flawless maneuver in which Olena was thrown several meters into the air.
Then the group’s second acrobatic stunt was performed and they pulled it off. It was very well received by the jury and the audience.
A large and thick mat was brought onto the stage and it was clear that the women would perform a very dangerous stunt.
On their first attempt, the women fell so hard that Howie jumped out of his seat in fear.
They decided to try again, but again encountered difficulties.
