The AGT performer took the stage to demonstrate his ability to do shadow puppets, pulling out some familiar shapes and some very unexpected ones.
During his performance, he created a woman with his hands, seemingly showing her preparing for something.
No one would have guessed that the woman was preparing to put on a strip show but that’s exactly what they saw during the first half of Shadow Ace’s act.
He then delivered what appeared to be a snippet of Miley Cryus’ Wrecking Ball music video, created various animals and effects with his hands, featured bits and pieces of other well-known singers’ shows, and totally captivated both the audience and the judges.
On Twitter, he received plenty of praise from viewers.
One Tweeted: “That was so creative and different it was so good. I loved it.”
Another wrote: “That was very creative and fun!”
A third fan tweeted: “Very surprising, creative, imaginative, fun. Great job. I can’t wait to see him again.”

In the past, racy performers have faced major backlash from AGT viewers.
HARD PASS
During an earlier preview of the show, fans watched Steel Panther take the stage and quickly decided it was a bit 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 appeared equally impressed.
Upon seeing the long-haired, tattoo-covered musicians, Howie joked: “Who doesn’t love country music?”
Lead singer Michael Starr told the America’s Got Talent judges the band has six full-length albums, live recordings, and even a concert DVD.
However, he confessed that while they have achieved some success in smaller circles, their appearance on the competition show gives them a chance to get in front of a new audience.
“This is the best way to reach so many other people who have never seen us before,” Michael said. “And teach them the ways of heavy metal!”
But fans of Steel Panther flooded the comments section with worry over the group’s controversial catalog.
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 to their Twitter account, tweeting a behind the scenes photo with the caption: “Just four dudes backstage patiently waiting to rock Simon Cowell’s b**ls off.”
MAJOR SCARE
It’s not just the changing family-friendly nature of the show that viewers are buzzing about as of late either.
The show has featured some seriously scary stunts through the seasons and the season 18 premiere was no different.
Viewers at home looked on in horror as an acrobatic act nearly went horribly wrong during the show.
Sofiia Tkachuk, Olena Vykhovanets, and Dana Karpovych make up the acrobatic group ThreeG.
The talented trio is originally from Ukraine, and Olena was credited with putting the group together.
They have all been doing acrobatics for their entire lives, but they have been a trio for only two years.
Their performance started off sexy and strong as they ditched their colorful blazers for a more aerodynamic outfit.
Within a matter of seconds, Sofiia was balanced on top of Dana, and Olena on top of Sofiia.
After getting into a gravity-defying position, the tower of women started to shake.
It wasn’t long before Olena was falling to the ground on top of Sofiia.
The fall elicited gasps and screams from judges as they turned away from the stage out of fear.
The strong and determined women stood up and brushed it off but many were nervous about them continuing on and it was palpable.
The women then performed a flawless maneuver where Olena was thrown several feet in the air.
Then, the group’s second acrobatic stunt was performed, and they pulled it off. It was received very well by the judges and the audience.
A large and thick mat was brought out on stage, and it was clear the women were about to perform a very dangerous stunt.
On their first attempt, the women fell so hard that Howie jumped up from his seat in fear.
They decided to try again but once again struggled.
