The Professional Regurgitator

The Professional Regurgitator, whose real name is Stevie Starr, is a regurgitator act from Season 10 of America's Got Talent.

Background
Known as "The Professional Regurgitator," Stevie Starr spent the first eighteen years of his life in a children's home in Glasgow, and it was there that he discovered his own very special talent. "I think I was about four when I started swallowing my pocket money", says Stevie, "and then I tried other things like going out into the garden and swallowing a bumble bee and then bringing him back and letting him fly away."

He has since brought his talent to numerous television shows around the world including "Britain's Got Talent," on which he progressed to the Semifinals. 

Audition
Stevie Starr's audition in Episode 1002 consisted of swallowing four numbered coins. He then "regurgitated" them on demand, first a single coin and then two coins at once. He then swallowed a light bulb, regurgitated the last coin, and then released the light bulb. He soon swallowed powdered sugar, drank a glass of water and gurgled it in his mouth, and finally regurgitated the still dry sugar onto a plate Nick Cannon was holding. Howard Stern, Heidi Klum, Mel B, and Howie Mandel all voted "Yes," sending Stevie to the Judge Cuts Round.

Judge Cuts
Stevie Starr's Judge Cuts performance in Episode 1011 consisted of swallowing a plum tomato and a large blade. He regurgitated the blade and the tomato in two halves. He next swallowed five different coins labeled with different letters. He regurgitated the coins in an order to spell a word. He finally swallowed a clip and regurgitated the coin stuck in the clip. Howard Stern, Heidi Klum, and Howie Mandel gave the act standing ovations. Stevie's performance was strong enough for the judges to send him to the Quarterfinals.

Quarterfinals
The Professional Regurgitator's Week 3 Quarterfinals performance in Episode 1016 consisted of swallowing Heidi Klum's ring, a lock, and its key. He then regurgitated the ring inside the lock. Because he "had trouble" regurgitating the key, he swallowed a pool ball, and then pushed up the key and ball. The key successfully unlocked the lock. Howard Stern, Heidi, and Howie Mandel all gave the act standing ovations. The Professional Regurgitator received enough votes to be sent to the Semifinals in Episode 1017 along with Oz Pearlman.

Semifinals
The Professional Regurgitator's Week 2 Semifinals performance in Episode 1020 consisted of swallowing smoke from two cups, swallowing liquid soap, and water to blow bubbles. He then exhaled half of the smoke into a large bubble. He then swallowed and regurgitated a raw egg. Howard Stern, Heidi Klum, Mel B, and Howie Mandel all gave him standing ovations.
