Piff the Magic Dragon is a magician/comedian act from Season 10 of America's Got Talent.

Background
A star of Penn & Teller: Fool Us, imagine Larry David in a dragon suit performing magic tricks and you’re on the right track. With over 12 million YouTube hits to his name, Piff the Magic Dragon has performed to hundreds of thousands of civilians in venues such as Radio City Music Hall, Shakespeare’s Globe, the O2, London and Sydney Opera house.

His solo show has had five record breaking runs at the Edinburgh Fringe, two sell-out seasons at Soho Theatre in London’s West End, a national tour of the UK and Australia. He was the opening act for Mumford & Sons on their 17 date UK tour and has just completed a six month residency at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas in their flagship show Vegas Nocturne. 

He is also seen in the Mumford & Sons album cover, "Babel", behind the band. 

Audition
Piff the Magic Dragon's audition in Episode 1001 consisted of inviting Heidi Klum to the stage. He sealed a card in an envelope and had Heidi pick one card randomly from a deck of cards and signed it. He opened the envelope to reveal a different card to the one she picked. Then, through bending the card in different arrangements, Piff created the illusion of Heidi's card transforming into that of his prediction. Notably, Piff ate a banana during the judges' comments because "dragons love snacks." Howard Stern, Heidi, Mel B, and Howie Mandel all voted "Yes," sending Piff to the Judge Cuts round.

Judge Cuts
Piff the Magic Dragon's Judge Cuts performance in Episode 1008 consisted of inviting Heidi Klum on the stage so that she could sign a playing card. He then gave a full deck of cards with the random card to his dog Mr. Piffles. Mr. Piffles than tossed the cards into the air; Piff grabbed one of those cards. He revealed the card was not actually Heidi's card; in fact, her card was actually in an unopened can of dog food. Impressed by the performance, guest judge Neil Patrick Harris used his Golden Buzzer on Piff, sending him straight to the Quarterfinals.

Quarterfinals
