Vegas Round
Chipps Cooney was one of the Judge's Favorites in the Vegas Round. He was sorted into the "Magicians" category. His performance consisted of once again purposefully performing bad magic tricks but this time explaining how to do them, again in a bored and uncaring tone.. His audition was strong enough for the judges to send him to the Quarterfinals along with MURRAY.
