“To the acts that just left the stage, never give up on your dream,” said Simon.

Magician and former professional soccer player Jon Dorenbos, 42, finalist of the show’s season 11, also took the stage to perform in front of the crowd. He had the judges pick numbers from a box and then had host Terry Crews, 53, join him on stage.

Jon had football shirts appear in a locker that matched helmets and the numbers chosen by the judges. Heidi and Simon both chose the same number 8, but only Simon’s jersey had the correct number on it.
