Out of these 12 semifinalists, 3 impressed the judges with performing magic tricks. Colombia with a magic routine involving flying cards, pulling a huge pole out of his hat, and catching the judge’s chosen card in a rat trap, Singapore with 3 well-rehearsed magic tricks, including transforming a cards number, and determining the judge’s card through the art of melting metal wire, and Vietnam with a combination of a slick and dynamic magic routine, which included firing a handkerchief magically across the room from a gun into the middle of a chain of handkerchiefs, and a contemporary dance.

England
Singing ability seems to be favored by the judges, as 5 of the semifinalists make their way to the Top 12 with their vocal skills.Canada with his powerful and heartfelt rendition of Jay Sean’s “Down”, England who sang a song that he wrote himself, accompanied by a guitar, Mongolia with a traditional Mongolian operatic song, New Zealand who performed an Elton John song “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Me”, and finally Wales who performed a song by The Script and sang it a cappella.
Singapore
Venezuela
The last 4 semifinalists display an array of diverse and unique talents, which are equally impressive as their singer and magician counterparts. Bolivia with a well-choreographed dance routine accompanied by the Rihanna track “Where have you been?”, Croatia who performed gymnastics routines on rings, horizontal bars, and the floor, Czech Republic with a fantastic display of dance routine, going from modern dance music into a Latin American sound, and Venezuela who performed a Karate routine whilst playing drum.
Czech Republic
Wales
Two contestants, however, are yet to perform their talent. Netherlands is an accomplished piano player, but sadly the audition room did not have a piano. After showing the judges some video clips of his playing skills, he has been given the chance to take a separate audition in the near future, whereas Russia wants to use his film making skills as his talent. The judges are waiting to see his film which he is finishing the production on, and will be given the verdict later on as well. So they may be added to the shortlist if the judges are duly impressed.
Vietnam
Who will make it as the Talent challenge champion this year? Stay tuned!
