A lot of talented people have been auditioning for “America’s Got Talent” not only for a chance to win $1 million, but also for a chance to showcase their act. In Season 11, young magician Kadan Bark Rockett wowed judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Mel B and Howie Mandel with his hilarious magic tricks. In all of his acts, Rockett was joined by his nine-year-old sister, Brooklyn. Even though they did not win last season, the duo recently performed in front of 150 kids in Madison as part of PUCUDA and Leading Edge’s “Rocketting Into the New Year” program.

Following their successful performance, company president John Rexroad was very pleased with his decision to tap the siblings. “I, as a child, had people that mentored me and the children’s father had mentioned that the kids were learning the business side of it and that they do their own tricks. They are taking part in my production company now and it gives them an opportunity,” he told Shoreline Times.

“America’s Got Talent” Season 12 will return to NBC in May.
