America's Got Talent (AGT) spin-off AGT: All-Stars aired a brand new episode on Monday, January 23, at 8 pm ET on NBC. The one-hour episode witnessed 10 former contestants from all over the world across different Got Talent franchises competing against each other to stand a chance of winning the coveted title and the grand cash prize of $1 million. While some impressed viewers, others failed to do so.

On this week's episode of AGT: All-Stars, magician Aidan McCann impressed everyone with his magic skills. Later, judge Heidi Klum, who loved the act, pressed the coveted golden buzzer for him. McCann's performance was the first non-AGT act to receive a golden buzzer this season. Fans, however, were left divided by Klum's decision.

Every week on the hit reality competition series, 10 former contestants, including winners, finalists, and memorable performers, try to impress judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, and Howie Mandel as well as the live audience and viewers back home to enter the top 11 to compete in the grand finale. Only time will tell who makes it to the final round.

Magician Aidan McCann, who participated in Ireland's Got Talent when he was just 9 years old, returned to perform on AGT: All-Stars. As he made his way to the stage, Cowell called him "Harry Potter," with real magic powers.

The contestant then reflected on his journey and revealed that he started doing magic about eight years ago and reached the finals of Britain's Got Talent season 14 in an effort to display his magic skills to a bigger audience.

Although he was eliminated after being so close to winning, McCann performed in different shows worldwide and also appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, performing in front of celebrities, including Jonas Brothers and with inspiration, Shin Lim. Revealing his biggest dream, McCann revealed that he wanted to have his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

For his audition on AGT: All-Stars, Aidan wore a three-piece suit that he claimed no one had. But as soon as he called host Terry Crews to accompany him and choose the name of a superhero, viewers discovered that the latter was wearing the same suit.

When Crews chose Titan as the superhero, the young magician took his comic and handed it over to the judges. In the comic, the judges had to color Titan using their choice of marker pens.

McCann returned to the stage and blindfolded himself ahead of the judges' coloring. The magician then asked each of the judges to pick their own choice of color to fill in the cape, shorts, shirt, and legs of the superhero. After the judges were done with their job, the magician ripped off his suit and turned out to be the same superhero Titan with the same colored clothes as the one in the comic.

However, the AGT: All-Stars contestant's clothes were named Titan Jr. Terry Crews then ripped off his suit and was revealed to be Titan, once again wearing the same colored clothes as the one in the comic. The judges and viewers were spellbound with the performance, which led to Heidi Klum pressing the golden buzzer.
