Scott Alexander, the magician who captivated judges on season 6 of America's Got Talent, died Sunday following a stroke, his wife Jenny shared. Alexander suffered a stroke while performing on a cruise ship in Saint Kitts, Jenny revealed on Instagram. "We are shattered," she wrote alongside family photos. "Please hold us in your prayers." The magician appeared on season 6 of the competition series America's Got Talent in 2011 and impressed judges Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne, and Howie Mandel by making his assistant (wife Jenny) appear out of thin air, with the help of water and levitation. http://instagram.com/p/CoVCs4IpHrp Alexander advanced into the Vegas Round and later Quarterfinals, where he created the illusion of a disappearing gospel choir, but did not receive enough votes to place in the competition. The illusionist revealed in his audition tape that he and wife Jenny, who were married for over a decade, began touring as magician and assistant right out of college, performing at shows in Vegas. "We decided it was more important to us to start a family," Alexander said. "Now that we have three beautiful children, I feel like this is the right time to take it back to Vegas."

Scott was one of the most memorable contestants on season 6 of AGT. In his audition, he made his wife Jenny (also his assistant) appear out of thin air and then levitate with water. Judges Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne, and Howie Mandel were so impressed with Scott’s audition and he moved onto the next round. Scott was eventually eliminated in the quarterfinals after he performed an illusion where a gospel choir disappeared and then reappeared. The winner of that season was jazz singer Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. After AGT, Scott appeared on season 2 of Penn & Teller: Fool Us, the magic competition series created by Penn Jillette and Teller. Sadly, Scott’s not the first AGT alum to pass away. Most recently, season 15 contestant Nolan Neal died of “acute combined drug toxicity” at the age of 41 in July 2022. Nolan was found dead in his apartment in Nashville. The cause of death was revealed three months later.
