Magic Mike Makes the Judges Cry With His Emotional Audition on Australia’s Got Talent!

“Even before you got into the very personal details of the story, I have never heard an audience so quiet.”

Judge David Walliams said as much after watching 28-year-old magician Michael Webb’s heartfelt performance on Channel Seven’s Austr

As Magic Mike, Michael has established a reputation at birthday celebrations, weddings, business events, and more around Canberra and beyond. However, he has wanted to share a narrative ever since he drew out his first deck of cards and amazed audiences with what transpired next. An account of “Jack.”

Before giving Shane Jacobson instructions to select any card, sign his name on it, and present the card to the other judges and audience, Michael requested judge Alesha Dixon to shuffle a deck of cards on stage. After that, Michael shuffled the autographed card into the deck without identifying which one it was.

He took a jack card out of the deck and introduced Jack to the interested audience.

He has many friends and a lovely family. He pulled out a joker card and continued, “And they think he’s kind of funny, they always think of him as a bit of a joker.”

They truly avoid him when he’s out on the town with his friends. He drew a king card and remarked, “They call him the king.”

alia’s Got Talent.

When he took out a queen card, he said, “which is kind of ironic because whenever the night ends up at the karaoke bar, he’s always the one singing Queen.”

As the story went on, Michael proceeded to draw cards without looking that were exactly related to his narrative, like “full house,” “flush,” and pertinent numbers.

However, even on the happiest of days, like as Christmas or his birthday, he would frequently pause and ask himself, “What’s wrong with me?” as he observed the entire house filled with family and friends enjoying themselves. Like, why am I unable to enjoy myself?

He felt worse the more he considered this, and the worse he felt, the more guilty he felt. He would suddenly feel ashamed and flushed with emotion. What would Jack do then? He would cry in a peaceful room in the house.

Michael claimed that Jack didn’t realize he was far from alone until he found out that 3318 Australians had committed suicide in the most recent year.

According to him, “that’s 63 people every single week, and for every person that did, another 20 tried to.”

“So, are you aware of Jack’s decision? I hope that by sharing this experience today, I may help at least one person get their act together. Jack chose to share his tale on Australia’s Got Talent.

By now, the judges and Michael were fighting back tears. “You’re doing great, mate,” Shane whispered to him.

“I want all Australians who are truly having mental health issues to remember that there can be no rainbow without rain,” Michael went on.

He pulled out the very ace of diamonds card Shane had previously signed and declared, “So I want all Australians to shine bright like a diamond.”
“You see, Jack was a 28-year-old man, and he believed that 28-year-old men should be strong and not express their emotions.”

The judges were astounded by Michael’s performance, calling it “the perfect act” and “mesmerizing.”

“It was so touching. Alesha remarked, “I’ve been doing this show for a very long time, so it was really amazing to see something like that.”

Michael expressed gratitude for the deck of cards he was holding, saying it “helped give me courage and lower my inhibitions,” but he also felt as like a huge burden had been lifted.

Since 2018, whenever I heard horror stories and days like RU OK?, I wanted to tell this experience. As the day came, I kept thinking, “Maybe I should just do it myself and post it online,” he said.

Michael believed this was his opportunity when AGT contacted him after learning about his accomplishments in 2019.

“It felt good to finally have it finished and broadcast—and broadcast fully.”

He was astounded by the response as well. Michael has gotten hundreds of messages from “strangers” who discovered him on social media, in addition to requests from Menslink and the Black Dog Institute to re-share Jack’s story with their organizations.

“I think I can talk to my friends and family if you can stand up and tell the world your story,” read one particularly potent one. Thank you.

“It’s a huge win if this can help one person,” Michael stated.

“It has been overwhelming to have multiple people reach out.”
