Geno Ploeger will be featured in the second episode of America\u2019s Got Talent Season 21, which airs on Tuesday night. Ploeger says he\u2019s wanted to perform on the show since he was 10 years old, when he watched magician Matt Franco win season nine of the competition.<\/p>\n

\u201cI watched him years ago, and ever since I watched him, I was like, \u2018okay, that\u2019s what I want to do,\u2019\u201d he explained. <\/p>\n

The magician said the experience was surreal, particularly seeing the America\u2019s Got Talent banners and signage at the theater in Hollywood.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw the banners hanging down you see on TV. I was like, \u2018wow, this is like what I see on TV. This is real,\u2019\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
