“I didn’t expect it at all! This isAGT:All-Stars, every act is so brilliant, so when Heidi pressed the Golden Buzzer, I actually had to tap my leg to check I wasn’t dreaming!” he adds.

Though Crews was involved in his act, McCann insists that the host had no idea what was to come.

“Terry knew nothing beforehand,” he explains. “In fact, after we came off stage he said, ‘How did you get this superhero suit onto me, Aidan?!?’ … Magic!! But I didn’t rehearse with him or anything so he knew nothing about the act or how I was going to include him. I just knew that he would be perfect, I am a massive fan of his! He has such great energy and showmanship!”

Though he’s one of the youngest acts on the show and, so far, the youngest to compete in the finale, McCann does not find consider that a disadvantage. In fact, he has high hopes of winning the whole thing.

“I would have to buy a swimming pool for my back garden, even though the weather here in Ireland is not the best — it rains a lot!” he adds. “I’d really love to have my own show in Vegas, that would be awesome! I performed in [AGTseason 13 winner]Shin Lim’s showLimitlessfor one night, when I was 10 years old, so if I won, I would love the opportunity to go back to Vegas and to have my own show…thatwould be magic!”
