Meet Darci Lynne Farmer- The Ventriloquist

Young Darci is a shy girl. She came to America’s Got Talent and showcased her skills of ventriloquism. She was accompanied by her family backstage and on the stage she brought her puppet-Petunia the rabbit, to perform.

Darci received a standing ovation from the audience, as well as from the judges. Judge Simon Cowell says, “We had an act early on, who were very good but I’m not gonna remember them in an hour.” He continues, “I’m gonna remember you in a week, in a month, in a year. You’re both brilliant and when you’ve got it, you’ve got it,” reported KFor.com.
