America’s Got Talent Magician Scott Alexander Dead at 52 — Full Statement
Scott Alexander, a magician who competed in Season 6 of America’s Got Talent, died earlier this week after suffering a stroke. He was 52.
The tragic news was shared by Alexander’s wife Jenny on Instagram: “I lost my husband yesterday,” she wrote. “My kids lost their father. He suffered a stroke while working on a cruise ship in St Kitts and did not make it home to us. We are shattered. Please hold us in your prayers.”
Jenny actually served as her husband’s assistant on AGT in 2011 for an act in which she appeared seemingly out of thin air, making quite an impression on then-judges Howie Mandel, Sharon Osbourne and Piers Morgan. Unfortunately, Alexander was eliminated in the quarterfinals.
While discussing his craft on AGT, Alexander once said, “Sometimes people ask me what it takes to create a really good illusion. Well, it takes an awful lot of practice, a little bit of luck and sometimes, you’ve just got to pray about it.”
Alexander later appeared in the second season of Penn & Teller: Fool Us in 2015, joining forces with fellow AGT alum The Magic of Puck for a special double act.

This is sad.
Nolan Neal appeared on both “AGT” and “The Voice” and died young, too.
So very sad. Why are we seeing so many younger people dying this past year? RIP
Maybe you can find some answers on Rumble.
Probably from all the stress of having to constantly deal with dumb conspiracy theorist dog-whistlers like you
So sorry. My sincere condolences. I’m praying that the Lord strengthens you and your family through this difficult time. God bless and keep you.
A serious heartbreaker! RIP… Heaven is the lucky showplace tonight!
Very sad and sorry for your loss. The WHO, the CDC, Pfizer, and Moderna owe all of us an explanation of these multitudes of “sudden deaths” in people ages 20-60 including strokes and cardiac arrest. Something is very suspicious. The people are noticing the trend. We are not blind to our loved ones dying young! 💕ðŸ˜ðŸ’•
Oh, yay. Another anti-science loon must ramble nonsense.

May Mr. Alexander rest in peace and sending condolences to his loved ones.
Good reply! YES, RIP.
I see how we can’t escape ignorance
