Preliminary[]

Shimshi's preliminary performance in Episode BC01 consisted of performing a series of card tricks including revealing a chosen card without his hands touching the deck and revealing a signed card in the battery case of Saf's phone. Saf gave him a standing ovation. His performance was not strong enough for the judges to send him to the Judge Cuts, eliminating him from the competition along with David Blaine and Landon Swank instead of Mat Franco.
