LIM'S WIN IS THE SECOND VICTORY FOR MAGIC AT "AGT"
Lim is the second magician to take the first prize at "America's Got Talent." He is following in the footsteps of Mat Franco, who took the crown in 2015.
Curiously, in a talent show dominated by musicians, last season's winner was a ventriloquist, Darci Lynne.
SECOND PLACE WENT TO A GROUP ACT
Second place went to an Austrian dance troupe - Zurcaroh - led by Brazilian choreographer Peterson da Cruz Hora and their incredible dance routine.
A VIOLIN PLAYER IN THIRD PLACE, AND A STAND-UP COMEDIAN IN FOURTH
Nicknamed "The King of Violin", electric violinist Brian King Joseph is self-taught and dazzled the judges and the audiences with virtuoso performances, and won third place.
Stand-up comic Samuel J. Comroe, 30, was a particular favorite of Howie Mandel's Comroe, who suffers from Tourette's syndrome, incorporated his facial twitches and blinking in his act and won the overall fourth place.

FIFTH PLACE WAS WON BY A SINGING DAD
A singer from California, Michael Ketterer, 41, took fifth place, but his performance so impressed the music mogul Simon Cowell, that he promised that they would "continue this relationship."
Ketterer, a native of Knoxville, Tennessee, and a father of six, performed in the final with Garth Brooks, singing "Courage to Love," a song the country legend composed especially for him.
