Pasha is originally from Moscow, Russia. He introduced himself on stage by stating, “I’m an entertainer but would like to invest in real estate, just in case,” which caused everyone to chuckle.

He then told the judges that he typically performs alongside his wife but couldn’t tonight. “My wife and I perform together,” Pasha explains. “Unfortunately, she couldn’t make it here tonight. “She missed her flight.”

The judges appear concerned and ask if he has ever performed this performance solo before, to which he responds that he has not. But the show must go on.

Then he exits the stage, and Terry Crews appears, wheeling in a life-sized facsimile of his wife dancing beside him. The judges are at their wits end, trying to figure out how Pasha is pulling this off. The dance begins, and it has some fantastic maneuvers that appear unreal at moments.

Pasha appears at the end, folded in half, with his legs serving as the bottom half of his puppet and his arms as the bottom half of his wife’s puppet. “It’s the best act of the night,” one viewer writes on YouTube after seeing the footage.

This was one of the finest unique performances in AGT history, since the audience had no idea what was going on. Pasha impressed everyone, including the judges, with his uniqueness and brilliance.
