SCHUMACHER

Schumacher is an animal-mask illusion comedy act performed by duo Ryu and Yuya from Japan. The idea originated when Ryu found a dog mask and decided to incorporate it into their show. Performing for more than 11 years, they have perfected their act by experimenting with various mask designs to gauge audience reactions. What sets their act apart is its simplicity, wearing masks backward, yet it never fails to bring smiles to faces worldwide. Their goal for competing on "AGT" is to achieve global recognition, representing Japanese art on the world stage. Having wowed judge Sofia Vergara with their unexpected comedy routine and receiving her Golden Buzzer, they believe their highly original and unique performances give them the edge to win.
