Who is Adam Winrich in America's Got Talent?

Adam Winrich, a 30-time whip-cracking world record holder, was born in Eau Claire and raised in Fall Creek. According to WEAU, Winrich graduated from UW Eau Claire with a double major in math and physics, but his true interest is whip cracking. He now holds the records for loudest whip-crack (148.7 dB), most fire whip cracks (totaling 314), and most whip cracks in a minute using two whips (A).

He described the origins of his passion for whip cracking during a media interview. “I started whip-cracking when I was eight years old after watching Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and then I learned to make whips it’s something I started doing off and on,” noted Winrich. “Then there was a renaissance fair that opened in Chippewa Falls that I started at, some of my friends told me to do a show there and I met other acts doing the renaissance fair circuit and they said ‘oh if you like doing this renaissance fair you should try doing other ones’ so it sort of snowballed from there,”

It will be interesting to watch what Winrich brings to the stage and, more importantly, if he can secure yeses from the judges' panel after this season of "AGT" has seen some unique talents unlike any other.
