It was a nail-biting moment for a Knoxville native who competed Thursday night on America's Got Talent on Channel 10.

Joe Castillo was one of six finalists for this season of the show, but Thursday, he was eliminated.

Castillo uses light and sand to tell stories.

After his elimination, the judges thanked Castillo for his original talent, something they said they've never seen before.

On his Facebook page, Castillo said "A last huge thank you to all friends, family and Go-Joe-Beret supporters. Win, lose or draw, this has been a wonderful opportunity to share some sand stories with the world."
