one truly magical night! The talented magician was crowned the new champion on Wednesday, and he says it's all because of the support of the show's judges.Tavella took home the season 16 grand prize after a two-hour finale, beating out 16-year-old self-taught aerialist Aidan Bryant and veteran stand-up comic Josh Blue.The talented illusionist spoke with ET's Matt Cohen on the carpet after the big night, and admitted that he'd been so caught up in the moment he'd forgotten what the judges told him or what he share with them after his victory."[So I'd like to] say thank you to all of the judges for every word of encouragement they've spoken," Tavella said.
