William Scott Anderson from "America's Got Talent 2010" is one of the acts in Season 5 of the NBC talent competition series. He auditioned in Portland, Oregon.

William Scott Anderson is a 31-year-old magician. He advanced past the first round.

William Scott Anderson was born and raised in the state of Oregon. He joined the Army right out of high school as a Military Policeman. His route into performing magic was a direct result of his military service. After a year in Korea, and a few years at Ft. Lewis, Washington, William was assigned duties as a D.A.R.E. officer on post. He would travel around the five elementary schools on the installation teaching classes on the dangers of drugs and gangs. He first started learning magic tricks as a classroom tool to keep the students' attention. Eventually, he began to perform at birthday parties as a side job, which led to more jobs, such as working magic in restaurants. As luck would have it, while working slight of hand magic in a local restaurant, William was befriended by one of the best slight of hand artists in the country, Steve Dobson. Steve was eager to share his knowledge of the craft with his "prize" student, and it wasn't much longer before William was purchasing his first illusions. The more he performed, the bigger his shows and his audiences became. Eventually, he started performing for large corporations and public events under the stage name "Scott Slights."

William was honorably discharged from the Army in July of 2001. He moved back home to Oregon and joined the National Guard as a flight medic. That August, he received great reviews after performing at the Oregon State Fair. His world of magic seemed to be skyrocketing. Then came September 11, 2001. Within a month, William was back on active service. For 21 months William was activated, serving at Ft. Sam Houston in Texas, Fort Bragg in North Carolina, and with the 82nd Airborne Division in Afghanistan. During his spare time in Afghanistan, William performed numerous magic shows for his fellow soldiers as well as the many Afghan children that were being taken care of at the Army Hospital. He even got to meet and perform for Robin Williams when he came over to visit the troops. After he returned home in June of 2003, William continued to serve with the National Guard, and became a full time college student, all while continuing to perform his magic shows on the side. After a year and a half of school, the National Guard offered William a position as a Blackhawk Helicopter Pilot. He packed his bags and moved to Southern Alabama for the Army's flight school. While in Alabama, Hurricane Katrina came in and destroyed much of the Gulf Coast. For reasons still unknown to him, William had brought his show down to Alabama with no intention of performing. After Katrina, and wanting to help out, William teamed up with a good friend, Mark Huber, who is a chef and owner the elaborate "Rawls Restaurant" in Enterprise, Alabama. The two of them put on a series of dinner theaters with the proceeds going to benefit hurricane relief charities.



After graduating from flight school, William returned home to Oregon where he resumed college full time. Nowadays William flies for the National Guard and volunteers as a firefighter and paramedic. He is also performing more than ever, booking everything from birthday parties, school assemblies, and large stage theaters.
