I missed it last night (two other events at the same time for the DVR to grab). NBC’s website isn’t helpful, and I’m at work so I can’t watch the episode.

Who were the four acts that were put through from the wild-card round?

Thanks!

Forget the names but I believe it was:  
Zombie dance group, weird guy who does performance installations (Popsicle sticks), the magician who went underwater and the jump ropers.

Plus I just copied them off [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=America%27s_Got_Talent_%28season_6%29). It REALLY wasn’t rocket surgery!
