With his online celebrity status, Collins has been able to rub shoulders with real celebs, too.
Note – some people speculated that Collins Key may be gay, but there is no evidence for that. The social media show, which ended live in LA with Collins finding the girl, won a Cannes Lion award, a Streamy, and a Shorty. In 2016, though, he set the Keyper Club (the name given to Collins and Devan Key fans) abuzz about a potential love interest.Ĭollins collaborated with major tel-co AT&T to produce The Disappearing Girl.Īlthough Collins was-and still is, at the time of print-single, the show followed a social media scavenger hunt to find Collins’ dream girl. It definitely doesn’t hurt that he creates content that appeals to brands, and he has built a safe, non-challenging brand that appeals to the young teen demographic, making his channel extremely easy to monetize.Ĭollins Key is currently single. With 23.8 million YouTube subscribers and 6.3 billion views across the platform, this high-energy kid is steadily growing a major social media following. Not everyone gets the formula right, but Collins Key aced it. Social Media seems simple-post video pranks, cheesy comedy, and DIY hacks, and people will watch. He also presented at the Teen Choice Awards that year-alongside Kylie Jenner and Taylor Swift. When she kicked off her Neon Lights tour in 2014, Collins spent just under an hour entertaining her avid fans with magic every night. Somewhere along the line, Key caught the eye of uber-famous songstress Demi Lovato. In 2013, he teamed up with other contestants to tour the US for six weeks. Jimmy Rose, the singer and guitar player who went on to find his own success in the entertainment industry, came in third place.ĭespite Collins only making it to fifth place, his positivity and high energy earned him a lot of fans and supporters. Kenichi Ebina won the season, becoming the first non-American to win, with stand-up comic Taylor Williamson coming in second to the mime dancer. He instantly became a fan favorite when the show aired, and became the first magician to make it into the top 5 finalists. When the producers of America’s Got Talent invited Collins to audition for season 8 of the show, it was a dream come true for the 16-year-old.

And rightly so, with several bars and a full-service dining room-as well as exclusive membership at a clubhouse that has been classed a historic-cultural monument. The club hosts magic shows and displays and harks back to a more formal era. The Magic Castle-Hollywood’s foremost Academy of Magical Arts and a clubhouse for budding magicians-has long been credited as the most “unusual private club in the world.” In 2009, Collins was accepted into the Magic Castle. In 2012 he joined the show for its 8th season, before returning to YouTube to build his ultra-successful channel into what it is today.
