A married couple from Salt Lake City — performing as Duo Transcend — will display their athletic abilities for the judges on Tuesday’s episode of “America’s Got Talent.”

Mary Ellen Wolfe and Tyce Nielsen, who are the parents of a 2-year-old, perform a trapeze act that clearly catches the attention of judges Simon Cowell, Heid Klum, Howie Mandel and Mel B. And Nielsen tells them he has “really bad eyesight,” making the hazardous routine even more dangerous.

In the pre-recorded episode, which airs Tuesday at 7 p.m. on NBC/Channel 5, viewers will learn if the couple impressed the judges enough to advance in the talent competition.
