This week on America’s Best Dance Crew, the final four did a group performance and then it was time for the crews to show off their magician skills in the illusion challenge!

The show started off with an amazing performance from all four crews combined. Lil Mama was in a part of the performance and had a crazy outfit change right on stage to fit with the illusion theme this week. Then Mario Lopez appeared out of nowhere from behind an ABDC poster as the four crews disappeared.

Hype 5-0 and Poreotix were announced as the top two crews moving on next week leaving Jungle Boogie and Blueprint Cru in the bottom two to battle it out for the third spot in next week’s episode.

Hype 5-0 had to make an object come to life in their performance. Lil Mama thought it was a good routine and saw a different side to their group. Omarion felt like their choreography never changes. JC Chasez could see them thinking on stage and didn’t see enough choreography.

Poreotix had to get an object to move with their minds. JC Chasez thought it was great and they accomplished the task well but also thought they could’ve done better dancing. Lil Mama said their illusion was sexy. Omarion said the difficulty wasn’t all there but still thought they came out with energy and used the illusion to the fullest.

Blueprint Cru and Jungle Boogie had to battle it out for the third and final spot moving on to next week which brought a lot of pressure on both crews.

Blueprint Cru was up first using levitation in their routine. Omarion commended them on their performance. JC Chasez thought their intro was slow but once the dance got going he said it was great. Lil Mama said they did a great job dancing and acting.

Jungle Boogie had to pass a body through a solid surface. Lucky for them they have twins on their crew to help make this happen. Omarion said they are great dancers and great performers but added that the opening was a little slow. JC Chasez thought they had a great execution on the illusion and said they tore up the stage. Lil Mama thought they brought the highest energy of the night.

Only one crew gets to join Hype 5-0 and Poreotix next week and the judges chose Blueprint Cru! Jungle Boogie had to pass their bodies out the door and say goodbye to America.
