It’s intriguing to ponder if even The Clairvoyants could have foreseen their recent rise to fame. The mind-bending entertainers won the hearts of the nation overnight thanks to a stunning America’s Got Talent audition in 2016. Now after earning an impressive list of awards and accolades, the magical mentalists are touring the States with The Clairvoyants Christmas, a holiday-themed collection of illusions coming to Las Vegas on Nov. 29.
The Clairvoyants Christmas is a brand-new production from Thommy Ten and Amelie van Tass. Born and raised in Austria, the pair met in 2011 and immediately began the creation process. By the following year, they were touring Europe with a full-fledged production.
What sets The Clairvoyants apart from similar acts is that they appear to share an amazing mental bond. While blindfolded, van Tass can identify any object that Ten touches or looks at, then describe it with incredible detail. By combining mind-reading tricks with theatrical illusions and boundless charm, The Clairvoyants are now considered to be tops in their field.
In 2014, the couple inked a contract to perform Stateside. Soon they’d be in millions of American homes through America’s Got Talent. Judge Howie Mandel called their act “The most amazing thing that I’ve ever seen in the history of this show.” Competing against Vegas entertainers Tape Face and Deadly Games (of Celestia) in season 11, the duo placed second and were invited back this year for AGT: The Champions.
The warmth that van Tass and Ten generate onstage is one that they’d like to share during the upcoming season, saying recently “We cannot wait to celebrate the most magical time of the year with our audience. We will spend an unforgettable evening together. Get ready to experience the miracle of Christmas in your hearts and minds.”
