AGT Quick-Change Magician Léa Kyle Is Joining The Illusionists

Kyle recently took to Instagram to share the news that she’ll be joining The Illusionists. She included a poster in which she’s described as “the fashionista.” Her fellow magicians include her fiancé Florian Sainvet, as well as Gus, Xavier Mortimer, Kevin James, and Enzo Weyne.

As Kyle wrote in the post’s caption, she and her fellow magicians will be performing in Paris at Folies Bergère beginning next February. The dates on the poster she shared run from February 21 to March 3, 2024.

Kyle Received the Golden Buzzer in Season 16

Kyle reached the Semifinals of France’s Got Talent before auditioning for AGT in Season 16. Her incredible quick-change routine impressed the judges — especially Heidi Klum who chose to hit the Golden Buzzer and send Kyle straight to the live shows.

The magician continued to impress in the Quarterfinals and Semifinals, earning a spot in the Season 16 finale. Unfortunately, she didn’t earn enough votes to win the season, instead finishing the competition in fifth place.

Since her time on AGT, Kyle has appeared on other talent shows around the world, including Romania’s Got Talent and Spain’s Got Talent: All-Stars, as well as the Italian show Tu Si Que Vales. She also appeared in AGT‘s live show in Las Vegas.
