Quick Change Artist Léa Kyle Has a Romantic Connection to a Past 'AGT' Star
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
The winner of Heidi Klum's golden buzzer is quick change artist Léa Kyle.
The 25-year-old French magician from Bordeaux was introduced to the AGT audience in late June and quickly left a lasting impression on Heidi and fellow judges Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel and Sofía Vergara. In mystical fashion, Léa was able to swap her outfits in a matter of seconds while strutting around the stage and showcasing her handmade costumes.
Overall, the act was an absolute hit. "We've seen quick change artists on this show, but I've never seen one better than you," Howie told Léa at the conclusion of her performance. "To see the outfit fly from the hanger to you, its magic and your presentation is beautiful."
Heidi ultimately gave Léa the best reward of all: an automatic pass into the live shows later this summer. "I loved it too, you were doing real magic. It was absolutely incredible and flawless," the Making the Cut star gushed.
So, who is America's Got Talent star Léa Kyle?
Now that Léa has solidified her place in the live-show round of the competition, it's important for viewers to know more about her backstory ahead of her next appearance on the NBC talent show.
According to her website and what she revealed on the show, Léa started off as a beautician, which she explains wasn't her "dream job" but a way for her to "make a living." Thankfully, she discovered her gift of magic about eight years ago thanks to her partner, Florian Sainvet. The name should sound familiar to you if you're a dedicated viewer of America's Got Talent. Florian, as some folks may remember, appeared in season 15 of AGT just last summer. Unlike Léa, however, he was eliminated in the judge cuts round.
What's more, Léa's website reveals that before trying out for AGT this year, she had already received recognition and accolades for her talent and hard work. In 2018, she entered her first magic contest, the Villebarou International Festival, and ended up coming out on top. One year later, she was chosen to perform in the French Magic Championships and won the title of French Champion. She also was able to fool Penn and Teller on Penn and Teller: Fool Us and competed on France's Got Talent last year.
Needless to say, Léa's career is really taking off lately and she's likely going to find even more success now that she's on America's Got Talent. After watching herself win the golden buzzer on AGT, the magician took to Instagram to thank both Heidi and Florian for their support and reflect on the life-changing moment.
"It was incredible 🤩 I would never imagine doing America's got talent one day and having the golden buzzer," she wrote. "It's just crazy !!! ✨"
