La France A Un Incroyable Talent- Semifinals Preview

La France A Un Incroyable Talent, the French equivalent of Britain's got Talent and America's Got Talent,  has returned to French screens for its Seventh Series. The Live shows are about to start, and four magic acts are among the thirty who have been selected to compete for the 100,000 euro prize. They are...

1. Theo Dari

Theo Dari is not a traditional illusionist. Instead of cards and boxes, his act is exclusively focused on laser manipulation. It is daring and unique, and Theo looks to be a major favourite at this point. But how can he take the act to the next level?

    2. The Angels

An all-female Magic and Dance act, previously seen of the Dutch version of the show, The Angels are not the first all-female magic act seen on Incroyable Talent (the previous female magicians to make the live shows were Series 5's Julia Webb and Series 6's Amelie And Sylvie, neither of whom lived up to the promise of their auditions), but they still stand out as unique, coming across as a group of assistants taking control of their own act. The tricks they performed at the audition were strong and the delivery excellent. Dads and young women are likely of voting for this act, which could help them do well in the competition, but they need to really deliver in the live shows to earn this support.

   3. Dressing Flash

Dressing Flash are a quick-change duo similar to David And Dania from Americas Got Talent, and Soul Mystique from Australia's Got Talent. Their act is well presented, but Quick Change is not as new to Incroyable Talent as it was to the Aforementioned shows (Amelie and Sylvie specialised in Quick-Change too), and, anyway, Dressing Flash don't appear to be particularly original or exciting. Will they be able to up their game and stand out against bigger and flashier acts?

   4. Alpha

Alpha impressed in his audition with a small-scale but impressive trick involving floating fireballs. Though the beginning of the trick was slow and not very convincing, it improved as it went along, with an excellent finish. The presentation was strong, but Alpha is neither as grand nor as contemporary as his immediate rivals. His live performance needs to be flawless if he wants to compete for the title.
