Anatoliy from Zhovti Vody, Kamianske district - an 18-year-old performer in the genre of micromagic and illusions - passed the qualifying round of the new season of the show "Ukraine's Got Talent". All three judges voted "yes", and the young man moved on in the competition.
Anatoliy's fascination with tricks and various experiments began in childhood. In his own words, he always strived to build his own worlds and avoided any imposed frameworks. He filmed his first tricks on his phone with his mother - these home videos became the starting point.
An unexpected turn occurred when his mother accidentally appeared in the frame: TikTok viewers immediately fell in love with their duo, and the number of fans began to grow rapidly. Later, Anatoliy's videos were noticed by the BBC Ukraine editorial team.
On the stage of "Ukraine's Got Talent", the audience reacted with chants of "Well done" - even during the performance.
What the judges said
Olena Kravets admitted that she was stunned by what she saw and asked: "How do you do that?"
Stas Boklan shared that he had never observed the work of a professional illusionist so closely before, and addressed the participant: "You, Anatoliy, know how to do this! You definitely have talent!"
Anatoliy performs original tricks - no borrowed material. This, according to the judges, is what distinguished him from other participants in the selection.
