The Clairvoyants can read your mind: ‘America's Got Talent' duo brings mental magic to the global stage
As he sat beside me in a cafe booth, mentalist Thommy Ten asked me to take out some items from my bag at random.
Rummaging through pens and chargers, I wanted to find something that Amélie van Tass, his stage partner and wife, might struggle to predict as she faced away from us. I handed Ten my passport, my wallet and a bag of almonds.
Talking toward the wall, Van Tass said, 'It's an ID … is that a passport?' She was right. 'And it expires April 2033?' I didn't even know that — I checked and apparently, it does.
Van Tass quickly guessed the bag of nuts. It was when she started accurately rattling off my license and Visa card numbers that the phrase 'sixth sense' came to my mind.
The Clairvoyants perform mentalism, the branch of magic that encapsulates all things mind-reading, precognition and extrasensory perception. The duo's performances are theatrical and often break the fourth wall. They choose audience members at random and can accurately guess their birthdays, their hotel room numbers and the exact dollar amount they won after a night in Vegas. Many shows incorporate their dog, crowd favorite Mr. Koni Hundini. Of the trio, he messes up the most, but the people 'still love him,' said Ten.
Ten and Van Tass are best known for coming in second place on Season 11 of NBC's 'America's Got Talent' in 2016. They also appeared on two 'AGT' spinoffs. Since then, they've headlined tours and Vegas residencies, drawing international recognition in the magic world.
The couple took a brief break from performing in late 2024 to expand their family. 'It was always clear, we don't want to give up our job,' Van Tass said. 'They're just part of the whole circus. We love to call it a circus because now we have two dogs and one baby.'
Ten and Van Tass' 8-month-old baby boy joins the Clairvoyants in their travels, but not on the stage. 'We try to be as normal as possible when we're at home. We're just Mom and Dad and not the Clairvoyants,' Van Tass said. Ten added, 'Of course, we try to keep it comfortable for him, for the dogs and for us. We don't go crazy with seven shows in seven states a week. We limit it to weekends now.'
It's only fitting that the 'circus' headed to Vegas for the Clairvoyants' U.S. comeback. The duo recently joined 'AGT' champion magician Shin Lim in his Las Vegas residency with an act that merged their mental magic with Lim's sleight of hand. The Clairvoyants will hit the road once again in late October for a winter tour, which includes a Dec. 20 show in San Jacinto.
Beyond their innovative psychic acts, the Clairvoyants have always challenged stereotypes about magic shows. 'There's always this picture of a magician and the assistant bringing tables in and out,' Ten said. 'That's the basic understanding of a magician. Our thing was always that we wanted to be equal on stage.'
Ten and Van Tass, both 38, bring different talents to the act. 'You do more of the magic, magic stuff,' Van Tass said to Ten. 'And I'm more the mind reading and feeling and sensing things, which I think is a female thing too.'
The couple first crossed paths on a set in 2011 — they started brainstorming a two-person magic act the next day. Less than a year later, the duo performed their first show, 'Second Sight.' It was the first step in carving out their niche, the modern, theatrical mentalism that has since become their signature act.
The Clairvoyants soon began touring Europe, expanding their routine into a full-length show within the year. In 2014, they brought the tour to America, where they joined 'The Illusionists,' the world's largest traveling magic show. Two years later, they went even bigger: 'America's Got Talent.'
Over four months on 'AGT,' the Clairvoyants performed eight times and beat out more than 100,000 other contestants. The duo came in second, behind singer Grace VanderWaal. Every episode of their season of 'AGT' ranked No. 1 in its NBC time slot. 'Suddenly, our season was watched by 16, 17 million viewers,' said Ten. With so many people tuning in and voting from home, the Clairvoyants became a household name.
They also returned in 2019 for the spinoff 'America's Got Talent: The Champions' and in 2024 for 'America's Got Talent: Fantasy League.' They were eliminated in the preliminary round on both shows.
'In our genre, mentalism, mind-reading, it's normally very small. Like in a parlor setting or a face-to-face thing,' said Ten. 'Our dream was always to make it big so we can perform in front of thousands of people. It should still feel like everybody's part of it; everyone can be involved.'
While their 'AGT' appearance opened doors to Broadway and tours worldwide, they aspired for more. From 2021 to 2022, the Clairvoyants performed 500 shows in one year. After the birth of their son, they performed five to 10 shows a week in Vegas. Their upcoming U.S. tour will take them cross-country over the holidays.
The fanbase they built from 'AGT' added a layer of both excitement and pressure, but it isn't necessarily what keeps the Clairvoyants moving at such an impressive pace.
'We have performed in front of 20 people and were as excited as we would have been in front of 20,000 people,' Van Tass said. 'I'm most excited when I know that there are good friends and family in the audience.'
The Clairvoyants didn't just want a bigger audience, they needed one. Their spectacular stage performances couldn't have possibly worked in the parlor rooms of the past. Performance highlights include Van Tass showcasing her mental magic while submerged in 2,000 liters of water, using a flamethrower and even being suspended in the air, à la Cirque du Soleil.
The Clairvoyants strive to make their show special to each audience member, every night. 'They make it possible that we can do what we do. Every single person deserves the best version and 100%,' said Van Tass. Fans' experiences are the key to keeping the magic alive — and keeping it confidential. Of course, the Clairvoyants can't reveal their secrets, but that doesn't stop viewers from speculating. One theory suggests that audience members are paid participants. But when a blindfolded Van Tass predicts what you have in hand, and you know you aren't in on it, that theory falls apart.
Originally from Austria, the couple spends half the year performing in Europe and the other half in the U.S. — in Vegas or on tour. With German as their first language, English as their second and the 'tiny bit of Spanish' Van Tass speaks, the Clairvoyants are prepared to acclimate. 'It's important that at least we have a couple of words in different languages to adapt to people and to new countries,' Van Tass said.
Performing worldwide has earned the duo awards from across Europe and the U.S. In 2015 they were dubbed the World Champions of Mentalism by the FISM, one of the most respected international magic organizations. In 2017, the Academy of Magical Arts and the Magic Castle Hollywood voted Ten and Van Tass Stage Magicians of the Year. In 2020 they received the Mandrakes d'Or — France's 'Oscar of magic.'
From their pre-'AGT' tours to their Las Vegas residency, the Clairvoyants have a long streak of reading minds and blowing minds too. And the pair shows no signs of slowing down. Their ambitious winter tour aims to spread holiday magic from coast to coast.
'We just want to take people and bring them into our magical world,' said Van Tass. 'Just let them forget everything and feel like kids again.'

'Bachelor' star Peter Weber blindsided on 'Destination X' (and loved it)
Peter Weber has spent plenty of time at 30,000 feet, but "Destination X" challenged the former Bachelor star in a new way: Taking away his ability to navigate. On NBC's travel-based reality series, contestants boarded a blacked-out bus and used their intuition, logic, and social savvy to figure out where in Europe they'd landed without ever seeing the journey there. It's part travelogue, part mind game, and for Weber, part full-circle adventure. As a licensed commercial pilot and reality TV veteran, Weber brought a unique mix of wanderlust and game strategy to the series that got all the way to the final two, but ultimately was beaten by fellow contestant Rick Szabo. Weber opened up to USA TODAY about the challenges of navigating blind, the misdirection he used to stay ahead in the game, and why making strategic choices over emotional ones. And, yes, he has opinions on aisle vs. window. This interview was edited for length and clarity. Question: What made you join 'Destination X' and how did it compare to your experience with 'The Bachelor' and 'The Traitors'? Peter Weber: This opportunity, like the last three, they just kind of you know fell into my lap. I couldn't say no even though I wasn't necessarily looking for anything. Specifically with "Destination X," when I was told the whole kind of premise, it was an immediate yes. My background of flying and love of travel and adventure and then just, you know, being the ultimate competitor, I think this just kind of grouped everything into one. But I would say, that without a doubt, this is the most fun thing I have been able to do. It's such a unique experience to be able to do in today's day and age; just disconnect from the outside world and no phone, no social media, nothing — just immerse yourself into a game like you're playing like a kid, and having that game be all across Europe just makes it that much better. How did your background as a pilot help or hurt you when you were guessing locations? There definitely were a lot of pros to helping me, you know. In this most recent episode it came into play a lot. I recognized the peaks that we were at — in Monaco, up high just from flying in and out of Venice Airport quite a bit. So, some familiarity there with certain departure corridors that I'd flown before helped me. And just naturally being maybe good at navigation and following the sun as much as possible. That's really the only clue you had on this bus was, you know? It's all fogged out. Unless Jeffrey (Dean Morgan) wanted you to see out. So, you could follow the sun and track a little bit and get an estimate of what direction you were going for and a rough speed of how far you could have traveled to help me in that way. In regards to hurting me, maybe just coming in, I think it could have put a target on my back a little bit, with people thinking, "Yeah, you're a pilot, you probably have some extensive travel experience." You know, maybe that's a threat kind of thing. So it was really important for me right off the bat to kind of figure out, OK, who am I going to trust in this game? Who am I going to work with now? How did it feel to be blindfolded and have no control over where you were going, you know? Definitely eerie. It's kind of cool how they edit it in the show to, "boom." It goes from one scene to the next. But obviously to get to those spots where that Google reveal happens takes a lot of coordination and, you know, us following producers with our hands on their backs. And you can't literally see. You're blindfolded. You can't see anything and it's, you know, done just for the fairness of the game. It has to be done that way, but definitely a very odd feeling to have no control, no say where you're at, no idea where you're at, but also, it's kind of what made it so much fun is really kind of pushing yourself to figure it out. What do you think was the moment that pushed you most out of your comfort zone during the the entirety of the game? I've always been an emotional person, and that's just naturally who I am. And I think there was a period where I really had to push myself to get out (someone) I had been beefing about some stuff with, and there was some stuff going on there. And there was a decision I had to make where it was: Do I do the feel-good option of when you're beefing with someone and you have now the power to kind of get rid of them? Or do I do the smart play and completely let go of the emotion of that? So, I would say that probably pushed me the most to be able to make the right call under pressure. I remember when we were able to get Mack (Fitzgerald) out, cause Mack would have, I think, won the game if we hadn't gotten her out in that point, I think she wins the whole thing. And so, I had to make that call, strategy-wise, even though emotionally I wanted to go somewhere else. Europe is known for its robust train system. You are of course a pilot. And you were on a bus. What is your preferred method of travel? Oh, for sure flying. Obviously. You know, we'll always take airplanes over anything. But I think one of the coolest moments was that that last episode of Monaco that that yacht we were able to go on and go get anchored right outside the Monte Carlo. That was a very surreal experience. You know, "cheersing" with some Champagne with Jeffrey and Rick (Szabo) and Biggy (Bailey) there and realizing, wow, we made it this far and now we're going to the finale. And I just never experienced that kind of a yacht experience. It was pretty surreal. Speaking of planes, aisle or window seat? Window, for a couple of reasons. Obviously, for the view, you know? And it's sad. I feel like in today's day and age, so many people close the window shade or dim it, or just not have their face glued outside and being on their phones. I mean, it's the most incredible view in the entire world you're ever going to get. I'm always a window fan, also, for the aspect of sleeping. I like being able to lean and have some support. You don't quite get that with the middle or aisle seat. Is there a travel habit that you picked up as a pilot that you still use as a passenger? I think just efficient packing. It's sometimes easy to overpack, and you're going to have all these outfits you're going to wear, but I think just kind of nailing it down to the base set of clothes, shoes, etc. Is there something that you like to splurge on while you're on vacation? Dessert. I'm a huge, huge dessert person. I have a huge sweet tooth, though. Anytime I'm on vacation, I'm always looking forward to that dessert menu. Ideally, a chocolate molten lava cake with some ice cream on top is my go-to. What's your travel pet peeve? Pet peeve, I would say, is when people stand up right when the airplane gets to the gate. I think it creates such a sense of anxiety and panic, and everyone is just trying to get ahead of each other and no one's going anywhere cause you know, they gotta open the door first and obviously very skinny aisles for everyone to feed through. Is there something that you would like to remind future you from the show? The biggest thing that I want to take away from this show is having an opportunity to fully disconnect and appreciate the moment, and appreciate where you're at. I think it's such a beautiful thing to do in life and it's so easy to not do that. With all distractions of everyday life in the era that we live in, and with social media and phones, there's always a million things to do. But this show kind of forces you, because obviously you have no choice, into that mindset to really be present and soak it all in. I think that's something that I would love to really take forward. And if I need a reminder later on in life, being able to look back on an experience like "Destination X" or "The Traitors" and remember vividly what that was like to feel fully present and just enjoy the moment and not be distracted. That's probably the biggest thing I'd love to take forward and apply to my life. This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Why Peter Weber says 'Destination X' was his most fun adventure yet

Jeffrey Dean Morgan Breaks Down That 'Destination X' Finale Betrayal (Exclusive)
Jeffrey Dean Morgan Breaks Down That 'Destination X' Finale Betrayal (Exclusive) originally appeared on Parade. SPOILER ALERT! The following interview contains spoilers from the finale of on NBC. Please do not scroll down further if you do not wish to know the events of the final episode, including the winner. When it comes to the cast of Destination X, trying to locate themselves habitually through the various landscapes of Europe often felt like two steps forward, one step back. And for Biggy Bailey, it was a series of two steps forward and many steps back that ended his journey for the $250,000 prize. The final episode of the NBC reality series had the final three competitors – Biggy, Peter Weber and Rick Szabo – get tested on all the destinations they visited over the course of the season. Get a question right, and you could choose to step forward, or send someone backward, putting them further away from surviving the round. And it was in this game that the secret alliance between Rick and Peter finally came to the surface. Having been forged since the Bachelor and Traitors star entered the bus as a late entry, the two men had been working under the radar for the entirety of the game. It was a realization, unfortunately, that came too late for Biggy. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 "I honestly felt so bad for Biggy," host Jeffrey Dean Morgan tells Parade in an exclusive interview. "I mean, you could see it all happen at once. It all dawned on him in real time, as we were watching him. As he was having to take that step backwards and another step backwards, you could see his face, and he was crushed. Biggy is a bit of a force of nature, and a very honest guy who I think played a really straight up game and was kind of friends with everybody. And to have that happen, he didn't see it coming at all. It was hard to watch. That being said, it made for a great moment of television." After Biggy's blindside, Peter and Rick underwent their final test, a riddle-filled scavenger hunt to the biggest landmarks of London. After keeping apace the entire day, the two men diverged at the very last clue. And it was ultimately Rick who made the correct call, as his seasonlong attention to detail and European knowledge had earned the professional bird watcher a nice little nest egg. Jeffrey Dean Morgan talks with Parade about hiw reactions to the finale, as well as what he would want to keep the same and change should Destination X get renewed for Season 2. Related: The climax of the finale came during the final elimination, when Biggy slowly realized, Keyser Sozé style, that Rick had been working with Peter the entire time. What was your reaction to that in the moment?I honestly felt so bad for Biggy. I mean, you could see it all happen at once. It all dawned on him in real time, as we were watching him. As he was having to take that step backwards and another step backwards, you could see his face, and he was crushed. You could feel it. And I mean, honestly, I felt bad. There were a couple of moments in the show when I felt bad. One was Mack's elimination, and then another was Biggy's, where you felt it. And Biggy is a bit of a force of nature, and a very honest guy who I think played a really straight up game and was kind of friends with everybody. And to have that happen, he didn't see it coming at all. It was hard to watch. It was hard to watch that realization. That being said, it made for a great moment of television. [Laughs.] The final task had Peter and Rick racing through London, solving clues to get to the final destination containing the winnings. Each guy selected a different place. But if they both chose Big Ben, who would have won? Would it just be whoever got there first?Here's the thing, because we only have an hour that we can show the game, there were two or three ties before we even got to Big Ben. They kept tying. So I remember it came down to them being in these taxi cabs and us filming. And it was like, "They tied again. They tied again." And so thank God we were running out of things to ask them at that certain point. But at the end, when Rick got to Big Ben, it was a legit win. He was the only one that was close. If they had both picked Big Ben, they had picked the same place three times before we even got to Big Ben. And I don't know what we would have done. I think if they got there at the same time, thank God they didn't. I don't know what we would have done. Split the money, pony up another 100 and kick 250 grand out of my pocket, probably! brought in three reality TV alums to play against newbies. What did you think about how that played out, and would that be something you're interested in doing for Season 2?I think it makes for good TV if the audience knows some people. I know they were really excited to see JaNa and Peter when they came on. I don't watch Love Island or The Bachelor; I've never seen these shows. My first conversation with JaNa, she announced to me that she was America's sweetheart, and I had no idea what she was talking about. I knew going in that we were going to have some reality show ringers join the bus halfway through, and I was told that the winner of Big Brother would be on to start the show. I never in a million years would have thought Josh would have been eliminated first. He was pretty smart, and I thought he kind of had a handle on where we were, especially being that he had been in Rome four weeks earlier with his family. But I think that set a tone immediately that maybe this wasn't going to be an easy deal for anybody, much less a reality show TV veteran. And then as far as JaNa and Peter, the people that have done these shows before know how it works. They know not only about the competition, but they know how to go and sit in front of a camera and work it to their advantage. They're very savvy, they're very smart, and it's just different. But you see how that changed with even the newbies, and how smart and how fast they become as the game goes on. I give big props to the casting department. Now, going forward, say we do a Season 2. I kind of like the mix of having some newbies as well as some veterans. And maybe also it would behoove us to do kind of what Traitors does, and have an "all-star" sort of thing of reality show vets come on and do the show. But I like the newbies. I like the guys [who] have never done this before. And you know, someone like Rick, who gets to walk away with the big prize, who we'd never seen before, a bird watcher from Canada, I think that's kind of cool. I wonder what the audience would think if Peter had come on Episode 3 and then won it, if people think that that's fair. Generally, if were to be renewed, what would be some of the biggest things you would want to change for Season 2?Well, I think the great thing about this show is, as a crew – I mean, it's such a great crew. First of all, I need to give a ton of credit to the writers and directors and just the crew itself that have worked together for many years. A lot of the same people [who] do this show do Traitors. It was really kind of an all-star group of guys and gals that did this show. And so I think the key is to bring them all back. And I think that I was able to kind of find my legs and what I was doing. It took me a minute; this is my first kind of go around. And also we found a lot of the show in post; we had so much footage. Then it's about kind of finding a show that is going to be engaging to the viewers. I think we can even bring it up as far as how hard the challenges are and the questions and make it even smarter. I don't think anyone anticipated how smart all these players were. Not that anybody was dumb, but you wouldn't think that anybody hadn't left the United States would be so smart with where they were in Europe. I mean, you think you have a super hard challenge, and God, sometimes it was just ripped through them so fast. And it'd be like, "God damn it. Didn't anticipate that!" We just didn't anticipate the gameplay. And so I think it's going to be bringing it up a notch and make it a little bit harder. Because the audience that you find out is playing along too.
