The Clairvoyants RETURN + TALK New Vegas Show & ‘AGT’ Legacy | Episode #366

It is a pleasure to welcome back my friends, Thommy and Amelie, also known as The Clairvoyants, to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.
The Clairvoyants (Thommy Ten and Amelie van Tass) became household names when they appeared on America’s Got Talent (AGT)’s eleventh season in 2016. Their craft stunned the audiences and judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, and Mel B. After placing second, the duo performed on Broadway, across the world, and in Las Vegas, where they performed at the LUXOR as a part of the America’s Got Talent Las Vegas Live show.
After performing over 500 shows at the LUXOR, The Clairvoyants are returning to Las Vegas with an all-new residency at the iconic Venetian Resort in 2025. Joining them on stage is Shin Lim, a two-time AGT winner and a global card magic sensation. Beginning May 22, 2025, the show will run five to ten nights a week at the stunning Palazzo Theatre. It blends mind-blowing mentalism with award-winning sleight-of-hand artistry in a production full of mystery, wonder, and world-class magic.
On this episode of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, The Clairvoyants spoke about their Las Vegas return and how AGT impacted Las Vegas and the magic world.
