The majority of the acts the judges have seen on America’s Got Talent involve singing or dancing. There are occasional comedians, magicians, and impersonators, but nothing compares to what Alan Silva brought to the table.

Alan is a kind father of two with an extraordinary talent for aerial silk acts. Silva’s brother was a former participant in the famous program and one of Simon Cowell’s all-time favorite auditions.

Alan, who came from a circus family, was now ready to shine. Aerial silk is a difficult technique to perfect. Supporting your body weight requires a tremendous deal of strength, choreography, and trust.

Moving on to “Alive” by Sia, the caring father performs unexpectedly fantastic maneuvers that leave the judges and audience on the edge of their seats. Alan can perform the splits, drop from enormous heights, and swing around the auditorium, so we’re confident he’s capable of anything.
