AGT contestants Duo Mico showcase a unique aerial act that leaves viewers stunned

As soon as Caroline and Max stepped onto the stage, they received applause, which immediately had the judges interested.

Taking their debut on stage as an opportunity, Caroline reminded the judges of her previous stint on America's Got Talent (AGT) stage. The contestant revealed that she was on Season 12 of the competition as her husband Jonathan Rinny's assistant for his rola-rola balancing act. The husband-wife duo was later eliminated during the judges cuts round.

Upon asking why she decided to participate in AGT again, Caroline revealed that she wanted to prove that she was more than an assistant and that she could perform her act with Max without having her husband in the spotlight like last time. They also revealed that if they were to win $1 million, they would like to open their show and spread their art to the world.

When Simon Cowell asked what made their act different from the numerous aerial acts that they had seen over the years, Caroline said:

“We’ve spent an entire year creating all of our own original sequences. And also the way that we will perform this act, I think you will find it different than ones you’ve seen before.”

They began their act with the sound of Will You Fight by Klergy & Beginners playing in the background and performed flips, turns, and many more stunts, which impressed the judges. By the end of their act, Caroline death-dropped into Max's arms from a considerable height, which left the audience stunned.

The AGT duo also performed on the 10th anniversary of the Gold Elephant Girona International Circus Festival in February 2022. They also participated in Young Stage Basel, the biggest circus festival in Switzerland this year. Additionally, the duo participated in China's Got Talent last year and received singer-songwriter GEM's golden buzzer.

Duo Mico has over 3K followers on Instagram and constantly updates their followers with practice sessions, gigs, and activities. They also have their individual accounts, with Caroline having over 9K followers and Max with more than 3K followers.
