Portuguese shines on America’s Got Talent
If you have not seen or heard of Solange, then she is a quick change artist, and has won the hearts of millions across the world.
Portugal has a new world star. This is Solange Kardinaly, the talented Portuguese illusionist who reached the final of America’s Got Talent , an unprecedented feat for any Portuguese artist.
Her performances have amazed millions of viewers around the world, asking themselves “How does she do it?”

This, like all great stories, begins with a story: Once upon a time, there was a girl named Solange, the daughter of a line of magicians. Solange began her journey into the world of magic at a very young age, being the third generation of artists in her family. “I remember being involved in the world of magic ever since I was little,” shares Solange Kardinaly herself. Her passion and unwavering dedication culminated in the success that today places her among the best in the world.
Her path to success has been one of years of hard work and constant innovation. She confesses: “The number I performed at the audition was over three years in the making. Many artists know how difficult it is to create something truly new, but I was determined.” This dedication resulted in a stunning performance, which has been viewed over 522 million times.
This feat on America’s Got Talent solidified her worldwide fame, but Solange’s career already had several important milestones. In 2023, for example, Solange broke a world record by performing 25 costume changes in just one minute, on a show broadcast in Italy. In addition, she had already dazzled audiences on the famous Penn & Teller: Fool Us , where she was praised by Penn Jillette, who said: “You don’t have to fool us, because you’re going to travel the world doing this act and enchant the audience forever.”
