Deadly Games

Deadly Games, also known as Alfredo & Anna Silva, is a knife thrower duo act from Season 11 of America's Got Talent.

Background
Alfredo & Anna Silva are from Las Vegas, Nevada. The two met eight years before their audition, and they were married for a little more than two years before their audition. Alfredo is a sixth-generation performer. He studied magic, juggling, even the Globe of Death - but in the end fell in love with the most dangerous - knife-throwing. Anna, originally from Russia, is a professional ballerina and spent many years as a choreographer. In 2009, she agreed to combine her love of dance to Alfredo's most dangerous passions, and voilà, Deadly Games was born. 

Audition
Alfredo & Anna Silva's audition in Episode 1104 consisted of Alfredo throwing knives in the direction of Anna to stick in a wall behind her as she first stood, then leaned backward, then moved side to side with her back towards Alfredo as he continued throwing knives. The performance concluded with Alfredo throwing flaming knives around Anna as she stood still. Howie Mandel, Mel B, Heidi Klum, and Simon Cowell all voted "Yes", sending the duo to the Judge Cuts.

Judge Cuts
Deadly Games' Judge Cuts performance in Episode 1108 consisted of Alfredo throwing knives to pop two balloons held by Anna's hands, and one held from her mouth. Next, Alfredo threw a set of knives around Anna as a wheel spun with her attached to it. Heidi Klum gave the duo a standing ovation. Deadly Games' performance was strong enough for the judges to send them to the Quarterfinals instead of Gary Sladek.

Quarterfinals
Deadly Games' Week 1 Quarterfinals performance in Episode 1111 consisted of Alfredo throwing a set of weapons on the board behind Anna while he was blindfolded. Next, Anna spun on a flaming spinning wheel while Alfredo threw a set of flaming weapons on the wheel as it spun. Heidi Klum gave the duo a standing ovation. Deadly Games finished in sixth, seventh, or eighth place in America's Vote. In the Dunkin' Save, the duo received fewer online votes than Lori Mae Hernandez. In the Judges' Choice, although Howie Mandel and Mel B did not vote for the duo, Heidi Klum and Simon Cowell did, forcing a tiebreaker; whichever act had received more votes from America would progress. Deadly Games received more votes than Hara, sending the duo to the Semifinals in Episode 1112.
