Messoudi Brothers was an acrobat trio from Season 14 of America's Got Talent. They were eliminated in the Semifinals. They returned as a juggling duo in Season 20 where they finished in the Top 5 of their Quarterfinal week.
Background[]
The Messoudi Brothers both started their career at the age of two. Taught by their father, they worked alongside him in over 35 countries, headlining the biggest shows around the world and winning several awards and medals along the way. After 23 years of sacrifice, hard work and success as a family, their father was forced to retire due to the difficulty of performing such skills at his age. Now without the heart and support of their father, the Messoudi Brothers have to turn to one another and trust each other more than ever as they work alone for the first time in what will be their biggest challenge yet, their 36th country and ultimate dream: America!
