Season 16 of 'America's Got Talent' ended with magician Dustin Tavella taking home the $1 Million grand prize and an opportunity to be the headline act in Las Vegas! Inspired by Tavella's success, French magician Nicolas Ribs is ready to test the waters on 'America's Got Talent' Season 17.

But before Nicolas gets his hands on the grand prize, he will first have to impress the show's judges -- Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Sofia Vergara, and Heidi Klum. While we will have to wait and watch to see if Nicolas manages to bewitch the judges with his talent, in the meanwhile, you can learn all about Nicolas here.

Who is Nicolas Ribs?

French magician Nicolas Ribs is no stranger to the world of television shows. After wowing the judges and audience on the French version of 'Got Talent' show 'La France Incroyable Talent' in 2019, and on the popular French series 'TF1 Diversion' in the same year, Ribs is a celebrity of sorts across the Atlantic. The magician, who describes himself as "a magician, mentalist, and illusionist" on his website, began his journey into the world of magic at the age of sixteen.

Ribs wanted to be a footballer from a young age, but an injury cut short his footballer dreams. While recovering at the hospital, he was introduced to card games and magic. He was so intrigued by it, that he spent all his time learning more of these tricks and reading up about them. After spending years perfecting the art, he's made magic his full-time career. Although Ribs doesn't appear to be very active on social media, he does, however, share clips of his amazing tricks occasionally on the photo-sharing app. We can't wait to watch Nicolas Ribs' act on 'AGT'.

'America's Got Talent' Season 17 airs on Tuesdays at 8 pm on NBC. Following the show's premiere, you can catch all-new episodes every Tuesday from 8 to 10 pm. ET/PT. Viewers who wish to tune in to the show without cable can do so using streaming services like Sling TV, fuboTV, Hulu With Live TV, AT&T TV, or YouTube TV.
