After winning accolades in ‘AGT: Extreme', father-daughter duo the Nerveless Nocks - consisting of Michelangelo and Angelina Nock - are returning with their high-energy, clutter-breaking acrobatics auditions act in the coming episode of NBC’s talent hunt reality show ‘America’s Got Talent’ Season 17.

'AGT' has definitely raised the bar this season. We have already seen a variety of astonishing acts, ranging from singing, ballet, aerial acrobatics, aerial dance, jazz, pole dance, magic acts, illusionary acts, novelty acts, animal handling, tap dance, and comedy. Amid such a diverse palette, it will be interesting to see if the Nerveless Nocks manage to impress judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel and Sofia Vergara with their genre-bending acrobatics circus act in the coming episode.

Who are the Nerveless Nocks?

The Nerveless Nocks are a group specializing in acrobatics circus. The family daredevil group dates all the way back to 1840, and does all types of circus acts. The group’s name was inspired by Queen Elizabeth, who called Michelangelo’s father “simply nerveless.”
 
With their huge legacy, The Nerveless Nocks are also known to put on extreme thrill shows, FMX and monster truck shows, Cirque Equinox “the magic circus” (combining the finest theatrical circus acts and the world’s greatest magic and illusion stage spectaculars), pirates of the sky, vortex of doom, extreme water ski and stunt spectaculars, and nerveless nocks circus productions.
 
Their most famous acrobatic acts include Sway Poles, Wheel of steel, Globe of death, and so on.
 
Michelangelo and Angelina Nock have previously performed at ‘AGT: Extreme,’ which aired a few months back. In that audition, they had presented a mind-boggling circus act by performing tricks on an 80-foot sway pole. Once atop the poles, they began swaying back and forth before performing upside-down tricks. Their most nerve-wracking trick featured them switching poles high above the ground. In the end, they death-dropped the entirety of the pole.
 
They earned three yeses and went into the next round of the competition. Unfortunately, due to the show’s format, fans were unable to see any other performances from The Nerveless Nocks on 'AGT: Extreme.'



 

The Nerveless Nocks have an Instagram account with 1.2K followers. The number is sure to increase after their upcoming performance.
