Really good explanation. I came searching for how quick change works after Lea Kyle's golden buzzer on AGT.

I’m here because of Lea Kyle get’s golden buzzer on agt!

[pierrebremond]

Well, all of these magnets, velcro and whatnot doesn't explain at all how Léa does it

I haven't had the opportunity to wear any costumes that were "quick change" designed, but I have had many a quick change doing stage shows. The most dressers I had designated to one quick change moment was 3. It was a very involved costume change. I really liked learning about the different ways to make the costumes more quick change ready. In particular, the magnets.

I’d be terrified to go on hundreds of people with an outfit held together with only magnets

Thanks. That seems like a partial explanation, but you also see super quick changes right in front of your eyes with very little prop to hide behind, like just a balloon, not behind a curtain, and the mysterious part is that you don't see a trace of the previous costume. I could compare it to a balloon popping, as fast as that. But I imagine not everything can be revealed.

I came here because of jimin's filter outfit. 😅💜

[Raysenja]

Can you explain how Lea Kyle did at American Got Talent? She performed a great est quick change ever

[Galamoth]

Expectation: How quick change magic works

Reality: How to put clothes on

[Aayush-xrng]

Some army are confused how jimin changed the chothes
He actually didn't change there is just twins of jimin

[Rubianne]

I came after jimin's performance of filter

[yougotnojams]

I came here Jimin's filter so the mystery explained

[astroboy]

I don't think that this is the kind of quick-change outfit that Lea Kyle from AGT is using. This quick change is a slow poke. Lea Kyle is really magic.

[zoessi]

If they don't know about bts, or know but doesn't follow them, I bet they were confused about who is this Jimin? And why I suddenly get so many notifications after 3 months?

[jojowolfe]

This is so cool! I always wondered how it was done so quickly.

[mattmcrae]

Sweet video.. you just helped me redesign a quick change opener in my magic act.. WHY didn't I find you sooner.. lol.. so cool.. thank YOU 😁

[ivlark]

I was really waiting for her to do a quick change the whole video

[sondersighs]

Genuinely curious, what methods do you use, or how would you make a costume that changes with movement?
What I mean is for example, how does Cinderella or the the witch from into the woods can change thier costumes so naturally with little movement? Spinning around and either flipping to the underside layer, or underpinning a layer over

[kbaakash]

Anyone after lea Kylie's performance?

[jackwatsonepic]

Me too , I was just watching it on YouTube lol 🤣😭
