🎯 A Dangerous Comeback: Anna Saranina Returns to America’s Got Talent
Anna Saranina AGT 2025 — five words that lit up search bars the moment her name flashed across NBC’s screen on July 8. For those who remember her as part of the world-famous danger duo Deadly Games, this solo return was far more than a surprise—it was a complete reinvention.
Back then, she was the target. Now, she’s the shooter.
Returning as Anna Dangerous, Saranina took on one of the riskiest live acts in America’s Got Talent history: a precision crossbow routine, executed solo, with zero margin for error.
This blog covers everything: who Anna Saranina is, what happened in her jaw-dropping solo debut, how the judges reacted, her new era as a solo performer, fan reactions, and how this stacks up among AGT’s best danger acts.

🔍 Who Is Anna Saranina?
Anna Saranina, born March 21, 1984 in Perm, Russia, built her legacy as one-half of Deadly Games—a knife-throwing duo that made it to the semifinals of AGT Season 11 and later appeared on AGT: The Champions, where they received Heidi Klum’s Golden Buzzer.
Their routines combined suspense, danger, and intimacy. But since her split from partner Alfredo Silva, Anna has taken her act in a radically independent direction.
Now living in Las Vegas, she performs solo under the name Anna Dangerous, focusing on crossbow precision acts—a skill she’s developed and honed post-Duo.

🎯 A Precision Crossbow Act That Could’ve Gone Terribly Wrong
During Week 6 of AGT 2025 auditions, Anna appeared with a sleek black costume, dark dramatic lights, and a high-powered repeating crossbow. Unlike the old Deadly Games format, this time she was the one launching bolts—with incredible speed and nerve.
The performance included:
- Blindfolded shooting
- Spinning targets
- Explosive ending shot (literally bursting a balloon inches from her face)
And through it all, she never flinched.
