The Togni Brothers are a stunt duo who reached the Semi-Finals of Series 10 of Britain's Got Talent. They hailed from Birmingham however were living in Italy at the time of their audition. The duo consisted of brothers Michael & Dario Togni. Michael was aged 21 at the time of the duos audition, whereas Dario was aged 18 at the time of the duos audition.
In their audition, one member of the duo lay upon a bench, and spun the other member around continuously using his feet. Amanda described their performance as 'extraordinary', whilst Simon claimed that he had 'never seen anything like it before'.
The pair began their Semi-Finals performance with one member stood upon a platform, whilst another sat towards the bottom of the platform. The member who sat down then stood up, and the member on the platform jumped down onto the stage, one member then lay down upon the stage and balanced the other in mid air, before the other member then performed a flip in the air and back onto the other member, before performing another flip onto the stage. One member then jumped atop of the other, and they were then flipped around continuously once again, by using the other members feet. One member then jumped off of the other members feet, before jumping back on and sitting down upon the other members feet, before then being balanced by the other member. The duo then concluded their performance by sitting back down upon the stage. Alesha commented that the duos performance was 'so physically demanding', with David jokingly asking 'is it better to be on the top or bottom'.
