Victoria Petrosyan may be the Russian woman of your dreams: She is able to change to a new outfit in seconds. Her show “Honey, are your ready?” with husband Sos Petrosyan scored multiple awards all over the world. The couple of magicians hold a Guinness World Record by the highest number of changes: 12 costumes in just 60 seconds. Watch the video of her performance on America’s Got Talent, which wowed both judges and the audience.
Who are Sos and Victoria Petrosyan?
38-year-old Victoria, born in Moscow, Russia, is married to her 45-year-old husband Sos for 20 years. The speed of getting ready must be really an advantage in a marriage!
Sos’ talent was noticed already at the age of 4 when documentary “The Small Star” was filmed about him at 1976. The young boy born in Armenia, USSR, was skilled in circus arts, music, dance, and pantomime. By the age of 6 he left the home city of Yerevan to study in Moscow’s Bolshoi Theatre School of Ballet, where he spent 11 years. He started to perform in circus arts during the last years of the Soviet Union and then went to perform in Paris and worldwide. The first quick change illusion by Sos was showcased in 1991. By 1996 he designed an act with 2 women and 16 costumes.
Victoria’s parents worked in Moscow circus, so she was close to the performing crowd since childhood. However, her parents wanted her to become a lawyer. But she decided otherwise.
In 2000 she and her husband created the first show of Russian Quick Change Illusion, which they keep improving ever since. The talented duo had been working on this project since 1996 when they got married.
Video: “Honey, are you ready?”
It takes 2 hours to prepare the costumes for the show and then further 40 minutes to dress. After the show it takes another hour to pack the dresses to be ready for the next performance. But when the show happens, it only takes seconds for amazing transformations. And, of course, when the show ends, the heroine is dressed in white as a Russian bride! It’s the perfect magic trick.

All we need now is a woman who cooks borschscht in five minutes, cleans the house in three and does makeup in one minute. I’m kidding of course, stereotypes are bad either way. Magicians or not, getting dressed quickly is a useful skill both for men and women.
To dress up and look stunning just in a couple of seconds is real, though usually for circus. When it comes to normal life it takes some time. Long ago too thorough preparations played a bad joke on me. As I was too concerned with the way I looked, I and my date didn’t have time enough to get to the place for the start of the movie. Thanks God he was a calm guy and we just roamed around entertaining each other with funny stories. Since then I plan better while putting my clothes on.
I think to have a wife like Victoria Petrosyan, who can be ready in 5 seconds, is a dream of every man! But anyway I believe it is a really helpful skill for every couple if a woman can be ready quickly and don’t spend hours dressing up.
Very useful skill. I want to be her so bad! There are lots of men who don’t like when it takes too long for their girl to get ready. Especially when they are late for movies. Too bad it takes so much time to get the clothes ready for their performance.
I always knew that the fast work needs in huge preparation! This is a lovely couple, funny and talented. It’s always nice to see your fellow countryman on the international stage.
Wow, they’re so talented! Such a creative and harmonious couple! They’re just perfect for each other. If I had an opportunity, I would visit this show with great pleasure. It would be an exciting experience.
Fantastic magicians! I love such tricks .they are always look so unbelievable. And the dresses drive me crazy! The record of a couple deserves respect. They are very talented and gorgeous. I wish them good luck, success and new records!!! I know they will surprise us!
The dream of every girl, Oh but if her husband supports it) and besides, beautiful, artistic girl. Oh , I like Cinderella, at the stroke of a magic wand, to turn into a beautiful Princess, well, only if no pumpkin)
