Who is The Sacred Riana?

The Sacred Riana is an Indonesian magician and illusionist.

She was born as Marie Antoinette Riana Graharani on July 13, 1992, in Jakarta.

The artist went to St Ursula Catholic School and the University of Buna Mulia before dedicating herself to her art.

Riana’s look is based on The Ring, while her doll that she carries is similar to that of Annabelle from The Conjuring.

Within her act, the illusionist is defined by her distinctive appearance and head and hand twitches.

She also always keeps a static facial expression and stands with one of her legs bent, as well as her long hair obscuring the majority of her face.

The sacred part of her name was added by her and her manager to reflect their belief that magic is a sacred thing.

When was The Sacred Riana last on Asia’s Got Talent?

In 2017 The Sacred Riana competed in the second series of Asia’s Got Talent.

She edged out Filipino hip-hop dance act DM-X Comvalenoz to be crowned champion in the grand final.

But it wasn’t her first taste of TV fame as she had already won Stand Up Magic Indonesia in 2012.

She also appeared in a host of other talent shows in the continent.

And on August 31, The Sacred Riana will take to the BGT: The Champions stage with another terrifying performance where she targets judge Amanda Holden in the suspense-ridden act.
