As if that was not dangerous enough, they invited Martina McBride, the guest judge that night, to the stage. They asked her to peek through a sealed mask which will be put over Alejandro’s eyes so he is blindfolded during the next stunt.

Martina tied the mask over Alejandro’s eyes and went back to her seat so the show can continue.

Everyone’s heart dropped to the floor as Alejandro jumped back on Ricardo’s feet. Ricardo exerted more force into his throw this time to send Alejandro into several spins in the air before landing on his lower back against his feet.

It was a feat like no other.

Icarian games is ancient and rare. Sure, you can figure out why. It is extremely perilous, you’d be hard pressed to find an act where an acrobat is blindfolded.
