Got Talent competitions have all sorts of acts in their roster–from heartwarming to sad to downright death defying. Sometimes, it is hard to sit through a performance without one of your eyes clothes. Alexandr Magala’s audition is definitely one of those performances.

Magala, a 26-year-old daredevil, swallowed swords while doing stunts. It was so dangerous that the audience couldn’t stop gasping in fear of the young man’s safety.

He started his performance with an impressive pole trick where he did did a moonwalk while hanging on the side of a pole, putting his entire body weight on his hands and arms. It takes a lot of strength to be able to do so and he did it flawlessly.

Next, he pulled out a sword which got everyone nervous. He licked the sword and swallowed it, horrifying everyone at the theater. As if swallowing it isn’t enough, he went on to do backflips with the sword still in his mouth. Yikes!

He pulled out the sword from his mouth and threw it to the side. He grabbed another sword, a bigger one, and then stuffed it down his throat, horrifying everyone yet again!

So you must be wondering how the pole in the middle of the stage plays a part in this whole act. Well..he climbed the pole all the way to the top and in inverted his body–with a sword still stuffed down his throat.

He is now upside down, looking at the floor, with a sword still stuffed in his mouth. The crowd and judges screamed in terror. They could barely look at the man who could easily die from this death defying act.

And without warning, the daredevil’s legs loosened the grip from the pole, fast-tracking his spiral to the bottom as he was inverted with a sword STILL in his mouth!

He re-tightened his grip on the pole to stop his fall, just enough for the butt of the handle of the sword touches the ground. Everyone was relieved that the act is over without the young daredevil getting impales.

Even the paramedics in the backstage sighed in relief as he got away with his stunt unscathed. One false move and he could’ve died.
