Lord Nil accepted Simon Cowell’s challenge and added alligators to a very dangerous act in the last round of Judge Cuts on America’s Got Talent Tuesday.
Above, Lord Nil is pictured before his act during the Judge Cuts on ‘America’s Got Talent’ on August 7 on NBC. The escape artist hung in a straight jacket upside down from burning ropes above alligators.
After the 38-year-old escape artist’s audition in June, the judge asked if he could include alligators next. Lord Nil added them to an already dangerous act that went wrong in 2015. He had been trying to escape from a straight jacket while hanging upside down 15 feet in the air from burning ropes. He didn’t escape in time and fell, breaking his hips, shattering bones in his arm and suffering head trauma. For the Judge Cuts, he did the same act—above alligators. “If I fail this escape, I cannot think of the consequences,” he said.
So interesting to watch. I feel like I don’t breathe when I watch these type of performances
