Demian Aditya on America’s Got Talent
Aditya surprised the audience the second he got on stage. He made things even more intriguing after revealing that he could die if things went wrong —which was a definite possibility considering he only practiced once before! During his audition, Aditya was restrained with handcuffs and metal bars and put inside a glass box that would drop 900-lbs of sand on him within two minutes if he could not get out.
This was not all the illusionist did! Things were looking bad as Aditya worked on his neck restraint. Before the audience knew what was going on, the sand fell, and the magician could not be seen. While the audience was left speechless, Howie Mandel managed to ask, “Is that a problem?” before two men rushed on stage, one with a hammer, and broke the glass in an attempt to free Aditya. What made the trick so amazing? The man with the hammer turned out to be none other than Demian Aditya.
