  • The magician not only dodged death but jumped out at the judges.

The magician had some really stunning and beautiful performances through illusions on Season 11. But of course, he had some scary acts as well.

One that stands out is when he got into a box that had what looked like daggers hanging above it held together by a rope on fire. He then got his hands chained together and he had to escape before the daggers fell down.

There is a twist ending that leads to a good jump scare for our poor judges.
