'Britain's Got Talent': Sword Swallower Alexandr Magala Is Show's Most Dangerous Act Ever

This audition is NOT for the faint-hearted.

The ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ stage has played host to the most dangerous act the show has ever seen, thanks to sword swallower Alexandr Magala, who auditioned for the judges.

The 26-year-old left Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams with their hearts in their mouths, when he brought his unique talent to the ITV talent competition.

In tense scenes to air during Saturday’s launch show (9 April), Alexandr dices with death as swallows a sword and proceeds to perform a series of jaw-dropping stunts.

The judges can barely look as he backflips his way across the stage, before climbing a pole and then hanging upside down.

The audience can then be heard screaming as he slides down the pole, stopping just millimetres before the sword reaches the floor and is forced further into his body.

The panel are rendered speechless by the act, with Alesha commenting: “I can’t believe what I’ve just witnessed.”

A shocked Simon adds: “I actually thought you were going to die.

“This is one of those auditions I will never, ever forget.”
