Why have you decided to come on Britain's Got Talent?
Well, I haven't ever seen
anyone that looks like me doing the act that I'm about to do.

talent from this choir, a positive message...

OK.
Hello. What's your name, please?
My name is Andrew Basso.
I'm guessing you're Italian. ltaliano.
CHEERING
I think I know what kind of act you're gonna be doing,
but what was the moment where you thought,
"You know what, going to do this?"
When I was 13, I saw a movie about Houdini,
and I thought, "I wanna do that."
I'm assuming this is very, very dangerous.
It is. Has it ever gone wrong?
It happened.
But I'm still here.
OK. Well, look, I don't think I'm gonna ask any more questions
because I'm just dying to see what you're gonna do.
So good luck. Thank you very much.
CHEERING
INTENSE MUSIC
This is the act that Harry Houdini said
was the most dangerous and difficult.
It represented the peak of his creation.
The water torture cell.
Being upside down...
Upside down?!
...throws your senses.
The blood rushes to the head.
And it's challenging to stay calm and lower your heart rate
when there is fear and adrenaline.
Amanda, would you join me on stage?
Oh, crikey. Thank you very much.
APPLAUSE
Would you stand here for me?
I will escape in two minutes.
Any longer and I may not come out alive.
I'm risking my life.
Oh, my God.
You're going to handcuff me, both hands.
You will restrain my ankles and I will have only one help.
This paperclip.
Please wish me good luck.
Good luck. Thank you.
APPLAUSE
This is dangerous, by the way.
