Up and comer in the magic scene, Brendon Peel caught the attention of the whole world with his act at Britain’s Got Talent. In this performance, the talented artist had his co-performer chained to a chair, with a crossbow pointing at him. Brendon attempted to solve a complex puzzle that involved Rubik cubes. He had to solve the cubes and use them to add weight to scale that, if it tipped in the wrong direction, would set the crossbow towards his assistant’s head.
The BGT stunt had both the judges and the audience off the edge of their seats, as with viewers watching at home. The co-performer who is also an escapologist looked nervous as he attempted to free himself from the chains. The aura was intense, and at the end of the performance, the audience was mind-blown. The LAD Bible called the performance as one of the most dangerous performances ever seen on BGT. Although this wasn’t the first time Brendon performed for an international audience as he was already popularly known in South Africa for his unique style and magic mystery.
