Confident, the candidate took the 'Got Talent' stage and declared that his performance had never been seen on the show before. "It is a very dangerous act that requires very strong concentration, and if there is a mistake, it can be fatal," he warned.
"The risk is real, it is my life."
"There are very few people who do it because if I fall there, I may never walk again. It is a very dangerous act, and, to be honest, I have always risked my life," he added.
Super Silva Jr performed an act that combined gymnastics maneuvers with risky acrobatics, leaving the audience in complete terror and forcing them to cover their heads with their hands. Super Silva Jr descended from the heights to firm ground amid cheers and acclaim complimenting his performance.
He thanked the audience and the jury for their support.
