'America's Got Talent' star Aaron Crow's knife trick goes awry, Simon nearly loses hand

Mel B pressed the buzzer mid-act and that may have been a reason for Aaron to nearly lose attention and for Simon to nearly lose his hand.

Every time Aaron Crow performs on the ‘America’s Got Talent’ stage viewers are on the edge of their seats and on the Quarterfinals 3 episode, which was shot live from the Dolby Theatre this week, it looks like our fears almost materialized. The daredevil act involved Simon Cowell, one of the judges, smashing his hand on a box, that may or may not have a knife in it, and it turns out he almost chose the wrong box.  

Let’s back up. In the Quarterfinals, Aaron asked Howie Mandel to mix up four red boxes that he brought with him, one of which held a knife, the blade of which was pointed up. Howie initially chose two boxes, both of which Aaron smashed, and found had no knives in them.
