Zeno Sputafuoco, originally from Succivo in Italy, reached the semifinals of the notable television program 'Got Talent España' Season 7, which is the Spanish version of the international 'Got Talent' series.

TRIGGER WARNING: The following content contains graphic information that could be traumatic for some readers. Discretion is advised.

Zeno Sputafuoco's stint on 'Got Talent España' was a nerve-wracking one as he shocked the audience using hooks, scissors, and an electric fan. The semi-final round began with him inserting scissors up his nose. He then performed several stunts that were both unusual and terrifying to behold.

The video below shows him bringing an electric fan to the stage and then using his tongue to stop it; even the judges were taken aback by the stunt. If that weren't enough, he also summoned judge Dani Martinez to the stage and made him sit on a platform that was tied to a metal wire, and moved him around the stage with a hook in his nose. We can only imagine the nightmares Judge Dani must have had following Zeno's performance.
