Willem Roelants bleeds after popping balloons, puzzled 'America's Got Talent' fans ask how?

As it turns out, the 'AGT' judges weren't the only ones left thoroughly confused by Willem Roelants bizarre balloon-popping act

The recently aired episode of 'America's Got Talent' had quite a few bizarre acts ranging from a man in a giant pants costume who called himself Mr. Pants, to The Dremeka Choir, who left the audience shook with their death metal performance, but none of them came close to Willem Roelants. Roelants, who claimed to be a musician walked onto the stage hoping to woo the judges.

The judges were expecting Roelants to start singing a song, but instead of a mic set or some instrument being brought to the stage, a table filled with balloons appeared. Roelants then pulled out a pin and began walking around popping balloons with intense concentration. The judges waited for a few seconds to figure out what was going on, but when they realized that Roelants was just going to continue popping balloons and not sing anything, they began pressing the no buzzer. After all the four judges pressed the no buzzer, Simon Cowell took the lead and asked Roelants if he never had a birthday party before. But before Roelants could reply, the judges noticed blood trickling down from the side of his head. Howie Mandel openly wondered how someone could start bleeding by just popping balloons, while there were other death-defying performers who didn't even break into a sweat after their daring acts.
