Indonesian illusionist Demian Aditya has auditioned for TV show America’s Got Talent's newest season.
“I’m on the first episode and it will be broadcast on May 30 [local time],” he told kompas.com on Saturday.
He shares that he performed a thrilling act during the audition; one that will not be allowed on local TV channels due to the regulations of the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI).
Demian gave a peek of the performance on his Instagram account where he showed a handcuff. “This is one of the tools that I’ll be using for tomorrow’s performance,” he wrote. He also shared other photos on the platform, including one he took before he went on stage.

As reported by tempo.co, Demian received the offer to perform on America’s Got Talent by one of the show’s producers.
“[At first] I thought it was a prank and I ignored [the producer's offer] for some time,” he said.
However, after checking other sources, including the show itself, Demian later agreed.
Those who are interested in watching his performance can tune in through the NBC channel.
Demian encouraged the public to use the hashtag #AGTdemian on social media as a way to support his act. (wir/kes)
