ndonesian illusionist The Sacred Riana continues to spread horror into living rooms around the world on TV show America’s Got Talent.

She recently performed in the second round of the quarterfinals of the famous talent show and Simon Cowell, as a judge, played along with her performance, promising he would not talk trash to her if she spared him.

However, Cowell’s offer did not save him from Riana’s terrorizing.

After he stopped talking, a wooden box in front of him suddenly opened by itself.

The presenter, Tyra Banks, who was standing beside Riana at the time, instructed Cowell to look after the box.

As Cowell put his hand in the box, a falling noise emerged from inside.

“It’s my voodoo doll,” said Cowell.

Cowell thought the stunt was brilliant and said he wanted to watch Riana’s next performance while throwing the doll back into the box in terror.
