America's Got Talent Water Torture Cell

Several people have been asking us what happened to our 2017 America's Got Talent auditions. We were unanimously put through to the second round by all the judges. For the second round we were going to perform a Water Torture Cell that we built specifically for America's Got Talent.

 

This version of our Water Torture Cell was created with a nod to legendary escape artist Steve Baker however our version is in full view.

 

Once Dayle's feet have been locked into the stocks and she has been raised over the Water Tank her hands are then secured in a pair of German Clejuso handcuffs. A lock secures the handcuffs to a chain which runs through the bottom of the Tank, up the side and out the side of the stocks.

 

As Dayle is lowered into the water filled Tank the chain is pulled tight. What was cool about this was that we were told Simon Cowell would be the one assisting us and pulling the chain as Dayle was being lowered.

 

When Dayle reaches the bottom of the Tank the stocks are locked to the Tank with four padlocks and the chain is locked in place so it cannot be pulled back into the Tank. So not only are Dayle's feet locked above her but her hands are secured to the bottom of the Tank.

 

What also made this escape unique is that it would have been performed in full view of the audience and judges.

 

Dayle was very sick during our first audition and had a terrible cough but she still successfully completed an underwater escape for the first round. When we returned home we were told that Dayle had bronchitis. She had been experiencing a lot pain when breathing and was also told that she had a cracked rib from the violent coughing that she had been experiencing.

 

Two weeks prior to the round 2 audition we had to inform our producer that we would be unable to compete due to doctor's orders regarding Dayle's cracked rib.

 

We've been asked to return for America's Got Talent 2018. We'll see what happens!
