The acrobat kicked off her performance by being lifted into the air on an aerial hoop.

She managed to balance her body perfectly in plank position despite being spun in circles and only holding onto the ring with her hands.

Itzel then took the stunt a step further by balancing on the hoop with her waist only, letting go with both hands.

At the judge's table Amanda gasped in shock, whispering: "Wow."

The aerialist then maneuvered herself so only her neck was holding her up, as the rest of her body floated in the air.

Itzel was balanced metres above the stage with no crash mat in case she fell.

Audience members could also be seen looking at the performer in terror.

Thankfully she pulled off the stunt, and was returned to the ground in one piece.

Amanda was previously seen screaming in fear as an acrobatic stunt went wrong on the set of Britain's Got Talent.

One of the Serbat Troupe members appeared to twist his foot and nearly injured himself when he landed wrong after performing a flip.

A concerned Amanda suggested that they should end the act there.

However, he got back up and tried again, and the judges were blown away by the final result.
