Nobody knew quite what they were in for when 24-year-old acrobatic performer Gustavo Sartori stepped onto theĀ “Spain’s Got Talent” stage.

It’s no secret that audiences expect show-stopping performances from singers and dancers, but as Gustavo demonstrates in this unforgettable routine, there’s more than one way to leave an audience truly breathless!

It wasn’t smooth sailing, though. Just 10 seconds into the routine,Ā he had to stop because his music was malfunctioning. Fortunately, the audience and judges were incredibly forgiving ā€“ and it’s a good thing because he would go on to win their hearts in a matter of seconds.

Gustavo’s talents are unlike anything we’ve seen before.Ā There were moments he was swinging high above the unforgiving stage floor by just the back of his neck!

And at another point, it was only one ankle.
