Ah come on. 25 seconds is not 'nearly drowning', it's going for a quick dip underwater!

I think it's good to have a fail like that every once in a while.

I guess 25 seconds doesn't seem that long unless you are panicking underwater on a live TV show....

oppps, goes to show that you really should learn your material before performing it.

That ups the ante for people now next time they watch a magician do a water escape.

Here's the vid for anyone who wants to see http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=0jwyQqg8nxE

P.S It's in German and at the end I get the impression that the woman thought that she had actually got the number right

After watching the video Amila hardly looked "stunned" or panicked in any way IMO
Love the bit in the article saying she was voted through despite her problems. Did you hear the applause she got for simply unzipping and removing her skirt! Perhaps this was what swayed the vote!!

The fact that she still got voted through is rediculous. She failed to successfully complete her performance, on a show, I assume, where they're trying to find the best magic performaners, and she got voted through.

She's going to have to pull a rabbit out of her ass in her next performance, (figuratively and literally) methinks to prove she should still be there.

She took off her skirt but still went in wearing knee length boots and tights, I think if I was going to be jumping into a tube full of water dressed like that, the skirt would be the last thing I'd be worrying about.
