Profile | Hong Kong aerialist Jimmy Wong on Britainโ€™s Got Talent audition and love of aerial straps



Watching Hong Kong aerialist Jimmy Wong in action is a dizzying experience.

His gravity-defying acts take him high off the stage, where he might do something like rapidly spin while clinging to a lone strap with just one arm.

Earlier this month, 39-year-old Wong, who emigrated from Hong Kong to the UK two years ago, appeared on Britainโ€™s Got Talent in a mesmerising performance that showed off his skills.

Wongโ€™s audition on the long-running talent show was a mix of acrobatics and water dancing that had some audience members on their feet. His act received a โ€œyesโ€ vote from all four judges, allowing him to proceed to the next round.

โ€œIt is a high-stress environment for performers but the audience was really supportive,โ€ Wong says of his audition that was taped in October.
