Nigerian contortionist, Oyindamola Kolawole Emmanuel, popularly know as Dflex, shocked the judges at the July 20 episode of “American’s Got Talent” with his contortionist skills.

He pulled out all the stops for his AGT audition twisting his body into a variety of pretzel shapes. He was in the Top 10 on Nigeria’s Got Talent.

Dflex first discovered his talent on the playground in his secondary school, when he realized that he could “jump rope” with his hands. Now, the father of one with one on the way wants to use his talent to improve life for his family.

“The dream is to give my family the life they deserve,” he said. “I have a baby girl and I have another child coming soon and I want them to grow up and see that their dad did everything possible for them to have a good life. And also, to give my wife the life she deserves because she did everything possible for me to be out here today.”
