Too rude for primetime? Australia’s Got Talent comedy magician Lioz Shem Tov creates a phallic-shaped balloon with Shane Jacobson during bizarre grand finale stunt
Australia’s Got Talent is set to crown the 2019 winner on Sunday night.
And during his final performance, comedy magician Lioz Shem Tov hoped to secure some votes by creating a phallic-shaped balloon with judge Shane Jacobson.
The 43-year-old, who has previously appeared on America’s Got Talent, first placed the balloon between both of their crotches, before pressing together.

As the men embraced, the pressure forced the previously circular balloon to shift into the comical new shape.
Shane’s fellow judges Manu Feildel, Lucy Durack and Nicole Scherzinger found much hilarity in the climatic moment of Lioz’s performance.
After first taking to the stage with Shane, the comedian bizarrely pressed a pair of garden shears against the judge’s trousers while blindfolded.

‘You really get me in the funny bone,’ said Ricki-Lee Coulter afterwards.
‘Judges, there’s no denying Lioz has entertained us, but can you see Australia making him tonight’s winner?’
Shane responded: ‘I loved your performance, you just thrill and excite me and make me giggle. Thank you mate, I’m a fan, well done.’
Nicole said: ‘Lioz, I love your dry delivery and sense of humour. You’re going to have such a great career and your own show after this. I’m so happy for you.’

Before performing, Lioz joked: ‘My favourite judge is the fat guy [Shane]. Since being on Australia’s Got Talent, I’ve become very famous.
‘I can’t go anywhere without being recognised. It’s become quite uncomfortable. For the grand final I’m going to shock the world and it’s going to be something unusual.
‘If I will win the $100,000 [prize] the first thing I’ve going to do is buy a car and a big apartment with a swimming pool – and airplane.’
