TanBA is a Japanese magician who auditioned for Series 11 of Britain's Got Talent.
TanBA's audition consisted of him swallowing a whole balloon followed by him eating a handful of razor blades, to where at the end of the performance he regurgitated everything back out, including the balloon from the beginning. All 4 judges gave him "Yes" votes sending him to the next round.
TanBA was cut before the Semi-Finals by the judges, even though he did not appear in the episode at all. It is thought that he was cut early because of his major popularity, like with Gao Lin & Liu Xin, who appeared in the same series.
