A magician had a lucky escape when the stage rigging collapsed in the middle of his show.

Jean Paul Olhaberry was performing his routine on a blustery day in front of a huge LED screen displaying his name.

As the rigging behind him teeters forwards, the gasping audience tries to warn him.

The magician turns around in shock and manages to leap off the stage just before being crushed by the large screen.

It happened during a festival to mark the 11th anniversary of the San Antonio Cultural Centre in Valparaíso, Chile.

The family event included live music, comedians, children’s workshops, and a magic show by Olhaberry who was the opening act.

The rigging collapsed in the opening minutes of his routine.

He said afterwards: “Luckily, it happened to me and not to the other artists at the event.”

According to reports, three people sustained minor injuries in the incident.

They were treated at the scene and the situation was quickly brought under control by the organisers.

However, the rest of the event was suspended, as reported by What’s The Jam.

The council said “technical problems” caused the “collapse of the upper stage structure”.

“For this reason, the anniversary event has been suspended.”

They added: “The situation was fortunately controlled without anyone being seriously injured and all attendees were evacuated in a timely manner.”

One local commented: “They forgot to use 20 tonne drums as counterweights.”
