Peter Terren – A shocking passion from ABC Open South West WA on Vimeo.
I was invited to perform in the auditions of Australia’s Got Talent in Perth and it screened on May 10th Channel 7.
Here is a 7 second animated gif version of the 2 minute act.
Below is my performance from the official site (complete with 15 sec ad to start).
Dr Electric if you please…
Below is the performance from my video camera (used for safety monitoring). It includes the original sound track and lots of other stuff not seen in the televised show.
This is the 1 minute show promo. After the advert, I appear at 7 seconds in. Don’t blink as it is only for 1 second. They showed a second or so of my act on most promos and most of the 8 episodes including the semifinal one which I didn’t get to.

Above shows the main two stunts I did. Left shows how to burn CD’s and a wooden rod that I am holding goes up in flames. The right shows sparks onto a metal cage that surrounds me .
Feel free to play the original soundtrack while you continue to explore this site.

Discovery USA screened “Is it possible?” in the USA on 3 occasions April 7 – May 2. My stuff was featured for 7 mins and the title was Dr Electric, human lightning rod….hmmm. Sounds like I need some colored tights and wear my undies on the outside – perhaps 2 pairs.
Directed by Neil Thomas (Thunderbird Films) who flew in from Canada. It was filmed by cameraman Dean Lomax on Nov, 7 2009. A long 13 hour shoot for 4 hours footage on one camera and 3h on the other. Filmed on location (my home in Bunbury, Western Australia) and shows lots of big sparks and stunts including sparks onto me while in a swimming pool. Hey, I even blew up a few watermelons. Video runs 8 mins.
