Former Spice girl Mel B was turned into a real life Voodoo doll during a contestant's magic performance on `America's Got Talent`

A reluctant Mel was coaxed into helping contestant Mike Super with his mind-blowing routine, after she admitted she didn't believe he received his magical powers from a spirit energy dubbed Desmond, reports dailymail.co.uk.

`As Mel B makes her way to the stage it doesn't matter if you believe in Desmond. All that matters tonight is that you are entertained,` Mike said.

Mike sat the singer down on a chair. The performer then claimed to have put the spirit of Desmond inside of Mel and the mother of four looked decidedly unimpressed.

Mike pulled out a Voodoo doll, which he dubbed 'My Scary Spice doll' and explained: 'Whatever I do to this doll, Desmond is going to make you feel it. I'm going to link to doll's aura to Mel's.`

He then tapped on the doll and Mel confirmed she felt the tap on her shoulder.

But the performer stepped it up a notch in a bid to convince the singer of his powers, lighting the doll's hands on fire with Mel opening her palms to reveal she has ash marks.

`But wait, Mel B I need to know do you believe in Desmond now,' he asked.

`Well yeah,` she hesitantly replied.

He finished off his routine by tasering the Voodoo doll and an unimpressed Mel also felt the shocks.

`That really hurt. I don't get paid enough for this,` she said as she stormed off the stage.

Mel later tweeted: `I do not like desmand(sic).`

Interestingly it's not her first foray into the world of Voodoo. In 2007, Mel participated in a Channel 4 documentary called `Voodoo Princess`, where she explored Voodoo priests, animal sacrifices and zombies in West Africa.
