00:00Hi, what's your name and where are you from? My name is Mark and I'm from North London. Brilliant
00:09How old are you? I'm 46. Who have you brought with you today? My wife. She is somewhere in the audience
00:14Brilliant. There she is. My daughter is here, but she's only two years old. So she's
00:20Watching Peppa Pig somewhere or something probably. Are you a magician? I am indeed. And is that how you make a living?
00:26I've done a lot of jobs not necessarily living. There's the good and the bad
00:31Well the best of luck. Thank you very much indeed. Thank you. Can I join you?
00:37I've always wondered what would it be like to experience real magic for two years ago?
00:42I did and it changed me and my life forever
00:48Amanda yeah, I'm gonna ask you to give this Rubik's Cube a mix for me. Can you keep on mixing until I come back to you?
00:54Yes, thank you
00:55David
00:57Inside this box are 25 different colored crayons. I'm gonna give these a mix and
01:03David you're gonna choose one
01:05But without looking just grab one at random. Hold it in your hand David, but don't look at it. Keep it hidden
01:13Alicia these cards belong to my daughter. It's important to see that all the cards are different
01:19Yeah, I'm gonna ask you to just touch the back of anyone
01:22It doesn't matter which but what is very very important is that I don't do any sleight of hand
01:27So I'll spread the cards like this point to anyone that you like
01:31Wow right down in
01:34You hide out your hand for me
01:35I'm gonna place that card on the palm of your hand genuinely the card that you touch is okay
01:41lovely
01:42Amanda yes, you have mixed that cube. Yeah into a completely unique
01:47Pattern yeah fair to say we'll get back to that
01:51in a moment
01:53Simon
01:54I'm gonna ask you to hold this pen in your right hand right here
02:00Perfect you lower your wrist down get comfortable lovely
02:04This book belongs to my wife. There are over 600 pages around about 200,000 words in the book
02:10Alicia, can I ask you to close your eyes for a moment and
02:13Just say the word stop
02:16Stop
02:17Simon I'm gonna hold the book above your pen
02:20Amanda can you say the word stop as I do this?
02:23Stop
02:24Simon can you bring the pen up to the page without looking and draw a small circle the size of a five pence piece?
02:29You don't have to be precise
02:31I'm gonna place the book down in front of you here Simon. I'll take the pen
02:35Can you do me a favor lift up the book don't show me
02:38But have a look at where you've drawn that circle
02:41Can you confirm that there is a word or words that you can see within that circle?
02:45Yeah, yeah, there is
02:48Wonderful. It's a good start David. Can you tell us?
02:51What color crayon do you have?
02:54Red the red crayon Alicia for the first time what car did you choose?
03:01Puppet penguin the puppet penguin Amanda very carefully
03:04Can you just lift off the box so we can see the pattern that you've created on the very top of that Rubik's Cube?
03:12Now if I told you that I knew this exact outcome
03:16Yesterday a week ago or a month ago you'd say well that was have to be magic
03:21Some people would I would but it's not real magic
03:28It's interesting
03:30Intriguing maybe clever some might even say amazing, but it's not real magic
03:35See for me real magic changed two years ago

29:02Yeah!
29:24What?
29:26For years and years, many illusionists, magicians, all over the world
29:31to the beautiful art form called Quick Change.
29:35Now, Quick Change would use a hoop like this.
29:39A beautiful costume and a girl,
29:42and the costume would change like this.
29:45Pretty cool, right?
29:47But this is where it's got talent, and we like to do things differently.
29:50This is the human Quick Change.
29:53Oh!
30:11Yeah!
30:15I gotta have a quick look to make sure he was still there.
30:17Woo!
30:29Yo!

31:41Hey!
31:43Hey!
31:45Hey!
31:47Well, we weren't
31:49expecting that!
31:51And look at your reaction!
31:53You weren't expecting that, were you?
32:00Hi!
32:01Hello!
32:02Do you want to tell us who you are, please?
32:03Mandy Muden.
32:04Where are you from?
32:05London.
32:06Mandy, how old are you?
32:07Let's just say I've seen a few summers and leave it there, Simon.
32:10That's a good answer.
32:12We've all seen a few summers, Mandy.
32:14Is this what you do full-time?
32:15Yeah, I'm a bit of a performer.
32:16Have you nearly had that opportunity where you had that break?
32:20To be quite honest, not really, because my family don't even really know who I am, so no, no.
32:26I don't know who you are.
32:27No, they're always confused when I come home, but you know.
32:33I keep trying, you never know.
32:35Alright, well, look, good luck.
32:36Thank you very much.
32:40This is right up my street.
32:41It's fine.
32:42Okay, now, I'm going to show you something that is a little bit extraordinary, okay?
32:48Whatever I write or draw on this pad becomes a reality.
32:56I was hoping I'd be a bit older when the melons dropped.
33:10Now, I'm completely psychiatric, psychotic, and some people do actually call me a witch.
33:17And, David, I'm being very drawn to you.
33:21Can you feel me stroking your aura?
33:26You will in a minute.
33:27Now, David, I'm going to try and read your mind.
33:30I want you to think of somebody, David, that you're very, very attracted to.
33:39Who is it, David, that you're very, very attracted to?
33:42Simon!
33:43Simon!
33:53That's interesting.
33:56Now, Alicia, I'm being drawn to you, and I want you to think of something you like to do most days.
34:03Alright, here we go.
34:05Alright, what are you thinking of?
34:07Food.
34:13She is gone.
34:14That's sweet.
34:17She's brilliant, this girl.
34:18I love her.
34:19Right, Simon, because it's you, dear, I want you to think of a number between one and five thousand.
34:23Make it really hard for me, alright?
34:25Here we go, Simon.
34:26Are you thinking?
34:28Okay, this'll be it.
34:32What number are you thinking of?
34:33Seven, seven, seven.
34:39That is uncanny.
34:43Amanda.
34:45Yeah?
34:46Would you be so kind as to join me on stage?
34:48Oh, amazing, amazing.
34:52Amanda, such a gorgeous.
34:55Good one.
34:56Just sit on that stool.
34:57Now, Amanda, just touch any card.
34:59Touch.
35:00Touch.
35:01Yes, touch any card.
35:02Take it out.
35:03Look at it.
35:04Okay, I'm going to make a prediction of what it is.
35:07Show everybody.
35:09And remember it.
35:11Okay.
35:14Just the same, David, you're very attracted to Simon and I don't blame you with that lovely jewel line.
35:20Alicia, you like food?
35:21What?
35:22And your number was seven, seven, seven.
35:23Was that right, Simon?
35:24Yes.
35:25That says seven, seven, zero.
35:26Oh, maybe I got that one wrong, but let's move on.
35:27Okay.
35:28Sometimes riches can't be perfect.
35:29Now, Amanda, what was the card?
35:30It was the four of spades.
35:31The four of...
35:32Was it?
35:33Yes, not the three.
35:34Oh, it was a four.
35:35So we're a spade missing then, everybody.
35:36Okay, well look, here it is.
35:37Here it is.
35:38Here it is.
35:39Oh, it's a four.
35:40Okay, I'm going to try and see you.
35:41And your number was seven, seven, seven.
35:42Was that right, Simon?
35:43Yes.
35:44That says seven, seven, zero.
35:45Oh, maybe I've got that one wrong, but let's move on.
35:46Sometimes riches can't be perfect.
35:47Now, Amanda, what was the card?
35:48It was the four of spades.
35:49The four of...
35:50Was it?
35:51Yes.
35:52Not the three.
35:53Oh, it was a four.
35:54So we're a spade missing then, everybody.
35:57Okay, well look, here it is.
36:10I think she was really good.
36:12Well, Mandy, uh, Alicia, what did you think?
36:15I think you are genius.
36:17Yeah.
36:18That was intelligent.
36:19It's so great to see a female comic up there doing her thing.
36:23You rocked it.
36:24Oh, thank you.
36:25Thank you, Alicia.
36:26Good.
36:27David.
36:28I just don't get why you're not already a comedy superstar.
36:31Because that was hilarious.
36:33Oh, thank you.
36:34I mean, for me, this feels a complete fit with Britain's Got Talent.
36:39It's full of variety.
36:40It's comedy.
36:41It's sort of Tommy Cooper-esque.
36:43Everybody loved him.
36:44And I think everybody's going to love you.
36:46It was amazing.
36:49I agree.
36:50I mean, I mean, this is a compliment, Mandy.
36:52You are the best witch.
36:53Honestly, we have ever had on Britain's Got Talent.
36:56And I genuinely mean that.
36:57Yeah.
36:58And the fact that you laid a melon.
37:00You carried a watermelon.
37:01I mean, where else are you going to see that?
37:05Okay, we're going to vote, David.
37:07I'm going to say yes.
37:08Alicia.
37:09I'm saying yes.
37:11Mandy, it's a yes from Mandy.
37:13Ye have four yeses.
37:14Thank you so much.
37:16Hello.
37:17What's your name?
37:18My name is Jamie Raven.
37:19Hello, Jamie Raven.
37:20Hello.
37:21How old are you?
37:22I am 31.
37:23And where are you from?
37:24Originally from Hammersmith, but I now live, big up.
37:25I now live in Ascot with my wife.
37:26Can I ask you what you're doing today?
37:27I'm a magician.
37:28My earliest memory of watching magic was probably about 10 or 11.
37:31We were on a family holiday and we were out in a restaurant and had a magician who came over and he did his,
37:40his act I thought was amazing.
37:41And that was it?
37:42It would spark something that, you know, 20 years later would bring me here today.
37:43I am not alone.
37:44I am not alone.
37:45I am not alone.
37:46I am not alone.
37:47I am not alone.
37:48I am not alone but I was alone.
37:49I am not alone, not alone.
37:50I am not alone.
37:51I am not alone.
37:52I am alone.
37:53I am not alone.
37:54I am not alone.
37:55I am not alone.
37:56I am all alone.
37:57today. I live at home with my wife Ashley. She's the best thing that ever
38:04happened to me and everything I do, everything is for her. When we first met
38:09we were at the bar and I said I'll get you a drink and she had a five pound
38:13note so I folded up and changed it into a fifty pound note and paid for it. It was
38:17all the money I had in the world. That was one thing that won her over, the
38:21prospect of fifty pound notes. Little did she know that was the only one that
38:25you'd see for the next eight years. Over the years I've performed in pubs, I've
38:30done the clubs, I've done the darkest rooms, the loudest rooms, you know it is a
38:35slog. I just want them to see the decades basically of practice and what I know I
38:40can do so I just I'm excited and nervous in myself I want to do the best that I
38:45can do. Today it could change everything to actually do the raw variety as a
38:50performer, you made it.
38:54Okay. May I come and join you at your table would that be okay? I'd like to share
39:02with you a trick. It uses a fifty pound note, one of the largest currency notes
39:08available in this country. With my sleeves rolled up guys, with nothing in my hands, we
39:14can get a shot of this on the screen. I'm gonna change this fifty pound note into the
39:17much rarer, infinitely more valuable, Bank of Britain's Got Talent, fifty pound note.
39:25No way!
39:27You can see we've got, we've got our head of state, Mr. Simon Cowell, we've got our
39:29beautiful princesses, of course, our queen and son, for you to keep, don't spend it
39:34all at once. Guys, I don't want you to feel left out. So I brought along some more
39:38cash for you but I know, I know deep down, you don't really want one of these, you'd much
39:43rather have, one of those, Bank of Britain's Got Talent, one for each of you to keep.
39:50Oh, I love that!
39:52Thank you very much!
39:53What?
39:54Thought I'd finish with a trick using a picture that I've drawn, um, it's a self-portrait,
39:59that's me, this is where we are, Britain's Got Talent. You see, most magicians at this
40:04point would ask one of you to reach in and take a card, I'm not gonna do that. Instead,
40:08if I may, I'm just gonna ask each of you one question. David, if I may, start with you.
40:13If I could ask you to choose a colour, red or black, whatever you say is what we will use,
40:18what colour would you like?
40:19Black.
40:20Black. Alicia, the black cards are split into two suits, we have the spades, we have the
40:23clubs, again, if I could ask you to choose whatever you want is what we will use.
40:27Clubs.
40:28Clubs, fantastic Amanda, I need you to choose a value for me. What would you like?
40:30Nine.
40:31Nine, the nine of clubs. Simon, you're the boss. I'm gonna give you the chance if you like to stick
40:36with the nine of clubs or you can overrule all of the other judges and you can choose
40:41any other car that you like. What would you like?
40:46Seven of hearts.
40:47The seven of hearts. Okay. Guys, there is no way I could know that you would choose the
40:54nine of clubs. There's no way I would know if you would overrule and if you would, what
40:56you would change to. You'll agree I haven't touched these. What I didn't tell you is that
41:01I've also drawn on the back of every single other card in this deck. Do you remember those
41:07cartoon flick books where you flick through and the little man comes to life? Check this
41:12out. You see our magician. He takes off his hat. He reaches inside. He pulls out just
41:19one card. Ladies and gentlemen, not just any card. It's the seven of hearts.
41:26you know, I know this sounds crazy, but I now actually believe in magic.
41:55I do. Like some people believe in ghosts, I now believe in magic because there is no
42:02explanation for that. None whatsoever, Alicia. Oh my goodness, honestly, that is going to
42:08bug us for the rest of the day how you did that. You are incredible. I feel like we are
42:13witnessing the beginning of something special with you. Bless you. David? I mean that is a
42:18I mean that is a world class trick. That's one of the best magic tools I've ever seen. And
42:25it's not a trick. It's real magic. Yeah. He has magical powers. Somebody once said to me, who
42:32I really respect, that there are a lot of people who do tricks and there are few people who actually
42:37can do magic. And I think we just saw that. Could you make Simon disappear?
42:44We're going to take a vote. David? Of course. Yes. Yes for me. It's a yes for me. You've got four
42:59yeses. Congratulations. I now believe. Come on. Well done. How was that? Well, it's amazing. Best trick I've
43:16seen. Oh yeah, I got four yeses. Oh my God. I'm going to be cried. It was unbelievable. Yeah, you
43:23great. I'm just so happy. Thank you guys. Have fun and enjoy. Hello. Hello there. What's
43:35your name? James Moore. How are you James? I'm 24. Is this what you do full time or do you
43:40have a day job? This is now full time for me. I've been doing it's a bit of magic since
43:43I was eight. Simon loves magic. I know how much he loves it. I do like magic when it's
43:48good. Okay. Okay. Best of luck.
44:18perfect.
44:48It was amazing, you look great, you've got fantastic confidence, very slick, definitely
45:17You're gonna say yes
45:2040 fat yeses, congratulations
45:25Well done, I don't believe
