00:00The odds of being born with albinism is one in 20,000 people.
00:06I am one of those one in 20,000 people, and I believe this gives me a special ability
00:13to connect with people.
00:14You see, I've lived in a body that made the world stop and stare.
00:19And the world didn't quite know what to make of me.
00:22But there was one person who never saw me that way.
00:25My mother.
00:28Tonight, I'd like to share one of her lessons with one very special person.
00:33But first, I have to find them.
00:36Could everybody place your hand up like this?
00:39You can join in at home.
00:42Follow along with me.
00:43Thumbs up.
00:46Thumbs down.
00:48Open palm.
00:51OK sign.
00:53Place it here on your chin.
00:57Your chin is here.
01:01Simon, you got it right.
01:03You'll be perfect.
01:05Now, we all have a childhood memory of someone that had a profound impact on us when we were
01:11kids.
01:11Tonight, Simon, I'd like you to go back to when you were a young boy and think of a memory
01:17that had a profound impact on your life.
01:19I want you to think of a name that you associate with this memory.
01:24Think of someone nobody could know.
01:27Oh, hang on.
01:30Hang on.
01:30OK.
01:31Got it.
01:32Excellent.
01:34Simon.
01:34Simon, lock eyes with me.
01:37They say the eyes are the windows to the soul.
01:41And right now, I'm seeing into your soul.
01:45Just close those eyes.
01:46I want you now to imagine, Simon, that we're connecting through the power of our imaginations.
01:53Imagine sending that name from your mind to mine.
02:05OK, stop, open those eyes.
02:08In a nice, clear voice, what was the first letter of the name you were thinking of?
02:16W.
02:29How about you take this to the next level?
02:32Simon, don't say anything out loud, but I want you to think of an object that you associate
02:37with this memory.
02:39One word.
02:41A word that I couldn't possibly know.
02:43Now just so we can confirm this at the end, could you write that down on the page?
02:47A piece of paper in front of you and fold it up and keep it in your hand.
02:51Yeah.
02:52Now there's no possible way I could know what this word is.
02:55This hasn't been set up beforehand and Simon and I haven't met before tonight.
03:01That's true.
03:03But good.
03:04Look at me.
03:05Close your eyes.
03:12Open your eyes.
03:14Simon, do these numbers mean anything to you?
03:19No.
03:21Well, they do to me.
03:26Amanda, in front of you is my old school bag.
03:28Could you reach in please and take out the objects from inside?
03:31The object.
03:31Amongst all of my stuff is a small pocket dictionary.
03:36Dictionary.
04:00Dictionary?
04:01Hidden amongst those tiny pages.
04:04Simon.
04:05Close your eyes for me and think of that one word you wrote down earlier over and over
04:10again inside your mind.
04:12Amanda, could I ask you to pick up the dictionary please?
04:15Yes.
04:16And turn to page 55.
04:21Yes.
04:21The next number, Amanda, is one.
04:24Could you place your finger on the first column of that page?
04:27Yes.
04:28And the last number is seven.
04:31Can you count down seven bold words and place your finger just below the seventh bold
04:37word from the top?
04:39Now Simon's holding on to something inside his mind.
04:42Don't say that word yet.
04:45Could I ask who was W?
04:48Mr. Wilson.
04:49Mr. Wilson.
04:50But what was this memory you were thinking of?
04:52When I was at my first school, we were told by my headmaster about riding a bike down
05:03a hill.
05:07What was the word you were thinking of?
05:10Bicycle.
05:11Ow!
05:15Open your eyes.
05:25What?
05:31You see tonight's lesson is this.
05:34No matter what barriers you face in life, if you can see in your imagination, you
05:39Can be anything
05:41Thank you so much
06:02That's spooky, that is
06:05Unbelievable, I don't think we've ever been or surprised like that because who knows what goes on in that mind
06:14Remember being at school and the headmaster was called mr
06:17Wilson, and he told us you gotta hang on to the handlebars on your bike
06:23No one's gonna believe that they're not gonna believe it I swear on my life
06:28That's it. Yeah, your whole presentation was so lovely that was brilliant
06:33That's gonna bother us for ages now, isn't it trying to work out how you did it?
06:37What can I say it's impressive you have superpowers?
06:43I actually think you look like a movie star you look amazing
06:51I
06:51Spent 10 years dying my hair in big time because I was uncomfortable in the skin
06:56I was to change my mindset to stand in front of the world so if I can do that
07:00anything in your imagination can
07:05I
07:05Would love an act like this to be on the Royal Variety performance, so it's a yes for me

18:48Wow.

18:56Wow.
18:56Wow.
18:56I don't get it.
18:59Wow.
19:01I'd like to prove to you now that anybody can do this with the right focus.
19:08Amanda, can you come with me and join Marina on stage, please?
19:20Thank you so much for joining me on stage.
19:22I have a list of a hundred random countries.
19:26So, can you give me a number between one and a hundred?
19:29Ninety-seven.
19:30Scroll down this list.
19:32Find number 97 and memorize the country at that number.
19:37Okay.
19:41Okay.
19:41Thank you, Amanda.
19:44Amanda, now, focus on that country because in a moment, I will touch your forehead just
19:50like that.
19:51And as soon as I do, close your eyes and say the name of the country in your head.
19:58Okay.
19:58But don't say anything out loud.
20:00Okay.
20:02Simon, you have the most difficult job.
20:04You're going to be receiving this thought.
20:06Oh, good.
20:07Can you come and stand here next to me, please?
20:09Yep.
20:11When this happens, I also want you to close your eyes.
20:13Okay.
20:13And put your fingers in your ears in such a way that you can't hear anything.
20:16That's very important.
20:16Then I'm going to touch your forehead here.
20:18Okay.
20:18It's going to be you, your thoughts, and hopefully somebody else's.
20:22Simon, put your fingers in your ears and close your eyes now.
20:24Ready?
20:25Close your eyes.
20:44Simon, tell me, did you get something?
20:46Yes, I had something.
20:47You did?
20:48Yeah.
20:49Amazing.
20:50Can you please write it on this board?
20:56Amanda, for the first time, what was the country you were trying to send to Simon?
21:08Italy.
21:17What?
21:28I was totally puzzled by the whole thing.
21:33You were the eyes of the audience.
21:35You were sure that everything is fair, and I will tell you what will happen in just a moment.
21:39Okay.
21:39In a moment, Amelie will get inside the tank.
21:42Everybody knows that every single banknote has a unique serial number.
21:46And that's exactly what she wants to write down underwater with her lipstick.
21:51The serial number on the bill in your head.
21:55Amelie, are you ready to do this?
22:06Good evening, Britain, Scotland.
22:09We have prepared something very special just for you tonight.
22:12In preparation for this, Amelie started up on the UK.
22:16So let's see how well she's tuned into your culture.
22:19Therefore, she will be blindfolded.
22:22And Stephen, can we have you on stage?
22:24Give it up for Stephen, everybody.
22:27Hey.
22:28Yeah.
22:28Just to me, okay.
22:29You cannot see through it, right?
22:31Nothing at all.
22:32There are no flat screens inside, no loudspeakers.
22:36Nope.
22:37Thank you so much, Stephen.
22:38Very thorough.
22:38Well done.
22:39Give it up for Stephen.
22:40Thank you, Stephen.
22:44I'm going to blindfold you, and if you don't mind, I will join your charges, okay?
22:51Hello.
22:51Hello, everyone.
22:53Penn.
22:53Sir.
22:53I have an envelope for you.
22:55Okay.
22:56We'll leave it in front of you.
22:57We'll need it a little bit later, okay?
22:59And here I have postcards with unique things about the UK.
23:03Can you just read out some, whatever you see?
23:05Those halton scones, Adele.
23:07What do we have here?
23:08Wellington, yeah.
23:09Okay.
23:09You get the idea.
23:10They are all different.
23:11Amanda will start with you.
23:12I go through the postcards.
23:13Just put your finger on one, whatever you like.
23:16This one?
23:16Take it.
23:17Yes, take it.
23:17Hold on to it.
23:19Alicia, same for you.
23:20I go through the cards.
23:21Here, point to a card.
23:21Whatever you like.
23:23Anyone?
23:24This one, please.
23:24This one, sure.
23:25Take your card, okay?
23:27And last but least, David.
23:28Here, any card, whatever you like.
23:30We'll look away.
23:31Just peek at them so you know what's on there.
23:34You know what it is, everybody?
23:36Yes.
23:36So, Amelie, are you ready to go into the minds of the judges?
23:41Yes.
23:45Okay, I'm starting with Amanda.
23:47Amanda.
23:47I want you to think of the choice you made.
23:50Oh.
23:50I get the feeling you're thinking of a landmark.
23:54Yes.
23:55But you're not in London.
23:57You travel outside of London.
23:58Like, I'd say two hours.
24:01And in your mind, you're standing in front of Stonehenge.
24:04Show us the card.
24:06Is it?
24:07Stonehenge!
24:14Let's go on with Alicia.
24:14Okay, let's go on with Alicia.
24:16Alicia.
24:17Yeah.
24:17Okay, let's go on with Alicia.
24:18Okay, let's go on with Alicia.
24:18Your thoughts are very strong.
24:21I do believe it is food, and it's very warm, delicious, and crispy.
24:26Alicia, you're thinking of fish and chips.
24:29I am.
24:31Fishing chips, everyone!
24:36And now to you David
24:40Hi, it's interesting because I do believe you're listening to music
24:44It's the male voice
24:46You're thinking of Ed Sheeran
24:49David, for the first time
24:51I'm thinking of Ed Sheeran
24:52It is Ed Sheeran
24:57Hank, you have been holding on to this envelope the entire time, right?
25:01I'm guarding it with my life
25:03Thank you for doing this
25:04I will take it for the very first time because now
25:08This is going to be interactive with everybody
25:12Here inside is a QR code
25:15The QR code will get you to our profile
25:18And there we posted a reel on October 9th, the day we left Las Vegas
25:23Scan the code and play the video
25:27Hello everybody
25:28We just finished one year here in beautiful Las Vegas
25:31And it was amazing
25:33But now we're off to the UK
25:35I can't wait to see all the sights like Stonehenge
25:39Oh Stonehenge, that's beautiful
25:43I'm already in the mood
25:45That's why I got myself some fish and chips
25:47Yummy
25:50Las Vegas will be back
25:51See you in the United Kingdom
25:54And have a very close look on her shirt
25:56There it is
25:57Ed Sheeran
26:01Thank you
26:02Thank you
26:02Thank you
26:03Thank you
26:08But you know what?
26:11Tonight we'll try the ultimate challenge
26:16You just saw Amelie blindfolded
26:19But now let's totally isolate her
26:22Ladies and gentlemen
26:24for the very first time in the United Kingdom, mind-reading under water.
26:43Have a very close look. A tank filled with 400 gallons of water, 360 degrees around,
26:51nothing below, nothing above. Crystal clear.
26:55And now, we need something from all of you. I need to borrow some cash.
27:00If you have some money, take it out, hold it up high into the air and pen.
27:05You walk into the audience wherever you want to go and borrow us a note.
27:10And now, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back on stage, Amelie Fantas!
27:21So, okay, Ben. It's in your fist, okay?
27:27Yes, it is.
27:27Pen, you are the eyes of the audience. You make sure that everything is fair.
27:31And I will tell you what will happen in just a moment.
27:33Okay.
27:33In a moment, Amelie will get inside the tank.
27:36Everybody knows that every single banknote has a unique serial number.
27:40And that's exactly what she wants to write down under water with her lipstick.
27:45The serial number on the bill in your hand.
27:49Amelie, are you ready to do this?
27:55Hand me the bill.
28:03She's writing down...
28:05Pen, can you read the first two letters?
28:08A-D.
28:09A-D.
28:10Now she's writing down the numbers.
28:12Yes.
28:13Pen, can you do me a favor?
28:16Sure.
28:16Can you confirm that the serial number on your bill is A-D.
28:210-1-5-2-5-7-9?
28:26Yes.
28:27Look what she wrote.
28:28A-D.
28:290-1-5-2-5-7-9!
28:32That's it. That's it right there.
28:35Thank you!
28:36In fact, Andrew and I are so in tune with each other, even though we went shopping separately for today's
28:41audition,
28:42we both ended up buying the same camouflage t-shirts.
28:45Let's show you what we do.
28:48Amanda, I'll take you over your phone on you.
28:50Yes, I do actually.
28:51If you stand here for me.
28:53Amanda, I'd like you to scroll through your contact list and stop on somebody at random.
28:59Okay.
29:00Look at this person's last three digits of their phone number.
29:03Yes.
29:03Once you've got that in your mind, lock the phone and put your phone on the desk.
29:09Just say this person's name over and over again in your mind.
29:12I really hope we get this.
29:14And even though you picked this person, you had a free choice.
29:17Is that right?
29:18Andrew?
29:23Amanda, in a loud, clear voice, what are the three numbers you're thinking of?
29:274-1-5.
29:284-1-5?
29:30That's exactly what I've got.
29:37Of course, Amanda, this is a contact in your phone.
29:44In a loud, clear voice, whose number is this?
29:48My sister, Debbie.
29:49Debbie?
29:53That's what I've got.
29:57Amanda, thank you so much.
29:58Please take a seat.
30:05Simon, please join us on stage.
30:07I'm sure everyone here will give you a really big hand.
30:11Simon!
30:12Yay!
30:14Good luck, Simon!
30:16Love you, Simon!
30:18Go this side of the stage for us.
30:19Thank you, Simon.
30:21Simon, would you hold that, please?
30:22We're going to go on an imaginary journey in your mind.
30:26Oh, don't.
30:26Oh, God, don't go there.
30:28Don't go there.
30:28Don't go there.
30:28Oh, dear.
30:29I'd like you to imagine that you're standing outside a house.
30:32You look at the door and you see a number on the door.
30:35Any number you like, Simon, please write it down.
30:43Just try to say that number over and over again in your mind.
30:48You now go into this imaginary house and you go into a living room.
30:52You look at the wall of the living room and you see a colour painted on the walls.
30:57Please write it down.
31:02Just imagine that colour all around us now.
31:05You're focused on it, right?
31:07You're focused on it, right?
31:07And even though you picked that colour, you could have had anyone.
31:09You now go into the kitchen.
31:11You look over at the wall and you see a celebrity calendar.
31:14It could be anyone you like, Simon.
31:23Now, although you picked this person, that was a free choice.
31:26You know that, right?
31:27You know that.
31:28And even though you picked this person, you had the choice of thousands.
31:33Andrew?
31:34Andrew?
31:39I am getting something.
31:43Simon was asked to imagine he was standing in front of a house.
31:46He imagined a door, he imagined a number.
31:50Simon, you then walked into the house.
31:52You looked at a room that was in a single colour.
31:56Then you're asked to think of a celebrity.
32:00Anyone in the world.
32:03Simon, I believe you're thinking 717.
32:06You're thinking of the colour turquoise.
32:08You're thinking of Sir Roger Moore.
32:11May I?
32:12Ladies and gentlemen.
32:14Exactly the number 717.
32:17He thought of turquoise.
32:19You chose Roger Moore.
32:20Simon, thank you so much.
32:21How did they do that?
32:23So much.
32:23So much.
32:24So much.
32:25Wow.
32:29Many of you may be wondering how we read minds.
32:34What you should be wondering is how we started off this performance wearing camouflage t-shirts
32:40And ended up wearing black.
32:43We are DNA.
32:47How you like me now?
32:49How you like me now?
32:51How you like me now?
32:52How you like me now?
32:52How you like me now?
32:52Wow.
32:53Hey girl.
32:56Oh, my God!
