I'm a bit intrigued by this guys appearance on this show. I think he's quite well known on the continent, I presume we wouldn't allow Derren Brown to enter BGT? I wonder how many acts are people who previously only performed in their own front room and how many are professionals looking for their big break ?

Anyway wan't that impressed with him, fairly obvious to me he palmed the ring just before putting it "into" the apple.

Yes he clearly did that with the ring and It was a clever illusion although I reckon he cocked it up as the fake arrow seem to shoot off at he wrong angle straight into the audience , the guy looked stunned as he appeared to get the timing completely wrong .

They shot the illusion in the wrong way. We should never have been able to see him press the button that made the apple drop.

He really messed it up I think, look at 02.27

If the arrow was genuine, he would have probably taken out David Walliams

Oh well...

;-D

Love Aaron but he messed up last night.
It also lacked that movie like excitement from his audition.

I hope he'll continue doing TV though. Id love to see him have his own TV show eventually.

Yeah i was all for him going through last night but after re watching it he didn't really deserve it, to many mistakes. I would still like to have seen what his next trick would have been.

Wow, he did mess up didn't he! I was going in and out of the room at the time and completely missed that. Shame though he could have gone further as he's quite original and I did enjoy his act, although the whole no-speaking thing started to be a bit tiresome and I did wonder if the voters would feel that more so and not avoid voting for him.

I had hoped he, the little girl and the acapella group were in the top three. Oh well!

I dunno, If you look at the relative positions of the bottom of the stairs and his turntable, it looks like the split screen camera was virtually behind the target, so he was fairly well lined up when he 'released' it. The extreme close-up of the cloth strip pretty much gave it away though.
