It's called an illusion. He managed to shock/surprise, call it what you will, but he managed it, all because he has mastered the art of illusion. Were it not for the facility to freeze frame or show footage in slow motion, none of us would be any the wiser.

Jamie Raven was alright but definitely not the best magician they've had on the show. He's no Darcy Oake and I was shocked he somehow managed to come 2nd.

The only way he shocked or surprised me was coming second!!

Just like there didnt seem to recognize a plastic half-prop helicopter in the semi finals
