Looks like he may have been inspired by the trick from AGT http://www.tellymix.co.uk/reality-tv...ot-talent.html

But so what if a magician is inspired by other performers.


Singers on BGT, (and XF), do it all the time and no one criticises them for "copying".

Exactly. Lots of magicians do the same tricks or variations of the same tricks.

Since when has being a magician been any kind of an advantage on BGT? A world dominated by singers and dancers,
Jamie Raven came close to winning last year in a final that was full of singers and dancers.

Yep - same old same old, which is why I didn't really enjoy his act - just too predictable.

I guess there's only so many basic trucks.

The Mirror are patting themselves on the back for "exposing" him ..

The thing is, if you are a normal intelligent person you know that it's sleight of hand, do the Mirror really need to tell us it's not actual magic?

Doing a trick you can buy on Amazon for less than a tenner as well.

Shame he is getting bad press now, I think the bosses knew he would steal the win from Beau.

He is one of my favourites along with Beau and hopefully if Jasmine makes the final tonight then all 3 will be my favourites.

I like him and Beau and I like Jasmine and if Jasmine makes the final tonight I don't mind who wins out of Beau, Jasmine and Richard but I really hope one of them win.

Seemingly they do. I'm assuming they must think that we think he's Gandalf and that Lord of the Rings was real ..

And that, of course, sums up the majority of singers and dancers!

Like Walliams too, of course!
