I would have liked to see the Ruby Red group so better, they were so inspiring to women, fair play to them!

Also surprised the rollar skaters didn't do better, they were brilliant!

And the dog!

Wouldn't have put the choir or the dance group in the final 3!!

mikeym

The whole of Wales voted for the choir.

Its not the first time a Welsh choir have been on it and reached the finals.

I'm bored with the dance groups and choirs.
Oh and I was so irritated last night by the miming going on.

I'm aware it was intentional, but that bit when the Entity Allstars were acting out Harry Potter and that girl mimed "Hang on, where's Harry?", I just cringed.
Same when those oul ones in the Ruby Red Performers mimed to a song.
It's just unnecessary.

I thought Andrew Fleming could have been good, but his act was weak last night.

Haven't watched the series at all, but WTF is with doing the results in full reverse order. Fairly shítty to do that.

What was the deal with the Austrain magician and the half body walking round the stage?

His first trick in audition was a pound shop card trick. I posted it up on first couple of pages how he done it on a video. It was obvious also that someone like Simon would have seen that first trick lots of times I imagine yet he "acted" dumbfounded.

This second semi final act is also sure to have an explanation and tbh, you could see by the muted, almost underwhelmed reaction by the audience/judges that it isn't anything special. There is no way the judges would have missed a helicopter model knocking about backstage anyway.

Still got the most votes though :P

Just watched that 'magic' trick there...not impressed. Why did he have a big question mark over the sheet when we all knew a helicopter would appear behind it? I don't think he thought it through very well, that would explain the muted response.

Ha, it was hilarious when Simon called him out on it........................

"Who wrote helicopter"

No reply from audience!

"Eh, I can't see them but someone did....."

Yeah, mate you did.

he could at least have planted someone into the audience to claim it was them if one of the judges asked!

Ridiculous that he got through. Just an over elaborate party trick!!

United Chester Men

Actually, just thinking about it that was very sly by Simon. It is clear he wanted the dance troupe and the foreign light show guys to go through but he also knew the magician would be very popular so tied to call him out and make the trick look bad. There is no way Simon Cowell wouldn't of known what the contestants were going to be doing and he would have figured out (maybe with the presence of a helicopter backstage!!) how the trick would go yet he pretended to be ignorant, not impressed and tried to make a fool of the magician. Shows how ruthless he is in order to get his own way.

aaaaaaaahhhhhh

Suppose it shows that as ruthless as he is, they dont mess with the public vote

well that was clearly manipulation of the highest order. He would never have called out his beloved Darcy Oakes over a trick because he knew he was a very marketable magician whereas this guy is doing bog standard tricks and he is very boring otherwise.......... ie he isn't a showman. They shouldn't be applauded for not messing with public vote anyway! Thats corruption!

mikeym

I didnt like the magic act.

And he won :eek:

In defense of the magician.

trying to pull off something spectacular in 3 mins is going to be hard. For most people basic tricks are as impressive as the elaborate longer ones - which would be hard to pull off in 3mins

Even the more famous magicians use tricks that are very simple and bland once you know how they are done. His problem last night was that it all looked too procedural - and even the judges were confused as to what to do. As a result it did look very much that the cards were planted. A better card selection process would have worked better.

He does need to up his stage presence and maybe bring on an assistant or some better music / fireworks etc.

Jesus Horatio Christ, is BGT really still being watched by over nine million people??!?!?!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

I nonetheless feel that the show has had its day. IMHO, it reached its zenith when Ashleigh and Pudsey won in 2012.

You don't need music, fireworks or an assistant to be a good magician, in fact the better a magician you are the less of these subsidary "props" you require. I agree, though, three minutes is a short time to pull off a lot of tricks but what he done last night was a very simple trick with an over the top ending which actually messed up the trick if anything. That is when the audience were like , "oh come on..."!! If you look at it again the helicopter could be seen 20 seconds or so before its "big reveal" behind the sheet and it was clearly going to be a helicopter regardless!! You could also see the shoe on the ground ready to be picked up so that wasn't a big shock!

He was a nervous wreck which is a complete faux pas for any magician. He just seems like the nerdy magician that practices at home but never plays in front of big acts. He fumbled the cards, he mesed up his dialogue..............."What word are you thinking..... i mean what word on the card".......
Then he called Alicia "Sir"!!!!

He was, in my opinion very underwhelming!!

Cowell knew he would get a big vote despite being very very amateur so called him out on it but he still got through.

United Chester Men

And the patronising "I have no idea how you did that............ I was gobsmacked" responses from the judges when they obviously know how he did both it and the previous audition act is just awkward and annoying!

United Chester Men

However if he could make Amanda Holden's face move I would hail him as the best magician ever!

Will she have the chesticles on show again tonight? Kinda getting bored with them at this stage, sometimes less is more.
