‘How’s he doing that?’ asks BGT host Ant McPartlin as magician leaves judges stunned with mesmerising audition
A MAGICIAN left the Britain’s Got Talent’s judges stunned with a mesmerising audition.
Eden Choi, 24, hopes to impress Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli in a first-look of tonight’s episode.
In a surprise opening, a curtain lifted to reveal Eden standing on stage.
He then held up a red apple, took a bite and appeared to move it downwards using his mind.
Smoke billowed from Eden’s mouth while a playing card suddenly appeared in his hands.
The magician produced a seemingly endless flow of cards from his hands as they fell around him.
Stood backstage, a stunned Ant McPartlin asked: “How’s he doing that?”
In his next trick, the audience watched as Eden used a small, white, circular ball.
He seamlessly moved between holding the white ball, a red ball and a green ball.
Meanwhile, Eden returned to playing cards in the final moments of his audition.
One particularly impressive feat showed “diamonds” on a Four of Diamonds card seemingly change position.
The judges looked visibly amazed throughout and rose to their feet as Eden took a bow.
One YouTube viewer wrote: “That magic act was pure showmanship absolutely mesmerizing and truly magical!”
Another added: “This guy makes magic even cooler with the music and choreography.”
While a third penned: “Wow… Such a stunning performance.
Britain's Got Talent Judges
The ITV talent show wouldn't be the same without the four charismatic judges who put the contestants through their paces.
Simon Cowell is the staple of Britain’s Got Talent and resumes his role as head judge. The mogul is one of the most iconic figures in music and is responsible for offsetting the careers of many performers around the world.
Amanda Holden has been a judge on Britain’s Got Talent since it first started in 2007. The sexy star is a firm fixture on the judging panel, which has helped her to become a household name.
Alesha Dixon is back to judge the new series of Britain’s Got Talent. The TV star joined the panel back in 2012 and quickly became a fan favourite.
Bruno Tonioli makes up the fab four. After leaving Strictly, he decided to move over to ITV and is the newest BGT judge after replacing David Walliams.
“He is charm and charismatic. Sensational.”
A fourth remarked: “Never seen anything like it. In my opinion he is the winner of BGT this year.
“This was the best magic trick i have ever seen.”
Britain’s Got Talent continues on ITV1 and ITVX.
