01:07David you're gonna choose one
01:09But without looking just grab one at random hold it in your hand David, but don't look at it. Keep it hidden
01:17Alicia
01:18These cards belong to my daughter. It's important to see that all the cards are different
01:23Yeah, I'm gonna ask you to just touch the back of anyone
01:26It doesn't matter which but what is very very important is that I don't do any sleight of hand
01:31So I'll spread the cards like this point to anyone that you like
01:35Wow right down in

02:20Stop Simon. I'm gonna hold the book above your pen Amanda. Can you say the word stop as I do this?

36:31Good david. I just don't get why you're not already a comedy superstar because that was hilarious
36:38Oh
36:40I mean for me this feels a complete fit with britain's got talent. It's full of variety. It's comedy
36:45It's sort of tommy cooper-esque. Everybody loved him and I think everybody's gonna love you. It was amazing
36:53I agree
36:55I mean, I mean this is a compliment mandy. You are the best witch honestly we have ever had
37:00And I genuinely mean that yeah, and the fact that you laid a melon

37:10Okay, we're gonna vote david i'm gonna say yes alicia i'm saying yes
37:15Mandy, it's a yes from mandy. We have four yeses
37:29Hello
37:30What's your name? My name is jamie raven. Hello. Jamie raven. Hello. How old are you? I am 31
37:36And where are you from? Uh originally from hammersmith, but I now live
37:39Big up. I now live in uh, ascot, uh with my my wife. Can I ask you what you're doing today? I'm a magician
37:48My earliest memory of watching magic was probably about 10 or 11
37:52We were on a family holiday and we were out in a restaurant and I had a magician who came over and he did his
37:57His act I thought was amazing. That was it and it would spark something that you know, 20 years later would bring me here today
38:03I live at home with my wife ashley
38:06She's the best thing that ever happened to me and everything I do everything is for her
38:12When we first met we were at the bar and I said i'll get you a drink and she had a five pound note
38:17So I folded it up and changed it into a 50 pound note and paid for it
38:21And it was all the money I had in the world
38:23That was one thing that that won her over the prospect of yeah 50 pound notes
38:27Little did she know that that was the only one that she'd see for the next eight years
38:32Over the years i've performed in pubs i've done clubs i've done the darkest rooms the loudest rooms
38:38You know, it's it is a slog. I just want them to see the decades basically of practice and what I know I can do
38:45So I just i'm excited and nervous in myself. I want to do the best that I can do today
38:50Could change everything to actually do the raw variety as a performer you made it
38:59Okay
39:02May I come and join you at your table that'd be okay
39:05I'd like to share with you a trick. It uses a 50 pound note
39:10One of the largest currency notes available in this country
39:14With my sleeves rolled up guys with nothing in my hands. We can get a shot of this on the screen
39:19I'm going to change this 50 pound note into the much rarer
39:23infinitely more valuable
39:25bank of britain's got talent
39:2750 pound note
39:30Now you can see we've got we've got our head of state. Mr. Simon cowell, we've got our beautiful princesses, of course our queen
39:37For you to keep
39:38Don't spend it all at once guys. I don't want you to feel left out
39:41So I brought along some more cash for you, but I know
39:43I know deep down
39:45You don't really want one of these you'd much rather have
39:49One of those bank of britain's got talent
39:53One for each of you
39:57What
39:58Thought i'd finish with a trick using a picture that i've drawn. Um, it's a self-portrait. That's me. This is where we are
40:06Britain's got talent
40:07You see most magicians at this point would ask one of you to reach in and take a card
40:10I'm not going to do that instead if I may i'm just going to ask each of you one question
40:15David if I may start with you
40:17If I could ask you to choose a color red or black, whatever you say is what we will use
40:21What color would you like black black alicia? The black cards are split into two suits. We have the spades
40:27We have the clubs again if I could ask you to choose whatever you want is what we will use
40:31Clubs clubs fantastic amanda. I need you to choose a value for me
40:34What would you like nine nine the nine of clubs simon? You're the boss
40:38i'm going to give you the chance if you like to stick with the nine of clubs or you can overrule
40:43all of the other judges and you can choose
40:45Any other car that you like
40:49What would you like seven of hearts the seven of hearts
40:53Okay
40:54Guys, there is no way I could know that you would choose the nine of clubs
40:58There's no way I would know if you would overrule and if you would what you would change to
41:01You'll agree. I haven't touched these what I didn't tell you is that i've also drawn on the back
41:07of every single other card
41:09in this day
41:10Do you remember those cartoon flick books where you flick through and the little man comes to life
41:16Check this out
41:17You see our magician
41:19He takes off his hat. He reaches inside
41:22He pulls out just one card ladies and gentlemen, not just any card. It's the seven of hearts
41:38Thank you for watching
41:41So
