BRITAIN’S Got Talent viewers were left convinced that magician Colin Cloud’s act was secretly aided by members of the audience.
Soon after Colin, 35, appeared on BGT’s Ultimate Magician special, viewers were suspicious that his act was not legitimate.
Britain’s Got Talent magician Colin Cloud
Viewer thought they had figured out how he did his trick
Choosing members of the audience to think about certain words and celebrities, Colin was able to think of the participant’s words without hesitation.
But it was clearly too good to be true for some viewers. One took to Twitter and said: “The judges and audience are great actors to support the magic acts.”
While another said: “Most obvious plants ever.”
But it didn’t stop there. Another said: “All 3 people in the audience are working with him.”
Colin first shot to fame when he appeared on series 12 of America’s Got Talent.
And his performances were not lost on stand in judge Penn.
Penn, who was one half of magician duo Penn & Teller, even admitted that his wife was a huge fan of Colin and had been to see him five or six times.
Ten acts from past BGT series competed for being crowned the Ultimate Magician with a £50,000 prize fund.
But it was Eric Chien that was named winner of this year’s special show.
The top three had been made up of Eric, The Witch and Magic Bones, with The Witch finishing in third place.
They thought the audience members he chose were planted there on purpose
