Britain’s Got Talent viewers furious after exposing magician’s trick as ‘dubbed’Add us as a preferred source on Google »

They think they've worked the entire thing out...

It's the Britain's Got Talent semi-finals this week and if you were watching last night you'll probably have been blown away by 46-year-old magician Marc Spelmann. In his routine, he regurgitated aspects of his first audition, in which he used a video of his daughter as part of his trick. Watch it here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gR0XvajmaMY As part of his performance, Marc made the judges pick pages from books corresponding to inspirational quotes. Alesha Dixon read out Gandhi's name - only for Marc's daughter to then also say Gandhi in the pre-recorded video. Marc then turned around a painting and it showed Gandhi's image. Later on, he also transformed the painting to show John Lennon after Amanda Holden said his name. Wowza, or what? Simon said: "I have to find a different word for this other than this for magic, because magic feels too small." Amanda added: "That was extraordinary. I do find myself watching the videos of your gorgeous girls than paying attention to your act. "For me I thought it was very good but it didn’t have the same emotional pull as your first act." But viewers accused him of 'dubbing' the video - claiming that his daughter had actually said the word 'daddy' and not the name of the Indian leader in the first part of the trick. https://twitter.com/Road2Navagio/status/1001903382389542913 https://twitter.com/lisatweet1/status/1001902918931505152?tfw_creator=MirrorTV&tfw_site=MirrorTV&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mirror.co.uk%2Ftv%2Ftv-news%2Fbritains-talent-viewers-expose-magicians-12624191 https://twitter.com/GodHoles/status/1001902737527836672 https://twitter.com/sambates97/status/1002075406084792321
