This Trick Made Simon Believe in REAL MAGIC | Britain's Got Talent

My name is Jamie Raven. Hello, Jamie Raven. Hello. How old are you? I am 31. And where are you from originally from Hammersmith? But I now live that big up. I now live in Ascot with my my wife. Can I ask you what you're doing today? I'm a magician My earliest memory of watching magic was probably about 10 or 11 We were on a family holiday and we were out in a restaurant and I had a magician who came over and he did his Act up. It was amazing. That was it. It would spark something that you know, 20 years later would bring me here today. I Live at home with my wife Ashley She's the best thing that ever happened to me and everything I do everything is for her When we first met we were at the bar and I said, oh, I'll get you a drink and she had a five-pound note So I fold it up and changed it into a 50-pound note and paid for it It was all the money I had in the world. That was one thing that won her over the prospect of yeah 50 pound notes little did she know that that was the only one that she'd see for the next eight years Over the years I've performed in pubs. I've done the clubs. I've done the darkest rooms the loudest rooms You 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 So I just I'm excited and nervous in myself I want to do the best I can do today could change everything to actually do the raw variety as a performer You made it Okay May I come and join you at your table that be okay I'd like to share with you a trick. He uses a 50 pound note one of the largest currency notes available in this country With my sleeves rolled up guys with nothing in my hands. We can get a shot of this on the screen I'm gonna change this 50 pound note into the much rarer Infinitely more valuable Bank of Britain's Got Talent 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 and son for you to keep don't spend it all at once guys I don't want you to feel left out. So I brought along some more cash for you But I know I know deep down you don't really want one of these you'd much rather have one of those What thought I'd finish with a trick using a picture that I've drawn it's a self-portrait, that's me. This is where we are Britain's Got Talent You see most magicians at this point would ask one of you to reach in and take a card I'm not going to do that instead if I may I'm just going to ask each of you one question David if I may start with you, if I could ask you to choose a color red or black Whatever you say is what we will use. What color would you like black? Alicia the black cards are split into two suits. We have the spades We have the clubs again if I could ask you to choose whatever you want is what we will use clubs clubs fantastic Amanda I need you to choose a value for me. What would you like nine nine the nine of clubs? Simon you're the boss I'm gonna give you the chance if you like to stick with the nine of clubs or you can overrule All of the other judges and you can choose any other car that you like What would you like seven of hearts the seven of hearts Okay Guys, there is no way I could know that you would choose the nine of clubs There's no way I would know if you would overruling if you would what you would change to you'll agree I haven't touched these what I didn't tell you is that I've also drawn on the back of Every single other card in this day Do you remember those cartoon flick books where you flick through and the little man comes to life? Check this out You see our magician He takes off his hat he reaches inside he pulls out just one card ladies and gentlemen, not just any card It's the seven of hearts Like some people believe in ghosts I now believe in magic because there's no explanation for that none whatsoever Alicia Oh my goodness, honestly, that is gonna bug us for the rest of the day how you did that You are incredible. I feel like we are witnessing the beginning of something special with you It's not a trick It's real magic. Yeah, he has magical powers Somebody once said to me who I really respect that there are a lot of people who do tricks and there are a few People who actually can do magic and I think we just saw that We're gonna take a boat David, of course, yes Tonight I wanted to start with nothing Hopefully leave you with something an empty box for now nothing Watch carefully Something You see this evening. I wanted each of you to think of a thought that was so random It didn't even come from your own mind So before the show tonight, I asked 52 members of our audience to think of an object and to write that word down You can see they're all different cap jumper plant Clock you get the idea. I need four of these chosen at random Alicia. Could you help me? I need you just to say stop for me wherever you like say stop. Thank you guys I have one for each of you. If you could please have a look at your word. Remember what that is Please don't show me don't show each other. Just remember what it is Hide it away for me David if I may start with you, sir Can I ask what words are you thinking of please? But not the word that's on the car on the car for me if you don't mind I've got to say the word please don't mind goldfish goldfish. May I have a glass of water, please? Thank you May I ask what word you're thinking of, please? Not the word on the car Lisa Sir, sorry, please Alicia, please. Hi, could you cover your hands together for me part of your arms if you could lift up your arms a fraction for me Whatever happens do not move from this piece of paper to make fire from fire we make water from water we make Sorry, may I ask what word you're thinking of, please You want me to tell you please sir? Don't mind Simon. Here's a shoe shoe shoe guys My shoe Amanda that just leaves that just leaves your word. Yes, if you could bear with me just one second Amanda finally for you If you could for the first time just tell me what is the words you're thinking of please on the car This is gonna be interesting helicopter Helicopter Simon and someone as she wrote a helicopter in the audience. Yes. I don't know where they are. Where are they? Could you break your head for me? I don't know. I can't see them. I'm sorry. Okay. Well incredible Thank you Because like the first trip we were absolutely no idea how you did that Don't know where the helicopter came from. It's not short notice It was really really stunning and also really original and and also the way you present these tricks is very special, too I think you're really really talented Absolutely gobsmacked don't know how you did it doesn't matter It was fantastic to watch and you I mean, I thought you're the first time we saw you was incredible But that was even more mesmerizing. I just hope the goldfish for right Yes Honestly, I'm to speech this way. I know it's really difficult to know what to say I mean you are such a lovely genuine gorgeous man, and I just will you on all the way through your act to be absolutely honest I mean helicopter. You're always saying can't you do something bigger? Can't you get a plane? Can't you get a bus and I think tonight you kind of did it you you went large and it worked I Have been interested in magic since I was 11 years old. My absolute favorite has always been slight of hand. I Wanted to end my journey on Britain's Got Talent right back where it began With the very first trick I showed you however Before that there's something much more important that I have to do Thank you, Alicia. I have a gift for you. I am so so sorry for calling you, sir We're so embarrassed that's for you we're going to come back to that in just a moment We met for the first time four months ago almost in London at the audition and on that night You thought of the seven of hearts and I often thought since then If you had have chosen a different card other than the seven of us bearing in mind You can't use the Joker's because we didn't have them then which cards would you have said? seven of diamonds the seven of diamonds That's weird If we can get this on the screen so everybody could see you'll see every single one of these cards is face-up Simon Except one. Would you take that one out for me? What is it? Oh, come on They say you can't put a price on doing what you love for a living but today that opportunity will be afforded to one of the contestants on this stage courtesy of The Bank of Britain's Got Talent and their incredibly generous price of 250,000 pounds Alicia. Could I ask for your autograph? Sure. Do you sign nice and big on both sides? Nice and big on both sides and then if you could hold it up so that the camera can see and the other side as well for Michelle if you could So that we could see I'll get rid of the pen for you Thank you so much. And then if you could show up so long guys, can you see can you see on the screen? Thank you With this note. Thank you and this opportunity. I want to show you that if you work hard Anything is possible guys with my sleeves rolled up with nothing in my hands in just three seconds like someone's life this evening This will change Alicia What does that say in the box Could you open the box Open the book inside. You'll see there's another slightly smaller box Very carefully, so they open up the smaller box. There's a red bag. Could you pass it to me? Thank you guys With nothing in my hands gonna reach inside and pull out Alicia a gift for you Watch closely If we cut inside the lemon you'll see there's nothing in my hands Alicia, there's a Could you take out a note for me? You've gotta be kidding me. Does that have your name on it? Is that your name? Look at all the faces of the judges. I've been shocked. Well done. No, I see how you've done it. Amanda What did you make to that? I? am astounded For me Jamie earlier this week your performance was amazing. You were a little bit nervous You made a few mistakes, but tonight that felt like I mean it felt to me that you could go to Vegas You could do anywhere in the world Simon are you a bit stunned? Well, I am I mean a lesson in life. Don't use a chopper. Get out a lemon Seriously You must be a wizard or something And there's no way that was a real lemon and that ended up in the lemon That magic must be real We heroes judges we had the best view of that and I was watching really really closely because there's nothing actually I like more than trying to catch out a magician I could not see anything. It was absolutely flawless Amazing to witness and this show is getting better and better and you my friend could win this I really think
