Rafferty Coope wins KSI's GOLDEN BUZZER for MAGICAL act! | Auditions | BGT 2026

Hey, what's your name? I'm Rafferty Coop. Rafferty Coop. Yeah, it's a tongue twister. Okay, uh, who'd you come with? I've come with my whole family, which they're supporting me. How old are you? I'm 16 years old. Yeah, I'm six foot four though. What? That's greedy, man. Share it around to the rest of us. Rafferty, do people ask you to get things from the tops of shelves? Yeah, that's my job. Yeah. So do you think you could win the whole show? Um, I mean, I would like to hope so. Okay. Um, but no, I guess that's why I'm here. Some confidence. Yes. Yes. That's it. What are you going to do for us today? I'm going to be showing you my two passions in life, which are music and magic. Nice. Okay, let's do it. I believe that there's magic in music. Want a bite? Yeah, go on, man. Yeah, it's yours. Thank you. Simon. Yes. Just like you, I love music. He's talking to Simon Cowell. And I listen to it all the time through these things. Music isn't just in here. It's everywhere. Sounds incredible because it can pass through solid objects, but we can't see it happening. But imagine if we could. Simon, can you place out your left hand for me? Face up and keep it nice and strong. If we could see sound passing through a solid object, I think it would look something like this. Now do you see why I find sound so cool? It's good. I like this music and magic. Whenever we're down, music is always the thing that can pick us up. And sometimes it can lift more than just our mood. See, that's the magic of music. That was very good. Alicia, as you know, rhythm is everything. It really is. My first instrument was the mighty egg shaker. Have a go. Ready? Well, how long have you been playing? Since I was born. Rhythm brings a tune to life. It's the heartbeat. Without it, it's nothing. How did you do that? Simon, can you pass that glass to me? Well, that broke the silence. KSI, I've got a deck of cards here. They're all different, right? Yes. And on the back, I've written different letters. Can you please lift off any way you want? Any? Any way you want. Oh, yeah. Thank you. And pick up that pile and deal several cards onto the table. This? That's perfect. That's perfect. Now, I don't want to touch the cards. Yes. But we're going to put them in order from smallest to largest. Okay. Oh, I like this game. But there's two tens. Oh, yeah. Actually, separate. Okay. Now, I told you all that I believe there's magic in music. And tonight, I'd like to prove it to you. You see, I see cards like notes on a piano. There are 13 cards in a suit and 13 notes in an octave. I've labeled some keys here. KSI, we're going to use your randomly selected playing cards to play a melody. This is going to sound awful. Can you please just read out the value of the card? Ace. Ace. Three. Three. Five. Five. Eight. Eight. Ten. Ten. Queen. Queen. Ten. Ten. Okay. One more time. A bit faster. Okay. Ace. Three. Five. Eight. Ten. Queen. Ten. Sounds a bit random, but listen. Ace. Three. Five. Eight. Gurney. Ten. Queen. Ten. He's very good. That's right. Don't stop believing. Believe. KSI, remember there are letters in the back of those cards. Could you turn them over one at a time? No. Left and right. Wait. Oh. Was incredible. It was just, it was so good. What a lovely boy. You've done a great job. I could see how much all of it meant to you. We've never seen anything like that, so well done. Really good. Very good. Thank you so much, ma'am. Thank you. Honestly, you're 16 years old and you're a bright light. Your showmanship is spectacular and there's something very charming about you. Seriously spectacular. Take this moment. Enjoy it with your family. I'm going to clean this up. Oh my God. How'd you feel? It's been a dream since five years old. You just made his dream come true. Thank you.
