More talented acts tried to impress judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli tonight (May 25) on Britain's Got Talent (BGT).
This included Magicians Assemble, made up of former BGT stars Ben Hart, Colin Cloud and Elizabeth The Haunting, who claimed they had arrived from the future.
Finishing each other’s sentences, the trio told the judges and audience in Manchester that they “found a journal” where they can enter “someone’s memory” during the episode.
They then performed tricks such as turning liquid into sand, before the substance began streaming on to the stage – and teenage magician and 2020 BGT finalist Aidan McCann was pulled through to join the other illusionists.

Aidan shaved Ben’s hair off before the audience, and the number that was revealed was the same as the one the judges had made during dice earlier.
Inviting Cowell on stage was Colin, who reassured him he was “completely safe” as he put a blindfold on him.
Ben then threw a sandglass and Simon was gone with bits of confetti paper streams left in his place.
Holden and Tonioli asked “where is Simon?” before Cowell’s voice was heard posing a similar question, and Sunday’s episode was teased as a cliffhanger.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
