Mesmerising Magic Card Tricks on Got Talent!

Are you guys ready? Ready. So, let's start us off. Could you reach in, Sofia? Touch any card. And we won't look at it. We're just going to set it down for now. Lele, I'm going to go ahead. No cheating. I'm going to go like this. Lele, you say stop whenever you'd like. Stop. Okay, and we'll set that down as well. And then for you, could you use your intuition? I go like this. You say stop when you want. Stop. Right here? No, there. Here? Yeah. Okay, pick it up. That's your card. We're not going to look at it. With the rest of the cards, we could take them, throw them back in the deck. And now, before we get to those, we're going to play a game. Remember I said this was all about intuition? Yeah. So, we're going to play a game using your intuition to try and guess if the cards are red or black. Yeah. So, for example, let's say I go to, I don't know, this card. Lele, black or red? I like red. Red? Wow. One for one. Very good. Okay. And then maybe we go to this card, Sebastian. What do you feel? Red or black? Black. Two for two. Pretty good. Nice, nice. Now, maybe this is lucky. But the idea is to go through the entire deck. Red, black, red, black, red, black. So, what do you want to start with, Sebastian? Red. Red, okay. Just say stop when you'd like. Stop. Right here? Yeah. We set them on red. Lele, let's go for black. Touch wherever you'd like. Here, and grab a few from there. Sure. Like this? Right there, yeah. And just put them on top of the black. Just like so. Now, Sofia, remember you have the amazing intuition. So, you tell me where to deal. You say black, black, red, red, black. Any combination you want. Okay. Black. Red. Black, red. As much as you want. Black, black, black. Red, black. Okay, wait. Let's confuse you a bit now. Let's confuse you a bit. We'll take the cards. What used to be the black pile, now becomes the red pile. What used to be the red pile, now becomes the black pile. So, if you feel it's red, we deal red. If you feel black, we deal black. What do you want to start with? Black. Touch anywhere you'd like. Grab a few. Set them on black. Set them on black, yeah. And what's next? Red. Whatever you want. Take a few and set them on red. And now, Sofia, could you just take the cards right here? Yeah. And deal. Whatever you feel. Red, black, red, black. Black, red. Now look, she's making every decision. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All the way to the last card. All the way up, set it down, whatever. Think about this. You guys made every single decision. Here, we started with a black card. Let's see how we did. One black. Oh my gosh. Two, three, four, five. Every single card is completely black. But then we switched to red. And you guys pulled cards, you dealt cards. Again, let's see how we did. Red, red, red, red, red. Every single thing is red. It's magic. It is magic. And then over here, obviously, we did it in reverse. We didn't start with the black. We started over here with the red. Drew? Red, red, red. Don't tell me. Every single card that you guys chose is completely red. And then we switched to black, which means every card in my hand should be completely black. It's good? Yeah. Oh, it's not completely black. That would have been good, though. That would have been good. But how many is that? That's one, two, three, four. That's four cards out of 52. I mean, that's very good. They only get four wrong. Yes. But sometimes, Sophia, when your intuition is so strong, your subconscious mind takes over. Look, do these numbers mean anything to you? 7, 10, 7, 2? That's the day of my birthday. That's your birthday. So you're telling me the only four cards that we got wrong was your birthday. Oh, my god. Look, I wrote a prediction. You chose the 10 of clubs. This is crazy. Because remember, before all this, before the reds and the blacks, you picked one card, Sophia. Can you see if it is, in fact, the 10 of clubs? It'd be good, right? Yeah, have a look. Wow. It's not bad? That's crazy. But what's your birthday? June 25, 1996. So 6, 2, 5, 9, 6. That's five digits. But we only have four cards here. Look, with a little shake, we now have five cards. And these should be exactly your birthday, June 25, 1996. What? It's crazy. But what's even crazier is if the faces of the cards change, then maybe the prediction changed. You chose the 9 of spades. And hopefully, you do, in fact, have the 9 of spades. Let's see. A 2 of. Oh, we were close, though, because it's like 2 and 9. No, no, I think I know what happened. Maybe you picked the 9 of spades. Nothing. Sometimes when they print cards, they forget to print. So we just go like this. Look, 9 of spades. See that? So now we have the 9 of spades. Oh, true. It was good? Yeah, I guess. But you guys aren't buying it. So you just take the 9. You give it a shake. And now we actually get the 9 of spades. But this still leaves us wondering what happened here with the 2. Yeah. Look, do me a favor. Feel that. Do you feel anything in there? Look, turn it like this. Turn it like this. And rip it down the middle. Rip it down the middle? Yeah, rip it. Rip it all the way. And look, see, did we get anything? Look, if we really open that up, if we really rip that card off, look. One card is inside the 9 of spades. It's a tiny little card. Very good intuition. What? Oh my god. Wow. Amazing, Cameron. That freaks me out, too. That's crazy. Well, appreciate it, guys. Thank you. Very good intuition. Amazing intuition. I love this. So here's a paperclip. You're going to do me a huge favor. All I want you to do is say stop. Stop. OK, I'm going to cut the cards. Whatever this is, we're not going to look at it. This gets folded up, and it gets placed in this paperclip right here. Mel B, this is going to go in front of you. When I was a kid, I was fascinated by counting cards. This isn't 100%, but hopefully you're going to notice a pattern here. We're going to shoot one out, and hopefully it'll look familiar. Ooh, look, see, there's an ace. I tell you what, all I need you to do is pull one out. You want me to pull one out? Yeah, you're going to pull a card out. So you're going to reach in there and just pull one out. You got it? Yep. Oh, yeah, show everybody what it is. Watch. Watch, this is going to be sick. It's going to be a two. Oh. Was that bad? No, that's OK. Watch the eight. It's a shake. Watch the eight. See, it's a shake, and we can get the two out. See what I mean? See what we did there? You know what I'm saying? Number one trick by a comedy magician is pull it out of your, so look, there's a three. Hopefully we can shoot one out of the center. Look, there's a four right there. So Mel, all I need you to do is just yell out stop. Watch riffle. Go. Stop. OK, take that card right there. If that's the five, that's sick. Check it out. See if we got it. That's sick. Oh my god. So right now, I think the six is 38 cards from the top, so we're going to kind of shoot one out here. Boom, look. Look, there's a six. Simon, do me a favor. If you watch the 10 here, we can just cover it. See, there's the seven. Howie, you ready? I am ready. OK, say stop. Stop. OK, we need the eight. What do we got? Show it right here. We need the eight for the crowd. Show them. Oh. There it is. Clock before we started. See, there's the nine right there. Now watch. We're going to cut these up like this, and hopefully we can find the 10, the jack, the queen, and the king. Oh my god. So Simon, do me a favor. Think of any cards you want to. Don't name it out loud yet, OK? This is going to be unbelievable. You got it? Yeah. Watch this. We're going to shuffle these up. Simon, name the card you're thinking of right now. Three of clubs. I did this because I thought I would go through here and not just shuffle all the cards, but take all of them and shuffle all those clubs back in order like that. No. Had you said hearts, I said, what the heck? Why don't we shuffle all the hearts in order? Had you said spades, we would have actually shuffled all the spades in order just like that. Before we started, we folded a card. We put it in a paper clip. We didn't look at it. The card you thought of, the three of clubs, right there for Simon. Today, I will show you guys a card trick. I practiced this for a long time. First effect is finding four aces. Watch carefully. Oh, the first ace is here. Do you see this arrow card? This arrow card will help me whenever I make a mistake. OK. Next, second, and third, the last ace of spades. From now, I will put this arrow card in my pocket right here. Everyone can see it. Anyway, I got four aces. And Simon, please shuffle the card. Oh, thank you. Can I take anyone? No, no, no, just only for shuffle. Yeah. Thank you so much. And now, Amanda, please touch any card. This card. Show it to everyone. And I brought something. This is a wallet. Empty wallet. I'm broke. Watch. I got ace of diamond, club, heart. Oh, you picked the ace of spades, right? Yeah. Can I get this? You picked the ace of spades. I will find all spades from the deck. Watch. Ace, two, three, four. And five is here. Six. And seven, eight. That is all I can do. So I use this arrow card to find the nine of spades. And next. Oh. Thank you. The other aces in my wallet. And put it away. And again, I will put this arrow card in my pocket right here. No switch, no switch. Three more to go. One, two, three. And I hope this is jack, queen, king. Uh-oh. I think this card is jack of spades. Ace. Another ace. Of course. Jack of spades. Queen of spades. Lost. What? Yes, there we go. I found it. Ladies and gentlemen, judges, Simon. Hello. Thank you for having me back this evening. However, tonight, I did not come empty-handed. I didn't think you would. Oh, great. Take this back. Just an empty box. Besides this, of course. I'm only joking, Simon. I'm only joking. No, you're not. Actually, this evening, with all of your permission, I would love to take a photograph of all you lovely judges to remember our last encounter by. Yeah, may I? Actually, Amanda, can I use your phone? Yeah, yeah. Sure. Be careful, Amanda. Let me just check. Truly, you all look smashing this evening. Do you just need the camera? Just the camera. Okay. All right, y'all, squeeze in nice and tight. One, two, three. But without further ado, let's get this party started. Oh, yes. Ant, Dec, my goodness, gentlemen, don't you clean up nice. Go ahead and join me on the stage. Hello, hello. Ant, during my audition round, you had said that if I duct taped all the judges' mouths shut, it would just make your day. It absolutely would, yes. Thanks, Ant. I'll be changed. However, tonight, we are going to make mine. Oh. I actually had something in mind for you as well this evening. You're going to be needing this. Can you see anything? I don't care. Now, for the fun part. One, you're happy with this? Go ahead. Show the audience. And when you're ready, place the card back in the deck. Yes. Thank you. Ant, do a girl a favor, would you? Put your hand out for me. I am going to place this severed card face down in your rather sweaty palm. If you wouldn't mind, go ahead and focus on that card for me. Are you focusing on the card? I'm going to go ahead and seal it with a kiss. Flip the card, Ant. Reveal my mark. Now, Jack, we wouldn't want you to miss out on all the fun. Two, three kisses on the deck straight from. Hang on a minute. Ant, I can't help but notice you've been awfully quiet over here. Did you have something to say, maybe? Amanda, your phone. We took a photograph earlier. Yes. Let's have a look, shall we? Is that the one? Allow me. I'm going to go ahead and zoom in there real tight. And if you notice, this evening, it seems it is entirely filled with the three of hearts. May I come and join you at your table? Would that be okay? I'd like to share with you a trick. It 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 going to change this 50-pound note into the much rarer, infinitely more valuable Bank of Britain's Got Talent 50-pound note. You can see we've got our head of state, Mr. Simon Cowell. We've got our beautiful princesses, of course, our queen, Simon, 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 deep down you don't really want one of these. You'd much rather have one of those. Bank of Britain's Got Talent. One for each of you to keep. Oh, I love that. Thank you very much. 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 colour, red or black, whatever you say is what we will use. What colour 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. The nine of clubs. Simon, you're the boss. I'm going to 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 card 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 overrule, and 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 deck. 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. Magic is all about mystery, and this right here is what we consider to be the biggest mystery of all. David. Hello. You have a part in this mystery, and your part is to choose a playing card. First of all, all the cards are different. I'm gonna place a rubber band around the cards like this. All I want you to do is open up wherever you like like this. Place the card in your hand. Oh, hello. We've missed you. So just place your hand out for me. And then look at the card you've chosen. Have you got it? Yes. Thank you. Alicia. Hi. Over here, I have a pack of cards. You can see all of the cards are completely different. You're going to cut the cards to wherever you would like into the pack. Okay. Have a look at the card that you've just cut to, just on the bottom, and place the cards back. Thank you. Amanda, I too have a deck of cards here. And as I drop cards to the table, all I'd like you to do is just call the word stop for me any way you like. Stop. This next card is going to be yours. Please show everybody, but don't let me see. Finally, Simon, as I run my finger down the side of the deck, I'd also like you to tell me stop. Stop. Right here, yeah? Yeah. So Simon, the exact position you told me stop at was in fact on the seven of clubs. Now, I'll leave the seven down there, but before we go any further, you could have stopped me on any one of the cards, correct? Yeah. Lovely. David. Yes. Just a moment ago, you randomly selected one of these cards. Correct. But I thought, wouldn't it be cool if I could make your card fade away? You look a little bit confused. I am generally. But I'm not just going to make one card fade away. I'm going to make 51 cards fade away, leaving only one card that still exists. David, for the first time, please say your card out loud. The two of diamonds. Ladies and gentlemen, the two of diamonds. Alicia, I knew exactly what card you were going to choose. Really? You see, no other card has a message except for this one. For the first time, what is the card that you're thinking of? Seven of diamonds. The seven of diamonds. Every time that I do this, people tend to think that I'm using sleight of hand. What I'm going to do is place all of the cards inside of the box, and there's no way I can manipulate anything here aside from the card on the table. So if you have that card firmly in your mind, I'm going to take it back from you. Bearing in mind I haven't seen it, I'm going to slide it amongst the other 51 cards inside the pack, and then seal it up. I'm going to place all of the cards into your palm, and one by one by one, I want you to picture them start to leave the box. In fact, you should be able to feel the box becoming lighter and lighter and lighter, until it feels as if there could only be one card in there. Amanda, what would you do if I told you that this wasn't just your imagination, and there genuinely was only one card with every other single card now having left the box? Amanda, you have one card in your mind. Would you please announce it out loud? It was the king of clubs. Looks like we have a perfect match. Now, Simon, before any of this began, James mentioned a mystery. The mystery is in fact a sealed deck of cards within a glass bottle. You'll notice one difference between the deck in the bottle and the deck we've been using here tonight, and that is the cards in the bottle have a gold back. The cards we've been using over here tonight are red back. But watch closely, guys, because you're not going to believe this. All right. Simon, if I'm now holding the seven of clubs, but that comes from that deck, then where is the card you've just selected from this deck actually gone? Well, it can't have gone from there to there, can it? James? We have no idea genuinely how this deck of cards got inside the bottle, but we know that there is only one way to get it out. David, watch out. Be careful. And as you can all see, the deck is wrapped in cellophane, and it is completely sealed. Every single card is present, including the jokers. Now, guys, you can see the deck is in perfect order. Every single card from ace through to king being in the right place. The deck is perfect in every way, apart from one. Come on. Now, everyone in here is thinking the same thing. Can that possibly be your card? No. Simon, for the first time, can you slide the card towards yourself? And if that is your card, the seven of clubs, can you please hold it high above your head for everyone to see? It is. This was always meant to be. In actual fact, Simon, you chose the seven of clubs. Amanda, you chose the king of clubs. Alicia, you chose the seven of diamonds. And David, you chose the two of diamonds. So, Louis, I'm going to start with yourself. Louis, I want to show you a card trick that doesn't actually use any cards. Just this. I want you to check this out as closely as you can. Watch. Hey. That's a souvenir for you. That's cool. Thank you, James. Michelle, what I'd like you to do, it's quite simple, I'd like you to pick out a card for me, okay? It doesn't matter if I see this card or seen this trick before, okay? So, what I'd like you to do is just take out any card you'd like and just slide it towards yourself. That's perfect, so we can all see it. Queen of spades, perfect. So, what I want you to do is I want you to write your name as big as you can across the card there. You can write your credit card details as well. Like this one? Across the white card there. That's perfect. So, this way we know there's no cheating. I'm not using any duplicates or anything like that. That is the only card like that in the world with Michelle's name. Is that fair enough? Yeah. Perfect, okay, that's great. Now, Michelle, that's the only card like that in the world. I'm going to get you to push it into the middle for me. So, just push it all the way in there. That's brilliant. Now, Jason, I know you're a bit of a trickster, you probably don't trust me, so I'm going to try this on yourself. I'm going to give the cards a good mix. If you wouldn't mind just holding out your hand flat for me for a moment, okay, that's perfect. Now, we all know that that's obviously not Michelle's card, it's the queen of diamonds. But if I was to take the queen of diamonds, if I was to just wave it over your hand, the heat from your hand actually changes the ink, it melts it and makes it look like... ..that queen of spades, Michelle's name on it. Which is quite strange, not too bad. Now, Denise, earlier on, I actually made a prediction. Now, it's fair to say, none of us, especially you, Michelle, we haven't sent anything up beforehand, I haven't asked you to write your name on loads of queen of spades or anything like that. Inside my pocket here, I've had a prediction the entire time. Now, inside my wallet, there's actually a zipper compartment. This has been closed the entire time. Inside the zipper compartment, there's actually a card. Denise, if you can verify this for me, it's the queen of spades. What I don't understand is how Michelle... Hey! ..got her name on that card there. I don't know that one. I've no idea how that works either. Jason, I'd like to finish with you, if you'd just hold out both your hands flat again for me. Don't hit me in the face. I won't, don't worry. Can I drink instead? Yeah, I'll do it. Oh, no, she will! Don't worry. That's perfect. If you could put your other hand on top of the deck for me and just cover it just like that, that's brilliant. Now, at the start of this, I said to you guys, I was going to show you a trick with no cards. No cards, no ink, nothing. Uh-oh. Watch this. Squeeze as tight as you can. Squeeze what? Your hands. The cards! Watch this. One... Two... Very slowly... Yeah. ..lift up your hand, Jason. OK. And you'll see that the deck has actually changed... ..into a solid.
