The Best Magicians on Britain’s Got Talent x10

The Best Magicians on Britain’s Got Talent.

 

It was a slow start for magicians on Britain’s Got Talent, Simon Cowell didn’t particularly like magic acts in the early days of until 2011 when David Penn changed the course for magicians on BGT forever. David Penn and Karen Tomkins’s got through to the semi-finals with a stunning water tank illusion. This started the ball rolling until finally a magician won BGT in 2016 Richard Jones.

 

In this blog you will learn who magicians think are the best magic acts to perform on BGT. I took the poll from the Magician Advice Facebook Group in 2020 to find out what the magic community really thought.

 

1, Marc Spellman

 

Coming in at number one on the the best magicians on BGT, Marc Spellman is the clear winner for magicians. With two amazing performances on BGT, both very different Marc is a pure genius when it comes to creating an unique act. Marc was the second ever magician to win the golden buzzer and was a semi-finalist in 2018. Marc then returned as X in 2019 again, this time getting through to the finals. Check out a few performances below.

 

 

2, John Archer

 

The British public saw John Archer perform on Britain’s Got Talent 2019. He made it to the semi-finals with a great lottery prediction magic trick and comedy brilliance. John is a true gentleman we were lucky enough to have John join us on the magicians advice podcast.

No wonder he is number two on the best magicians on Britain’s Got Talent list.

 

 

 

3, Jamie Raven,

 

Coming in number three on the the best magicians on BGT list, Jamie Raven finishing in second place series 9, 2015. Jamie took close up magic tricks that most magicians know and made them into something much bigger. He has since sparked a wave of close up magicians auditioning on BGT. Clocking up over 25 million views on his first audition, one of the best. If you haven’t seen Jamie’s performances and how he made a helicopter appear, take a look below.

 

 

 

 

4, Matt Edwards

 

Number four on the the best magicians on BGT list, Matt Edwards act was one of the funniest acts I’ve ever seen on BGT. Appearing on series 11 he was the first magician to receive the golden buzzer from Ant and Dec. Coming in 4th place with his crazy amazing act.

 

 

 

5, Ben Hart

Ben Hart amazed audiences with his stunning audition in 2019 on series thirteen, where he went on to the semi-finals.

Ben then returned to perform in the champions of BGT. If you haven’t checked the egg trick out then you’re in for a treat. (properly one of my favorite auditions ever)

For me Ben’s act was a true talent that why he is on the the best magicians on BGT list.
