Britain’s Got Talent viewers are certain they have worked out the moment a contestant revealed her magic trick. The ITV competition series saw Alexandra Burgio perform a spellbinding act involving panellist Simon Cowell . The magician kicked off her act by tapping her mouth closed, then did the same to the 67-year-old .
Then, the magician gave the 67-year-old a laser pen to choose a card. Fellow panellists Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon encouraged this, chanting, "Go on, girl." Alexandra then turned over to reveal the word Fierce.
The Canadian then pulled the masking tape off The X Factor ’s boss’s mouth, revealing the same word underneath. The studio audience was impressed by the trick and burst into applause, along with fellow judge Amanda Holden , who gushed: “Wow.” The trick involved cards on a board, but some viewers think they spotted how she did it.
One viewer posted: "All that build up to a simple card switch,” as another agreed: "Just saw the switch there.” A third added: "They cutaway from the close up when she did the card switch on the first trick." One explained the trick further: “The card to the left next to the card under the card Simon picked appears to have two cards together.
You can see the edge of the 2nd card there. “If you freeze the video, you can see that there are other cards with what appears to show two cards attached. I see at least 4 of them.
She could have the word Fierce written on the back card, and she switched it out when she picked the card up with her back to the audience before she showed the card to the audience.” It came after Britain’s Got Talent were embroiled in a fix row after fans realised that Alexandra has been on three other similar competition shows. One fan was quick to take to YouTube to call out a “fix” as one put that the audition was “so obviously rigged”.
Another moaned: “Nothing against the woman, BUT this act has already been on Canada Got Talent TWICE...
once as an assistant and 2nd was on her own.”.
