Britain’s Got Talent ended on a huge cliffhanger on Saturday, when Simon Cowell dramatically disappeared from the stage at the hands of three returning magicians.
Fans of the ITV reality talent show were left stunned when the ‘absolutely incredible’ Magicians Assemble turned up to make the 64-year-old head judge disappear.
The magical group is made up of three former BGT contestants: Ben Hart, Colin Cloud and Elizabeth The Haunting.
Magicians Assemble told the audience that they came from the future and eerily finished each other’s sentences.
The trio then told the judges and audience that they “found a diary” that will allow them to enter “someone’s memory.”
Britain’s Got Talent ended on a huge cliffhanger on Saturday, when Simon Cowell dramatically disappeared from the stage at the hands of three returning magicians.
Fans of the ITV reality talent show were left stunned when the ‘absolutely incredible’ Magicians Assemble turned up to make the 64-year-old head judge disappear.
Magicians Assemble told the audience they came from the future and spookily finished each other’s sentences and did simple tricks before blindfolding Simon on stage.
They performed tricks like turning liquid into sand before falling, but saved the most dramatic trick for last.
Judges were then asked to choose cards, select a page from a book, and roll dice to find a series of numbers.
Aidan shaved Ben’s hair and the number revealed on his scalp was the same one the judges had chosen earlier.
Colin then invited Simon up on stage and assured him he was “completely safe” while blindfolding him.
Suddenly, Ben threw an hourglass on the ground and broke it. The lights turned on and Simon disappeared, and there was confetti in the place where he once stood.
Amanda Holden asked: ‘Where is Simon?’ and the question was terrifyingly repeated by Simon’s voice in a preview of Sunday’s episode.
X fans, formerly Twitter, also demanded to know Simon’s whereabouts and praised the magicians for their audition.
They wrote: ‘Simon Cowell disappears in a magic trick! Where is the?!?! #BritainsGotTalent #bgt’;
‘Wait what… It just finished!! Where is Simon? The wizards managed to get through!! WTF #BritainsGotTalent’;
