Simon was right about the Phantom. There was no actual reveal about the trick/illusion. It was never clarified on David’s piece of paper what the memory was until minutes after it ended. Which resulted in a disappointing ending. It was slightly boring in the middle as well.

@@dboy_fresh8312 That wasn’t confirmation or a reveal. That was just her guess of what his answer could be. There was no reveal/ confirmation from David during the routine. And we never got to see what was written on the paper. It wasn’t until after the routine had ended when he mentions the memory he thought of. That’s why it was an underwhelming ending, and where the confusion came from. That’s why it was a flawed ending and caused any chance of getting to the final.

You can just tell by the audience's reaction that something's off or missing. An interesting concept that left lots of room for improvement with the execution.

I was thinking he ran out of time and got told to end it by the producers hence why David had to do the reveal instead.

They should have made David hold the paper up to the mirror to reveal what Amanda said was correct? Something definitely missing...

Maybe that's part if the act.. not to play all cards and leave judges and audience hanging to let the phantom come back with more answered questions...

[@dougaldouglas8842]

@@SaucySpaceWizard It is simple. The person of Amanda was still in the box. How the technique of having someone fit her description and voice I would like to know, but the mind reading is a totally con, obvious. You read the life story of the man, you then pick out a piece that is amusing, write it down, and get someone to memorise it, pretend to have trouble revealing it, which sounds like a double has been found, and there you have it. The clock on remote control, so when the judge tells the time, and the cloth comes off the time on the clock matches. If, however, the cloth were to come off, revealing the time, then the judge read out the time, that would be different.

[@a1ex_405]

Basically, all that happened is Amanda got up and stood in a box for the whole act, whilst some guy back stage used remote controls to make objects move and then press Davids buzzer at the end. Great act👍🤣

[@John-ru4iz]

My problem with this act is that it's obvious the guy is using remotes and special mechanics to make objects move, and he's probably using a monitor or just standing in the back somewhere to watch everything, and we never see a proper prestige of himself or Amanda at any point. He's leaving far too much unseen for it to feel mysterious. The secret of great "magic" is to make us think we're seeing everything, and then fool us anyway.

[@hannahdebs4616]

Amanda was too quiet during the act. When she had "dissapeared" and was "moving" things, I expected her to laugh, scream, comment, ask questions like "what this" or "you want me to do it now" - thats what gave me a weird vibe.

[@dougaldouglas8842]

She has, in the past, aided magicians, so why not know, and as you say, far too quiet

[@stephen-dfc]

This whole act would’ve been exposed if one of the judges literally asked “did you ever leave the box?”

[@lucianodenobrega5319]

She never left the box.

[@Marowakie]

She would’ve said yes cause she was in on the act. I dont think these acts will be possible without at least one inside men/women

[@Mvchinez]

What makes it not that great for me is in the box you can see the reflection of a different set of lights in the front part of the box, and between those lights is the mirror if you will that lets you see through it if the back lights are turned on, and if the front ones are turned (turned them on to make her “invisible”) you can’t see through it, lol!

[@replicativeimpact1574]

I dont get the magic part.. the box was still standing there in the dark, didnt move and she didnt reappear somewhere else (in person). So how did she become invisible? 🤔 this act also proves how the judges are involved cause this would never be possible without at least Amandas (and maybe also Davids) involvement

[@DaveChimny]

@@replicativeimpact1574 There's a simple psychologic thing in magic: Tell an audience member to do something and in 99% he or she will do exactly that. Even if they aren't briefed for the trick beforehand. Most people don't want to ruin the performance so they nearly would do anything the magician wants them to.

[@janmarrod7805]

Simon is really a smart guy thats why im a fan of all his Talent shows

[@kbloveheidi3166]

Same like I had the same thoughts

[@Fritz_From_the_Fall]

Y'know, the first audition of the Phantom, I was kind of intrigued, and probably because it was executed far better than this follow-up, but the more I think about it--Magic is far more compelling when you have the Magician in front of you on the stage to put in things that disprove your original notions. The invisibility angle, and things just moving is a little too gimmicky especially considering that we all can figure the "phantom" not being present and visible gives the upper hand to working around things.

[@mummy12343]

sssss

[@timmartin2894]

Simon was right in the sense that there are two gaps in the act - 1) It wasn't revealed during the act if Amanda was correct about what David wrote down; 2) Amanda had to be in on the act - she clearly read/followed a script and prompts, and didn't reveal her whereabouts during the act, and went along with it... if she wasn't, she would have said she wasn't and would be as amazed as everyone else about how she could no longer be seen and how she somehow guessed David's thoughts correctly... but she didn't. All this made it disjointed and incomplete. Later she as good as confirmed this by saying she wasn't interested in being the "Debbie McGee [magician's assistant]" of an act... We know Amanda can't read minds - she can barely read a newspaper... that part of the act doesn't make sense.

[@wellieswomenmess]

and a school boy trick of pepper ghost was over worked

[@billthewhovian]

Yeah she's in on it and I guess peppers ghost. It's a shame because to me a judge being in on it makes it rigged.

[@DigitalBliss69]

The phantom read David’s mind and transmitted the info to Amanda’s mind, we are energetic beings and our minds act as receivers and transmitters of information. Most people have this experience subconsciously like when thinking about a certain person and moments later they call you or text you.

david is a stupid actor on stage

[@ArhitMitra]

The phantom told david to write his thought in the paper , david should have confirmed the thought by showing everyone what he wrote in the piece of paper and not just by merely agreeing to what amanda said. David was not at all surprised by the fact that amanda read his mind, why? The phantom told simon to think of a number and simon showed 7 but it had no relevance in the trick . If amanda became really invisible then it should have been shown by opening the box in which she stood infront of everyone . Only when amanda went inside before being invisible and came out after being visible was the box opened. When david stood infront of the mirror phantom told amanda is standing to his left, david shifted towards the left but didn't bump into amanda, yes people will say that the phantom told that she had got the ability to go through solid things but if that is the case then how did she open and close the box and pull the chair and sit on it? How did david remember the exact time of the incident which had occurred 40yrs ago ? He said that it was 12.15 pm that trying to avoid the sprinkler system he fell in the cannal. Moreover it looked like david knew what to do as in the starting even before the phantom could tell david to write his thought on the paper he lifted the pen and paper. So because of these questions not being answered the trick could not deliver a good impact, atleast it didn't leave a strong impact on me.

This act makes me question the legitimacy of BGT. Amanda had to be part of the deception for this to work, when she should be an impartial judge.

Amanda went in on it, when she was put into the 'invisible realm' by standing in front of a transparent LCD 'in the invisible box'... All the Phantom magician needs is put VFX in the middle LCD to cover Amanda to make her 'invisible'. Now, since Amanda is just waiting in the box, David didn't bump or feel Amanda's presence when he stood in front of the mirror. David's writing on the note can be easily seen by using zoom camera from above him when he wrote it on the judges desk. Set the clock (and prolly everything else) by remote and brief Amanda to read David's writing from behind the box. Simon is on point on this one. By the way, Simon always picks the number 7...or 717

Amanda never leaves box just clever lighting to conceal her, voice is not hers but sound alike and mirror part is just a projection, average illusion at best and I am no expert

[@ManchesterCowboy0161]

Look at chair on the left, bottom of the leg there a wire, either to pull or a radio control on it to move it

[@craigblyth783]

but dude with this comment you put yourself out to be....table never moved...please tell us how an assistant could be that versatile to manipulate the clock etc...yes maybe Amanda still in box...question is really....could you have pulled this off?...after all it was only an average illusion...should be easy huh

[@SL0409]

Yeah. Dreadful act really. Blatantly obvious what was happening at every stage All the table stuff was all done mechanically under the table Amanda never leaves the box and even in the mirror it doesn't even look like her if you look at her face David messed up so many times aswell 😂 At the mirror the phantom says stand on the x and look to your left, Amanda is standing right beside you But David steps to his left (where Amanda is apparently standing invisible) and the phantom screams at him to move back to the x 😂

[@Houdini2323]

Wrong on pretty much every count there - you certainly aren't any expert.

[@bobhiggins5773]

@@craigblyth783 Watch again back right of table moves upwards at 4:55 and again at 5:11 . Plenty of room in the table to the right for an assistant. I said I am no expert just my observations using common sense. Could I have pulled this off, most probably with all the props and practice as you could as well given that the person who did is also a normal human. Most illusions would be far easier to do than lets say card or coin manipulation.

It's missing the part where you're amazed. You're supposed to think you see and know everything. Then you get surprised by something unexpected. That's the payoff that was missing.

[@qashmarahmad]

Thanks so much ❤️

[@sleepsmilemusic]

Before David is asked to pick up the pen, he does it way before it is announced. Have a feeling the judges are also staging their reaction, just something is off about this whole act. It also seems way too unbelievable that this is real magic, which just makes me believe the entire thing was staged. Also why on earth was no one asking Amanda where she went, how she teleported from the mirror to the box instantly, what happened when she was looking into the mirror and how she the knew the memory. Did she have visions of it? Did someone tell her? This act was too mysterious to seem legitimate

[@themoment3034]

[@inklingsofgod]

The box was nothing more than a two-way mirror in front of Amanda as long as the back row of lights were lit up, which you could obviously see, then she was visible. As soon as the front lights were lit up and the back row turned off you could see a double row of lights in the front. The second row now only being a reflection of the front row. Now she disappears??? behind the mirror. She never moved away from that. It would have been much more impressive to have one of the other judges walk through the box from Back to Front proving that Amanda had truly disappeared which is absolutely possible to do but at least it would have been impressive. If you read the rest of everyone's comments you will easily figure out how this entire routine is done

Would be curious to hear from the phantom as to why the memory bit was never revealed on stage. Did he forget? Did he think it went wrong so he skimmed past it? Also I'm all for magic acts but it's unfair to have the judges in on the trick. Only magic gets this service

What was the second piece of paper for, that David took from the box at the end?

[@Bryony.xoxo.]

I CANT BELIVE WE KNOW WHO THIS MAN IS NOW

[@gregoriusbernardus8065]

The trick is really simple. The clock, the box, the chair, etc are using some kind of remote control. When david says the clock, the magician set it up then. That is why the clock needed to be covered up first. The box and the chair is simply using remote control. The paper probably has some kind of thin layer of magnet, and below the desk there is moving magnet that drag the paper. That is why the paper need to be spread that way. And amanda trick is so simple. The box has two layer and some kind of mirror. Amanda still there while the box looks empty. And then she was brought backstage so she can do mirror performance. And the storyline has no satisfying ending. As simon says.

[@tomhayes413]

How would Amanda have known what David’s memory was tho

[@ryanennis4843]

I think I have a solution to this, when she stepped into the box she never left till end. The box could project her from inside the box onto the mirror. I'm sure one day we'll find out for sure when the identity is revealed 😉

[@ToddWight]

The glass box has a 2-sided mirror in the middle. Initially the 2 rows of lights are on in the back, allowing Amanda's image to show through. Then those turn off, and the first row of lights on the front side of the mirror go on, so that all we see is the reflection of lights on the front side of the mirror.

[@SalsabilaSmart]

wow that's really cool, tense, scary but cool and steady

[@TeamVictoire]

Isn't curious how they respected this act and completely ruined "The witches"?

[@spongekp]

"The witches" ruined the witches. That was one boring act. Reading pieces of paper and then a rat that was in a hidden compartment. The humor of the judges was the only thing interesting about the whole routine.

[@BreathlessGust]

I believe The Witches were actually too scary so they were instructed to light up the mood. You can see them talking with the production team right at the start. David was even covering his ear to hear them.

[@joycegriesing9807]

When Amanda stood behind the lighted door you can see a shadow run off stage. Most likely it was Amanda running off to her left where no one can see her. The only thing I can't explain is her in the mirror.

[@katebruinss7522]

that was the person who was helping her watch closely before u can see a hand

[@Kylieahann]

There was one of the stage crew putting a panel on and off the box she stepped in. That's who walked off the stage.

[@giselleleyva1931]

Those people were the crew that helped her in and helped her out

[@ItsRomyYo]

There's like a camera inside the box that reflects her mirror, They made that to look like Amanda was standing next to David.

[@DanCarnellious]

If you look at the lights it should help. When Amanda is in the box the back two lights are on- when she's not the first light and the "back" light are. Not saying anymore than that. Magic is a lot of smoke and mirrors after all.
