Britain’s Got Talent fans spot blunder in magic acts ‘time travel’ trick- did you see it?
BRITAIN’S Got Talent fans have spotted a blunder in one of Saturday night’s acts ‘time travel’ tricks.
Couple Jay and Joss took to the stage to perform magic and illusions in front of the judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli.
They began their audition by explaining their love story and played clips out from their engagement and wedding.
The pair then confessed that they haven’t had their honeymoon yet and asked the judges for help – Simon, Amanda and Alesha had to provide a date, month and year for it to take place.
They had to do so while holding a balloon.
Simon chose the 7th, Amanda opted for the month August and Alesha chose 2025.
Bruno then held the balloon and when it burst it, a note came out which stated 07/08/2025.
They were then asked to provide how much money they would spend (£7,700.50), their hotel room number (127), location (Blackpool), and showbiz entertainer (Nicole Scherzinger).
The couple then played out a video of all the choices that had been made – and all of them matched the judge’s choices.
At the beginning of the clip, a newspaper was placed on their table and had the date Tuesday 7 August 2025.
However one fan pointed out on X, formerly known as Twitter, that is incorrect.
They wrote on the social media platform: “The act who went into the future & pulled out a newspaper with the date Tuesday 7th of August 2025 are fake, the 7th of August 2025 will be a Thursday, not Tuesday. #BGT #bgt.”
Meanwhile other viewers have ‘figured out’ how the pair did it.
Many took to X to share their thoughts.
One person wrote: “The third member of this act is the chap on the video editor. #bgt”, as another commented: “Isn’t video editing magic #bgt #britainsgottalent.”
A third person added: “The third member of this act is the chap on the video editor. #bgt”.
A fourth viewer penned: “Since when was AI considered magic? #britainsgottalent #BGT”, while another wrote: “Anything with video, external content can all be altered by a team off camera. Nah. #BGT.”
Britain's Got Talent's biggest 'fix' rows
Britain's Got Talent has been plagued with 'fix' rows over the years. How many of these do you remember?
Jasmine Elcock – 2016: Teenage singer Jasmine Elcock stunned the nation with her version of Cher’s Believe. But it then transpired she had already performed professionally in London’s West End. Jasmine, 14, admitted: “I’ve performed in Annie in the West End at about the age of nine or 10, but I really get nervous.”
IrShad Shaikh – 2017: BGT fans were left questioning the rule book when IrShad Shaikh auditioned. He got four red buzzers from the judges, which would usually mean an instant dismissal. Yet in a strange turn of events, they let him continue with his act…and put him through to the next round.
Colin Thackery – 2019: Elderly war veteran Colin won BGT in 2019, but there was an outcry over the final. He warbled his place to win with a version of We’ll Meet Again but fans were furious that escapologist Jonathan Goodwin didn’t even rank in the top three. Viewers felt Jonathan – who almost suffocated while being buried alive in a gravel pit – should have won.
Axel Blake – 2022: Comedian Axel Blake was given a Golden Buzzer in 2022 after making the judges laugh. But fans were fuming when they discovered Axel already had a show on worldwide streaming platform Amazon Prime. Despite this, Axel still went on to win the series.
Loren Allred – 2022: The 2022 series of BGT was hit with another controversy when singer Loren Allred also received a Golden Buzzer. She performed Never Enough from the smash hit musical movie The Greatest Showman and got a standing ovation. It later transpired Loren was actually the original voice behind the track.
Taryn Charles – 2024: Singer Taryn Charles is one of this year’s hopefuls lucky enough to receive the Golden Buzzer. Bruno Tonilio put her straight through to the semi-finals following her performance of (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin, but it has now come to light that she is no stranger to TV. Viewers recognised Taryn from an episode of ITV1’s Starstruck, where she impersonated Whitney Houston for judges Olly Murs, Sheridan Smith, Adam Lambert and Beverley Knight.
