Britain's Got Talent fans will be getting excited as the semi-finals kick off on Bank Holiday Monday (May 29). But the team behind the hit ITV show has given a sneak peek of one of the acts in store on Saturday's final audition round.
And many will be delighted to see that the entertainer firmly puts Simon Cowell in his place. Ant and Dec hosted the audition episodes in London and Manchester looking for acts to impress judges Simon, Bruno Tonioli, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon.
This afternoon, BGT took to Instagram to share the link to magic comedy act Kimoon Do. The story is linked to the full four-minute audition clip on YouTube which shows Kimoon Do wowing the judges with a pack of cards.

The magician sets out to find four aces, claiming he has practiced this trick a lot. When Kimoon Do reveals the sleight of hand in this first move, Simon laughs out loud before looking bored, but he soon gets back into the flow.
Kimoon Do then asks Simon to shuffle the cards. Anyone expecting to see a card sharp's skills in the shuffle is set to be disappointed, as he merely slices the deck a couple of times before asking "Can I take any one?"
Kimoon Do soon puts the mega judge in his place telling him "only to shuffle", much to the audience's hilarity. The choice of card then goes to Amanda on Simon's right.
It's a risky strategy for Kimoon Do to make fun of Simon if he's hoping to get through to the semi-finals. However, the 63-year-old does share a few wide smiles and laughs throughout the performance.
We'll have to wait and see if the magician gets waved through to the next stage when BGT screens on Saturday. You can watch the whole of Kimoon Do's
A Britain's Got Talent act who made history by receiving the first ever group golden buzzer has been hailed by viewers as the 'best audition ever.'
We've laughed, we’ve cried and we’ve been amazed by this year’s Britain’s Got Talent auditions but now it’s time to start picking a winner. Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli have chosen their favourites and every night this week they’ll battle it out to get through to the grand finale (Sunday June 4).
Amanda Holden has once again addressed her seemingly 'braless' appearances as she gave fans a glimpse into her latest fashion display. The Britain's Got Talent judge is used to having all eyes on her when it comes to her outfits with some of her wardrobe choices even attracting official complaints.
Life really is busy when you’re as in demand as Ashley Banjo. Leader of the dance troupe Diversity – who soared to fame after winning Britain’s Got Talent in 2009 – one of the Dancing On Ice judging panel and upcoming star of the new West End musical The Wizard Of Oz, he certainly knows a thing or two about time management.
Amanda Holden has backed Dermot O’Leary to replace Phillip Schofield on This Morning after the line-up was thrown into chaos when he left the show after 21 years. Phillip, 61, stepped down from the breakfast telly show following reports of a feud with long-time co-host and friend, Holly Willoughby, 42. After the shock exit at the weekend, Holly announced she was taking a two-week half-term break, leaving Alison Hammond, 48, and Dermot, 50, to hold the fort in her absence.
Britain's Got Talent judge and Heart Breakfast co-host Amanda Holden was spotted leaving work in a summery lilac outfit on Tuesday. Outside the radio station's London studio, the 54 year old flashed photographers a smile, dressed head-to-toe in the colour of Parma Violets. This comes after Amanda took a cryptic swipe at This Morning's fallen star Phillip Schofield over on Instagram last weekend - uploading a blank black screen with just a flexing bicep emoji, seemingly celebrating the presenter's exit from the popular daytime TV show.
Amanda Holden shared a lovely photo with her rarely-seen mum Judith and daughter Lexi, 17, after the trio spent the afternoon enjoying the sunshine together.The Britain’s Got Talent judge captioned the sweet snap with a simple message, tagging her daughter as she wrote: "Such a gorgeous afternoon with my mummy and @lexi.hughes_official." In the picture, the trio all lean in for the picture together as Amanda and her mum sport sunglasses. Amanda, 52, is sporting a cream jacket similar to teenage daughter Lexi's, while her mum Judith wears a blush pink blouse with a tie-front bow.
Simon Cowell poked fun at his ever-changing face during a recent episode of Britain’s Got Talent this past Saturday (May 20).During an act in which contestant Tom Crosbie made an art piece of the faces of Albert Einstein and Judge Bruno Tonioli using Rubik’s Cubes, Cowell made a funny remark regarding his own face.“How the hell did you do that?” asked Cowell after the art left all of the judges stunned. “Practice, lots of different faces. It turns out you have a really difficult face to make Rubik Cubes out of,” shared Crosbie.Cowell quickly replied with a laugh: “I’ll change my face…again.”Fans of the show took to twitter to respond to the banter.
Simon Cowell appeared to have developed a rebellious streak during Saturday’s round of Britain’s Got Talent auditions, when he broke protocol to hit the golden buzzer for a second time this series. As regular viewers will know, the judges are only permitted to press the golden buzzer once every series, to place their favourite act directly into the live semi finals - with Simon having already used his buzzer to pick 13 year old Treble singer, Malakai Bayoh.

Britain’s Got Talent viewers are convinced that they’ve pieced together how a magician set Simon Cowell on fire on Sunday night's show.
