BGT fans slam Golden Buzzer act after spotting 'poor' magic trick bottle blunder

Britain's Got Talent fans were left unimpressed by an act on tonight's show after spotting he suffered a magic trick blunder.

The ITV talent series returned on Wednesday for the third live semi-final episode in a row.

Judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams were left mesmerised as they watched magician Keiichi Iwasaki's performance - but it didn't appear to go down well with viewers.

He asked Simon to look at his handkerchief as he took out a bottle of Corona from his back pocket.

The magician tapped on the hankie and then removed it, as he proudly revealed the lager to an astonished Simon.

The judge asked: "How did you do that?" as Keiichi then proceeded to open the bottle for him.

Simon then took a swig from the bottle.

Taking to Twitter to react to the trick, many claimed they could see the bottle as he reached for it from his back pocket.

One person wrote: "Could clearly see him take the bottle out of his pocket!"

A second shared: "Wow. Did he spend £7 on amazon for that string? #bgt #BritainsGotTalent poundland magician."

"This guy is a s**t magician, literally saw him take the bottle out his back pocket and the bottle opener #bgt," a third added.

A fourth complained: "Getting rid of the string on his 20 quid…its poor at best #bgt."

A fifth shared: "Pulled the bottle from his back pocket #rewind #BGT."

Keiichi left the Britain's Got Talent judges and viewers at home in awe with his first ever audition.

The spellbinding magician, who admitted he was nervous, said he had chosen to be on BGT because it's "the biggest stage in the world".

Keiichi then enlisted Alesha Dixon as his next assistant andfloated a ring through the air all the way onto her finger.

Amanda Holden said he was "very charming", David Walliams dubbed him as the "funniest person we've seen" and Simon Cowell said his son Eric would "absolutely love" him.

Keiichi said: "It's like a dream, thank you so much. I can't explain my emotion, I never expected the golden buzzer. Thank you so much."

*Britain's Got Talent returns tomorrow at 8pm on ITV.
