Eagle-eyed viewers believe they figured out a magician's secret when he performed on the ITV talent show Britain's Got Talent on Sunday night.
Miki Dark performed for the crowd and judges Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and newcomer Bruno Tonioli. He performs as a "scary illusionist" known for tricks including swallowing razor blades, throwing knives blindfolded and setting himself on fire.
On Sunday, however, viewers appeared to work out the routine, which consisted of a trick where he appeared to set Simon Cowell on fire, reports the Mirror.
Simon sat on a chair with a cover placed over his head, which Miki then poured lighter fluid over. The judge's head was then placed in a box, before Miki set the box on fire - leading to Amanda and Alesha staring in horror, as audience members screamed.
Miki removed the box and revealed Simon was fine, with the other judges shocked but relieved to see Simon was unharmed. Taking to Twitter, viewers claimed they knew the secret, which involved either a fireproof covering, or a secret box hidden from view.
One person tweeted: "Well obviously there was another box round his head and the fire was between the 2 boxes. Acting he didn't know what was happening. Getting too staged now this."
Another said: "A fire proof box sectioned off all round the top and sides, with lighter fluid already doused on beforehand, and water Simon's head completely shielded anyway. This is basic magic that's been done for a century."
A third viewer said: "So a box with a false roof, false front and false sides nearly tricked us into thinking he set Simons head on fire."
Meanwhile a fourth viewer said: "Have the audience and judges never seen a fire-proof hood used in special effects? It was entertaining but not dangerous in the slightest."
