manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Britain's Got Talent fans were divided after a group of magicians performed on Wednesday night's live semi-final (May 29). Four magicians from the previous series returned this year to form a new act called Magicians Assemble.

In a bid to get into Sunday night's final, they put together a magic act which even saw an audience member get involved. One young girl plucked from the live audience was asked what her biggest wish was.

Coincidentally said said it was to fly. She was then sat up on a box, with one of the magicians helping her to defy gravity and fly.

Many took to X, formerly Twitter, to share their thoughts. @hrryllz said: "#BGT cannot believe how disappointing the magic was you could literally hear the squeaking of the device used to make the girl ‘levitate’" as @letsdigit echoed: "You can hear the mechanism squeaking as it lifts her #bgt". @Mr_Chris_Jones pointed out: "sorry but a random girl plucked out the audience would not just allow herself to fly like that - you’d be screaming #bgt" as @geordierail wrote: "That kid was totally chilled considering some random magician just made her levitate. #bgt". @BlueNoseTracy slammed: "Thought that magic was boring myself.
