Magician Wins popular TV show - "Sweden's Got Talent"

Until now, a magic act or magician has never won a public talent show. But that all changed when Swedish Magician - Charlie Caper entered the popular TV show - Sweden's Got Talent. This TV show has been adopted by many different countries and has the same format for every show where contestants perform perform a live audience and three judges.

The Swedish magician performed his award winning act as well as a cups and balls routine which enabled him to win the show. The performed a comedy magic routine mixed with classic magic tricks. He also had a running joke throughout his routines which involved an appearing and vanishing bow tie.

Congraulations to Charlie Caper - let's hope Sweden can influence both the UK and US Judges to be more enthusiastic about their country's magicians now that we have seen a magician win this style of competition!
