MagicTricks.co.uk owners on Britain's Got Talent

Last week you may have seen MagicTricks.co.uk owners on the UK TV series Britain's Got Talent. Keelan Leyser and Charlotte Marie, the British Quick Change Artists and British Magical Grand Prix Champions (Blackpool Magic Convention 2007) appeared on the popular TV show Britain's Got Talent last week on the final show of the auditions.

The British Couple who have been performing their Quick Change Act for the past 3.5 years auditioned for the show back in January. They went straight into the 2nd round after they were head hunted by the shows producers to appear on Britain's Got Talent. They were asked to appear for the first 2 series but had always been working abroad and weren't able to make it back to the UK for the auditions.
In 2009 they were in the UK ( working for MagicTricks.co.uk) , so auditioned at the Hammersmith Apollo, London in front of the three judges; Simon Cowell. Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden and a packed theatre of 4000! They performed a shortened 2 minute version of their usual 8 minute Quick Change Act which went down a storm with the entire audience and all the judges. They received a standing ovation for their quick change act and were put through to the live semi finals of the show. Unfortunately, between the auditions and the live semi finals, the Quick Change Artists received a booking for a tour of India for Sports Channel giant ESPN, so were unable to perform in the live semi finals as the dates clashed!
