A magician from South Korea got four yeses from the Britain’s Got Talent judges after a mishap threatened to derail his audition. The act known as Manho dramatically fell off the stage as his audition appeared to go wrong.
It came as he impressed with his magical skills to change his outfit using images found in magazines. However, as he looked to be enjoying the occasion – and impressing the audience with his unique talent – he plunged into a cameraman while trying to switch shoes.
After his fall, Manho reassured the judges he was good to continue and quickly got back to action. Despite gasps from the crowd as well as being branded a top professional by judges as he carried on, some fans believe it was all part of the act.
Taking to Twitter/X one user wrote: “I wonder if he meant to fall off the stage so he could change the shoes. Either way nobody went to help him! #BGT“
Another seemed to agree, writing: “I thought he meant to fall,” alongside a grimacing face emoji. A third added: “Was it just me who thought he was meant to fall off the stage? Whoops! #BGT”
Despite many questioning the fall, others were stunned by what they witnessed. One user gushed: “Manho knows how to turn heads with his unique brand of fashion-forward magic, using gobsmacking quick-change skills to get himself suited and booted. Not even a fall can keep this magician from delivering a slick and effortless performance.”
Another added: “He has the magic touch! Never mind the fall he has it all!!! #BGT,” and a third said: “He was great!!!”
Speaking before sending him through to the next round, Amanda Holden told him: “Manho, first of all can I say, what an absolute professional, you carried on. I really loved this, it was unique.
“We’ve had a lot of quick change artists come on the show before but never anything sort of as cool and as slick and as modern as this. I loved it.”
Alesha added: “The attention to detail in that act was absolutely superb. You’re incredible. Well done,” before KSI told the contestant: “I thought it was very very cool. I think you’re slick, the changing was nice. I’m very excited to see what you come up with next.”
And speaking of the fall, Simon Cowell added: “However, the fact it went wrong, sort of made the act better. Things do go wrong and that happens in life.”
