Soooooooooooooooooooo how far have people got on Britains Got Talent???

well, they phoned me up and said that they wanted to keep everybody in suspense throughout the competition, rather than have me in the programme and have everybody know who was going to win straight off from my first performance.

I thought that was fair enough...they have ratings to think about!

good luck xxx

I don't think it's been mentioned in the thread yet, so I thought I'd say it. Britain's Got Talent is actually based on the U.S. show America's Got Talent which had the same premise. It first aired last summer and I thought it was very good. Unfortunately, none of the magicians won . Hopefully the British version will be better to the masters of misdirection .

My Model was shown on ITV2 but not the whole thing which is good cause I can add as seen on TV but I haven't been humiliated I don't think I was rubbish enough to be shown

SOOOOOOOO..ANYBODY APPLYING FOR BGT SERIES 2?

Dave's been trying to talk me into it but I don't think my routine's quite ready yet.

anybody applied for it? if so do you no WHEN the auditions are??

I won't bother until I've got the appearing and vanishing elephant perfected for Simon

In fact, maybe that's simething to work into an opening as it doesn't have to be a full size elephant

"Simon said that he wants to see an appearing elephant" - hey presto (as you make a six inch elephant appear from under a silk "I'll now vanish it back into it's trunk" etc.

GROAN

I was thinking more of a balloon elephant; easier to 'disappear' even if full size.

I personally think that all of these 'talent' shows are very poor places to showcase magic. Obviously any sort of close up is well out of the question in a venue such as the one in 'Britains Got Talent' and the judges stated they dislike magic. So this leaves stage illusions really and unless one has an act that isnt prancing around in lycra or being a horror magician then this one is one to leave be.
Plus talent tv is lowest common denominator tv...well that and reality tv. Steer clear

For series 1 my friend and i auditioned and did acting in front of the producers but didnt get thru to perform in front of the judges
We were thinking of applying again as comedians ...do u think we'd get thru this time were both 14 btw

Without seeing your act it's hard to tell if you will get through.

However, you do come across as appearing to just be plucking ideas out of the air to get on TV rather than having a main talent to showcase. You stand far less of a chance of proceeding with this attitude as opposed to someone who has worked hard at honing a real talent.

As you said, you first tried acting, now comedy and what next?

If I do it I think I will paint my model with trousers over the ribcage and paint the face to look like simon
