The disrespect and jokes were because they were all scared… but how this guy maintained his character was flawless… I’d love to see him with his own act…
was thinking the same thing. It was hard to stay immersed into the fear of the performance as it was made into a big joke. Ruined the guys chances I think
His tricks are what the magic industry would call "basic" but that's not his talent here, its his acting and makeup. No matter if you know how he did the trick his whole presentation is what grabs you. What a great performer.
Keep attention over here...whilst the other hand does this over there....simple magic...but yes..his whole performance is on another level...that's the actual magic going on here
I just want to thank Amanda for being the only one of the judges who handled this in a professional manner. She just let the contestant do what they needed to. She didn’t act snarky. She didn’t try overshadowing them. Didn’t try ruining the ambience. She just did what was told.
The other judges wanted to break the mood on purpose, they are testing the candidate, because the central element of the performance is the acting, so they need to create a test of fire
The other layer that people don’t realize is the acting. Not only is the act a magic act, there is also a theatrical element. The fact that ‘the witch’ is able to keep their composure even through the judges joke is a talent in itself.
The witch in the semi-final had poor voice projection and diction. It was difficult to understand him, even the judges were squinting their eyes when listening to him and he was just across the table. Was quite uncomfortable to watch for that reason alone...
@@timmartin2894 I could hear everything perfectly fine, unless you're implying it was hard to hear the act LIVE rather than via RUclips, otherwise It was fine for me.
I agree. He's so good at maintaining his emotions even though things were not going exactly his way. People were making fun of him and at the same time they talked so much plus uncontrolled side comments. I don't think the final round will be favorable for him (the witch). Edited: No, the witch didn't make it to the finals. So sad. 🤔
@@xiaokanfengyun-xn He got enough exposure . This is a hit and it was good enough jolt a jaded Old Fart like me who is Simon Cowell ‘s age . If he stays on top of it , this act definitely has longevity possibilities
The acting here, the presence, the gaze, staying in character all throughout, HUGE talent! You can tell how much work and preparation has gone into this act. Really amazing performance.
@@llamalady8700 admittedly this one wasn’t as good as the first audition & was expecting something totally different from the witches act this time round. Nevertheless the judges didn’t help with the time wasting & mick tacking out of the act
@@tonyl1984 The acting of the witch was good, but the trick is so simple. A secret door in the box where the rat is in and a remote control that opens the secret door to let the rat out.
I don't like when judges making fun of his act, but at the same time it shows how spooky & scary this is by covering their own fear with jokes. overall amazing performance!
Amanda usually represents your stereotypical normie yet here she's somehow the only one who's doing a proper job being part of the LARP, staying invested, helping both the performer and the audience. I'm not a fan of hers at times but credit where credit is due, well done!
Aside from those points you've made you could also look at it from another perspective. The judges are poking and prodding in order to test the level of performance and talent. The fact that this person kept character and remained composed with their jokes is a testament to their talent. The judges were testing that talent. If this show were to win and go to Vegas then the person doing this act would need to be prepared for any situation because they would be dealing with a completely new audience every time.
I hate the judges so much for being so rude to the performance, this thing was a masterpiece, and the hability of this person to stay on character is huge acting skills, mantaining the spooky factor even when people is laughing
I agree with you 100%. The judges kill half of his performance, which is still good but would have been brilliant just like his 1st one was. If he reaches the final he must find a way to deal with them, they are a huge problem: maybe avoid interaction with them is best at this point.
This was good. It shows how talented he really is even after everything. Hell. If it were me I would've already forgotten my lines with that mass audience..
The judges are the culprit. They were so rude and killed half of the effect of his amazing performance. This guy should have won this year. It shouldn't even have been a close race imo, so superior his performance was.
i agree...although i was laughing but this is the performance ive been waiting for and it almost come to a ruin bec of uncontrolled side comments... The judges seems forget they are to judge ,not to perform...
Unpopular opinion: I feel that giving the judges and opportunity to joke and laugh was the fault of the performer, not controlling the state of the act well enough. Personally felt a bit draggy… it’ll be a lot cooler if all the judges fears came, not just the rat.
@oks raisk If they keeep innovating , adapting , tweaking , hence adding new material they could have a future like that group BlueMen when they debuted decades ago because this the best offbeat act I have seen since BlueMen’s debut
The acting and stage presence of this performer is exceptional! Although the judge's jokes were disrespectful, I think we do have a tendency as humans to disguise our fear with humour, to almost lighten the mood.
I was in the Audience, David laughed at one point (but I'm gonna be honest I laughed before he did cause of the way the witch was speaking ab fear) right which caused a chain of laughter, which you can see in the video so idk why I just relayed it to you haha. So in conclusion; it could have been more creepy if it wasn't for the continuous jokes made . The act was really good, I couldn't see it very well though cause I was sitting at the very top.
This is the kind of stuff that should win. This is the kind of stuff that people enjoy seeing even though it's scary... It's one of the best magical theatrical performances I've ever seen in my life.... He deserves to be in the finals. He deserves to win
@@red8776 They didn't make it to the finals because soft parents complained that their kids started to have nightmares about the characters in the act. I'd have nightmares too if I dreamt about Simon and David horrible jokes.
I love this. The effort he put into this. THIS, is TALENT. This is a show you could take ANYONE to and they'd love. The devotion to his character. Never cracking ONCE. The consistent movements. He's become this character. 100%. It's not that often that actors can play these out there insane characters and stay in it 100% all the way the whole time.
Wow that was incredible. The acting was so impressive even when the judges were trying to make jokes to cover up them being creeped the hell out. Amazing acting as well as magic! Hope this “Witch” becomes huge and makes lots of hard earned money!
Отвратительно сыграно. Вот ведьма с яблоками - это реально сильный и более правдивый номер. А это фигня, эти дурацкие движения и особенно исчезновение на троне ( в конце видно как дверка люка закрылась под троном )
@@devotedcambo1991 no, you my fellow commenter is wrong. witches are in fact both male and female (they are more like magic doctors) wizards are completely different type of magic users
The judges in all honesty ruined this act. Them joking around and laughing so much took so much away from the terror levels for this act. Such a shame.
i know that was really disrespectful if they wanna joke around they need to do that on their off time not while people are putting on the greatest performance of their life, with the whole world watching
@@axeltaylor9094 Well yes i know thats a common thing to do, the problem is that them doing that also got the entire audience laughing and the mood got lightened, which then takes away from the act. The audience isnt supposed to be sitting there laughing, theyre supposed to be on edge and antsy.
This is such a great act. It truly resembles horror & gives actual experience on what fear is. His mask & composure is perfect. He mixes evil, with little bit of humility (like a witch friend) or psychic but with a darker touch. This performance is very exhilarating & exciting all at once. Giving chills, goosebumps, & terror. It’s very entertaining. Sort of like a haunted house but on stage. I’d love to attend a real performance
This guy was amazing. The looks, all the little nuances, the voice, all the little movements he makes. The make up & whole character he has created. Just genius. Do a movie staring him now. It will be a huge box office hit.
I agree with the masses here....finally a really interesting act you can't keep your eyes off and the judges just wanted a cheap joke. Would have loved to see them again, couldn't even name another act this year.
This act is awesome. It's shameful that they did not make the finals instead of the usual candy flavoured singers and dancers. Please bring them back for the final.
@@flipsideaddict3247 me mean i doubt this witch was amazing, me mean i hardly even think this is actual magic to be honest. EDIT: like i don't even know where this act is going i'm afraid. yes, it's scarey, but i'm sorry, this act, to me, just plain doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
Outstanding performance from the witch_bgt 🧙♀️ incredible how he kept his cool and was able to deal with the judges and their immature reactions. This guy definitely deserves some recognition! Please help to support him 🙏
Honestly, THESE Witch acts are SOOO much more appealing than the singing acts we're always PAINFULLY subjected to!! THIS kind of acting and magic should have an entire BGT season dedicated to ONLY performances like this!! REAL HYPNOTIZING TALENT!!!
@@eggymayo3271 it's about the whole act not just the rat. You rather just watch the same old singing and dancing yeah? The witches were the best thing on this show in a long time. I gave up watching when they were voted out, same old crap goes through.
Big respect for Amanda for not ruining the ambiance. The other 3 did ruin it. The magic itself is simple that even beginners can do it, but how the magic was presented is on another level. For me the magic isn't the main focus, but the acting and presentation is, which is why when the other 3 ruined the ambiance it kills the magic.
Everything is brilliant! The ambience, the decor, the acting, the sound... though the acting is everything. Got scared, stressed but wanted more. First appearance and this one were flawless. Totally deserve something on their own. Cannot wait to see another!!!
The work that goes into these type of acts is monumental to be honest. From costuming to skit to magic to props..the list goes on. It is extremely disrespectful in any way to try and make something extraordinary into a cheap joke.
@@elizabethsfreemovies4447 because it’s literally their performance. the judges shouldn’t be entertaining when they’re trying to do their act that relies heavily on the atmosphere they create.
Those three did everything they could with their nervous comedic relief to ruin the act, but it was so incredibly immersive that it was amazing anyways. *Bravo!!!*
Totally disgusting how the judges were making fun at eachother while the act was performing thier trick. Took the edge away from it and they should come out and apologise!. They were easily the best act of the night. Hope they get re-instated somehow even as a wildcard.
The amazing thing is that even with the lack of professionalism from the judges, the act was still a success, which tells a lot about the actor's professionalism. Very well done!
The judges totally messed this act up i felt bad for the witch guy i feel like the act didn’t go as he expected it to. The witch is a great actor though he should be in horror movies
Totally disrespectful the judges were tonight, it was a very good performance but the atmosphere was lost with the judges mockery. These guys deserve another chance.
question: is it true when they tried to look for the actor of the witch they couldn't find him? like he just disappeared? my mom told me that and I feel like its a lie because she got it from Facebook.
Good Monday evening Josip Delacruz, No one knows, who the Witch is, under all the make-up. Please remember, the man or woman, under all the make-up and prosthetics, meaning a fake nose, chin, etcetera, is acting. There is no one missing. Peace be with you.
I swear this guy should be an actor. Idk how he was able to stay in character whilst the judges (except Amanda) were being rude. Props to him for doing something amazing whilst staying in character the whole time 🙌
The biggest mistake the judges have ever done is When they made fun with the witch who was still performing because they thought that it will be a negative approach to the audience but the opposite happened. It shows the performer's professionalism and talent that captivates the audience and viewers even MORE!!!
Presentation better than the ones that make you feel sorry. They could do a show with only horror/scary performances. It totally grabs the attention, even if it's a mere mouse, despite people having a mouse phobia. By the way, there's the other brother of the wizards, and they always look up to Simon.
@@World_of_Drama the act would have felt better if the judges wouldn't been doing jokes through the whole thing... actually a little bit disrespectful for the performers
@@flurbi4346 That too. And if you have ever watched The Sacred Riana from previous season of BGT, she was the most amazing scarying magic act ever seen on any talent shows. The rest are just followinh her steps and couldn't get up to the par.
Hand down the best act I've ever seen on any of these shows. His acting and the characters he's developed are phenomenal. Does anyone know what became of him? He really should have his own show. Absolutely fantastic showman.
guys please vote them in. their showmanship is spectacular. its talent and aesthetics they have it all. this is a what talent is not singers. hope they actually win it all. how can you not love it. the first act got more views than the other acts. lets vote to keep the witches in.
@@ceoofwandaism7380 same i really found them to be amazing. Tricks are simple but the craft the makeup the acting. Something about them felt fun to watch. Hope they come back or I wish we had info on who they are
David is great, but in this case, he led the act in the wrong direction and made it really hard for the performer to do well. They had probably already decided that this act would not win beforehand (please notice at the beginning 0:08, David is covering his right ear as if he were listening to indications from directors). 5:01 Simon at least apologizes, "Sorry, he is ruining your act." But then goes on and makes another joke.. hats off to the witch for keeping it together despite the challenge.
@@TaxingIsThieving Probably the wizard did not expect such a reaction from the judges. High pressure makes one emotional and irrational. He is the only act that was mocked during the performance. If David did not like it, he could have given it a buzzer.
By far one of the most incredible acts I’ve seen in a long time. This is what these shows are all about. Not entirely singing and dancing. The talent is able to grab the audience and captivate while stay in character. Almost like watching a short film. It tears me to pieces that the judges make an amazing act a joke and feel the need to make unnecessary comments. Hearing the audience laugh in a scary act because of the judges really irritated me.
I have never ever seen the judges and audience have so much fun with a performance. This was awesome. Absolutely groundbreaking. Whoever that witch is; they have major talent. Just wow.
Well done the judges for ruining what was the best act of the night...You can actually see the performer roll his eyes at 03:45 when Alicia keeps pulling away. Felt for the guy...
The Witch is still number 1 for me. I always loved the fairytale villains and this Evil Queen’s Old Lady to what we all imagine Rumplestiltskin to be - flawlessly brilliant. Love everything about this German Fairytale brought to life. With m a g i c. The appreciation I have for The Witch is boundless.
I'm for the riot, they didn't even get through, honestly the best act on the show. Sick of the usual singing and dancing crap that always wins these things.
I agree, even though he/they didn't win, I can easily see the act becoming an international success. The same people who love Tolkien for example would eat this up.
@@PeaceDweller No doubt . This reminds me of when BlueMen debuted in the 1990s on Jay Leno . These guys , if they stay at it and get the right people behind , may have a good future
I was ACTUALLY there and the acting was amazing me and my friend ran into her in the lobby and screamed so hard!! Seriously this acting is ASTONISHING as an audience member I have never seen anything like that before
The act should be invited back on the show in the finale, BUT as a surprise act. They could just make the witch appear in smoke, as if non of the judges or show knew it were coming. As if supernatural forces takeover the live show. Have the witch randomly pick a shill member of the audience, and then it sacrifices him/her to the underworld as punishment to the judges. The shill audience member will have to be good with the acting, 'please help, me...its real, she's a witch...' They could use a big sheet with hands appearing to crawl at the audience member but nothing behind it...seen it done on another magicians show...cool illusion. And just use good magician magic to make this audience member steam and smoke off into the underworld. The witch can then look at the judges, and audience, smoke appears, and hit the staff or broom on the floor and vanish. The lights all go out. That would be brilliant for this act to go onto worldwide fame, I mean infamy. The fact, the witch never talks to the judges at the end is keeping the mythology alive and using big magic to disappear as 'why would supernatural forces want to be judged by mere mortals.' He'll be good for movies, friday the 13th shows, Halloween and so on. It would also give the extra advantage that another magician can do the rescue mission. They could even use the invisible man for this.
Martin Portlock portrays the witch. Amazing performance! He deserves an award for this! Top notch production here! Spreading his name he needs recognition. We need more!
You can tell the judges were in fear. They had to make jokes just so they calm their nerves down. It was a cover up their true feelings of fear. 🤣 I want more of this act. Lots more. It's epic.
As judges they should know better, if anything you need to hire a different judge. If your "judge" can't grow a pair of balls and understand the witch is there to perform an act and not literally kill you, how are scary act supposed to get anywhere on this show. I understand humour is used as a coping mechanism, but if that person is a judge on a talent show and they resort to that coping mechanism, they need to understand that by doing so, it's taking away from the act, and that is utter disrespect. Find new judges, bunch of wimps they have...
The disrespect and jokes were because they were all scared… but how this guy maintained his character was flawless… I’d love to see him with his own act…
Yeah james i thought same bro
Exactly!
You've seen him in the movies... Yeah, I think he hates the Christmas or something.... Isn't he? It's the Grinch!! In a witch costume.
If one of these witches don't win the next time they enter I'll be very upset. They made it worthwhile watching. ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!!!!!?

Pretty common for the judges when they have a dark magic act, they’ve disqualified people for being too scary

the official guy in on IG! youtube removes my comments with giving the account handle! he is the loveliest of guys!
This is the kind of stuff that should win. This is the kind of stuff that people enjoy seeing even though it's scary... It's one of the best magical theatrical performances I've ever seen in my life.... He deserves to be in the finals. He deserves to win
The sad truth is that this didn't even reached the finals. Comedy is OK but this kind of act is incomparable.
Agreed 👍
@@red8776 They didn't make it to the finals because soft parents complained that their kids started to have nightmares about the characters in the act. I'd have nightmares too if I dreamt about Simon and David horrible jokes.
@@Noblewar LOL! We'll said.
Say it again...
I love this. The effort he put into this. THIS, is TALENT. This is a show you could take ANYONE to and they'd love. The devotion to his character. Never cracking ONCE. The consistent movements. He's become this character. 100%. It's not that often that actors can play these out there insane characters and stay in it 100% all the way the whole time.
Wow that was incredible. The acting was so impressive even when the judges were trying to make jokes to cover up them being creeped the hell out. Amazing acting as well as magic! Hope this “Witch” becomes huge and makes lots of hard earned money!
I want them to come to my birthday 🤣🤣 im 30 this year
Отвратительно сыграно. Вот ведьма с яблоками - это реально сильный и более правдивый номер. А это фигня, эти дурацкие движения и особенно исчезновение на троне ( в конце видно как дверка люка закрылась под троном )
@@bearsy2826 okay they will come to your dream that day just wait 😂
Title is even wrong no man is a witch only wizards
@@devotedcambo1991
no, you my fellow commenter is wrong.
witches are in fact both male and female
(they are more like magic doctors)
wizards are completely different type of magic users
The Witch’s stage presence is remarkable. I didn’t even laugh at the judges’ jokes.
David’s plastic surgeon joke was a good one
The judges in all honesty ruined this act. Them joking around and laughing so much took so much away from the terror levels for this act. Such a shame.
I think they were joking around a lot because they were scared, it is common to mask your fear with humour.
i know
that was really disrespectful
if they wanna joke around
they need to do that on their off time
not while people are putting on the greatest performance of their life, with the whole world watching
@@axeltaylor9094 Well yes i know thats a common thing to do, the problem is that them doing that also got the entire audience laughing and the mood got lightened, which then takes away from the act. The audience isnt supposed to be sitting there laughing, theyre supposed to be on edge and antsy.
@@axeltaylor9094 Or because it wasn't really scary.
They didn't act like goofballs in the first act did they?
well the act wast scary so obviously they will laugh.
This is such a great act. It truly resembles horror & gives actual experience on what fear is. His mask & composure is perfect. He mixes evil, with little bit of humility (like a witch friend) or psychic but with a darker touch. This performance is very exhilarating & exciting all at once. Giving chills, goosebumps, & terror. It’s very entertaining. Sort of like a haunted house but on stage. I’d love to attend a real performance
It's unfortunate he didn't win.
What's impressive is how the witch kept a straight face and didn't laugh.
The judges weren't even that funny tbh
@@-AmPO Making jokes was their coping mechanism
I saw it all as disrespectful
@@77Ariblood I couldn't agree with you more 👍
That's the only impressive thing.
Being childish or telling jokes is a coping mechanism against discomfort or fear. Thats actually amazing
This guy was amazing. The looks, all the little nuances, the voice, all the little movements he makes. The make up & whole character he has created. Just genius. Do a movie staring him now. It will be a huge box office hit.
I agree with the masses here....finally a really interesting act you can't keep your eyes off and the judges just wanted a cheap joke. Would have loved to see them again, couldn't even name another act this year.
This act is awesome. It's shameful that they did not make the finals instead of the usual candy flavoured singers and dancers. Please bring them back for the final.
Wait, the witch didn’t make it to the finals?
He didn't make it 😭😭 best act this year
No they chose some silly kid with a puppet, witch was much better
Shame on the judges for ruining the act, the witch was amazing
@@flipsideaddict3247 me mean i doubt this witch was amazing, me mean i hardly even think this is actual magic to be honest.
EDIT: like i don't even know where this act is going i'm afraid. yes, it's scarey, but i'm sorry, this act, to me, just plain doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
Amanda is such a professional
Outstanding performance from the witch_bgt 🧙♀️ incredible how he kept his cool and was able to deal with the judges and their immature reactions. This guy definitely deserves some recognition! Please help to support him 🙏
Seriously their acting are much more better than horror movies
YEEEEEEEESS SOOOOOLL GOOOD MY GOSH
If they will get thier spot in London Dungeon... I'm not going back there 🤣🤣🤣 ps. Heard the "Curse of the witch" is coming"....
@@eeMaa88 Man they are so amazing Holy c**, I need some movie style production from them, even if it was a short film
After the judges mickey taking this evening I think they will be cursed by the witches 🙏🏻😂
True
Honestly, THESE Witch acts are SOOO much more appealing than the singing acts we're always PAINFULLY subjected to!! THIS kind of acting and magic should have an entire BGT season dedicated to ONLY performances like this!! REAL HYPNOTIZING TALENT!!!
It's 7 minutes of waiting for a woman to touch a rat
@@eggymayo3271 it's about the whole act not just the rat. You rather just watch the same old singing and dancing yeah? The witches were the best thing on this show in a long time. I gave up watching when they were voted out, same old crap goes through.
Big respect for Amanda for not ruining the ambiance. The other 3 did ruin it. The magic itself is simple that even beginners can do it, but how the magic was presented is on another level. For me the magic isn't the main focus, but the acting and presentation is, which is why when the other 3 ruined the ambiance it kills the magic.
Everything is brilliant! The ambience, the decor, the acting, the sound... though the acting is everything. Got scared, stressed but wanted more. First appearance and this one were flawless. Totally deserve something on their own. Cannot wait to see another!!!
I've never hated the judges as much as I did this time.
They were so despicable to someone so talented.
I was so looking forward to this performance.
Plus they didn't even have the manners to address it last night. I say give the witches another chance that doesn't include the judges
Why? do you think Amanda can always sacrifice herself touching those worms and rodent?
Its an entertainment show
i heard him say "are you serious" when the judges are being childish 💔
Impressive poise and control while the judges were cracking jokes initially… It’s a win cause he got 2 judges to leave their seats at the end.
"She" totally failed. Use your brain before creating your next blind comment.
2 judges to leave their seats, shame he isn't on all the time.
He had to run after her...
This guy should be in movie. 😳
The way he stays in the character is fascinating.
The judges ruin this unbelievably awesome act. This guy deserves an Oscar..far better acting then some who actually win them!
The work that goes into these type of acts is monumental to be honest. From costuming to skit to magic to props..the list goes on.
It is extremely disrespectful in any way to try and make something extraordinary into a cheap joke.
It’s an entertainment show jennifer.
@@idekkkkkkkk6682 Yes, and the judges ruined the entertainment.
@@idekkkkkkkk6682 exactly right! Why is everyone complaining about the judges, its an entertainment show not a horror movie, absolutely ridiculous
@@elizabethsfreemovies4447 So you'd deem it appropriate for them to do that during a singers performance? or a dancer?
@@elizabethsfreemovies4447 because it’s literally their performance. the judges shouldn’t be entertaining when they’re trying to do their act that relies heavily on the atmosphere they create.
He is the best act on this show in years and years. Frankly, if not ever. The judges acted disgracefully. What a performance
Those three did everything they could with their nervous comedic relief to ruin the act, but it was so incredibly immersive that it was amazing anyways.
*Bravo!!!*
The judges made fun of him while he was performing and therefore he stayed in the character and didn't laugh, what a legend
No doubt fuming backstage and rightfully so.
3:57 Breaks character right here
@@TaxingIsThieving ig he was shocked but yet well handled
Totally disgusting how the judges were making fun at eachother while the act was performing thier trick. Took the edge away from it and they should come out and apologise!. They were easily the best act of the night. Hope they get re-instated somehow even as a wildcard.
Exactly! Why were they laughing during a spooky act it's not comedy
@@KJ123dath to cover up their fear and break the ice
The music magician guy will be the wildcard
I don’t think any act can be wildcard that didn’t make it to top 3
Because it was laughable
The amazing thing is that even with the lack of professionalism from the judges, the act was still a success, which tells a lot about the actor's professionalism. Very well done!
80% show and 20% trick. This person needs thier own show.
The judges totally messed this act up i felt bad for the witch guy i feel like the act didn’t go as he expected it to. The witch is a great actor though he should be in horror movies
A brilliant performance. Use the wild card and bring back The Witches for the final!
Totally disrespectful the judges were tonight, it was a very good performance but the atmosphere was lost with the judges mockery. These guys deserve another chance.
Probabily had to make it less scary for the Kids in the audience as there were alot of complaints to Ofcom about Elizabeth a few years ago
There make up is very bad tonight he looks younger than before .the act is not interesting this time
question: is it true when they tried to look for the actor of the witch they couldn't find him? like he just disappeared? my mom told me that and I feel like its a lie because she got it from Facebook.
Good Monday evening Josip Delacruz,
No one knows, who the Witch is, under all the make-up.
Please remember, the man or woman, under all the make-up and prosthetics, meaning a fake nose, chin, etcetera, is acting.
There is no one missing.
Peace be with you.
@@josipdelacruz7141 well its a different actor this time so maybe
I swear this guy should be an actor. Idk how he was able to stay in character whilst the judges (except Amanda) were being rude. Props to him for doing something amazing whilst staying in character the whole time 🙌
The biggest mistake the judges have ever done is When they made fun with the witch who was still performing because they thought that it will be a negative approach to the audience but the opposite happened. It shows the performer's professionalism and talent that captivates the audience and viewers even MORE!!!
Presentation better than the ones that make you feel sorry.
They could do a show with only horror/scary performances.
It totally grabs the attention, even if it's a mere mouse, despite people having a mouse phobia.
By the way, there's the other brother of the wizards, and they always look up to Simon.
The make up and the acting was good, but the overall act as in the competition, was not.
@@World_of_Drama the act would have felt better if the judges wouldn't been doing jokes through the whole thing... actually a little bit disrespectful for the performers
@@flurbi4346 That too. And if you have ever watched The Sacred Riana from previous season of BGT, she was the most amazing scarying magic act ever seen on any talent shows. The rest are just followinh her steps and couldn't get up to the par.
The acting of the witch is top notch. Really enjoyed it.
davids fear? frankly i see no problem with that
Maybe its not act....
This was poor compared to the audition. Visually didn't look as good This time and suddenly the voice was different too.
He's not acting.
The “losing the phone number to my plastic surgeon” line by David was class. 😂
No it was just stupid and unprofessional.
@@cmck2696 I think you need to go and get a sense of humour
@@thelittlebeefcake4831I think you need learn some respect. Grown up without parents probably?
@@Alexander711 looks like you grew up with no balls
This has got to be one of the best acts i have ever seen on these shows. he is awesome.
This deserves a show in Vegas. It was more entertaining than crap I've been to.
I'm from Vegas
Congratulations
Hand down the best act I've ever seen on any of these shows. His acting and the characters he's developed are phenomenal. Does anyone know what became of him?
He really should have his own show. Absolutely fantastic showman.
Guy should be in a movie, he plays the part extremely well
Judges killed this act
guys please vote them in. their showmanship is spectacular. its talent and aesthetics they have it all. this is a what talent is not singers. hope they actually win it all. how can you not love it. the first act got more views than the other acts. lets vote to keep the witches in.
Too late. They didn't make it as ur probably aware
Singing isnt a talent? Lol
@@focusandefficiency9359 um its so common where as other talents do more well
Put all my votes in for them but was fuming when they were out
@@ceoofwandaism7380 same i really found them to be amazing. Tricks are simple but the craft the makeup the acting. Something about them felt fun to watch. Hope they come back or I wish we had info on who they are
David is great, but in this case, he led the act in the wrong direction and made it really hard for the performer to do well. They had probably already decided that this act would not win beforehand (please notice at the beginning 0:08, David is covering his right ear as if he were listening to indications from directors). 5:01 Simon at least apologizes, "Sorry, he is ruining your act." But then goes on and makes another joke.. hats off to the witch for keeping it together despite the challenge.
5:01
So bad and immature ...David started it and just spoilt the whole act ..
"I didn't write it!"
Awkward
3:57 Visibly annoyed but doesn't snarl at the judges... it was a poor and uncontrolled performance.
@@TaxingIsThieving Probably the wizard did not expect such a reaction from the judges. High pressure makes one emotional and irrational. He is the only act that was mocked during the performance. If David did not like it, he could have given it a buzzer.
This was an excellent performance all around. Every second was gold
By far one of the most incredible acts I’ve seen in a long time. This is what these shows are all about. Not entirely singing and dancing. The talent is able to grab the audience and captivate while stay in character. Almost like watching a short film. It tears me to pieces that the judges make an amazing act a joke and feel the need to make unnecessary comments. Hearing the audience laugh in a scary act because of the judges really irritated me.
this act is excellent! the character, the make up, the fear he is conveying and the magic trick, I really love it!
Best Actor i have ever seen. They should have their own movie. This is what we would love to see pure talent.
I have never ever seen the judges and audience have so much fun with a performance. This was awesome. Absolutely groundbreaking. Whoever that witch is; they have major talent. Just wow.
No matter the act's quality, I find it disrespectful of the judges to turn it all into a big joke. This is a performance, show some politeness.
Karen calm down it’s all rigged and fake anyways.
Gotta remember this show is a staged event judges already know the acts and cater to them
You are coward. Performance should be different, unique and challenging and it is all in this one.
Hope you realize these shows are scripted. Lmao
💯% agree wrecked the whole thing
This act would be one of the most professional audition in the show , if the judges could react like an adult.
Well done the judges for ruining what was the best act of the night...You can actually see the performer roll his eyes at 03:45 when Alicia keeps pulling away. Felt for the guy...
The Witch is still number 1 for me.
I always loved the fairytale villains and this Evil Queen’s Old Lady to what we all imagine Rumplestiltskin to be - flawlessly brilliant. Love everything about this German Fairytale brought to life. With m a g i c. The appreciation I have for The Witch is boundless.
Most captivating performer on BGT in years. If he doesn’t win, we riot!
I'm for the riot, they didn't even get through, honestly the best act on the show. Sick of the usual singing and dancing crap that always wins these things.
What a crap performance
The judges completely disrespected this act, completely removing any of the willing disbelief - which is a prerequisite of magic.
He's simply brilliant! Even not working as a professional in this kind of acts, he still can perform live shows in theaters.
I agree, even though he/they didn't win, I can easily see the act becoming an international success. The same people who love Tolkien for example would eat this up.
@@PeaceDweller No doubt . This reminds me of when BlueMen debuted in the 1990s on Jay Leno . These guys , if they stay at it and get the right people behind , may have a good future
How does this man not have a leading antagonist role right now
This guy is an awesome performer. He should definitely be in the movies 100%
I was ACTUALLY there and the acting was amazing me and my friend ran into her in the lobby and screamed so hard!! Seriously this acting is ASTONISHING as an audience member I have never seen anything like that before
Did you feel the judges ruined the performance with their stupid behaviour?
So incredible
Acting is so greartttt
@@PDC-yb9qs most definitely. I couldn’t hear or see most of the time
@@naimaboukhouf7357 it was so much better in real life!
The act should be invited back on the show in the finale, BUT as a surprise act. They could just make the witch appear in smoke, as if non of the judges or show knew it were coming. As if supernatural forces takeover the live show. Have the witch randomly pick a shill member of the audience, and then it sacrifices him/her to the underworld as punishment to the judges. The shill audience member will have to be good with the acting, 'please help, me...its real, she's a witch...' They could use a big sheet with hands appearing to crawl at the audience member but nothing behind it...seen it done on another magicians show...cool illusion. And just use good magician magic to make this audience member steam and smoke off into the underworld. The witch can then look at the judges, and audience, smoke appears, and hit the staff or broom on the floor and vanish. The lights all go out. That would be brilliant for this act to go onto worldwide fame, I mean infamy. The fact, the witch never talks to the judges at the end is keeping the mythology alive and using big magic to disappear as 'why would supernatural forces want to be judged by mere mortals.' He'll be good for movies, friday the 13th shows, Halloween and so on. It would also give the extra advantage that another magician can do the rescue mission. They could even use the invisible man for this.
This dude is an amazing performer...... The judges were extremely inappropriate and were ruining this guys hard work
He's not acting, nor is it a performance
Martin Portlock portrays the witch. Amazing performance! He deserves an award for this! Top notch production here! Spreading his name he needs recognition. We need more!
You can tell the judges were in fear. They had to make jokes just so they calm their nerves down. It was a cover up their true feelings of fear. 🤣 I want more of this act. Lots more. It's epic.
And the jokes were just baad💀
As judges they should know better, if anything you need to hire a different judge.
If your "judge" can't grow a pair of balls and understand the witch is there to perform an act and not literally kill you, how are scary act supposed to get anywhere on this show.
I understand humour is used as a coping mechanism, but if that person is a judge on a talent show and they resort to that coping mechanism, they need to understand that by doing so, it's taking away from the act, and that is utter disrespect.
Find new judges, bunch of wimps they have...
the one-act I was waiting for the most. Judges made a mockery out of it.
The judges ruined this for me. They made it in to a joke. I was so looking forward to this...
My exact thoughts
I agreed
His act was remarkable and Amanda was truly a professional
