Britain’s Got Talent viewers were left saying the same thing minutes into tonight’s show.
The royal variety program returned tonight with Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, KSI, and Alesha Dixon on the hunt for the UK’s biggest talent.
As the audition stages continued, hundreds of acts hoped to follow in the footsteps of Paul Potts and Susan Boyle.
Hoping to gain the same success as last year’s winner, magician Harry Moulding, a group of magicians showed their talents on the stage.
The trio, called the Maverick Magicians, were hoping to “put as many smiles on as many faces as we can” and perform around the world.

However, fans weren’t left too impressed by their routine, which involved taking Simon Cowell outside of the arena to buy a watermelon, before revealing that the same watermelon held a hidden message connected to KSI, after he wrote down a school friend’s name on a piece of paper.
Viewers were left fuming that the act was “boring”, as one wrote: “I’m bored with magic now.”
Another said, “Boring and it would take too long at Royal Variety.”

Yet another wrote: “Well, that was a rubbish act! Also longer than 2 minutes,” as someone else claimed: “What a load of fake, fixed c***.”
“Just get on with it,” one viewer said, as someone else added: “Bit long winded.”
“Yawn,” several echoed, with yet another viewer writing: “Sorry, but I’m over magicians.”

Another said, “Maverick Magicians – I bet if you were there, it was great, but sat at home, I was bored.”
Some viewers, meanwhile, claimed they had worked out the secret behind the magic trick, as one claimed: “The piece of paper was obviously already on the floor under the guy’s foot,” while another said: “I bet the note was in the Hammer, definitely staged.”
Others disagreed with the bad reviews, as one said: “Maverick Magicians, that was good!”

Someone else wrote: “That was ok though!” as another commented: “Holy s**t. They’re awesome and pretty hot too.”
Despite viewer reactions, the judges were impressed by Maverick Magicians, with KSI stunned to discover his friend’s name on the piece of paper.
KSI admitted he was “lost for words,” saying: “That was incredible. A huge yes from me.” “That’s unbelievable,” Simon added, saying he was “blown away”, while Amanda called it “exciting”.
Britain’s Got Talent continues next Saturday at 6.45pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
