Britain\u2019s Got Talent<\/a> viewers were left saying the same thing minutes into tonight’s show.<\/p>\n

The royal variety program returned tonight with Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, KSI, <\/a>and Alesha Dixon on the hunt for the UK\u2019s biggest talent.<\/p>\n

As the audition stages continued, hundreds of acts <\/a>hoped to follow <\/a>in the footsteps of Paul Potts and Susan Boyle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hoping to gain the same success as last year\u2019s winner, magician Harry Moulding, a group of magicians showed their talents on the stage.<\/p>\n

The trio, called the Maverick Magicians, were hoping to \u201cput as many smiles on as many faces as we can\u201d and perform around the world<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"KSI<\/p>\n

However, fans weren\u2019t 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\u2019s name on a piece of paper.<\/p>\n

Viewers were left fuming that the act was \u201cboring\u201d, as one wrote: \u201cI\u2019m bored with magic now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another said, \u201cBoring and it would take too long at Royal Variety.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Britain's<\/p>\n

Yet another wrote: \u201cWell, that was a rubbish act! Also longer than 2 minutes,\u201d as someone else claimed: \u201cWhat a load of fake, fixed c***.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJust get on with it,\u201d one viewer said, as someone else added: \u201cBit long winded.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYawn,\u201d several echoed, with yet another viewer writing: \u201cSorry, but I\u2019m over magicians.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another said, \u201cMaverick Magicians – I bet if you were there, it was great, but sat at home, I was bored.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

Others disagreed with the bad reviews, as one said: \u201cMaverick Magicians, that was good!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"KSI\"<\/p>\n

The internet star was left speechless (Image: ITV)<\/p>\n

Someone else wrote: \u201cThat was ok though!\u201d as another commented: \u201cHoly s**t. They\u2019re awesome and pretty hot too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite viewer reactions, the judges were impressed by Maverick Magicians, with KSI stunned to discover his friend\u2019s name on the piece of paper.<\/p>\n

KSI admitted he was \u201clost for words,\u201d saying: \u201cThat was incredible. A huge yes from me.\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s unbelievable,\u201d Simon added, saying he was \u201cblown away\u201d, while Amanda called it \u201cexciting\u201d.<\/p>\n
