Britain’s Got Talent viewers think they’ve rumbled magician Ben Hart’s egg trick

Britain’s Got Talent viewers were left stunned on Saturday, thanks to magician Ben Hart’s mysterious audition.

There were two big tricks during his act that left viewers wondering how on earth he pulled off his performance.

He started by turning a piece of confetti into an egg, before pouring its contents into a glass and leaving the judges baffled.

Ben then moved on to another trick that saw him teleport a member of the audience from one metal cage to another.

Viewers were quick to suggest they had worked out the latter trick, having seen the same manoeuvre in a film named The Prestige.

They suspected the audience member was in fact known to Ben, before believing she was an identical twin, hence her surprise movement across the stage.

But it was actually his trick involving the egg that really sparked confusion, with many desperate to know how he managed to turn a piece of paper into an egg.

Now, fans have shared their theories as other viewers commented how they had seen the same or a similar trick performed before.

Taking to Twitter after the audition, one viewer claimed that the egg was in fact made from “egg skin”, therefore making it inflatable when he waved the fan.

Another viewer claimed a small helium balloon was used, before being swapped out for a real egg.

The fan commented that the balloon would have already been on the fan used to inflate it, but hidden from view until being swapped by the original confetti in a “sleight of hand”.

Meanwhile, another fan pointed out the more plausible theory that Ben used a fake egg made from latex, which starts off flat and begins to inflate via the fan.

It’s then that the balloon begins to grow to full size, before the camera work prevents viewers from seeing Ben remove it and swap it out for the real egg.

Either way, the trick was pretty impressive with viewers still baffled by how he really did it.

Britain’s Got Talent continues Saturday at 8pm on ITV.
