ITV Britain's Got Talent Gold Buzzer magician revealed to have starred in three other versions of the show

A Britain's Got Talent magician who was awarded a Golden Buzzer has already auditioned on the franchise in three other countries, it has emerged. Japanese street magician Keiichi Iwasaki invited judge Alesha Dixon to assist him in a mind-blowing illusion, which seriously stunned the audience and all four judges.

His magic trick involved Alesha raising one finger and holding it in place while he shows off a ring. Walking away from her he then says: "This ring, your finger." Suddenly, the ring starts to levitate and move in the air towards Alesha.

Simon and the rest of the judging panel were left gobsmacked, and hosts Ant and Dec were so transfixed with the illusion that they awarded Keiichi their Golden Buzzer. However, this is not the first time that he has shown off his magic tricks on a TV talent show. It turns out that he has performed and auditioned in three other programmes.

In 2016, he auditioned for the Italian version of Britain's Got Talent before he reached the semi-finals of the Spanish version of the show. He recently performed his illusions in the Bulgarian spin-off in 2021 and recently appeared in Germany's talent programme last year: Das Supertalent.

This comes after fans of the ITV programme were left fuming after singer Loren Allred was awarded Simon's Golden Buzzer in the first round of the auditions. Despite wowing the crowds with her incredible singing, it turned out that she had previously toured with legend Andrea Bocelli, with many viewers then saying that her audition was 'cheating.'

Keiichi automatically goes through to the semi-finals thanks to the Golden Buzzer given by Ant and Dec. Britain's Got Talent airs on Saturdays at 8pm on ITV and ITV Hub
