Young Manchester magician 'saws' Amanda Holden in half on Britain's Got Talent

A young Manchester magician made his way through to the next round on Britain's Got Talent - after 'sawing' Amanda Holden in half.

Daniel Rhodes, who lives in Shaw , appeared on Saturday night's edition of the ITV show and impressed the judges with his spectacular magic trick.

The charismatic 15-year-old had the audience stunned and in stitches as he enlisted the help of BGT judge Amanda - who looked rather nervous when she realised what she was getting into to.

Dan presented Amanda with his own, home-made cardboard box, mounted on to a wooden surface, which he asked her to get into so you could only see her legs and head.

He then proceeded to 'saw' the TV star in half leaving everyone on tenterhooks before magically putting Amanda's body back together again - with the help of a few staples.

Dan even persuaded Simon Cowell to change his mind and take back the red buzzer he gave him early on in his act.

Simon said: "Dan, I'll take the 'x' back ok. I thought by buzzing things would go wrong but that didn't work.

"I feel a bit of showmanship about you, Dan. You're very confident. It did surprise me at the end so well done."

And viewers of the ITV show enjoyed the trick too.

"Aw Dan was really good, comedy and magic #BGT," said one.

Another commented: "Dan Rhodes what a guy. Great to see people who really want to go far in life. You only live once."

"Confident young lad didn't expect that trick to go well with just a cardboard box but it worked," said a third.

As he arrived on stage, Dan let everyone know that his traditional act did have an untraditional edge. He said: "Britain's Got Talent is the best show in the world in my opinion and I wanted to come on, perform my magic and try to take it to the next level."

"What you're about to see has never been seen on British television before," he adds, "What I'm about to do is a trick that I actually invented myself.

"I didn't have the budget to do an amazing illusion so I made one myself."

This isn't the teens' first time on TV.

The talented young magician starred in one of the USA's most popular entertainment shows, Little Big Shots, when he was just 13.

The show sees youngsters show off a variety of talents in front of a live audience.

Reviews for "The Role of the Sooner Athlete Mascot in Building School Pride"

1. Jane - 2 stars
As a die-hard fan of the Sooner athletics, I was beyond disappointed with the new athlete mascot. The previous mascot was this fierce, strong-looking horse that perfectly represented our team spirit. However, the new athlete mascot looked more like a cartoon character than a symbol of our university. It lacked the strength and boldness that our team stands for. I hope they reconsider and bring back the old mascot that truly embodied the essence of our athletic program.
2. Mark - 1 star
I was absolutely let down by the new Sooner athlete mascot. It felt like they were trying to modernize the image of our university, but it ended up looking like a generic superhero costume. The mascot lacks the authenticity and tradition that we associate with our team. It's a shame that they decided to change something that was already iconic and beloved by the fans. I hope they realize their mistake and bring back the old mascot that truly represented our team's heritage.
3. Sarah - 1 star
The new Sooner athlete mascot is a complete disaster. It's hard to understand why they thought it was a good idea to replace the previous beloved mascot with this weird, generic-looking character. It lacks the uniqueness and charm that the old mascot had. It feels like they just caved in to some corporate marketing gimmick instead of considering the opinions of the fans. I have been a supporter of the team for years, but this new mascot has made me question my loyalty. I truly hope they reconsider and bring back the old mascot that truly represented our team's spirit and history.
4. Alex - 2 stars
I was really excited when I heard that there would be a new Sooner athlete mascot, but my excitement quickly turned into disappointment. The new mascot looks more like a character from a kid's cartoon show than a representation of our university's athletic program. It lacks the fierceness and strength that our team embodies. I hope the university reevaluates their decision and brings back a mascot that better represents the spirit and tradition of our team.
