'The idea was good but the execution was not': Britain's Got Talent viewers slam singing magician as 'boring' and claim they have figured out his trick
Britain's Got Talent viewers have criticised one of the contestants, after they appeared to figure out his magic trick.
Lewis Fuller returned to the stage on Tuesday night for the semi-final in a bid to gain a spot in the grand final with his unique combination of singing and magic.
However, he failed to impress with his teleportation and telepathy trick, with viewers slamming it as 'boring' and 'cheesy'.
He asked judges Amanda Holden and Simon Cowell to pick song titles out of a bag, which he then guessed correctly.
Using Amanda's ring, Lewis set it alight to represent her song choice, Ring Of Fire by Johnny Cash.

He then performed Simon's song and used his teleportation skills as he appeared to move around the stage whilst singing.
The magician then seemed to vanish and then suddenly appear behind the judges at the end.
But viewers at home complained that the solution to the trick was obvious, stating that the images of Lewis on stage were clearly pre-recorded videos.
One said: 'He used a pre record of himself on the box, went down the trap door and there ya have it?'
Another agreed, saying: 'Lewis Fuller - his audition was way better, like 100 times better. The boxes on stage were just video'.
Others echoed that his audition had been superior, with one writing: 'Shame about Lewis Fuller. If he had done what he had in the audition, he'd have won the entire night. Amanda and Alesha ruined his act by calling it 'too cheesy'.'
Another added: 'Lewis is great - however I found his audition better then this performance. The magic was too drawn out from the beginning and I'm not keen on his voice either. He should just stick with the magic and that's it. The singing isn't needed.'
Someone else penned: 'I'm sorry but Lewis Fuller you're fit af but so cringe & cheesy. Your audition was better than this performance tonight!!'
A sixth sympathised: 'Aww I feel a bit sorry for Lewis.. the idea was good but the execution was not so'.
But several fans praised Lewis' efforts, with one tweeting: 'Honestly first half was a bit underwhelming, but when he did the singing and magic from his audition again it was utterly astounding. No idea how Lewis Fuller does any of that magic.'

The judges were similarly disappointed by the performance, with Alesha Dixon saying: 'If I'm being honest I don't think this is my cup of tea, but well done for trying something new.'
Amanda said she agreed with Alesha, but kindly added: 'You have great showmanship.'
Lewis failed to make it to the final, with the two spots being taken by Viggo Venn and Olivia Lynes instead.
They will join dancer Musa Motha and singer Amy Lou Smith on June 4, for a chance to win a cash prize of £250,000 and a spot in the annual Royal Variety Performance.
