I loved his first audition on the show and had no idea who X was and as soon as they showed the penguin I was like OMG! He truly is amazing. And the bond between Ant and Dec is absolutely incredible! And I'm still coming back to watch IamX perform! I am still in awe everytime I watch him perform.
OMG!!! Incredible and the moment when the camera got to the crib I knew who it was!! I loved his routine back then and also that it was Ant and Dec that gave him the Golden Buzzer and now he included them in this act. Holy moly! That just made my day! His wife and daughter have to be so proud of him, I know he's proud of them especially considering what his wife went through while pregnant and his daughter surviving it. This routine was almost if not as moving as the one he did a few years ago. So memorable and I think that's what makes a fantastic performer is creating meaningful memories that will be remembered and he just did that for me, again. I always remembered his routine but now he just tied it all in. What an incredible moment, just amazing.
I don't understand, could you explain please? I am not in the UK and have only seen BGT in clips online. Was he on the show before? Did he get through originally but did not win? Did he win this time?
@@TayTay33 I only seen the clips online as well. I'm from the USA so I'm familiar with AGT which is why I started watching BGT. He was on BGT a few years ago but not as a masked magician, he was himself. Pull up Marc Spelmann on BGT and you be able to see his first routines on the show. He really is talented.
Ik when he switched to the cot (crib) i was like what and then when he revealed himself I remember i jumped off the sofa and ran upstairs to tell my mum I actually couldn’t believe it
I love X and literally got the goosies and did not realize that I was crying at the end of his act. This guy is a genius on another level than the rest. My message is edited for I had to go back and see it again and I teared up again; this guy is entertainment at its ultimate best; bravo!!
The last one let me tear up seriously. I've had to witness years without hope, caged in depression, and betrayals of my friends, family and love. I think this guy just changed my vision to everything..
I get goosebumps EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!!! I’ve watched this a million times and it’s always the same….I get goosebumps ALL over my arms and legs!!! I’ve never felt that connection before!!
i HAVE JUST RE WATCHED THIS YET AGAIN, AND THIS CLIMAX OF THE ACT STILL MAKES ME TINGLE, brilliant performance from Marc and a pleasure to have known him, and also to have helped out in a small part of it, One of the best magic climaxes ever in the history of magic, fooled everyone, i would go as far to say these 3 shows put together is about the best magic act i have ever seen,
I always think about this magician he's amazing the last performance where it all tied in from when he was in it before and the reveal, honestly my favourite and most memorable performance on BGT. I was in shock first time I saw that and I'm still as in awe watching it now
I absolutely love how X Spelmann here came at the most unexpected times. His og performance Marc Spelmann was amazing, so Ant and Dec buzzed that golden buzzer for him! This was 2018, the year they seperated. X proved their connection was so strong even though "that" happened on 2018. They were impressed but didnt press the buzzer. 2019, year they reunited. Now, X saved his best trick for last and revealed his face. Ant and Dec probanly didnt notice that Spelmann appeared in 2018, then came back in 2019 to further strengthen their relationship! Now that's overwheleming!
@@EXISTENTIALization You made a mistake somewhere, try again. The first step, the 6 circles lead to either LAUGH, HEALTH or TRUST. Step 2- they all lead to either LIVE or LOVE, and step 3 they all lead to HEALTH or LEARN, and finally in Step 4, they all lead to HOPE.
Omg!!! I havnt watched this for aggggesss and even i picked hope!!! I cannot belive how amazing this bloke is. I literally had goosebumps watching him. He deserves the world...and more!!! What a very special person. Congrats to his wife who thankfully survived and there beautiful daughter xx
OMG! I just watched his audition with his wife and baby, skipped around and watched some other random videos and then clicked on this video. I cannot believe I was brought back to him! I am stunned! wow.
I wonder if he didn't reveal his face in the semi-final, if he would have won. Like take it to the end as anonymous and then reveal if he wins. He deserves to win after such great performances!
AMAZING! Amazing, brilliant magician. From his first audition I was entranced by him. This "X" persona is brilliant and shows how hard he has worked and how far he has come with his magic since he first auditioned. I am amazed by him.
I had to watch the video again! I mean it is really unbelievable how Ant and Dec are connected! And to see the surprise in Decs eyes when he gets the electric shock too! That’s just great! :D
Do it 8 times for each circle and you will always get the same result. It’s not rocket science. Sorry if that sounds rude but you do go on like it’s the most amazing thing that’s ever been on tv by the way you say you’re on the floor, like absolutely blown away.
WOOOW 😍😘☺🌹❤Absolutely Amazing!! He brought tears 😢to my eyes again. This act was fabulous.. My mouth fell open just like everyone else😲😯🤭 After his first act I wondered how he was going to top it 🤔...X was FANTASTIC 👏👏👏👏.. hope there's more ... would love to see him live.
the squares and circles are combined in such a way with an instruction, that no matter what you choose as a starting point, you end up at hope. brilliant idea!
Incredible, awesome, magnificent, omg he gave an on core performance tremendously well done it was mind Blowing it has wonderful you were in suspense and then he just put everything together on it was fabulous.
@@MarcSpelmann God blesses you and your family sir. Hope is a beautiful and powerful name. My two daughters were christened with the name HOPE / ESPERANZA🙏🙏🙏😇
This is the act that always shocks me, the way it all tied together and edited on the final act was incredible, I would have loved for him to win this after that performance though. I hope he's doing well, and I want to see more by him!
I loved his first appearance & then this one blew it out of the box! I so wished he would of won that year. He came back even better with _hope_ for a chance of winning due to his uniqueness & great performances but unfortunately, it didn't happen. I hope he's still very successful & doing what he loves to do while making a killing doing it 💕
I love this man, hope is really the only way we can believe, love and care. I don't know how you do what you do but you sure had everyone guessing. Good Luck. And hope you never change.
@@NightFury11818 idk how you worked that one out bud... the trick is the diagonal move, you will always move diagonally to the middle row of squares, from there they say move left to the only circle on the row, aka HOPE.
@@samlay6049 choose a circle as a starting point, move left or right to square, up or down to nearest circle, diagonally to nearest square, then left or right to nearest circle from 'feel', there is no square to the left or right, your next move is immediately up or down and it's down to 'hope', then diagonally to 'trust', then right to 'love' edit: though, if you skip circles to the next square then yea, the trick works.
@@NightFury11818 its not directly beside u dumbass, u go over the circle beside it until u get to the square, r u stupid? , hence "TO THE NEAREST" dumb fuck.
The first time i got hope...after that i tried to change it and it wasn’t hope...this is good because not everytime you get hope...it’s just the first time i got it..Amazing!!
You always get 'Hope'. If you didn't you did it wrong. It's a cheap trick and not even clever. I first encountered a similar trick in elementary school where I was told to think of a number between 1 and 10, then do some steps and regardless of what number I picked I'll have '1' as the answer. It amazes you the first time and then you know something is fishy if at a trick everyone gets the same answer. Just for reference it's add 2, multiply by 2, substract 2, divide by 2 and finally substract your original number. If you tell me your penultimate number I can even tell you your original number.
I love how he gets Ant and Dec on stage every time…he has a soft spot for them! Lol
yep and amazing that both had time to change clothes 4 times in seconds.
Hello how are you doing today, It's nice meeting you here where are you originally from?
Yep, they were the ones who pressed the Golden Buzzed for Marc’s audition
Its so cute that Ant was immediately like ‘its us’ when the magician said about having an ‘undeniable bond’ and he was just saying it to be sweet, not even really thinking it would be them ahahap
He was in on the trick

and Dec said "they're all different" before he was instructed to determine whether they were all different
