In just a few minutes, Marc from North London proved that magic isn’t just about tricks—it’s about heart, hope, and something truly unforgettable.
Marc, a 46-year-old father and magician, arrived on stage with quiet confidence and one powerful question: “What would it be like to experience real magic?” By the end of his performance, the answer left the judges stunned and the audience in tears.
But it didn’t start with fireworks or dramatic flair. It began with a Rubik’s Cube, a handful of crayons, a children’s card game—and a simple book. One by one, he invited each judge into his act: Amanda mixed a Rubik’s Cube, David chose a random crayon, Alesha picked a card, and Simon unknowingly circled a word in a book.
It seemed like a clever series of illusions—until the final reveal.
As suspense built, Marc slowly revealed that every “random” selection had been predicted… by his two-year-old daughter.
From the color red to the word “hat,” the seemingly impossible sequence matched exactly what she had predicted—two years earlier.
Then came the emotional gut-punch. This wasn’t just a magic trick. It was a moment of love and gratitude from a father to his daughter—his “real magic”—who had been through a difficult health battle. With raw emotion in his voice, Marc dedicated the performance to her, leaving judge Simon Cowell visibly moved.
“You’ve just taken magic to a whole new level,” Cowell said. “This is going to change your life.”

What We Learned: Real magic isn’t always in the trick. Sometimes, it’s in the story behind it—the love, the pain, and the hope that something good can still happen. Marc reminded the world that the greatest magic is the one we carry in our hearts.
