YouTuber KSI has said an illusion act by a Britain\u2019s Got Talent (BGT) semi-finalist is \u201cone of the most incredible things\u201d he has ever seen in his life.<\/p>\n

Magician Fabian Fox was praised on Saturday night for his act which featured an appearance from the YouTuber\u2019s primary school teacher.<\/p>\n

The semi-final on Saturday night saw Fox ask the judges to pick a number of letters and numbers before he \u201ctime travelled\u201d by driving a motorcycle onto a cage which was suspended in the air.<\/p>\n

Within seconds he vanished and appeared in the crowd before returning on stage to play a video of his \u201ctrip\u201d.<\/p>\n

The video showed Fabian at KSI\u2019s primary school after the first sequence of numbers and letters spelled out its postcode.<\/p>\n

He later entered one of the classrooms where he rearranged the second sequence that was written out by the judges and spelled out KSI\u2019s former music teacher\u2019s name, Mrs Batts.<\/p>\n

She appeared in the video and was asked to write out a mystery word which was placed in an envelope.<\/p>\n

Fabian then asked KSI to read out the word he wrote out at the start of the act before revealing that they both had \u201cgamer\u201d written out.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIf I had the power to press the golden button, I would.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is honestly one of the most incredible, incredible things I\u2019ve ever seen in my life.<\/p>\n

His thoughts were echoed by the judging panel, Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon, who praised Fabian for his thoughtful act.<\/p>\n

Dixon said: \u201cYou took us on a real journey and I loved all the really small details, the fact that you had that epic moment with the bike and gave us the drama.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou made it personable. I liked you in the audition round, but I love you now. I think when it mattered, you brought it. Well done, brilliant.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holden added: \u201cThere is just an ease and a charm to you.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll I kept thinking about was the Royal Variety Show and how that would just look so cool on it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Simon Cowell said he thought the performance was \u201creally clever and really brilliant\u201d before being interrupted by the roar of the audience.<\/p>\n
