Britains Got Talent Liveshows - Brnolf and Ljung

Magicians Brynolf and Ljung performed in the 4th Semifinal of Britains Got Talent. They started their routine by having judge Alesha Dixon pick a DVD at Random- Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part 2. They then did a host of tricks themed around this choice- They made a group of violinists appear, playing the Harry Potter theme song. They then put together two boards standing on the side of the stage throughout to reveal a picture of  Harry Potter's Glasses. Brynolf then appeared to go up on a platform with the violinists, but then appeared at the front of the stage next to Ljung, with a Harry Potter lookalike in place. The performance was not perfect, but it was too slick and entertaining to matter. Though there is little competition, they are the best magic act Britains Got Talent has had so far. The judges agreed, with even Simon Cowell admitting he "Literally went "Wow" when you did that". Although Brynolf and Ljung didn't quite make the final, they still did the magic community proud.

Britains Got Magicians

Got Talent season is starting early this year, and, as a result, Britains Got Talent has entered the live shows three weeks earlier than usual. Among the 45 acts competing for the top prize of a place in the Royal variety show are a pair of Swedish magicians, Peter Brynolf and Jonas Ljung. Magicians haven't normally fared well on Britains Got Talent ( With the exception of David and Karen from last year's series), but Brynolf and Ljung were finallists on the Swedish version in 2009, and appeared on Penn and Teller: Fool Us last year. In the auditions, Brynolf and Ljung performed the same trick with which they fooled Penn and Teller-"The World's Most Difficult Card Trick". In it, Ljung covered Brynolf's head in duct tape. Brynolf tried to select a chosen card from the deck, but appeared to fail (In impatience, judges Simon Cowell and Alesha Dixon X'd them, but rescinded the X's after the performance). Brynolf then removed the tape from his head and revealed the signed card in his mouth. The performance was great, and they deserve their place in the top 45, but can they keep it up and make the final?

What they need to do

1. Continue to up their game. For their semi-final performance, they will need to do something big and stand out. When on Sweden's Got Talent, however, they went backwards, doing a water tank trick in their audition, but finishing off with what was merely thumbtip magic. They will need to avoid this to stand a chance against their competition, which includes several talented singers and dance acts
2. Avoid being X'd, Even a single X can really damage an act's chances. The judges (especially Simon) dislike cliched magic acts, so Brynolf and Ljung will have to remain exciting and unique to stay in the game.

My Prediction

Brynolf and Ljung are the dark horses of their heat. If they do really well, they might spring a suprise and make the final.
