Britain’s Got Talent’s mysterious magician The Hacker is former show star, claim fans
BRITAIN’S Got Talent fans say they have worked out the identity of the mysterious magician The Hacker.
They are convinced the man behind the mask is a former BGT finalist who previously wowed viewers in 2019.
The Hacker was introduced to viewers on Saturday night when he completed a trick using Simon Cowell.
The fun started when the masked magician – who has a funny robotic northern voice – called the head judge on stage and said: “It’s time for the judge to be judged.”
Simon was then led through a mind-bending array of magic tricks, which ended with him being showered in confetti as he was awarded the Golden Buzzer for getting The Hacker’s trick right.
After the trick was done, fans immediately rushed to social media to claim that they had sussed out who was behind the mask – and they believed it was a former BGT star.
Taking to Twitter/X one wrote: “The Hacker is defo Marc Spelmann, it has to be!”
Another tweeted: “Once all them items was on that screen, I thought it has to be Marc Spelmann.”
This one said: “Oh God this isn’t that Marc Spellman for a 50th attempt is it? #bgt.”
Another was convinced: “Marc Spelmann is The Hacker! I’d bet my hat on it!”
This person added: “Is that Marc Spelmann?”
Much like The Hacker, Marc Spelmann also concealed his face with a mask on BGT and went by the mysterious name, Magician X.
He wowed fans throughout the competition and made it to the final in 2019.
It wasn’t until then that he finally removed his mask to reveal his identity.
Marc has since described the moment as the “best ever”.
Speaking to The Mirror, he added: “TV doesn’t do it justice. It was like a roar in a colosseum when the mask came off. It was really, really special.
“I’ve been an entertainer for 25 years and it was one of those moments that will stay with me until my last breath.”
Despite his efforts, Marc failed to win the public vote and placed runner-up to winner Colin Thackery.
