Review: Ben Blaque auditions for BGT, puts Simon Cowell in firing line (Includes first-hand account)

Blaque’s audition may be seen below on the British reality competition’s official YouTube channel.

As soon as he took the Britain’s Got Talent stage, Blaque invited critical judge Simon Cowell to give him a helping help with his crossbow demonstration, which he performed blindfolded. The result was electrifying, and in the end, Blaque emerged as a modern-day William Tell.

His fascinating performance garnered a standing ovation from the audience in the venue, and left all four judges in awe, including Cowell, who jokingly told him “you are nuts.” It earned an “A” rating and it is a substantial indication that Blaque deserves to be in the finals.

For his extraordinary talents, Blaque has been praised by such acclaimed British magicians as James More and Jamie Raven, who was a runner-up winner of the ninth season of Britain’s Got Talent.
