Phelan - who took to the stage with his own magic act in front of judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, David Walliams and Alesha Dixon - revealed the news to Radio Times ahead of Daniels' death last month, citing his uncle and auntie as major influences. I’ve never really watched any other magicians.” “I’ve got a video, a VHS of my uncle playing the palladium in about 1979, and it is him, the stage, a box and that’s it. Whereas now, as long as I’m a good magician, it’s less sort of pressure on that front.” Britain's Got Talent returns to ITV on Saturday 9 April.
