Getting the Britain's Got Talent judges involved in acts is always a good way to get their attention. But a couple on this week's episode took it absolutely next level with their unreal mind reading trick.
James Harrington and Marina Milani make up Mind2Mind, a mind reading couple who have not only learned to read each others minds, but also have learned how to teach others to as well.
They begin with a fairly standard trick. It's good, but pretty standard.

James, from Milton Keynes, starts by blindfolding his partner, and then going to Amanda Holden's seat. He asks her to have a rummage in her bag and pull out a couple of items. She gets out a phone charger.
Marina rightly guesses that he pulls out a phone charger. So far - alright. She then pulls out some lovely Tom Ford perfume (my fave in case anyone wondered, hint) - Marina starts by saying she can 'taste' something, then corrects herself and says she can 'smell' it.
As a side note - this gives way to arguably one of the best cutaways of all time, with one guy in the audience not having any of it at all, and showing it with the best 'this is bullshit' expression I've seen in my whole life.

Then she guesses it right - obvs.
Then it ramps up a bit. They actually get Amanda up on stage, with James going to Simon's table. Marina asks her to pick a number between one and 100, and hands her a phone. The phone has a note on it with a list 100 countries on, numbered to 100.
Amanda picks 97 - Italy, but doesn't say it out loud. Marina tells her to think the name of the country in her head.

Then her and James do a weird hand movement like they're passing the thought, and James asks if he's getting anything. He says he is and writes something down on a card.
Who'd have thought it. He's written 'Italy'. Amanda then reveals that it was in fact what she was thinking, and they both look pretty bloody amazed, as does the audience.
Obviously, the judges give them four yeses.

Amanda says: "I have no idea how you did that. I think the act and your chemistry and the whole thing felt very mysterious and spooky and it was absolutely amazing, so well done."
I want to believe in it, I really do, but the sceptic in me wonders why Amanda had her bag with her and not backstage.
Either way, very entertaining, guys.
