How did he do that?<\/p>\n<p>The 42 year old illusionist from Suffolk stood out from the crowed dressed head to toe in shocking pink. He explained his look to Ant and Dec saying:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s kind of Primark meets Versace\u2026it\u2019s like Primace!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stevie went on to introduce is act \u00a0revealing:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday I will be performing a levitation illusion with the help of my two assistants, Chelsea and Matthew. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe big dream is to have my own touring show called \u2018The Fantasy Men Of Magic\u2019 with Chippendale type dancers and myself providing the illusions. That\u2019s the dream.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The illusionist started his performance \u00a0by summoning a scantily clad lady onto the stage and as Dirty Dancing\u2019s \u2018She\u2019s Like The Wind\u2019 played in the background.<\/p>\n<p>The opening to his act did not impress Alesha Dixon or Amanda Holden because they both buzzed before he really got going. \u00a0Stevie went on to make his assistant levitate and spin in the air and left everyone wondering how he did it.<\/p>\n<p>After the performance, both of judges \u00a0apologised for buzzing and Amanda Holden insisted that in the end the act was \u2018really good.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Alesha Dixon admitted that she found the presentation a little \u2018tacky\u2019 but she enjoyed the tricks, as did the other two judges Simon Cowell and David Walliams who branded Stevie a \u2018really brilliant magician.\u2019 He also liked his use of a sexy assistant, to appeal to male viewers.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"ca-pub-0466605792016836\";\n\/* bgt *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"9452887434\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 300;\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"330\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4tbwX9aAFWs?feature=player_embedded\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"linkwithin_hook\" id=\"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/5940\/steve-pink-and-his-little-dog-brought-magic-to-the-britains-got-talent-2013-auditions\/\"><\/div><script>\n<!-- \/\/LinkWithinCodeStart\nvar linkwithin_site_id = 1805371;\nvar linkwithin_div_class = \"linkwithin_hook\";\n\/\/LinkWithinCodeEnd -->\n<\/script>\n<script src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/widget.js\"><\/script>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/pixel.png\" alt=\"Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...\" style=\"border: 0\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the years Britain\u2019s Got Talent have struggled to find really good magicians with an act that leaves you breathless and asking the question \u00a0\u2018How did he\/she do that?\u2019 Well, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n<script>\n<!-- \/\/LinkWithinCodeStart\nvar linkwithin_site_id = 1805371;\nvar linkwithin_div_class = \"linkwithin_hook\";\n\/\/LinkWithinCodeEnd -->\n<\/script>\n<script src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/widget.js\"><\/script>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/pixel.png\" alt=\"Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...\" style=\"border: 0\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5944,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5940","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","clearfix"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/files\/2013\/05\/steviepinkandhisdog-magic.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5940","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5940"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5940\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5948,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5940\/revisions\/5948"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5944"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5940"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5940"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5940"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
