He stunned both the audience and the judges at his first audition with an amazing illusion involving birds of the human and feathered kind. <\/p>\n<p>His audition YouTube video has so far received over 24 million views, justifying Simon Cowell\u2019s claim that he is the best magician that has ever appeared on the show.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking a head of tonight\u2019s semi-finals, Darcy was asked about his thoughts of making it into the live finals.<\/p>\n<p>He told Metro news:  \u2018I\u2019m trying not to think of it as a competition, I\u2019m thinking more about trying to do a performance I\u2019m artistically satisfied with.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Tonight the magician amazed us again with his disappearing illusion. Promising \u2018no fancy costumes, no dancing girls, no bog boxes, just pure illusion\u2019 Darcy started his act. He climbed upon a podium, hid under a sheet and with a large screen behind him, showing camera angles from the back, he proceeded no just to disappear but to reappear in the wings wearing headphones and a jacket and looking like stage crew.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/files\/2014\/05\/darcy.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/files\/2014\/05\/darcy.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"darcy\" width=\"570\" height=\"314\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7202\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/files\/2014\/05\/darcy.png 570w, http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/files\/2014\/05\/darcy-300x165.png 300w, http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/files\/2014\/05\/darcy-200x110.png 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-0466605792016836\";\n\/* auditions 300x250, created 9\/6\/10 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"7469702309\";\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><\/p>\n<p>[imagebrowser id=12]<\/p>\n<div class=\"linkwithin_hook\" id=\"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/7162\/darcy-oake-vanishing-act-impressed-on-the-semi-finals-off-britains-got-talent-2014\/\"><\/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>After is stunning BGT audition, it was no surprise to anyone that Darcy Oake made it to this year\u2019s Britain\u2019s Got Talent semifinals.
