As the ITV show moves to Blackpool tonight for the second round of auditions, it is one young magician that leaves the talent show judge completely stumped.
Despite the latest instalment also including scooter tricks and a mini musical, it is devoted Harry Potter fan Issy Simpson that has the panel talking.
The youngster enchants them with a series of stunts, ending in an impressive twist on a traditional card trick.
Simon, 57, will even find himself asking for a five-second breather to get his head around what happened, after she presents him with an almost-empty cardboard box too heavy to lift.

Meanwhile, the music mogul and his co-stars Amanda Holden, David Walliams and Alesha Dixon will be put through another roller coaster of emotion as they watch the hopefuls bid for a slot at the Royal Variety Performance.
In the pre-recorded show, Amanda, 46, is left with her "heart in her mouth" as she watches Charlie, nine, somersault with a scooter.
However, Simon looks less impressed by an act who shares his name but not his idea of talent, choosing to present his party piece by sticking spoons to his face.
