How did magician Elizabeth perform THAT trick on BGT?

Britain's Got Talent viewers were left shaking in their seats as they watched Amanda Holden freak out during the show's scariest ever audition.

And watching it back at home, Amanda, 48, told her followers she "peed her pants" as spooky magician Elizabeth transformed  into a woman who died more than 100 years ago.

Amanda along with her fellow judges Alesha Dixon, David Walliams and Simon Cowell were left feeling irked before the performance as the lights in the auditorium began flickering.

As the atmosphere built, magician Elizabeth appeared on stage and singled out Amanda, handing her an old journal before leading her to a dark room.

Amanda shrieked: "I'm scared, I'm scared", as she was separated from her fellow judges and sat at a table, which was covered in old pictures.

Elizabeth revealed that the people in the photos died over 100 years ago and asked the presenter to count them face down, until she felt a connection to one of the pics.

Placing the picture into a cigar box, the snap had the words "Agatha Turner 1860" scrawled across the front, and was also described in a bookmarked page in the journal.

Utterly rattled, Amanda looked over her shoulder to see "Agatha Turner" written across the wall, before she realised Elizabeth has turned into the ghost of Agatha.

The actress then screamed in horror as Agatha grabbed her arm, to which she began crying: "Oh my God I want to go home."

As Amanda shrieked, her fellow judges and the audience are watched the trick unfold through a video link in the theatre.Shaking as she returned to the judges' table, Amanda was left with one last fright as the ghost turned back into the magician.

After letting out one last shriek, she admitted: "It was horrific and brilliant."

And it seemed Simon, David and Alesha were equally impressed and spooked as they described the act as "amazing".

While Alesha added: "It was the most scary act we've ever had on the show and I want to see more."

And many have been left wondering how Elizabeth managed to pull off the terrifying trick.

But unfortunately, we as the audience will never know as the magician never reveals their secret.
