Alexandra kicked off her trick with her mouth taped shut, before taping ‘s closed too.

His fellow panelist , 54, sparked a series of cheers from the audience while , 46, chanted: “Go on girl.”

She then gave the 65-year-old a laser pen and asked him to choose a card, which she then turned over to reveal the word Fierce.

The Canadian then pulled the masking tape off mouth, which also revealed the same word underneath.

Amanda then gushed “wow” as the audience burst into a round of applause.

The trick involved cards on a board, but some viewers think they spotted how she did it.

One viewer posted: “All that build up to a simple card switch.”

Another agreed: “Just saw the switch there.”

A third added: “They cutaway from the close up when she did the card switch on the first trick.”

This one explained the trick further: “The card to the left next to the card under the card Simon picked appears to have two cards together. You can see the edge of the 2nd card there.

“If you freeze the video, you can see that there are other cards with what appears to show two cards attached.

“I see at least 4 of them. She could have the word Fierce written on the back card, and she switched it out when she picked the card up with her back to the audience before she showed the card to the audience.”

FIX CLAIMS

Meanwhile, it comes after after fans realised that Alexandra had appeared on three other similar shows.

Despite their amazement at her act, some fans were quick to expose her reality TV past.

They revealed how she was first spotted on Canada‘s Got Talent – a show on which she has featured twice.

Just last year, she reached the semi final stage of BGT's sister show.

Alex has also found further fame as part of celebrated magician duo Penn and Teller's US TV series Fool Us, two years ago.

One fan was quick to take to YouTube to call out a “fix” as one put “so obviously rigged”.

Another moaned: “Nothing against the woman, BUT this act has already been on Canada Got Talent TWICE… once as an assistant and 2nd was on her own.

“Far as I know she got as far as the semi finals. She’s also been on Penn & Teller’s show.”

One then ranted: “Such a poor magic act and NOT ORIGINAL,” as another referenced her Penn and Teller skit and said: “Does she do anything else?”

A fan then mused: “Knew I’d seen her before. She did the exact same act on Penn and Teller's Fool Us.”

BGT continues on ITVX on Saturday.
