Good Morning Britain viewers rumble magician thanks to camera gaffe

They weren't impressed!

A magician should never reveal his tricks but one was rumbled on Good Morning Britain today thanks to a close-up camera angle!

Viewers claimed to be able to spot how social media sensation Julius Dein flipped his glasses over on the studio desk without touching them.

Presenters Eamonn Holmes and Kate Garraway were impressed by the stunt with Kate exclaiming: “What?! How did you do that?” as the specs magically moved in front of her eyes.

But those watching at home said they knew exactly how he did it – as they could see a piece of string attached to the glasses from Julius’ wrist.

Numerous people took to Twitter to point out the gaffe which was exposed when one of the ITV cameras zoomed in on the specs.

“You could see the string on his glasses #gmb,” said another with a laughing face emoji.

“Well the floating glasses trick went wrong considering I could see the string coming down from his wrist attached to the glasses. Maybe a different camera angle next time? #gmb,” recommended a third.

A fourth wrote: “This magic man has millions of fans?? You could see the bits of string attached to his glasses!! #gmb #notmagic #fail #mustdobetter”
