Britain’s Got Talent finalist Rafferty Coope has joined the cast of London magic show Now You See Me Live.

The 17-year-old, who mixes magic and music in his act, will appear as a special guest act in the show at London Coliseum from Friday until September 6.

The show is based on the film series of the same name which birthed three heist films in Now You See Me (2013), Now You See Me 2 (2016) and Now You See Me: Now You Don’t (2025).

Coope said: “The Now You See Me films were a massive part of my childhood, which helped get me hooked on magic.

“It blows my mind to think that I will be performing in Now You See Me Live at the London Coliseum in the West End this summer.

“It’s a huge honour to perform in this show with some of the best magical talent in the world.

“I can’t wait to get started and to share that incredible magical feeling I got from watching the films, on stage, with as many people as possible. Remember, ‘the closer you look, the less you see’.”

The magician received the golden buzzer from judge KSI on the ITV talent show following a piano-led card trick in his audition, making it to the final where he finished in fifth place.

The show’s executive producer Tim Lawson added: ““We are thrilled to welcome Rafferty Coope to the show’s spectacular line-up.

“Rafferty won everybody’s heart on Britain’s Got Talent and we know he will cast the same magic spell on our audiences at the London Coliseum this summer.”

Coope will also represent NOW YOU SEE ME LIVE at this year’s West End Live in Trafalgar Square.

Tickets for Now You See Me Live are on sale now from the show’s website.
