A Britain’s Got Talent magician left Simon Cowell stunned when he reunited the star with the very same sports car he owned 30 years ago.
In scenes airing this Sunday, Trixy, an electrical engineer and father of two, promises to create a “magical moment in time.”
The magician borrows the watch of newest BGT judge Bruno Tonioli and begins the breathtaking trick, using 50 photos from Simon’s life.
Trixy shows a photo of the vintage red car, a 1971 Triumph TR6, and Simon admits: ‘That’s one of my favorite cars ever’ – shortly before the magical reunion.
The media mogul is then taken outside the London Palladium theater where he is reunited with the sporty bike, which is waiting for him on the red carpet. Simon is visibly stunned and so delighted that he kisses the hood of the vehicle.

The scenes broadcast during Sunday’s show during the audition rounds of Britain’s Got Talent continue on ITV1, with acts competing for a place in the live semi-finals.
In May, car enthusiast Simon unveiled his £230,000 fleet of electric vehicles when he posted a photo of himself on an e-bike alongside his car collection.
The jury of Britain’s Got Talent revealed all the fun names he’s given his electric vehicles in the caption below.
Simon wrote: ‘Meet (from left to right) Buzz, Mouse and Flea and my bike called Spitz. They are all electric, including my bike. And they’re all a blast to drive!’
Simon’s mint green fully electric Volkswagen ID. Buzz, with a range of up to 250 miles, retails from £59,035.00 to £63,835.00 depending on specification.
His burgundy Mini eMastered – which he calls Mouse – is a bespoke, all-electric version of the updated classic Mini, produced by David Brown, and costs around £125,000.
Simon’s sporty new Abarth 500e from Fiat, called Flea, only has a range of 155 miles, but also has a lower RRP from £34,195 to £38,695.
When his Mini eMastered was finally delivered to him in October 2023, Simon said: ‘This has always been my dream car. It was on my wish list; One day I wanted to have a classic Mini. Then I read about this company and I thought: I have to have one of those too.
In May, Simon unveiled his £230,000 fleet of electric vehicles when he posted a photo of himself on an e-bike alongside his car collection.
‘I have to say, of all the cars I’ve ever owned in my life, this is my favorite, this is a keeper.
‘When I went to the factory you could see that everyone had really put their heart and soul into this, there is so much passion behind it… you know this car has character.’
The classic-style Mini was built as a replica of the Lotus Esprit Turbo driven by Sir Roger Moore in the 1981 film For Your Eyes Only.
The music mogul is said to have given his Mini a new look with the help of his climate-conscious son Eric, whom he shares with his fiancée Lauren Silverman.
Simon, known for his gas-guzzling Rolls-Royce Phantoms, previously told how he bought an electric Tesla after Eric taught him about climate change.
According to The mirrorhe said last year Britain’s Got Talent auditions: ‘My son is obsessed with climate change, he has taught me a lot lately.
‘He goes to the beaches and cleans them. I think it’s something we all need to take seriously right now. I just bought a Tesla.”
The entrepreneur’s jaw-dropping car collection is also thought to exist a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, a Jaguar Eagle Speedster and a Bugatti Veyron.
