Britain’s Got Talent fans are convinced they’ve rumbled how contestant Damien O’Brien performed his act on Saturday’s show – and figured out David Walliams’ PIN at the same time.
Damien, whose day job is as a personal trainer, got judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams to pick dates that were special to them.
BGT boss Simon, 60, was up first and he chose February 14, which was the date his six-year-old son Eric was born.
Damien had Little Britain star David type that date into a calculator on the contestant’s phone, before moving on to Amanda, who chose December 10, the date she married her husband.
The magician then got David to press multiply.

Alesha later chose October 1, the date her daughter was born, and David was then asked by Damien to add that date into the calculator too, before pressing divide.
Damien then asked a suspicious-looking David to get his credit card out of his pocket and add his PIN into the equation.
Ensuring the camera was facing away, the comedian typed in the four-digit code and then pressed equals, and the number that popped up on the screen was 71,059.
Damien then took David’s bank card and somehow slid it through the phone, which he then passed to Simon.
BGT fans are convinced they’ve “worked out” magician Damien’s trick
When Damien picked it back up from Simon’s hands, it was just a piece of metal, with a very clear number engraved on it, 71059.
The contestant then had Simon announce to the crowd what his birthday was, and the shocked music mogul revealed it was October 7, 1959.
But some ITV viewers immediately took to Twitter to point out that he could have exposed David’s PIN, despite going to every length to ensure nobody could figure it out.

One worried BGT fan penned: “He does realise people can do maths and work out what David’s PIN number is from those numbers? David needs to be on his online banking straight away.”
“Pretty sure you could work out David Walliams’ pin from that little equation!” noted another.
And a third added: “So the whole of the UK now knows David’s PIN number.”
Meanwhile, other’s thought they had figured out how the magician did his magic trick.
They suggested that he could have easily predicted the dates that the judges would choose, and searched online to see their special anniversaries and children’s birthdays, while others were convinced it was all the job of a special app.
One wrote: “So he’s taken 20 minutes to show us he’s got an iPhone app that displays “71059” whenever you press the equals sign?”
“Hmmm, I wonder what we can google to find out dates, added another.
“All information he searched on Google beforehand”, a third fan predicted.
“I’m not normally big on people revealing how magic tricks are don but you must have had a lobotomy not to be able to work that one out” joked another.”
Britain’s Got Talent will be back with the live shows later this year.
