- Many viewers on X said they were bored of magician acts and argued the long routine would not suit the short slot at the Royal Variety Performance.
- Others claimed they had worked out the method, suggesting a note hidden in a hammer or placed under the table, and questioned why the paper looked dry.
- Singers Kristel and Nic Vani drew strong praise from judges and viewers, with fans saying they were robbed of Golden Buzzers that send acts straight to the live shows.
