Alan Hudson is a comedic magician who participated in Series 14 of Britain's Got Talent. He was aged forty five at the time of his audition.
In his audition he asked Amanda to join him upon the stage. He then provided Amanda with a pen and asked her to write her initials on a card. Alan then shuffled the cards before spinning a card that was not Amanda’s card within the pack from his right hand to his left hand. He gave the card to Amanda who then showed the audience it had turned in to the signed card which was the letters AH. Alan then placed the card back in the pack and then placed the pack on the floor. Amanda then had to circle clingfilm around Alan’s body. The playing cards then erupted over the stage and the card Amanda signed landed behind the clingfilm on Alan's chest. David commented that Alan were a very ‘funny man', with Amanda describing his performance as ‘Dishevelled magic.’ He advanced onto the following round, however he failed to reach the Semi-Finals.
Immediately after his audition his wife Kat Hudson auditioned for the show.
