The last one at least, I have seen some "documentaries" how they do them, and I am very cynical of these. They are basically able to hold their breath under water; all else is fake props and hidden keys. People crying and anxious, it's nonsense—they just fear their own inability to hold breath. And that's a skill you develop very easily when you practice.
The quickchange thing has been done before, either on BGT or AGT. And it's the kind of thing you see once and don't want to see again. Every act is the same, it's just gimmicky clothes. Not sure how much actual skill is required but it feels like a cheap street performance rather than a proper act. Next time they'll be on they're just gonna bring different clothes and do pretty much the same thing. I wouldn't mind if this was a trick that was a part of a larger act, like a proper magician. But right now they are like a magician that only knows a single trick. Meh.
The magician was a pretty crappy one. He forces the card so he knows exactly which one will Dec pick - something that any half-decent magician does. Then he rips the card, likely using gimmicky card that rips in a specific place, or just learning how to rip it in exactly the right place. Either way, a very common trick as well. And finally the knife throw never happens. The knife likely just pops out of the box he put on Dec using some mechanism, and he pockets the actual knife. Maybe I've watched too much magicians and it's hard to impress me. The Spellbound guy above at least had a good performance built around the tricks.
