Asked if anyone had ever impressed him with their magic he said: "There's a young kid called Daniel Rhodes.
"Dan Dan the Magic Man. He's from Manchester, he's about 10-years-old and he sent me a YouTube clip of him doing some of his magic.
"And I thought 'that's alright, that's alright' and he did this thing at the end and I was like 'woah.'
"I think it took everyone in my office by surprise.
"The thing he did at the end was amazing. So search on YouTube for Dan Dan the Magic Man."

Everyone was on tenterhooks before he magically put Amanda's body back together again.
Following his YouTube success - and after racking up five million followers on TikTok, Dan feels the future of his career is online.
"You are truly amazing," said one fan as he celebrated his success last month.
"Just the beginning," said another follower.
"Total legend!" said another fan.
His proud mum Lisa said: "From an early age, Dan has had a passion for magic.
"I remember him being sat in front of YouTube at about 8 years old, just watching the likes of Dynamo over and over again with a pack of cards in his hand, mastering how the tricks where done, over and over again until he mastered it... he hasn’t stopped since.
"His drive and ambition and love for the art is second to none and I am more than sure he will continue to succeed in everything he does!"
