Spelbound are an acrobatics group who won Series 4 of Britain's Got Talent. Overall, there have been 20 members of Spelbound (including former members), many of whom have competed in World championships. They were aged between 12 & 25. They dreamt of impressing the judges and the audience, and ultimately winning the show as a whole.

In their audition they performed several gymnastics flips, and tosses. They then had certain member lift others into the air, as they performed airborne hand stands. They then had a member balanced atop of another members head, before certain members performed the splits on the stage, before performing airborne tosses and flips, as one member flipped into the air and later landed upon the stage before the group then performed several more flips to conclude their performance. Simon commented that he had 'never seen anything like [their performance] in his life', with Amanda describing their performance as 'absolutely faultless'.

They were the last act to perform during the Semi-Finals. In the Semi-Finals they performed several gymnastics flips, twirls, and tosses to fast paced music. They then performed several jumps into the air, airborne handstands, and the splits, span one another around, swung one another backwards and forwards, and had a member jump into the air before getting caught by another member. Piers remarked 'In the room that was one of the most extraordinary routines', with Amanda adding 'You didn't disappoint [as it was] high voltage [and] excellent'. They won their Semi-Final and advanced directly to the Final.

The group were the closing act during the Final. They performed several flips and twirls, airborne handstands, climbed atop one another, balanced one another upon their heads with one hand, performed aerial flips and airborne handstands, and a member jumped off of another members head and was ultimately caught by two other members. Piers remarked 'What can I say about you that hasn't already been said', with Simon adding 'Putting it into Olympic terms that would have won the Gold medal'. They ultimately won the Final, placing ahead of runners-up Twist and Pulse, & Kieran Gaffney.
