The young acrobats proved the most popular act of the eight performing on Monday night's live semi-final. They scored the highest number of viewers' votes to secure an automatic place in the final.
Judges Piers Morgan, Amanda Holden and Simon Cowell then chose Mead over fellow runner-up 14-year-old singer Olivia Archbold to take the second final spot.
Forty semi-finalists will be whittled down in shows each night this week until the remaining 10 battle it out in the live final on Saturday for a chance to appear at the Royal Variety Performance.
Spelbound, the last of the eight acts to perform, won high praise from the judges during Monday night's show for their daring and intricately choreographed routine.
Holden said she wanted to see them in the final, adding: "It didn't disappoint. It was high voltage excellence."
Morgan declared it "one of the most extraordinary routines". Cowell labelled the level of detail in the routine "incredible", stating: "This is what this show is all about, finding undiscovered talent and you are that."
Fellow finalist Mead also attracted plenty of plaudits from the trio, with Morgan declaring his performance "one of the most creative and inspired dance routines we've seen on the show".
Holden added: "Absolutely brilliant, innovative, clever, keeping those brilliant fluid movements. I would have liked to have seen more on the pole, apart from that it was fabulous."
Archbold, who sang What If by Kate Winslet, was told by Morgan she sang with "remarkable" maturity.
