It would seem even the "Dynamo Magician" youtube video links are impossible.

...and? Apart from non link links, do you have any sort of a point here, or should this belong in the Entertainment sub-forum?

He's an English magician. Here's some sort of TV special that I think the OP was referring to:

Thank you, Loss Leader. I do not know how that JREF notice is posted that goes to the youtube video.

You still have not explained what this thread is supposed to be about, apart from it being a link to a magician.

...I think iit is supposed to demonstrate that a 6'8" man would not have crushed a 4-month-old burro...

Agatha · 3rd November 2012, 05:54 PM

He does tricks and illusions, PC. He is not performing magic in the sense of the supernatural or paranormal. When he walked on water on the Thames, he had previously (off camera) set up a walkway so that he was walking on that, not the water. It's not really magic.

(I know a little bit about him as he has Crohn's disease, like me, and he recently gave an interview to the National Assoc. of Crohn's and Colitis newsletter.)

Yeah.... "blocking the signal"... that'll be it.

I don't like Dynamo at all... He doesn't come across as someone I'd get along with.

LandR · 4th November 2012, 09:14 AM

I don't know what is going on here.

I'm not a fan of Dynamo though.

If Dynamo is using real magical power, he's doing things the hard way. Many of the tricks he does in the linked special were revealed in the "Breaking the Magician's Code" series.

Azrael 5 · 10th November 2012, 05:49 PM

Claim to (minor)fame I knew Dynamo when he was 13 onwards,we frequented same magic store.
FYI he was rubbish even then. Ever wonder with all the people filming him(at Rio statue for example) on mobile phones etc. ,why there is no footage on YouTube or on line anywhere of him levitating?!

PeaceCrusader · 15th November 2012, 03:33 AM

I saw on TV this week that Dynamo is being shown in Australia, Channel 7, Wednesday, 8:30-9:30pm. I do not know when the first showing was.

Too bad it clashes with the cricket. Hhhmmm, Dynamo or cricket? A real no brainer.

Let me ask you honestly, PC--do you understand Dynamo is doing tricks, not actual magic? Or are you still watching thinking something like, "Well, if Dynamo can do this, Jesus certainly could!"?

If so, do you understand how silly that is?

I'd probably go that way myself, fromdownunder, and I've never watched cricket.

Meh… but was he or could he be (Jesus or heck, even Dynamo) a top notch bowler? Now that might be something to watch.

PeaceCrusader · 4th January 2013, 04:14 AM

It seems that Dynamo: Magician Impossible is now a regular feature of Channel 7 in Australia. I just watched last Wednesday, 2013-01-02, from 7:30-8:30pm. I am amazed at how he does his magic, so do people, like the sounding of a horn behind several people, or his disappearing and just leaving his attire, or his passing through a glass panel.

Captain_Swoop · 4th January 2013, 04:33 AM

My neighbour thinks he is the best thing ever. He seems to think he doesn't use any of the usual magicians methods or any kind of editing in his shows, it's all recorded 'live' in the street with 'real' people so he can't be usng 'trickery'

pakeha · 6th January 2013, 10:51 PM

Does your neighbour also buy those products 'as advertised on TV'?

Squeegee Beckenheim · 7th January 2013, 03:44 PM

I've only seen one special of his. I'd heard lots about how amazing he was, so decided to watch for myself. In the whole 1 hour special I saw only 1 trick that I didn't already know how it was done. And I'm not exactly knowledgeable about magic. My step-mum saw one of his tricks and just said "that's stupid" and explained how it's done. She knows less than nothing about magic.

The one trick that I didn't know the methodology for was easily explained by editing and stooges. I don't know if that's the correct solution but, judging by the rest of his tricks, I wouldn't be at all surprised.

Really not impressed.
