Dynamo: Magician Impossible

Has anyone here watched this street magician on Dave (or is it GOLD)? I find this kind of thing very irritating. Does this kid from Yorkshire realise David Blaine was doing precisley the same thing on tv about 8 years ago?

I think what irritates most is the publics' reactions to his illusions - that total shock, horror and dancing about with their fist up their mouths screaming, "Oh, my God!! What the fuck!!"

His illusions are very clever (I especially enjoy the one where he forces a mobile phone into an empty beer bottle) and I don't claim to know how he does them, but why do supposedly intelligent people react to his tricks as though they're pure magic??

The finale to his first show was a prime expample, when he 'walked' on the Thames river. Cue camera shots of people running over London Bride, wide-eyed and pointing in amazement. Did these stupid kunts really believe he was walking on water?? It wasn't even well done, as in the close ups you could clearly see the water was up to his ankles. This has been done many times before and is achieved by constructing a glass floor just beneath the surface, but these idiots continued to point and take photos as though he was the new messiah or something

There was also one with him driving car round track with helmet visor blacked out out so he couldnt see. But you could clearly see there was small grill at top no doubt hiding tiny cam feeding vision inside helmet. His head was pointing down all time to ensure the top ( and thus cam) was facing forward. Not very impressive to see how easily it was done.

He did a couple of tricks yesterday that almost had me eating my words, as even I found myself flabbergasted by what I witnessed. A couple sat in a bar at a glass table were approached by Dynamo. He asked the guy for some coins and from the selection picked out a two-pound coin and asked him to place it anywhere on the table. The guy did as he was asked. Dynamo then asked the woman to place her cupped hand under the table, beneath where the coin lay on top. He then drew his hand over the coin, made a little jerky movement and the coin fell into the woman's hand. I rewound it several times to see if I could see how he did it, but there was nothing to give it away. Dynamo's hand only went beneath the table when he was showing the woman where to place hers, and at no point did could I detect him using slight of hand to place the 'dummy coin' ??

This is how a magian working alone would do it, but it still doesn't explain how Dynamo does it using someone else's hand that obvioulsy can't be 'palming' the dummy coin as in the reveal here:



This isn't the one I saw, but it's the same trick:

To be honest if U watch dynamo tv on youtube U mite be quite suprised how good he really is....tinie tempah....he was so shocked when dynamo changed the front cover of his cd??? U need to see it dude!!....also footage on sport relief.....seeing is believing peeps...lol
