Cheers to Dynamo, whose remarkable ascension to magic’s A-List now includes a Broadcast Award. Magician Impossible nabbed the “Best Entertainment Programme” honor over stalwarts like Britain’s Got Talent.
Dynamo is an ascending star on UK television and had a banner year in 2012. But has his newfound success included telekinesis with which he can affect sporting events?
His hometown squad of Bradford beat favorites Arsenal after a Gunner kicker missed a decisive penalty kick. And Dyanmo says fans can thank him later…
‘I definitely like to think I had a little input. My main focus last night was the match even though I was on stage [at the time] doing the biggest show of my career,’ said Dynamo in an interview with the Daily Mail.
‘I wanted to get off stage to see Bradford. It was all I could think about, I was willing my team to win.’
‘I’d like to think Thomas Vermaelen missing that penalty could’ve been something to do with me.’
We encourage Dynamo to let his fans know in advance which games he’s going to fix so we can cash in.
Part of the third season of Dyanmo’s Magician Impossible series is set to be shot in South Africa, according to the man himself. Dynamo was in South Africa to promote the second season of his hit series, but decided to stay on and shoot.
“It was decided a while ago that there will be a third series. We’re a couple of weeks in – and I’ve decided to stay to do an episode of series three! I’ll visit Johannesburg, Soweto and Cape Town. I’ll bring some magic to South Africa!” Dynamo said.
“I want to go into some of the deprived areas; I want to go into some of the rich areas and just show a cross-section of what South Africa is all about to the world. I’ve got a few ideas of things I want to do, but I think I need to meet some of the people of South Africa first to get a feeling of this place.”
No word yet on the targeted release date for season three in the UK, South Africa or here in the good ol’ US of A.
Organizers are offering upset customers their money back after crowds for a Dynamo gig became to thick for many to see him. We assume this was a walk around gig for the UK magic television sensation.
Brett Willoughby was one of those who attended Saturday’s event and did not see Dynamo performing.
He said: “All I got to see was the back of his head… I didn’t see one trick. I didn’t even see his face.”
He had been expecting to be sat at tables and Dynamo would come around and perform tricks for everyone.
However, Mr Willoughby said there were not enough seats and his girlfriend who was eight-months pregnant had to go out on to the balcony to sit down.
Customers will be offered their full money back or the chance to see Dynamo again at a return engagement.
It’s as if someone stopped the music in a game of musical chairs. UK magicians and musical acts seem to be rushing to pair up. Yesterday we told you about Piff the Magic Dragon and Mumford and Son heading out on the road together.
Today comes word that massive Brit Boy Band One Direction are looking to Dynamo as an opening act.
Dynamo is right there at the top of the choice of support acts for the One Direction tour, according to The Mirror. The 29 year-old magician from Bradford apparently lives in the same block as some of the lads and they were mightily impressed with his ‘walking on water’ stunt on the Thames last year. “They’ve been blown away by what he does. They love his levitating tricks,” an insider said.
It would be a huge coup for Dynamo. We’ve seen magic on a major pop tour before, most memorably Ed Alonzo with Britney Spears’ Circus show, but to be the opening act would certainly be a horse of a different color.
Oh man… this is ready made for the gossip sheets. Dynamo claims that omnipresent media personality Kim Kardashian once enquired about his relationship status after he performed for her.
Having admitted to performing magic for Kim, the magician was asked by Entertainmentwise’s Georgie Barrat if he used his magic to seduce her, to which he replied:
“Well she did ask me if I was married after. But they’re a but crazy, aren’t they?”
There could be a few explanations for this. Maybe she was asking for a friend or one of her sisters before they got hitched. Maybe she was genuinely curious in a completely platonic manner.
Or maybe, she hit on him and we are one step close to a Dynamo vs. Kanye West (KK’s current beau) feud which would pretty much be the best thing ever.
In an interview with the Daily Star today Dynamo says he’d love to have kids one day and pledges not to force magic on them. He goes so far as to say that if they are into the art, he’s going to keep his methods close to the vest:
“I’ll make him cool. There’s no way I’d let my kids get bullied like I was. I wouldn’t push my kids into magic, I’m not into that pushy parent thing.
“I wouldn’t even tell my kids my magic secrets. I’ll never share them with anyone!”
Any parents in the readership today? Do you have any ground rules on if you want to encourage magic with your kids? If so, is there anything you hold back so they can figure it out themselves?
