This is just the exact same show which was on Watch a few months ago. I thought he moved to the BBC with a brand new show and new tricks. What the deuce. >:(

The BBC are really barrel-scraping now.
Cheapskates!
My sentiments exactly.
Really? How do you do old fashioned magic tricks when a camera pointing in the right direction to achieve them is needed? Like the trick with the football and the bloke seen running away with the un-gimmicked ball can be seen in the background?
And that's not the only 'camera required' trick he does. So not old fashioned magic at all as once upon a time magicians had integrity and would never abuse cameras to achieve the effect. Then along come this latest batch of so-called magicians with their arrogant youth and destroy decades of magicians on TV's integrity.
They may as well do the whole thing in CGI now as no one believes a thing they see on TV now as these twerps have damaged it beyond recovery.
Nice clear support under the water. Notice he is not walking on the surface, but just under.
Perspex platform, just under the surface.
Badly.
The masked magician un-masked these pathetic tricks to force lazy magicions to push the boundary, he sadly doesn't most of those were badly done.
Wouldn't those 2 canoeists who went past him get stuck or whack the platform with their paddles?
I think the people he gets to watch are in on his 'tricks'. It showed in the episode that's just been on where he did what Neo did in The Matrix, and he did this in front of two lasses. The lasses just gave a reaction as if they'd just seen a trick that was pretty good, but not scarily unbelievable. They certainly weren't very good at faking the required reaction. I think he's just a fake. He's being helped somehow with his 'tricks'.

But on account of the fact that he is SHIT, he misses the point that you should be able to see through the water and it should appear that there is nothing there to support him.
Instead, he performs it it the brown, free-flowing sewage that is the River Thames, which hides a multitude of sins and a quantity of former east-end villains wearing concrete wellingtons.
Well all magic requires help but yes some tricks do seem to have more help than others. For example when he bent the glass in the club.. I'm guessing those almost empty glasses were props waiting for him.
The free to air premiere of a popular series is barrel scraping?
I suppose you're fine with a licence fee increase to stop them from having to find cheap content like this...
They use canoes for a reason. The water displacement of a canoe is minimal and they have a very gradual curve to their bottoms. They need only a few inches of water to float in, particularly with a light rower. Their gradually curved bottoms allow them to skim over the platform even if contact is made.
In fact they were deliberately used to prove to the braindead that there wasn't anything there, when in fact it proves to the observant exactly what was going on.
Over-proving leads to its downfall.
Not everyone can get Watch you know
I enjoyed it and I'm quite happy for the BBC to barrel-scrape when they get it right, like this.
You seem strangely bitter towards Dynamo. Why? He's British and he's good at what he does.
Are you a frustrated magician?
He isn't good.
He uses all the weakest methods to achieve glory.
If he was an athlete, he would be the type that uses performance enhancing drugs. We tend not to appreciate that sort!
That doesn't matter. We are talking about the main national broadcaster in this country that has special privileges way above every other channel, showing second hand 'hand-me-downs' in prime time Saturday night TV.
Shameful.
Why do you state that like it's a fact when it's just your opinion?
He is not good at all and I and several people have clearly pointed out the cheating camera tricks he uses, but you ignore all of that and tell us that he is good, when that isn't the case.
