I like Dynamo, but that wasn't a great trick. It's not as good as the similar trick he did when he dropped the red tin off at Radio 1 in the first series.
His greatest trick is convincing the rubes that he has ANY tricks of his own. Everything he does is derivative or a direct copy of previous people's work.
If he went on Penn & Tellers Fool Us! I'd absolutely love to watch then decimate his derivative crap.

It's the exact same trick, done exactly the same way.
His idea of originality is to use a Coke bottle where David Blaine uses a beer bottle, or to use the 7 of hearts where Penn and Teller use the 3 of spades

The trick that got me was the blowing of the horn and him appearing in another place metres away within seconds . From that last series. Anyone know how ?

Give the guy a break, he s still young ( looks about 22 ! )
hes got a great skill with cards and hes better looking than Paul Daniels ( though Debbie does nt think so )
Chris Angel is a very chunky guy... big hands... not exactly magicians hands, yet he is very skillful at card manipulation.
David Copperfield... thats more like it, tall slim.. long fingers... he does look like a magician ( hes prob into hypnotism too ! )
ditto Uri Geller and Derren B .

He's 30 this year. Old enough to be better at what he does than he is
Seen something like the walking on water trick before - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNzj3VOOBmw - The Thames isn't that deep around the London Bridge so I'd imagine something like this would be plausible.

That's easy to explain and so simple to do. The Dynamo that appeared seconds later on top of the roof of the building opposite wasn't him, it was a look-a-like. You'll notice the camera never zooms in to much to him to give the game away, it was to intend on focusing on the stooges looking amazed and overacting.

I don't understand. How can this "trick" be learned? It's impossible to learn results of matches (same way with lottery numbers). The only way of winning is by guessing or (and I know how naive Herr) the results magically coming to you. Isn't it??

Some of his tricks appear good but can be explained. One that really annoyed me with the way people going ooh and aah about it was when he "walked through a pane of glass". Even the first time I saw it, it was blatantly obvious how he did it. If you're really magic Dynamo, do it without going behind a blanket and your stooge's carefully placed body.

Not an original thought in his head......
A 1 hour special would have done.
I'll give the first episode a watch but hope he has something new to show

How did he do that Radio 1 newspaper trick?
Or you could not be like him and actually do something original. Like find out for yourself.
It's not difficult. He probably learned how to do it from Google, so I'm sure you probably can too
OK explain how he walked on the Thames then !
You can find that out for yourself too. Another trick copied (from Criss Angel, amongst others).
You probably think he walked across the Thames. But that's not what you saw
Careful editing and compliant stooges.
please explain

You have no idea how he did it do you?

Ever seen The Prestige?
Edit: Poster above has answered!
oh. well thats abit boring. :mad:
I've been watching magic for 40 years. I know exactly how he did it, and I know exactly how you could find out how he did it too.
But if you're too lazy to put in the effort to find out for yourself, that's not my problem.
I'd prefer you to tell us seeing you are some kind of expert.
I know you're not addressing this at me but, to answer you, one word....platforms (along with some strategic placing of where to do the trick).
There's a previous thread where this has been discussed.
