Before it kicked off he left a CD of his predictions at Sky Sports. Here's what he predicted.
Either, Ronaldo, Messi or Neymar, would suffer a serious injury that would end their World Cup.
Germany would play either Argentina or Italy in the final.
Here's where it gets spooky.The winning goal would be scored in the 113th minute by the youngest player on the pitch and it would break Argentina's hearts.

Bet he didn't put a few quid on Benzema + 3-0 against Honduras like I did though. Who's the real magician? I made those winnings disappear too.

He made those predictions after the group stages apparently rather than before the tournament kicked off.

We all would have guessed obvious stuff like 'solitary goal against Argentina after 113 minutes by young player' two weeks ago, what a fraudster.

Pretty badly done I think.

He predicted Italy would be in the final after the group stages? Perhaps not such a genius then!

Is there any video evidence whatsoever of him saying the winning goal would be scored in the 113th minute by the youngest player on the pitch and it would break Argentina's hearts before the world cup final?

If not I call bullshit.

As people say under the clip, why not just announce his predictions publically before any of the matches? All this cloak and dagger stuff makes a nonsense of it, and makes it look as if he is faking things (which he is of course).

Reminds me of that lame David Blaine trick where he gets people to write personal stuff and seal it in a envelope, of course he pretends to rip up the first envelope and tells them to do it again, after reading what was in the original envelope.

Without Googling it (and I'm sure, like most of Dynamo's tricks, the trick is something I could buy quite easily if I wanted to) my guess would be that the "video file" on the CD, when opened, would load up a video hosted online which Dynamo had recorded after the final.


Because it's a magic trick, and that would be impossible.

You might as well say "why does David Copperfield strap a woman down to a table to cut her in half, why not just take a chainsaw to her in the crowd where everyone can see?".

I'm not a fan of Dynamo, but complaining because he doesn't have actual magical powers is just silly.

Yeah, some of the comments under the video are laughable also, calling fake on something a magician does is like proclaiming a movie isn't real...

I'll stick with Paul the octopus (RIP)

He was a legend! I remember his prediction that Germany would lose in the semi-final being shown live and everyone tried to pretend like he must have made a mistake Awkward

The trick is to switch the envelope at some point.

What year was that?

2010 of course : his predictions were phenomenal, he had a 100% success rate.

If it was Germany vs Italy in the final then how would it break 'Argentinian hearts'?

Exactly what I was thinking!

Isn't there tens of millions of people who are either Argentinian with Italian roots or vice versa? I was surprised at the appointment of an Italian ref

The referee appointments were a joke anyway. Howard Webb was the best referee at this World Cup, yet he didn't get to referee any games after Brazil v Chile (as far as I remember). On the other hand, the referee who made at least 15 wrong calls in the Uruguay v Italy game (not least of which was ignoring Suarez's bite) got to referee the semi-final etc etc etc...

Webb messed some decision up in his game. I forgot what, (I even forget what the match was) but I said at the time he would not get another game. Did he disallow a Brazil goal, or something?

That was a correct decision. It was handball.

Not impressed one bit. Reminded me of Darren Brown predicting the lottery results after the results was announced.

Is everyone really that shocked that a magician isn't actually magic?

Yeah, it was obviously a trick. He's a magician!! Professional magicians don't believe in psychic powers because they know how easily they can be simulated.

Complete rubbish.
