Dynamo is fantastic, god knows how he does some of it.

I agree. Dynamo is brilliant.

I watched a fair bit of the Dynamo stuff yesterday, pretty good generally.

The weights one was very good and he must have got some good training for that.

There was one thing on it (can't remember what it was now) where I had read about how to complete such feats

The R1 thing at the end was crap though-I thought it was pretty obvious how that was done (well I thought so anyway).

Love Dynamo too.
My hubby reckons he knows how he has done some of the tricks but most we are stumped on!

It seems to be forgotten that magicians are illusionists. Everything screened is a set up through misdirection, use of stooges, doctored props, camera angles and sleight of hand - have I missed anything out?

I'm not impressed with David Blaine. He is rubbish

Obviously it's all an Illusion, but it s still well done nevertheless

Yeah, Paul Daniels.

Pulled the wool over all of our eyes in the 80's-how the feck did he last so long

With tommy cooper, you started laughing as he walked out onto the stage before he had even done anything.

[QUOTE 2893773, member: 9609"]what was the R1 thing ?

the weights one - everybody in that room was a stooge ? I find it all very bizarre and would love to see some of this stuff for real[/quote]

The r1 thing was the newspaper page in the box.

Don't know about stooges and the weights. I believe you could lift something like that with very very specific training for a very long time
