Dynamo: I'm not like my alter ego
TV magician Steven Frayne has revealed he lives a completely different life to his super-cool alter-ego Dynamo. As Dynamo he hangs out with the stars and performs impossible stunts including swallowing jewellery then pulling it out of his stomach, transforming snow into diamonds, walking down the side of the 20-storey LA Times building and, most famously, taking a stroll on water across the River Thames. But Steven said: "Dynamo hangs out in the coolest clubs and bars all over the world, but Steven likes to stay in with his mates and watch a movie." Over the years, Dynamo has levitated Lindsay Lohan, turned paper butterflies into real ones for Natalie Imbruglia, and wowed the likes of Sir Richard Branson, Will Smith, Snoop Dog and Kim Kardashian. Chris Martin and his wife Gwyneth Paltrow became fans after Dynamo blagged his way backstage at a Coldplay concert and impressed Chris' mum with card tricks. But the Bradford lad confessed practising magic for his girlfriend makes him the most nervous. "She's the hardest person for me to impress," he revealed. "Maybe she's the only person I get nervous performing for. I genuinely care about her opinion because she's the one I love. "She's very supportive because my work takes over my life for a lot of the time, so she has to share me with the magic." :: Nothing Is Impossible: The Real-Life Adventures Of A Street Magician by Dynamo, is published by Ebury, priced £16.99.
