It takes a lot to impress me. Especially where 'magic' is concerned. The only other 'magicians' that I've ever liked are Penn & Teller. That was amazing though. Very, very good indeed.
The Penn & Teller catching the bullet trick is probably the best magic trick ever.
The walking on the Thames "trick" was the most obvious of the lot to me really. Obvious he was walking on something that was submerged just beneath the water and the tide had come in and covered it up. The two canoes that just happened to be paddling past between him and the bank sealed that for me. How often do you see canoes in that part of the river, yet they have very shallow hulls so can easily pass over the top of whatever was submerged.
The rest of it was very good though. That bit where he rubbed the 0 off the £10 note and put it on the £20. Amazing.

Went to their show at the Rio in Vegas. The magic bullet trick live is mindblowing.
agree off_it. there the types of stunts i want him to stay away from. got the feeling he was walking on some sort of long glass or clear plastic panel slighty submerged under the river.

Totally agree. That stunt detracted from the show.
He is so good he doesnt need to arse about David Blaine style.
best trick I have seen (it might have been by derren Brown) was a 'magician' in a bar in Prague and involved member of public choosing a card, signing it etc and it turned up inside a cellophane wrapped packet of cigarettes from a vending machine where the member of public had choice of about 10 brands
He seems a good bloke too and quite humble and open about what he was about....unlike Blaine who took himself a bit too seriously.
Just a shame that there's a need in all modern tv programmes to get "celebrities" involved all the time. Suppose it's more a case of the TV bosses demanding it rather than the man himself.
Much more enjoyable seeing real people being amazed than some floppy haired whally off the telly.
(I dont include Ian Brown in that...hes not a "celeb" in the context i mean....more talent in his little finger than most of the people in Heat magazine)
Yep, the exit was so obviously planned. You could see the guys on the end shuffle a little closer to prevent a gap. Weak ending. Is Rio so thick that he fell for it or was he also in on it?
How'd he do the pussycat doll trick in the jewellers???? Fella in work reckons theres a stooge in every rtrick involving a crowd. He does swap the bottle in the mobile phone trick, the bottles never have residue in.
He is still my favourite programme to watch at the moments.
How the f*** did he just do that with the ring in the snowball???
How the f*** does he get a mobile phone in a beer bottle?
How the f*** did he balance the drum stick on the guitar, then take one of the chairs away to leave the guitar "floating" at one end-all in front of Ian Brown (few nights ago)
Amazing, entertaining, great to watch.
The reactions of the punters is great- "How the f***?"....................

Amazing tricks by Dynamo though, that coin in the can thing is mental..
If you look when the bloke makes the snowball, he does it behind the snowboard where a pre-made snowball already lays containing a ring.
id be gutted if im right.
True. The Blainesque stuff ruins everything he does thats good.

They shuffle to prevent a gap to stop you seeing what exactly?????
Amazing to see it on tele but unfckinbelievable if you were there watching it.
If the snowball trick is a stooge then slightly dissapointed but if not v v good.
