Dynamo

<p>Today I’m joined by one of the most prolific magicians of all time - Dynamo.</p><p>250 million viewers around the world tuned in to watch his award-winning TV shows, as he levitated in front of the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro; and seemingly walked on water down London’s River Thames.&nbsp;</p><p>750,000 attended his last stadium tour, with famous fans from Jay Z and Snoop Dogg, to Gwyneth Paltrow and Ed Sheeran.</p><p>And then, at the very peak of his success, he had to step away.</p><p>As you’ll hear on this episode, Dynamo became so ill from the affects of Crohn’s disease that he spent months in hospital, thinking he would never be able to perform magic again.&nbsp;</p><p>Now, 5 years later, having come close to death, Dynamo’s resilience and determination mean he’s back. He’s been working on a new show which will take viewers on a magical journey across the globe. From Bradford to Japan, and Syria to Australia, these are the travel diaries of Dynamo.&nbsp;</p><p>Destination recap:</p><ul><li>Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, USA</li><li>Bradford, Yorkshire, England&nbsp;</li><li>India</li><li>Tokyo, Japan</li><li>Chūbu, Japan</li><li>Syria</li><li>Wolgan Valley, Blue Mountains, Australia</li><li>London, England</li><li>Hampstead Heath, London, England</li><li><a href="http://www.chilternfirehouse.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Chiltern Firehouse</a>, London, England&nbsp;</li><li>Bar Bruno, Soho, London, England</li><li>Harlem, New York, USA</li><li>Gorilla Trekking, Rwanda</li></ul><p>Dynamo new show Beyond Belief is on Sky One now.</p><p>Thank you so much for listening.
