British magician Dynamo utilised these shoes when creating his illusion of walking across the River Thames in 2011. It was the opening effect of the TV series Dynamo: Magician Impossible which catapulted this young man from Bradford, who was bullied at school and diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at 17, into an international magic superstar.

Dynamo, born Stephen Frayne in 1982, was one of the first UK magicians to realise the power of new social media to develop a successful ‘street’ image. He performs dazzling close-up and stage magic and during his record breaking 2015/16  UK tour became the first magician to headline the 10,000 seat O2 Arena in London.
