Have a google about that horse shit as well. He’s a magician who claims he’s got real powers. End of.Charlatan. Having said that, our lass followed his instructions and placed a favourite watch of hers that hadn't worked for years and it started ticking again.

Wonder what Jerry Sadowitz would have to say. This is part of an interview of his on other such people.
Dynamo is perhaps becoming the best know magician in the UK now due to his high-profile TV shows - your thoughts on him?
The rise of dynamo is comparable to the rise of Hitler only more depressing. Against incredible odds, both got through.
In the beginning, an otherwise knowledgeable magician called Bill Kalush, inexplicably promoted and produced a half-wit (I'm being kind here) called David Blaine. Having no particular skill, Blaine's team used fraudulent "methods" to achieve his tricks, and, having no entertainment skills, put him on the street and used whatever editing means at their disposal to make him look engaging and talented.
Then along comes British TV commissioning editors who have zero imagination or talent so they recreate all future magicians in Blaine's image, since British commissioning editors can only copy what they see in America. So now we have second hand versions of the original sin, which means more fraudulent editing, more camera trickery, more stooges, more preparing and manipulating spectators beforehand, more advisors, and every other form of cheating except talent and skill. So the only person actually being fooled is the self-deluded twat himself.
As for reactions, anyone can get a great reaction from kids on the street who have no life and now suddenly find themselves getting attention from a TV camera. Even worse, these borderline retards corral celebrities to give them public endorsements. Well, what the fuck does Chris Martin of Coldplay know about magic?? And who would be crass enough to show Stephen Hawking a card trick to bolster their career, presumably so they could say "D-UH..I FOOLED STEVEN HAWKINS."
Worse yet are the kind of tricks and stunts they WANT to do on TV... things that appeal to their dangerously deluded egos in the hope that the viewers will think they are messiahs, when in fact they are the equivalent of frankenstinian boy bands miming to songs they didn't even write, and whose words don't relate in any way to the retards they emanate from.
And absolutely worst of all is that these "magicians" make Paul Daniels (a mediocre technician, poor entertainer, and awful human being) seem great retrospectively. And if you think it can't sink any further... keep watching TV.
