At the end of the day its entertainment, I find it very entertaining even knowing how some of the tricks are performed.

Some of those acts on Penn and Teller are quite incredible.

I think I upset he missis watching that, I know it's not possible so I don't really feel like sitting there going "woooow" like her.

It would be a more interesting show if they explained how the things were done.

Of course. (And that's wimmins for yer. )

Our natural inquisitiveness makes us want to sate the desire to 'know how it's done'..... But what a sad day it would be if all tricks/illusions were immediately revealed straight after. The 'wonderment' shattered in a thrice. (Have at least one surprise in your life, eh? )

If nothing else, the magic industry would slowly, but surely, die out....?

Been watching this too. Most of it you sit there thinking how the hell did he do that (like when he moved the woman's sun tan line on her wrist up to her shoulder??).

When he "went through the window" the other week, I think the bouncer guy who was standing near the door was in on it has he was wearing a long black jacket which conveniently covered the gap between him and the guy standing next to him as Dynamo crouched down behind another jacket which he got someone else to hold in front of him. So then, in theory, he had a line of about 3 people/and their jackets to crawl behind to escape out of the door.

Some stuff aint so obvious and however he does it is pretty good.

agreed. obviously its a trick in one form or another. what amazes me is the diversity of the tricks he does in his show, you can work out (maybe) how you suspect he does some and then he will follow it up with something that makes no sense at all eg. the smoke in the glass trick! sometimes there must be a "plant" thats in on it, but then on the other hand the show goes far and wide and some of the people filmed would not agree to be made to look stupid, as would some celebs risk their credability. imagine the costs involved to pay everyone off to "fake" a reaction, not forgetting that kids reactions would always give the game away. he is a class act.

I dont want to disappoint anyone but last week, i watched it on sky, saw the trick with the coin on the shoulder. i rewound it and re-played and when dynamo goes up to the guy he puts his hand on his shoulder and wham. it stays there until the punchline of the trick.

Id love to know how he got the phone in the bottle and loads of others. VERY clever man.

Surely you can't expect them to spill the beans on how those magic tricks are done! They all are trying to make a living.

I find it more interesting to try to work it out myself anyway, even if it is impossible most of the time.

He was born and raised in Bradford so I see. I bet his best trick is to make a car disappear!

i am pretty sure he is sponsored by them, i am sure he could make a car disappear as well, except it would end up in a bottle or something probably

Saw a whole program for the first time on Watch the other night.

His close-up and sleight of hand stuff is truly amazing.

But why oh why did they 'cheapen' his act by showing that ludicrous stooges/CGI camera trick with the cinema movie names! Absolutely ridiculous!!!

The walking on water was easy to do plastic,the stuff he does with the cards Hmm Fishing wire ?

Yeah the perspex under water trick is well known.

You can also get those coins that have a sprung-loaded little 'cut-out' for passing a cigarette through. When this trick is performed, it looks mental (when you don't know how it's done, obviously).

Also the the trick where he ends up somewhere remote in an 'impossible' time period... I saw the Masked Magician reveal how that gem is done

Like ALL tricks, it's 'easy' to understand when you've been shown how it works.
