Dynamo video transcript 

 

 

How are you doing guys, my name is Dynamo I am magician from Bradford and I am different because I can do this.

I've been doing magic for I'd say since I was about eleven years old, I'm twenty four years old right now.

And it is actually you know I grew up on a council estate so it is kind of you know I've got to perform like in you know Prince Charles' house so in a way you could say I've kind of gone from council estates to royal estates.

I got to perform for people like Coldplay, Gwyneth Paltrow, like Busta Rhymes like you know hip hop legends like De La Soul.

If you see where I come from to where I am at now it's, I don't know you wouldn't have even think it's possible which is magic in itself you know that's what I do, I do the impossible.
Whenever I perform magic I always try and make it you know different than what people are used to seeing.

When, when they watch me I want them to think you know, I want them to think wow I've just seen Dynamo doing it not I've just seen a magician.

One thing a lot of people don't really know about me is that I have an eating disorder called Crohn's disease which essentially the best way to explain it, imagine you've got like for example a cut on your arm and every time you eat it's like rubbing dirt into the cut because the cut that is it that, the cut that you are imagining on your arm is actually inside your bowel and your intestine so whenever you eat food it's like taking a big lump of dirt and rubbing it into an open wound so it's constantly irritated and can you know it can give you stomach cramps.

It can make you feel you know it can make you feel sick at times.
It makes you have to rush off to a toilet at a moment's notice, actually no I am joking.

Sometimes when you go to a bathroom you actually pass blood in your stools and it can just give you mood swings, it can make you feel you know irritable.

I mean it's put me in hospital a few times and actually I had an operation you can see the big scar I've got right there.

Can you see that close up, see that scar.

Yeah. I mean if anybody asks I had a fight with a shark. It always makes you a little bit weary when people ask you if you want to go out for a meal.

I love food, it never stops my appetite, I mean I have got one of the biggest appetites in the world, I just know that personally it's not the greatest thing to have in the world.

But it doesn't stop me having fun and you know I generally use my magic, I take, I take the focus off the Crohn's disease away by just focusing on the magic or focusing on you know having a good time.

And just being positive about things.
