Lives Less Ordinary

Dynamo: turning illness into magic


Listen Later

Steven Frayne, aka Dynamo, isn't your usual white-gloved magician pulling rabbits out of hats. His tricks have seen him walk on water and stroll down the side of a huge building. He's one of the world's most celebrated magicians but it hasn't been an easy path to success for the British entertainer. His entire life has been hampered by Crohn's disease, a debilitating inflammatory bowel disease. But this adversity has been the source of inspiration for some of his best tricks.
His latest TV show Dynamo: Beyond Belief is available now on Sky One.
Presented and produced by Saskia Edwards
