Here at One Ahead, we have been closely reporting on the re-emergence of one of magic’s biggest stars, Dynamo. From the announcement of Dynamo is Dead to his press tour, including Dynamo on Sky Sports. Te performer has been doing his rounds in the past month. On Thursday December 14th his long-awaited Dynamo is Dead special aired on SkyTV, if you weren’t able to catch it here’s everything you missed and what’s to come for Dynamo next.
The two-hour special had every hallmark of a traditional magic special with a few extra add-ons. Celebrity appearances were peppered throughout the program showing their reactions to tremendous feats like Dynamo removing boxing superstar Tyson Fury’s championship belt from a framed photo.
Other celebrities like singer Demi Lovato, comedian Pete Davidson, and model Cara Delevingne joined Dynamo to share their stories on illness, both mental and physical, and how it has affected their well-being while under public scrutiny. This, of course, is tied into the overall message of the special, overcoming obstacles and rebirth.
The focus then switched to the build-up to burying Dynamo alive, and recently injured escape artist Jonathan Goodwin was brought in to share further background on the stunt. Goodwin provided expert consultation while being a reminder of what happens when a stunt goes wrong: Jonathan Goodwin is suing AGT for a life-changing injury. It was explained to the audience that this was the most fatal trick ever that even Houdini couldn’t accomplish.
