Wednesday, November 23, 2016 THE WEST AUSTRALIAN today 15ARTS • annelies.gartner@wanews.com.au

Afew pages into jotting down notesabout the first night of Britishstreet magician Dynamo’s four

almost sold-out shows at Perth Arena, Inoticed there were no words on the page.

Had Dynamo swapped my pen for onewith invisible ink? Had he somehowmade the words vanish? Or was itsomething more logical; that my pen hadsimply stopped working?

Believe what you will. What I wrotematters little because a magic show isone of the hardest of any performancesto review without spoiling the fun foranyone yet to attend.

Even the hard to impress would surelyhave been won over by the show’sanimated sequences that basicallyserved to tell Dynamo’s origin story;how a slightly built boy from the DelphHill housing estate in Bradford, WestYorkshire, used magic and hisimagination to escape a life of bullyingand poverty to become one of the mostin-demand and famous magicians andillusionists in the modern world.

Yes, there were card tricks (he shuffles

and cuts cards like a demon). Yes, therewas a mobile phone trick.

Audience members were asked to getup and get involved. Mind-bending andmind-boggling things happened.

“I don’t understand,” said the girlbehind me. “I’m so confused,” she saidseveral times during the show.

Dynamo, real name Steven Frayne,has wowed the world with awe-inspiringstunts such as walking across the RiverThames and levitating above skyscraperthe Shard.

One of the biggest surprises wasDynamo’s sense of humour, having funwith the audience in a way he neverreally did on four seasons of his TVshow, Magician Impossible.

Perth Arena has a reduced capacityfor Dynamo’s shows, to create a moreintimate feel, yet there is still a heavyreliance on watching the magic unfoldon the big screen.

You could sit there looking for wires,trap doors or other telltale signs but thatwould be missing the point.

Sometimes we all just need a littlemagic in our lives and Dynamo providedthat for those willing to see and believe.

Believe and you will see

Dynamo has wowed the world.
