Dynamo Live 2015 will see the famous street magician recharged and ready to go!

Dynamo has told why he had to act to bring the magic back into his life.

He’s set to take to the road on an extensive UK tour and he says he can’t wait to get back in front of a live audience.

“Making TV shows was gruelling,” said Dynamo, whose real name is Steven Frayne.

“It was really hard work. It was the first time in my career where magic, my passion, felt like my job.

“I was longing to get back into doing the live stuff. Just performing without having to worry about the cameras, without having to do things a certain way.

“Now I’ve finished the series I’ve got time to create the best live show ever and that’s a great feeling.”

Dynamo, 31, has become a friend to the stars after his amazing rise to fame. And he admits he struggles to believe how many celebrities are admirers.

“It’s crazy to look through my phone book sometimes and see some of the numbers I’ve got and the people I speak to on a daily basis,” says Dynamo.

“I get direct messages on Twitter, too, and I do stuff for J.K. Rowling.”

The final series of his show saw Coldplay appear after they sparked up a friendship after the most offbeat in introductions.

He was at one of their gigs in 2005 when he bumped into singer Chris Martin’s mum.

“I ended up backstage, where I wasn’t supposed to be, and I was doing some magic for this nice lady,” recalls Dynamo.

“She said I had to go and show her son some tricks and I was expecting to go and do some magic for a little boy.

“But she walked me through the crowd shouting, ‘Christopher, Christopher!’ and I realised it was Chris Martin.

“I did some magic for Chris and the band and, after doing some stuff with them for my first DVD, I toured with them, doing their after-show parties.

“They said if I ever got a TV show they’d love to appear. They were too busy until the last series when they finally had time and came on. It was quite an honour.”

That last series, Dynamo: Magician Impossible, had him levitating by the Shard in London.

Other mind-boggling tricks include appearing to walk across the River Thames and levitating alongside a double-decker bus.

The series has been seen by more than 200 million people worldwide and while some have suggested they can see how the illusions are done, Dynamo has a ready answer for those who suggest trickery.

“For me, magic is an emotion you pick out in somebody when they witness something they can’t explain.

“I create moments of astonishment and seeing is believing. I do what I do and how that’s perceived is totally up to you.

“As long as you walk away amazed, then I’ve done my job. If you do doubt me then come and see me live and I’ll make a believer out of you.”

Having started as a street performer, getting close to people to weave his magic is what Dynamo insists really fires his passion.

His first ever live tour takes him to seven UK cities during 2015.

Numerous extra dates have been added and he will play the Clyde Auditorium from November 20-22 and five nights at the Edinburgh Playhouse in Edinburgh from November 25.

Playing huge venues is a world away from his early appearances in Scotland, entertaining students at university Fresher’s weeks.

From performing his first trick aged just 11 in the school playground, magic has been a lifelong obsession.

His granddad showed him that trick and performing kept him from being picked on by bullies.

“I had loads of troubles,” he admits. “I’m quite a small guy even now because I have Crohn’s disease.

“I was an easy target because I was the smallest kid in my year and also because I came from a really poor area and didn’t have the best of things.

“My granddad was my role model, he taught me all the things a father will teach you like how to swim or ride a bike.

“Without him I wouldn’t be doing magic, so I owe it all to him really.

“He passed away three years ago but he got to my first series and it put a smile on his face when he was having a bad time.”
