Biblical epic: Magician Dynamo poses while standing in the middle of the River Thames where he performed an illusion in which he appeared to walk on waterMost magicians are capable of unbelievable feats, after all it's their stock in trade, but how many have unbelievable feet?
Dynamo, whose real name is Steve Frayne, has showed some rather nifty feet as he walked on water for his latest jaw-dropping stunt.
The Bradford-born illusionist, 28, made it half way across the stretch of the river in front of the Houses of Parliament in London before he was picked up by a River Police boat.
Tread carefully: Left, stunned onlookers watch from Westminster Bridge as Dynamo gets his feet wet and, right, he heads towards the Houses of Parliament Stunned onlookers watched from Westminster Bridge as the magician recorded the stunt for his new TV show Dynamo: Magician Impossible.
Frayne has so far built his name on the celebrity circuit, astounding a host of famous names with his tricks.
Among those who will testify to his skills are the likes of Jay-Z, Coldplay, Will Smith, Busta Rhymes and Paris Hilton.
His previous tricks have included making Little Britain star Matt Lucas levitate before a live audience at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, and turning signed lottery tickets into cash in front of Robbie Williams and Davina McCall as part of BBC's Sport Relief live programme, as you can see on the video below.
Various celebrities have taken part in his new series including heavyweight boxing champion David Haye, Manchester rocker Ian Brown and pop star Natalie Imbruglia.
In episode one, he performs his trademark levitation trick and physically moves a girl's tan line on the glamorous Miami Beach.
I hope he can swim: Frayne stands still in the middle of the fast-moving River ThamesThe magician's spectacular tricks in the coming series include him transporting a mobile phone into a glass beer bottle, turning snow into diamonds in the Austrian mountains and bringing a flutter of butterflies to life in Hollywood's famous Chateau Marmont.
Frayne's current roster of A-list celebrity admirers is a long way from his upbringing on the deprived Delph Hill Estate in Bradford, where he learned magic from his grandfather. That background provided the title for a Channel 4 programme entitled 'Dynamo's Estate Of Mind'.
Fast hands: Dynamo began his magic career learning card tricks from his grandfather on an estate in Bradford but now has a celebrity fanclub that includes the likes of Coldplay singer Chris Martin and his wife Gwyneth PaltrowToday he combines elements of dance and hip hop culture into his magic routines and his skills have seen him invited to appear on TV shows such as Snoop Dogg's Fatherhood.
He has so far released two Dvds; Underground Magic and Concrete Playground.
