- description: Looks like he made the magic disappear! Watch the awkward moment one of Dynamo's trademark tricks 'goes horribly wrong' on the first night his live tour in front of a star-studded audience (but all is not quite how it seems...) Dynamo made a young man's mobile phone disappear into a water bottle He then asked the other guest, 'Amy', to call the mobile, belonging to 'Tom' But the phone failed to ring and was met by a stony silence and sniggering UK's favourite magician then said 'it's a live show, anything could happen' Magician performed the same trick at the matinee when the phone had rung, but audience member also return to his seat with it still in the bottle Are you Tom? And how did you get the phone out of the bottle? Call 02036151265 or email lucy.crossley@mailonline.co.uk He admitted to being incredibly nervous before last night's sold-out live event and said it could be the 'last time' he performed if anything went wrong. And audience members would have been hoping that Dynamo, the UK's most celebrated magician, would not be true to his word as one of his tricks appeared to go horribly awry in front of the star-studded crowd at the 02. After he brought up two guests for a trick on the first night of his tour, he captivated the audience by making the young man's mobile phone disappear into an empty water bottle. To prove the phone belonged to the gentleman - named Tom - he asked the other guest, Amy, to call the mobile. But at that moment, disaster appeared to strike, when the phone failed to ring and Tom's phone appeared to be trapped inside the bottle. The illusionist started performing magic as a young boy after his great-grandfather suggested he used it to escape being bullied. He was living with severe Crohn's disease, a dietary illness which affects the digestive system and meant Mr Frayne - who to this day measures 5ft 6in and weighs just 8st - was small, thin and an easy target for bullies. He was advised by his great-grandfather to learn magic tricks as a way to protect himself. ‘He showed me a technique to make myself too heavy to lift,’ he once recalled. ‘The next time the bullies tried to pick me up, they couldn’t. They gave up and ran away. ‘I never had any trouble again. Word got round the school that I had super-powers, so I got a lot of respect.’ His interest in magic developed, and he took to earning money performing tricks in local bars and clubs. At the age of 17, as word of his talent spread, Dynamo was invited to perform at a US conference to mark the anniversary of the death of Harry Houdini.
