Right now, I'm going to take you on a journey into my world.

You're going to meet some of my friends, witness some madness, and watch as I

bring some amazement to the people.

In this episode, I give journalist Emma Cox the ride of her life.

Take a road trip to Austria for the Snowbombing Festival.

That was the best thing I've ever seen.

Things take a turn for the worse. I surprised former Pussycat Doll Kimberly

Wyatt. It was absolutely phenomenal.

And give Rio Ferdinand an experience he'll never forget.

My name's Stephen Frayn, but most people call me Dynamo.

Isaac Newton once said, for every action there is an equal and opposite

reaction.

In my line of work, I get to experience this theory every day.

Some

of

the best reactions come from making people's dreams come true. I mean,

deserves a bit of luck once in a while.

Have you ever played the lottery?

Once. Once? Did you win anything?

No. I want to try something.

Okay. Yeah?

I want to take a couple of these tickets.

Check these out, yeah?

Yeah, you guys intrigue me on this.

I got to put my glasses on.

Yeah, these will be cool.

You got your glasses on?

Go ahead.

I'll take yours.

Watch.

Three, one, two, three.

Look, that's for you.

This gentleman has just taken five lottery tickets, blank lottery tickets,

converted them into the Queen's money.

I mean, five.

That's my best Donald Duck act.

When I first started performing, the street corner was my stage. It was a

place to get noticed.

I love the fact that I didn't know who I would meet or how they would react.

What's this?

Oh, that's an old 2P.

Let me try something with this. Watch.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Just hold your hand out.

Hold your hand out, yeah?

Hold it up high.

Nothing in his hand, right?

Yeah? Squeeze your hand tight.

Squeeze it tight.

I'll make the 2P go from there to there. Watch.

Open your hand slowly.

It's there but it's invisible.

But watch if I take it and flick it onto his shoulder.

That's your friend's two feet, by the way. Not many people do that.

Do either of you two have like a bank card or a travel card or anything on

Do I trust you with it? I'll give you the card that I don't use.

And then just hold it out in your hand like this.

Perfect, yeah?

What are you going to do?

Oh, my God, Mally!

Oh, my God! What is going on?

Hold your hand out.

So basically I've been doing this since I was like 11 years old yeah I did it in

Bradford and I didn't have much money at the time so I do it on the streets for

tips don't worry I'm not doing that today but you know doing this for tips

the street you kind of learn you know just from looking at people who's going

give you a good tip you know like it might be by the way they walk or like if

you hear the change jingle in their pocket yeah

I mean, I actually do look at this guy and I think he could be the guy. Have

got any change on you?

I've got some change on me, yeah. Is it in your pocket or your wallet? It's in

my wallet.

In your wallet? It is indeed.

Do me a favour, pull out your wallet.

Oh, you don't want to see my wallet, do you?

Oh, no.

That's my wallet.

That's my wallet.

Just jingle it. I want to hear it. I want to... Well, it's difficult because

it's not moving that way. You have to hold that beer.

I'll hold that.

I'll put this down here, yeah? I think I can jingle it a little bit.

Oh, there we go.

I think I need a little bit more.

Yeah, do me a favor.

Open it up and dump it into your hand, but keep it in a fist so we can't see

much.

Close your eyes.

Done that? I've got it. All right, then you can put your wallet away. All right,

it's difficult with the hands on. Can I give the wallet to your friend? Yeah,

give your wallet to your friend, yeah. He's got my wallet. Yeah, just jingle it

again.

Yeah, that sounds right.

I think I'm right here. So I pulled out one, twenty, two twenty,

two thirty, two forty, fifty, four pound fifty.

Four pound fifty. Look at my hand. Yeah, open it up slowly and count it out so

we can see how much you've got. Okay, we've got one, we've got two, we've got

three, we've got four, we've got four pound twenty, we've got four pound

Oh, it's twenty feet off. And that's all you've got in there, yeah?

We can have another look.

I've got more money than that. But as in coinage, that is your lot, mate. That

is your lot. And you've got nothing in your pocket?

Because I could have swear I could have £4 .50 jiggling around. As I say, I

don't put money anywhere else but in my wallet. Oh, wait a minute. What's this?

What is this?

£4 .50.

Fair play to you. I've got £4 .50 in my hand.

That's a pretty amazing body reason, I think. That's totally suspended.

That is spot on.

When I was a kid, I used to stare at my reflection in the window of a local car

dealership in Bradford.

If I stood in just the right place, it looked as if I was sitting in the

driver's seat of a brand new sports car.

I was the ultimate window shopper.

I could picture myself speeding round the racetrack at 100 miles per hour, the

wheels smoking as I drifted round the corners.

Back then, the idea of becoming a racing car driver was as unlikely as Bradford

City winning the Premiership.

But I used to go back and tell my nan that one day I'd be the greatest driver

all time.

She'd laugh at me and say, I've heard ducks fart in deep water before,

I still don't know what that means.

This is Bradford where I grew up.

It was here that I first started performing.

It was sort of about...

10, 15 years old, he was always walking around doing a few tricks here and

there. It's what he wanted to do.

I said, you just follow your dream, love.

Stephen's one of those people that tried a lot of things when he was younger,

and if he tried it, he wanted to be good at it. To be honest, he's really quiet

when he's Stephen, but then as soon as you put a pack of cards in front of him,

he's dynamo. He said he was going to be the best in the world, and he's been

doing it and doing it and doing it, and it's just got better and better and

better.

He is leading a different life in London, but he comes back here and he's

the same Stephen.

You know, there's no hairs and graces at all. He's just the same Stephen that he

was. My mum owns a hairdresser's in Bradford.

Last time I was there, I put on a special show for some of her customers.

What's your name?

Bev. Bev.

Stephen.

I want you just to think of someone, someone who's not here, but someone who

means something to you.

Mm -hm.

Yep.

For some strange reason, I'm getting, like, an image of Mickey Mouse or

something like that.

Does that mean anything to you? Yes.

I mean, wait, not Mickey Mouse.

The first name's Minnie, right?

The second name... ..kind of...

It's got something to do with wind. Mm -hmm.

So not wind.

Like when you're walking down the street, you feel a breeze. Yeah. A mini

breeze. Yeah.

That's my grandma.

She's not with us anymore, so it's quite spooky.

I'll try something with you as well now.

Just think of someone.

Yeah.

Just think of the first initial.

Yeah. Yeah?

So the first name, just think of the initial.

Have we got any visibles in here?

What was the initial?

E.

Oh, my goodness.

Eloise.

Blew my neck.

I love coming home.

People always stop me in the street with random requests.

Sometimes they just hand me objects, like their keys or mobile phones, and

do something with this.

Open your contacts on there.

Done that?

Yeah. And scroll through and think of one.

Got one, yeah? Yeah.

Just hold the phone flat in between your hands.

Yeah, like that. Perfect.

Sid.

Sid, um, I'm getting something from...

It's Sid, but it's not like a surname. It's like a contractor or contracting.

HHS Construction.

Yes.

Can you show that?

Can you show that up to us?

Sid HHS Construction. You see that, don't you? Yeah. Just think of

a different contact.

Yeah, you got one? Yeah.

Hold your hand up. Yeah, just put your hand on top.

Perfect. Think of it.

This one's more difficult.

Tell you what, instead of finding the contact, yeah?

I'll make it disappear from your phone. I'm going to delete it from your phone.

Gone.

Take a look.

That is crazy.

It's your phone, right? Yeah.

Yeah?

See that?

Watch. What's the apple sign here?

London is my home away from home.

People can be a little more reserved than we are up north, but sometimes it's

the little things that are the most powerful.

So what's your name?

Daniel. Daniel and Ella. I want to try something.

We use just a £2 coin.

Do me a favor. I want you to put the coin, yeah, and just put it on any spot

the table, yeah?

Any spot? Yeah.

Right there.

Move your hand a little.

Take your hand and just hold it underneath the table like this.

Actually, yeah, put it to the table. Yeah, perfect.

That's amazing.

That's brilliant.

Thank you.

Hang with it.

Nice.

That's, yeah, that's incredible.

It just drops from there into Alice's hands.

How's that possible?

I've had another drink.

Thank you.

Former footy cut dog, Kimberly Wyatt, was in town with her new bump, Her

and the Wolf.

So I decided to catch up with her at a jewellery store on London's Bond Street.

Out of all the pieces here, what is about, would you say 200?

Yeah. In the store, if not more. If not more.

I just want you to have a look around the store and just choose one piece.

OK. Yeah. All right.

how about this one which one is that this bracelet wow it looks

beautiful it looks expensive as well

so um yeah

81 000 pounds yes please nice um that's

the one yeah yeah watch

That was crazy.

Let's put it on.

All right, then.

That's perfect.

All right, let's go.

It's definitely real glass.

Yeah.

Being able to reach through the glass and grab my favorite piece in the store,

don't know how he did it, but it was ridiculous.

I saw just a hand take...

Go through the glass and pull out a bracelet.

It makes me feel giddy. I feel like a little girl.

Yeah, we just saw pure amazement.

He came out here and shocked us all.

It was absolutely unbelievable.

Dynamo can do some serious life hand and steel tools at the same time.

Absolutely phenomenal.

It's really exciting!

It's an experience.

I won't forget it.

No, no, no.

Back.

Fully, fully back.

No!

Oh, my God. That is nuts.

When I was a kid, I used to dream about becoming a racing car driver.

Now it was time to make that dream a reality.

I'd been invited to try out the latest Lotus sports car at their race track in

Norfolk.

A journalist from the Daily Mail had heard I was turning up and wanted to get

interview.

But I thought it would be better for her to experience what I do rather than

simply talk about it.

OK.

This helmet would imply that we're going to get some speed.

A little bit of speed and obviously safety.

OK. Comfortable?

Yeah, I'm good. I want to make it a little bit different though.

OK. So we'll pop this visor down. OK.

And... OK.

I can see what's coming here.

Hopefully in a minute. Is it going here?

It is, so hopefully in a minute you will be able to see what's coming. Oh my

god, okay.

This is a little bit frightening.

You're lucky I'm not claustrophobic.

Let me see, I think there's one last bit right there.

Okay, I really actually can't see anything.

So, can you tell me genuinely, can you see anything now? No.

Genuinely not.

I'm going to help you get in the car so you can get in easier.

Mind your head.

Man, it's tiny in here.

I'd set myself a challenge to remember every turn of the racetrack within one

lap, and I decided to take her along for the ride.

So we're going to go do a lap.

Okay. And then, yeah, hold on.

How fast are you going?

I'll be doing 60, but last quarter's a meter.

That's fast.

Okay.

We're going to slow down now before we go into this pit.

I have no idea what this pit is.

It's like an empty pit.

Is it quite scary not being able to see where you're going? It's weird, yeah.

I'm having to put my trust in you 100%. We're going into a second pit now.

Okay.

Oh, I almost saw that. It's quite quick, right?

Really quick, yeah.

How is it to drive?

Right. Yeah.

Looks like sleaze.

I'll bring you over here, right at this spot.

Okay. Close that up.

Now, can you just tell us what sort of experience that was for you? A bit

relieved that it's over.

All right, I'm going to get you to take the helmet off now.

Could you remember any of the track?

No, I mean, you have to sort of read it with your body, I suppose, so I knew

where we were going just when I was leaning to the left and the right, but

that's all how I read it. And you generally couldn't see anything?

Just different shades of black and grey, that's all, yeah.

Luckily for you, I remember all of the track.

OK. So this time I want you to put that on my head.

I'll take this.

You take my helmet.

With me driving you in the bus, I'm just saying.

No, not so much.

You're driving like that?

Yeah.

Are you serious?

OK, do I have to come with you?

I'm only going to be a lap.

Oh, my God, I think he's serious.

Oh, my God, you're insane.

You're completely mad.

Is the steering wheel right in front of you?

Yeah.

OK, I haven't got my helmet on, so you have to wait a minute for me. Have you

done this before?

No.

OK.

That's it.

Your windscreen wipers appear to be going.

You've got the handbrake on.

This is fine, this is normal.

We'll just get five miles an hour, shall we?

We're on the straight.

You are going to remember where the corner is, right?

To the left, right?

Not immediately.

No, it's not to the left anyway.

Oh my god, we're surrounded by cars.

He taped up the front of my helmet.

Couldn't see a thing. But the terrifying bit came when we got out and he said we

were going to do another lap and we were going to swap helmets.

Absolutely petrified.

But an experience.

I won't forget it.

The following week, me and my mate Jalera were invited on a road trip to

Smobombing Festival in Austria.

It's seven days of drinking and skiing, which is awesome, because I don't drink

and I don't ski.

Snowboarding road trip is about to begin, so let's hit the road.

On route to Austria, we joined a convoy leaving from Meereslohn in Kent.

They were an interesting bunch, to say the least.

Luckily, I've got Gileva here.

We're going to do it, innit?

700 miles. All right, cool. We can do that in what?

700 miles an hour would be one hour. So if we do 350 miles an hour, that'd be

two hours.

And divide that in half, we can do it in about four hours.

There you go. Four hours.

No. No?

That's not what's in the schedule.

If you're doing the driving, I don't care.

Four hours.

Gileva's stuck in there.

We'll get there in four hours. No problem. Might ride up.

Okay, friends.

Get in your car, drivers.

Start your engines.

Let's get this show on the road.

I love road trips.

It's not just about getting there. It's what happens along the way of it, pal.

So right now I'm on a boat. We just drove from Pence, Mason and Pence, down

Dover.

We're going to leave the car down here while we go upstairs.

Have a little party on the boat while we travel from Dover to Calais.

Once on board, I decided to hook up with one of the many DJs heading over for

the festival.

So, I'm on the boat from Dover to Calais.

I bumped into DJ IQ, although today...

You're wearing like a full -on baby girl, innit? Yeah, it's the whole baby

thing, you know?

I'm just feeling so wavy right now, man. It does look comfortable.

It is really comfortable.

It's like a living sleeping bag. It is. Where's this wing from? Did it come off?

Yeah, but you've got to give it back to me, though.

All right.

I can't even get it off. There we go.

So we've got IQ's wing.

See that?

Yeah.

Fudge.

Nah, bro, what are you doing, man?

Don't worry, man. What?

Nah, nah, nah.

Bro.

Bro, I've seen it drop in the water.

I actually saw it drop in the water.

Let me try something real quick.

You see my shoe there?

You see that?

Bro, I don't care how sticky you are. It's not in your shoe, man.

Are you sick?

Oh, my God.

Do you want to undo it?

I don't know how you did that, but... Yeah, that's actually it.

Back.

Fully, fully back.

I felt

like

a brick, and with my mate Jaleer in the driving seat... I knew nothing could go

wrong.

So

we're

stuck somewhere in the middle of Belgium.

with the front of our car ripped off.

Luckily the other driver was okay, but I'm thinking there's no way we're going

to make it to Austria now.

Amazingly though, Gennaro managed to get the car running again.

We were

back

on the road, this time with me driving.

We knew this trip couldn't get any weirder.

Or could it?

Welcome to my oven.

Let's know.

In my time, I've been to a lot of places, but I've never been to the top

snowy mountain.

So when I came out to Austria with Jalera, we didn't know what to expect.

It's actually breathtaking.

The sun's shining and you're surrounded by snow, but you don't feel cold.

You just feel like having fun.

Have you had a snowball fight yet?

No. We've never had one.

Instead of having an actual snowball fight, do you want to do me a favor and

build me a snowball?

Not too big, just a bit smaller, will you? Yeah.

That can cover.

Perfect, yeah, and you fold it like this. And can you see that?

And are any of you guys wearing any jewellery?

Come on.

What have you got?

A ring.

See this, right? Yeah.

It's gone, dude.

I just rub over it like that.

It disappears, right?

That's weird.

I just rub my feet. It's gone, right?

You brought a snowball a second ago. I did, yeah.

It's been in your hands, right?

Yeah. Just break it open.

No.

Oh, my God!

That's confetti.

Getting people to build snowboards probably isn't the best idea. I mean, it

only lead to one thing.

A storm clouds gathered over the mountain. The sky started to get dark.

I want to try something.

Okay. I'm just going to...

You see what that is, right? Yeah. What is it? Snow. Snow. Do you feel it? It's

cold and everything, yeah? It's freezing.

You see that?

Yeah. Yeah?

See that right there?

Watch.

Let me try this.

Yeah. Hold your hand up.

What?

What?

How did you do that?

You see that?

How did you do that?

No.

Oh my God!

How did he do that?

Really, how did he do that?

Wow. Oh my God!

That is the best thing I've ever seen.

As evening approached, it was time to head back down the mountain for the

night of the snowboarding festival.

I want to tell you one more thing.

Can I use your bottle?

Yeah.

It's empty, right?

It's empty.

And has any of you got a mobile phone?

Yeah, we've got a mobile phone. So, what's your name, sorry? Sinead. I've

Sinead's phone.

Plastician's photo. Watch.

my trip to the mountains was amazing i'll never forget it but soon the

snowboarding festival was over and it was time to go home

So I'm back in London when I get a surprise invite from legendary

Ferdinand. I'm just checking my Twitter and I've got a tweet from Rio Ferdinand

inviting me to his magazine and five shoes party later this evening.

Go party with Rio Ferdinand.

I always feel a sense of anticipation when I go to events like this.

I never know what kind of impression I'm going to leave.

I'll tell you the next card, the queen of clubs, yeah?

What?

I like dynamo on this one, yeah? You see that?

Watch.

It's in Rio, yeah?

Rio, beach, you buy.

You do know something.

Literally, five minutes, Twitter, Twitter, you've got more followers than

We've both got more followers than you anyway.

Pick on the man in the middle, yeah? We've been here all night.

Name a card.

Jokers. That's funny.

Name a card.

Name one that's in the deck, yeah?

I took the jokers out.

Seven of diamonds.

Seven of diamonds. Do you want to keep that one or do you want to change it?

Five of clubs. Five of clubs, yeah?

It is your party.

Yeah?

Look at this. In my pocket, I've got a pack of cards inside the box, yeah?

One card turned over.

Take a look at that.

Every time I've seen him, I'll sit to him.

that you do one of them.

You're still waiting, man.

I'm going to try one more thing here.

Step back a little bit.

See, I need... There's a jacket. This is a bit too small, so... One

sec. Yo.

Can I borrow this jacket?

This will do, yeah?

Can you help me out? You don't have to move, but just... I just want you to...

Can you just hold the side here?

Yeah?

T, help me out as well?

Help me out as well?

He's got it here.

Like, yeah, back there, yeah.

You guys can see me, right?

Yeah?

You can all see me, yeah?

All right, watch this.

Like, watch this.

Usually you can't see anything.

And he actually reacts to showing, doesn't he?

One minute he was inside, and the next minute he was outside.

Next thing you know, he's knocked outside and walked off.

For me, the reactions are everything.

I love the looks on people's faces.

I live for that.

Everybody reacts differently.

Sometimes they laugh.

Sometimes they're shocked.

Some people even get scared.

But there's always that one moment when I look at them and I see a glint in

their eye and for that second they believe that anything is possible.

Next time on Magician Impossible I take a trip to the US

and bring some magic to the people of Miami.
