BBC Radio 1, and this is Scott Mills.

Dynamo is here. Hello. Good afternoon.

How did that happen?

There was just a pile of papers there. How can you do that?

But we've had that box all... We've had the box since Monday.

I don't know how... How could you... How would that be possible?

I'm just pulling that face like off a fish.

You know, with your mouth wide open. I don't actually know what to say. I can't

get my head around that at all.

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

From the city of angels to the streets where it all began.

In this episode, I leave Travis Barker stunned.

Natalie Imbruglia gets in a flat.

I don't know what just happened. I'm in shock. And I make headlines with Scott

Mills live on air to millions of listeners. How did that happen?

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

There's something magical about Hollywood.

It's where the stars of the future are born.

I arrived in LA late at night and headed to Mel's Famous Diner to meet up with

Miss California, Mariana Hewitt and some of her friends.

Name the first playing card that comes into your mind.

Queen of Hearts. Queen of Hearts, yeah?

You could have had any card, right?

Yeah?

Look at this. I'll do it really slowly.

In my top pocket, yeah?

Do you want to reach in there and pull out what's inside?

One card.

You're lying to me.

No.

No way.

That's so crazy.

That's so wild. I'm going to play a game.

Yeah. Do you guys know the fork and spoon game?

No?

All right.

I'll educate you on the fork and spoon game. It's really simple. I've tried it

few times.

So we've got fork and spoon.

Hence the fork and spoon game. All right.

And I'm going to go on.

Who shall I start with?

We'll go with you.

Yeah?

I'm going to put this on my back.

I want us to think of one.

Yeah, even a fork. Yeah, a spoon or a fork.

Look at me.

Yeah.

I'm going to go for this one.

Name out loud the one you're thinking of.

Oh, man.

Okay, I'll tell you what, watch this. You wanted a fork, right?

I'll take my coffee.

Just stir it in the coffee.

In the car when I was doing it literally, but only you ladies single at

moment

Can you tell me the sort of qualities you look for in a guy?

Funny, confident, successful.

Funny, magician.

Awesome. Makes things disappear.

Makes magic happen.

Makes magic happen. Right.

I think you were perfect for this. I want to try this.

Is this your phone?

Mm -hmm.

Can you open up the calculator?

Yeah, we'll tell you. If you take the calculator, you know how to work this,

yeah? Uh -huh.

Yeah? I want you to... We're going to create a random number, yeah? It's not

going to mean anything right now, but in a few minutes it might, yeah?

So I want you to start with... This number's got to be unique to you.

So put in your date of birth.

And then hit multiply.

Yep. And now put in any random three -digit number.

Three digits?

Yep.

Hit multiply.

And to finish with, put in the exact time right now, which should be on the

of the phone right there.

923, yeah?

And hit equals.

So right now we've generated a pretty random big number, right?

Yeah. Yeah? Have you got your phone?

Yeah. Can you just pull it out?

You're single at the moment.

You know, I'm trying to help you out here.

So we've created this number. I want you to call...

The number.

I'm hoping it's someone at the other end of the line that's got the call that

you're looking for.

So you put out a sticker?

No, it's fine. You can... Is it ringing?

Is that your number?

That's my number.

I'll call you later, alright?

The next day, I headed down to Bar Marmont on Sunset Boulevard to meet up

an old friend of mine, the beautiful Natalie Imbruglia.

Hello. You all right? How are you?

Nice to see you.

It's been a while. It has, yeah.

When was the last time I saw you?

I think at a party at your friend's house.

My leaving party to go to Australia. Yes, your leaving party to Australia,

yeah. But you've been, like, everywhere since then.

Well, yeah, I went to Oz and did X Factor. I was a judge on the panel,

good fun.

I want you to think of a place.

It could be anywhere in the world, but make it somewhere that's special to you.

Okay.

Okay. That place of mine? Yeah.

Can you just give me your hand?

I'm getting somewhere warm.

Somewhere warm.

Try a picture of this place.

This is easy because you're former, but I'm thinking it's somewhere in Australia

All right.

Yeah, I'm not wanting to give anything away I'm kind of

it's my one. I think I'm seeing sort of mountains or like I'm not like like

water maybe water coming down the mountain or Like a river or we're in

of like Creek right some sort of Creek like

Just think of a name of the place.

Co... Coimbin?

Is it Coimbin... Ah!

Coimbin Creek?

How could you possibly know that?

I could just pick... I could see it, like... Nobody knows that place.

Tell me about it. What is it? Where is it?

This creek that goes into the ocean, it's called Coimbin Creek, and it's...

Absolutely divine, and I can't believe you just did that because nobody knows

that I've been there.

Speaking of beautiful places, like this place right now, I kind of like it. It's

quite eccentric.

Do you think they'd notice if I took one of these?

You want to take a butterfly?

Yeah.

I don't know.

I'll put it back.

You'll put it back?

Yeah. All right.

Yeah, only stuck on there. Oh, okay.

Just put your hands together like this.

Yeah, just put them really flat like that.

Awesome. That's awesome.

So look.

See, look, if you blow, it almost looks like it's fluttering, like it's alive.

Right? Brilliant.

Oh!

Much. Oh!

Hello!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God, that was amazing!

Hello!

I don't know what just happened. I'm in shock.

Wow.

Wow.

I was so focusing on the one butterfly and next thing I know I was just

surrounded.

That was beautiful. That was amazing.

All the ones from the wall.

So they all... I can't wrap my head around it.

I've never seen anything like it. You can do that. You'll want to see this

bit. Dynamo is here. Hello.

The LA nightlife is crazy.

I've been invited down to a launch party by world -famous drummer Travis Barker,

who's performing live on stage with Beastie Boys DJ Mixmaster Mike.

I met Travis when he was over in the UK, so it was good to catch up with him and

meet some of his friends.

Legend. Has anybody got a quarter?

Awesome. See that?

Take the quarter and then write your initials on both sides.

I mean, if you want to hold that up for the camera.

Everyone see that?

Cut your hands together.

Put them together like this, it'll open up.

This type of game is very competitive.

Can you verify, is that your coin?

Can you see that underneath?

Get underneath this.

See that? See the initial?

Nick. Sir.

You look pretty strong.

Okay. You come from a strong family, so I'm going to pick on you right now.

Just step into my office right here.

I weigh like 112 pounds, yeah? I'm a small guy, you know?

So next to you, I look like a really small guy.

So you should be able to lift me, right?

Yeah. Yeah, pretty easy.

Without breaking my ribs or anything, just lift me up.

You can lift me up, right? You can see my feet up to the ground.

It wasn't that difficult, right? Not too bad.

It didn't look like you were straining at all, did it?

I want you to get ready to lift me.

Okay. Yeah.

But don't lift me till I say so.

Look at me.

Just lift me up.

Nah, get out of here, though.

This guy wins a ton right now.

No, I'm not kidding, dude.

Okay,

how'd you do it?

I gotta do it to my dad.

We're coming for you. You're next, right?

We just literally met for the first time tonight, right? Yeah.

Do me a favor, think of a number between one and a thousand.

Got it.

Just look at me.

Five, seven, four.

Get out of here.

No, this guy's too much.

No, this guy's too much.

That's exactly what I had.

I'm a little freaked out.

For sure.

You know when you go on stage?

right yeah do you have like a ritual that kind of calms you down i'm just

warm up oh yeah yeah when i perform i like to warm down sounds a bit

weird but i'll demonstrate it easier yeah have you ever taken a pulse before

pulse yeah yeah so we're gonna take it on my radial artery here right there

feel it and then if you take a drumstick and just beat out the rhythm

His pulse completely stopped for probably about 10 seconds.

That was crazy.

I'm not sure, I was more like... Yeah, yeah, his pulse completely stopped.

So he basically died for 10 seconds.

That was crazy.

It was time to head back to the UK.

where I had a big interview coming up with Scott Mills on Radio 1.

When I was younger, I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, an aggressive

condition that attacks the intestines.

It can make you feel weak, and I ended up being hospitalised several times when

the illness was at its worst.

But in a funny way, it actually made me stronger and more determined.

There was no way it was going to get the better of me.

Despite my illness, I'm a strong believer in mind over matter.

I recently headed down to meet one of the UK's top personal trainers and ex

-Gladiator star, Wayne Gordon.

at a police training facility in North London.

You can bench press me, right? Do you reckon?

Ready? Yeah. Got it, got it, got it.

Easy.

Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

You just wiped my brow.

You can bench press me.

Can you bench press that?

Right.

The weight Wayne is about to lift is almost three times my own body weight.

Right. Just relax, Wayne. Relax.

You good?

On three, yeah?

Yep.

One, two, three. Lift, yep.

Can you go any higher?

Put the pipe on?

Yeah, pipe, yeah.

And we'll put just seven and a half on each side, yeah?

Not too funny, is it?

Are you going to do them?

I can barely lift my feet.

Are you going to spot me here?

Yeah.

Don't drop it, because I'm probably not going to be much help.

You don't need help.

Go on, mate.

You ready? Yep.

Okay. Two, three, go.

Come on, boy.

Come on, Wiley.

Push, push.

Push, push. A little bit more, a little bit more.

Holy moly.

Done. No more.

No more. No more.

Yeah, you struggle to lift that.

So, someone of my stature, pretty impossible for me to lift this sort of

No way.

Call the ambulance in a minute.

Sounds like a challenge here.

No chance.

All right, I'm going to try it.

No special effects.

Okay, bring your hands here.

Sit.

All yours, all yours, all yours, all yours, all yours.

I

don't

think it's possible.

I don't believe it's possible.

I was watching very carefully.

And that weight was pressing down on his arms just to see what he's doing. But I

was amazed. I was amazed. He was training there, but he was actually

that weight.

Amazing. Amazing.

Absolutely incredible.

Wayne was struggling, and he did it. It's incredible.

Can you see it firsthand?

Fried or boiled?

No,

I've never seen anything like it.

That's dangerous.

And that's amazing.

BBC Radio 1 and this is Scott Mills.

There's a lot of excitement about this.

Dynamo is coming in.

This is Scott Mills.

5 .20 now on Radio 1. Becky, have you seen this?

No, what is it, please?

We've got this box and it's been delivered by a man called Dynamo. You

know him as a magician.

It's your job to look after that box until Wednesday when Dynamo comes in to

the trick, whatever it's going to be.

I love the idea of being able to change the future, to turn a bad situation into

something good.

I've got a lighter here.

I want you to hold on to that for me.

Just keep it safe, yeah? OK.

What I want you to do is, can you just take your T -shirt and just pull it out

like that?

Yeah, right there.

Perfect. I'll take this. Let's let go?

Yeah. Yeah.

I've got a lighter.

What? What?

Watch. One, two, three.

Jesus. How did he do that?

Wow. You could see it smouldering and kind of bits were coming off of it.

And then he let go and then literally I checked my T -shirt and there's nothing

wrong with it at all. It's just normal, just the same like normal.

I don't know, it's weird.

That's crazy.

I still love the energy I get from performing on the streets.

When I first started out, I could barely shuffle a pack of cards.

But nowadays, it's like they've got a life of their own.

I want one for you.

I want one for you.

I want one for you, yeah?

Show the camera, it's all I need, see?

You done that?

Yeah?

I'll take this one first, that's one.

Your card.

Two. Three cards, yeah?

I'll give them a shuffle.

That looks fair, right?

Yep. I'll give them a shuffle like this.

Watch this.

Ready, yeah? Your card, watch.

Boom. Done.

My top pocket.

That's crazy, yeah? Look at this. Look at this. There's no pocket there.

Jesus! You're mad.

I've got a back pocket, and I think that's your card.

And then, for you, instead of finding your card, I'll make all the other cards

disappear.

There's only one card in my hand.

That's not true.

No, no.

It's a menu work together.

What do you want to do?

Make some money. We're for money.

It's just knocked me over.

That's dangerous.

That's amazing.

I've got a pack of cards here. Are they all different?

Yeah. Yeah? Happy with that?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool.

What I'm going to do is I'll give a third of the pack to you.

So, yeah, we'll take, let's say, about a third, right?

We'll give those to you.

So like that and then I'll give a further the deck to you

And I just want you literally to I'll turn away if I can't see it yeah, just

break at one card and remember it yeah? So I'll turn away, don't let anyone else

see your card yeah, just break at one and remember it Have you done that?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've got a card in mind yeah?

Put the cards like that in your hands So there's no way that I can get to them

yeah?

Perfect. Keep thinking of your cards. Look at me.

Done.

Done. The cards are now gone. Just turn your pack over like this and just spread

through and there's your card gone.

Huh?

No way. No way.

No way.

Just name your card out loud.

Ten o 'clock.

And your card? Two o 'clock.

Two o 'clock. And they've definitely gone from here, right? Yeah. They're

Have I touched you guys? No. How the hell did he do that? Reach into your

pocket.

No way did he

do that. How? How?

How did he do that?

Amazing.

But how did he do that?

How?

That's impossible, bro.

That's impossible.

That is the craziest thing I've ever seen. That's shocking.

How did he even do that?

How did he even do that?

Where is that guy? Where is that guy? I don't even know where he's going.

What's your name?

Zai. Zai. Dynamo. Nice to meet you.

And you are? Neha.

Nice to meet you.

I get to travel, you know, I'm quite fortunate. I travel a lot doing my

you know, I travel all over the world, yeah?

Do you travel a lot, you guys?

Yeah. Okay.

Just think of a place right now some way you might be somewhere you be might be

somewhere you want to go to Just then you got a place in mind.

Yeah You just change it you

change your mind up it up begins with C, right? Yeah, it's um Yeah

for a second I thought you thought of Cancun yes, but but but you changed your

mind did you

Is it possible to know what someone's going to think

even before they do? I wanted to try a little experiment on one of the street

artists in central London.

Can I show you something?

Have you got a spare sketch pad?

Look at me.

I want you to think of something and I want you to draw it. But don't do a face

or a person because you do them all the time.

Have you got something in mind? Yeah, I've got something in mind. Alright, I'm

going to draw something at the same time.

So I want us to turn back to back so we can't see what we're drawing.

When you're finished, just hold it against your chest so nobody can see it.

That's fine, yeah. We'll stand right here, back to back. Alright.

So,

start drawing.

You're all finished?

Yep.

Hold it for your chest.

That's right.

And then press the front, like me. Yep.

Can you show everybody what you've just drawn? Yeah, of course, yeah.

Explain what it is.

Well, it's a car, mate. It's a car, like a truck, yeah? Yeah, sort of.

Obviously, I'm not a professional like you. You're an amazing artist, yeah? But

I draw something.

Do something.

I think that's pretty similar.

That was good, yeah.

It's amazing.

I'm impressed.

That's a good one, yeah. That's a very good one.

How did that happen? But we've had that box all... Just pulling that face like

awful fish.

We've had the box since Monday.

303 and Katy Perry on BBC Radio 1. And before that, Bruno Mars and Grenade.

Afternoon, this is Scott Mills. You can watch us now on the live cams if you go

to the Radio 1 website.

If you can get to a computer, then do it, because you'll want to see this next

bit.

Dynamo is here. Hello.

Good afternoon.

So many of our listeners have been on. Very excited that you are gracing us

magician impossible it's quite nuts i've actually the cameras are in here today

yeah you know and this will probably be on the show If you're watching on your

computer, this is the safety deposit box that Dynamo handed to me on Monday

at Radio 1. And we were told not to tamper with it, not to open it. What I

you to do, though, today, as well as the box, I asked you to bring in a

selection of today's newspapers.

Yeah. Which I can see is a big stack there. Yeah, there is.

So can you just put the box down to the side, but obviously don't let it out of

your sight, and just pick one of the newspapers?

Anyone? Yep, just grab one.

All right.

So which one have you got? I've got the Metro.

The Metro, so that's one of today's paper, right? All the papers are from

Wednesday, July 20th, 2011, yes.

Awesome. I want you to have a look through and find a positive story.

Okay. Something that's good that you can read out on the radio.

Okay, well, I'll have a look through.

We'll play Benny Benassi. I have absolutely no...

idea what this has got to do with the box or anything, but I'm sure it'll all

become clear, won't it, Dynamo? It will. All right, then. This is Radio 1.

What are you going to go for?

I don't know.

It's a

good

news story.

Yeah.

I know this one's all right. It's about the Olympics.

Benny Benati in cinema on BBC Radio 1. This is Scott Mills and Dynamo is here.

Hi. Hi. So, Scott, you picked a story.

Do you want to read it out? OK.

It's about a record -breaking mountaineer called Kenton Coole and it's

nice story about him and the Olympics, really. What's the headline of the

The headline is, we've a lot to be proud of.

Now, would you agree that it would be impossible for somebody to know before

today that you would read that story out on air?

Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah.

Because I've actually got to head back up to Bradford very soon. I won't be

to stick around for the whole interview.

But I did say I'm going to leave you a gift before I go, which is right here.

I'm going to leave that with you.

Right.

Yeah, it's been awesome coming on the show.

Thanks. For having me. Thanks, Dynamo. Yeah, I hope you enjoy the gift.

And he's off.

Wow.

Open it.

All right.

Do we have to wait for him to leave?

I'm just going to open it. Open it now. Are we allowed to open it now?

Yeah, do it.

Hang on a minute. It's going to take a while.

Quite a lot of hate.

Get off. Hang on.

I need to...

Get the tape off where I open it. Hang on.

Bear with me, everybody.

This is Radio 1. Okay, let's open the box.

I'm scared of opening it.

Hang on.

It's about tea.

Yay! I'm in!

Okay.

Envelope inside.

Not this.

Okay, so it is a drawing of exactly

the same page of the Metro that I just picked out.

Let's have a look. Let me show this to the camera now.

Oh my God, he's drawn the man and everything. He's actually drawn the man.

He's got a red top on in the picture and he's drawn it in a red. Yeah, and the

headline is, we've a lot to be proud of, London 2012.

And the bottom picture's the same as well. Torch relay. How did that happen?

How did that happen?

And even, like, there's kind of, like, little stories underneath about, it

an inspiring pair, and then he's put inspire and various words that

are on the original paper. Really freaked me out.

I'm just pulling that face like off a fist.

You know, with your mouth wide open. I don't actually know what to say. I can't

get my head around that at all.

But we've had that box all... We've had that box... Well, the paper was only

printed today.

Oh, we've had the box since Monday.

OK, good. Let's play a song and then let me just try and get my head around

this.

I have absolutely no idea how you would do that. I don't know.

it's uh it kind of just dawned on me that actually we've had that box since

monday so how would you do that because it's today's paper clearly says the date

on the top so i have absolutely no idea how he did that and i like it how he

just disappeared afterwards went by so i'll leave you to work that one out

Now, I don't know how that happened. There are a lot of people saying, well,

it's obviously a different box. I promise you, that box hasn't been out of

sight. I'll tell you why. Also, because I didn't believe that he wasn't going to

spot the box.

So in the top left -hand... I'm such a loser.

In the top left -hand corner, we drew a little black dot so that I'd know if it

was the same box afterwards. And it exactly is, because it's there, look.

it's still there. Yeah.

As I reach the end of the road, I'll never forget the people I've met along

way.

There really is no such thing as an ordinary person.

Everybody has the power to be extraordinary, no matter where they come

what their circumstance.

It's just a matter of belief.

Some people think it's impossible to change the future.

But in reality, the future is only what you make it.

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

That was the best thing I've ever seen.

Bully, bully, bop.

Man walking on water.

Like a modern day Houdini or something like that.

Did that happen?

How did that happen?

It's me, Nan.

Who is it?

Stephen. Let me in. Come on, just open the door.

You gonna let me in or what?
