" Hello." " You all right?" " How are you?" " I'm very well." " Nice to see you." " lt's been a while." "It has, yeah." "When's the last time I saw you?" "I think at a party at your friend's house."

"Give me your hand." "I'm getting it's somewhere warm, so it's somewhere warm." "Try and picture this place." "This is easy 'cause you're from there, but I'm thinking it's somewhere in Australia?" "Is that right?" "Yeah." "I'm not wanting to give anything away." "I'm kind of..." "I think I'm seeing sort of mountains or like like water, maybe water coming down a mountain or..." "Like, a river." "In Australia, you have, like, creeks, right?" "Some sort of creek, like..." "Just think of the name of the place." "Cur..." " Currumbin..." "Is it Currumbin Creek?" " Ah!" " Currumbin Creek?" " How could you possibly know that?" "I could just pic..." "I could see it, like..." "Nobody knows that place." "Tell me about it." "What is it?" "Where is it?" "It's this creek that goes into the ocean." "It's called Currumbin 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 we're in right now," "I kind of like it." "It's quite eccentric." "Do you think they'd notice if I took one of these?" " You wanna take a butterfly?" " Yeah." " I don't know." " I'll put it back." " You'll put it back?" " Yeah." "All right." "They're only..." "I think they're only stuck on there." "Oh, OK."

"Right?" "Blow." "Oh!" "Watch." "Oh!" "Hello!" "Oh!" "Oh, my God!" "Oh!" "Oh, my God, that was amazing!" "Hello!" "Oh, wow!" "Oh, my God." "I don't know what just happened." "I'm in shock." "Wow." "Wow." "I was so focussing 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." "Get out of here!" " Too easy." " Three, four..." " I've never seen anything like it." " Doesn't seem real." "How did he even do that?" "You'll wanna see this next 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 Mix Master Mike." "I'd met Travis when he was over in the UK, so it was good to catch up with him and meet some of his friends." "Master Mike." "Hello." "Legend." "Has anybody got a quarter?" "Awesome." "See that?" "Take the quarter and then write your initials on both sides." "And then if you wanna hold that up for the camera." "Everyone see that?" "Watch." "It's gone." "Yeah?" "Sorry, sorry." "Just..." "Cup your hands together." "Put them together like this." "Open them up, yeah?" "Let me step back here." "Can you verify, is that your coin?" "Can you see that underneath?" "Get underneath this." "See that?" "See his initials?" " Nick." " Yes, sir." " You look pretty strong." " OK." "You come from a strong family, so I'm gonna pick on you right now." "Just step into my office right here." "Oh, man." "I weigh, like, 112 pounds." "Yeah?" "I'm a small guy." "So next to you, I look like a really small guy." "So you should be able to lift me, right?" " Yeah." " Pretty easily." "Just, without breaking my ribs or anything, just lift me up." "He can lift me up, right?" "You can see my feet off the ground." " It wasn't that difficult, right?" " Not too bad." "He didn't look like he was straining at all, did he?" "No?" "I want you to get ready to lift me." " OK." " Yeah?" "But don't lift me till I say so." "Just look at me." "Just lift me up." "No, get out of here, no." "This guy weighs a ton right now." "I'm not kidding, dude." "I swear!" "OK, how'd you do it?" " I gotta do it to my dad." " Oh, we'll talk." " I gotta do it to my dad." " We're coming for you." "You're next." "So we just literally met for the first time tonight, right?" "Yeah." "Do me a favour." "Think of a number between one and 1,000." " Got it." " Got it?" "Mm-hm." "Just look at me." " 574." " Get out of here!" "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?" " Um, just like warm up." " Warm up, yeah?" " Yeah." " 'Cause when I perform," "I like to warm down." "Sounds a bit weird, but I'll demonstrate it. lt's easier." "Yeah?" "You ever taken a pulse before?" " A pulse?" "Yeah." " Yeah." "So we're gonna take it on my radial artery, yeah, like this." "Hold..." "Feel it?" "And then if you take a drum stick and just beat out the rhythm." "Whoa!" "Wow." "I mean, his pulse completely stopped for probably about ten seconds." "That was crazy." " That's so scary!" " wow." " I'm not sure." "I was more like..." " Could you really feel his pulse?" " Yeah, his pulse completely stopped." " I thought it was just crazy." "So he basically died for ten seconds and came back." "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 hospitalized 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 gonna 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!" " Too easy!" "...four, five, six," " seven, eight!" " Could you just wipe my brow?" "You can bench-press me." "Can you bench-press that?" "All 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?" " Yeah." "One, two, three." "Lift it." "Go on, Wayne." "Can you go any higher?" " I don't think that's..." " Put the fives on." "We'll put..." "Yeah, fives, yeah." "And we'll put just seven and a half on each side, yeah?" "It's not 20, is it?" " You gonna do this?" " I can barely lift my feet." " You gonna spot me, yeah?" " Yeah." "Just don't drop it, 'cause I'm probably not gonna be much help." "He don't need help." "Come on, Wayne." "Make it tight." " You ready?" " Yep." "OK." "Two, three, up." " Go on." " Go on, Wayne." "Breathe." " Press, come on." " Push!" " Push!" " Come on, boy!" "Come on, Wayne!" "Push!" " Push!" " A little bit more..." "Holy moly!" "Done." "No more." " No more?" " No more." "You know, you struggle to lift that, so someone of my stature, pretty impossible for me to lift this sort of weight." " No way." " Call the ambulance in advance." " Sounds like a challenge, then." " No chance." "All right, I'm gonna try it." " No special effects." " Normal warm-up routine." "You ready?" "OK." "Bring your hands here." "That's it." "God!" "Go on." "All yours, all yours, all yours, all yours, all yours." "Cheers." "Wow." "Ah!" "Wow." "I don't think it's possible." "I don't believe it's possible." "I was watching very carefully as that weight was pressing down on his arms just to see if I could see what he's doing, but..." "I was amazed." "I was amazed." "He was straining there, but he was actually pushing that weight." "Amazing, amazing." "Absolutely incredible." "If Wayne was struggling and he did it, it's incredible." "When you see it first-hand..." "You see it on TV, you think it's like edited or something." " Never seen anything like it." " Doesn't seem real." "That's dangerous." "That's..." "That's amazing." " Bloody hell." " That's impossible!" "BBC Radio 1, and this is Scott Mills." "There's a lot of excitement about this." "Dynamo is coming in." "This is Scott Mills." "It's 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 might know him." "He's a magician." "It's your job to look after that box until Wednesday, when Dynamo comes in to do the trick, whatever it's gonna be." "I love the idea of being able to change thee future, to turn a bad situation into something good." "I've got a lighter here." "I want you to hold onto that for me." " OK." " 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." "Just let go." " Yeah." " Let go." " Yeah..." "Can I borrow the lighter?" " Yeah." "What?" "!" "Watch." "One, two, three." "Jesus!" "How did you do that?" "Wow." "You could see its mouldering and kind of bits were coming off of it." "And then, um, like, he let go, and then literally I checked my T-shirt and there was nothing wrong with it at all." "It's normal." "Just the same like normal." "I don't know. lt'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." "One for you." "One for you." "And one for you, yeah?" "Show the camera." "Don't let me see." "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." " In my top pocket." " Jesus Christ!" "What's crazy, yeah, look at this." "There's no pocket there." "Mad." "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, watch, disappear." "So there's only one card in my hand." "And that's yours." " Can me and you work together?" " What do you wanna do?" "Make some money, work for money." "It's just knocked me over." "That's dangerous." "That's..." "That's amazing." "I've got a pack of cards here." "Are they all different?" " Yeah." " Happy with that?" " Yeah, yeah." " Cool." "What I'm gonna do is I'll give a third of the pack to you." "So we'll take, say, that's about a third, right?" "I'll give those to you." "Like that." "And then I'll give a third of the deck to you." "I just want you literally to..." "I'll turn away so I can't see it, yeah?" "...just to break at one card and remember it, yeah?" " Right, OK." " I'll turn away." "Don't let anyone else see your card." "Just break at one and remember it." " Have you done that?" " Yep." " Both got a card in mind?" "Yeah?" " Yeah." "Put the cards like that in your hands." "So there's no way that I can get to 'em." "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 spread through them." "Has your card gone?" " Huh?" "!" " No way." " No way!" " No way!" "Just name your card out loud." " Ten of hearts." " And your card?" " Two of clubs." " Two of clubs." "And they've definitely gone from here, right?" " Yeah." " They're gone." " Have I touched you guys?" " No." " How the hell did you...?" " Reach into your pockets." "No way did he do...!" "How?" "!" "How did he do that?" "Amazing." "But how did you do that?" "How?" "!" "That's impossible, bro." " That's impossible!" " That's too much." "That is the craziest thing I've ever seen." " That's shocking!" " How did he even do that?" " I don't know." " How did he even do that?" "Where is that guy?" "Where is that guy?" "I don't even know where he's gone." " What's your name?" " Cy." " Cy, Dynamo." " Nice to meet you." " And you are?" " Nahar." " Nahar." "Nice to meet you." " Nice to meet you." "I get to travel." "I'm quite fortunate." "I travel a lot to do my magic." "I've travelled all over the world." "Yeah?" "Do you travel a lot, you guys?" " Yep." "All the time." " Yep." "OK." "Just think of a place right now." "It might be somewhere you've been." "Might be somewhere you want to go to." "Just..." "You got a place in mind?" " Yes." " OK." "You just... you changed your mind." " Begins with "C", right?" " Yeah." "It's, um..." "See, for a second, I thought you thought of Cancun." " Yes." " But you changed your mind, didn't you?" " Cincinnati." " That is crazy." "That is actually crazy." "Bloody hell." " That's nuts." " How'd you do that?" " How'd you do that?" " Read our mind." " That's mad." " lt's his eyes, that's what it is." " It's his eyes." "That is ridiculous." " He was Looking in." "Amazing." "Is it possible to know what someone's going to think even before they do?" "Can you do me?" "I wanted to try a little experiment on one of the street artists in Central London." "Make me look good, yeah?" "You ready?" "Ha!" "That's awesome." "That's wicked." "See that?" " Can I show you something?" " Yeah, you certainly can." "Have you got a spare sketch pad?" " OK." " All right, 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." " All right." " Yeah?" "You got something in mind?" " Yeah, I've got something in mind." " I'm gonna draw something at the same time." "Yeah?" "So I want us to turn back to back, so we can't see what we're drawing." " That's fine." " When you've finished, hold it against your chest so nobody can see it." " That's fine, yeah." " We'll stand here, back to back." "Yeah?" "Right?" "So start drawing." " You almost finished?" " Yeah." " Hold it to your chest." " That's right." "And then face the front like me." "Yep." "Can you show everybody what you've just drawn?" "Yeah." "Of course, yeah." "Let's have a look." " Explain what it is." " Well, it's a car." " It's a car, like a truck." " Yeah, sort of." "Obviously I'm not a professional like you." "You're an amazing artist, yeah?" "But I draw something drew something, I think you'll admit that's pretty similar." "That was good." "Yeah." "It's amazing." "I'm impressed." "That's a good one, yeah." "That was a very good one." "How did that happen?" "But we've had that box, oh..." "I'm just pulling that face like off a fish." "We've had the box since Monday." "3.03 and Katy Perry on BBC Radio 1." "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 with your presence today, Dynamo." "Liz is from West Sussex, and her husband just rewinds your tricks all the time." "So, like, they're watching, going, "Again, again."" "Um, "Dynamo's amazing, and I love him because he makes me shout at the TV."" " You've got loads of Twitter followers." " Quite a few, yeah." "If you want to follow me, @Dynamomagician." "There we are." "And a TV show now." "Yeah, Magician Impossible." "It's quite nuts." "Actually, the cameras are in here today, 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 asked you to do, though, today was, as well as the box," "I asked you to bring in a selection of today's newspapers." " Yes." " Which I can see there's 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." " Any one?" " Yep." "Just grab one." " All right." " Which one have you got?" " I've got the Metro." " The Metro." "So that's one of today's paper, all the papers are from today." " Wednesday, July 20, 2011 ." "Yes." " Awesome." "I want you to have a look through and find a positive story." " OK." " Something that's good" " that you can read out on the radio." " OK, 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." "Right." " What are you gonna go for?" " I don't know." "Hang on." " So a good news story." " Yeah." "No, this one's all right." "It's about the Olympics." "Benny Benassi and "Cinema" on BBC Radio 1." "This is Scott Mills, and Dynamo is here." "Hi." "Hi." "So, Scott, you picked a story." " Do you wanna read it out?" " OK." "It's about a record-breaking mountaineer called Kenton Cool, and it's just a nice story about him" " and the Olympics, really." " What's the headline of the story?" ""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?" "Uh, yeah." "Absolutely." "Yeah." "'Cause I've actually got to head back up to Bradford very soon." "I won't be able to stick around for the whole interview." "But I did say I wanna leave you a gift before I go, which is right here." "I'm gonna leave that with you." "And, yeah, it's been awesome coming on the show." " Thanks." " Thanks for having me." " Thanks, Dynamo." " 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 open it..." "Open it now!" " We allowed to open it now?" "Yeah, do it." "Hang on." "This is gonna take a while." "Uh..." "There's quite a lot of tape to 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." "OK, let's open the box." "I'm scared of opening it." "Hang on." "Is this the right key?" "Yay, I'm in!" "OK." "Envelope inside." "What's this?" "Uh, OK." "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 says, "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 fish, you know, with your mouth wide open." "I don't actually know what to say." "I can't get my head round that at all." "But we've had that box all..." "We've had that box..." " The paper was only printed today." " We've had the box since Monday." "OK, good, let's play a song and let me just try and get my head round 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, 'cause 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 and went," ""Bye." "I'll leave you to work that one out."" "Now, I don't know how that happened." "A lot of people are saying," ""lt's obviously a different box." I promise you..." " No." " That box hasn't been out of my sight." "I'll tell you why, also, because I didn't believe that he wasn't gonna swap 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," " 'cause it was there, look." " Yeah, it's still there." "As I reached the end of the road," "I'll never forget the people I've met along the way." "There really is no such thing as an ordinary person." "Everybody has the power to be extraordinary, no matter where they come from or 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." "What's the deal?" "From there to there." "How did he do that?" "Wow!" "God knows where you come from." "I don't know how he did it, but it was ridiculous." "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God!" "That was the best thing I've ever seen." " Fully, fully baffed." " There's a man walking on water." "Like a modern-day Houdini or something like that." "Get out of here." "Oh, my God!" "How did that happen?" "How... did that happen?" " Hello?" " It's me, Nan." " Who is it?" " Steven." "Let me in." " Oh, we've moved, love." "We've moved." " Come on, just open the door." "You gonna let me in or what?"
