Steven Frayne (born 17 December 1982), commonly known by his stage name "Dynamo", is an English magician, best known for his television show Dynamo: Magician Impossible which ran from July 2011 to September 2014.
Frayne was born in Bradford, England to an English mother and a father of Pathan ancestry. He suffers from Crohn’s disease, which has made him small in stature his whole life. He was bullied as a child, and one of the first magic tricks he learned was something his grandfather taught him to make it seem as though he was very heavy so that the other children could not pick him up.
Dynamo's first radio appearances were on Richard & Judy, followed by a Channel 4 special entitled Dynamo's Weapon state that of Mind. He then released a DVD and has since appeared on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, Fatherhood, and at the MTV EMAs (where he performed for the Foo Fighters, Nelly Furtado, and Joss Stone).
He has appeared in ads for Adidas, Nokia, and Pepsi and appeared on the catwalk for Naomi Campbell's Fashion for Relief. In May 2009, Dynamo levitated Little Britain comedian Matt Lucas four feet off the ground in front of a crowd at the Emirates Stadium in London.
On 25 December 2009, Dynamo appeared on the Soccer AM Christmas Special and performed magic for the show's presenters Max Rushden and Helen Chamberlain, as well as fellow guests David Haye and Neil Ruddock. On 19 March 2010, he appeared on BBC One in aid of Sport Relief, where he appeared to turn lottery tickets into cash in front of Robbie Williams and Davina McCall. Later in the show, he performed a levitation in front of James Corden and a live studio audience.
