A British magician has apparently walked across the River Thames, in front of the Houses of Parliament, and claims that no trick photography was used in the stunt. 28-year-old Dynamo \u2014 real name Steve Frayne \u2014 performed the trick as part of his upcoming TV show Dynamo: Magician Impossible, which starts on the Watch channel in a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n
The stunt was certainly eye-catching and has gained Dynamo a great deal of press. He\u2019s not the first magician to walk on water, with the American Criss Angel having done the same thing a few years ago. It\u2019s widely believed that plexiglass is used in such stunts. However, Dynamo\u2019s walk across the Thames took place in a much less easily controlled environment. Did the production crew manage to get a piece of plexiglass across the entire river? It\u2019s possible, since one of the tricks to magic is to make people discount as impossible something that is merely improbable.<\/p>\n
One would think he couldn\u2019t put plexiglass under such a large part of the River Thames. Of course he could. He\u2019d have to plan it properly, in advance, and get permission [from authorities]. It\u2019s unlikely that Dynamo will reveal how he performed the trick at any point. (Source: You Tube) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
