Cool Trick From Dynamo

[m4rk84]

Not a very well concealed trick. His arm stands out a mile away, very obvious judging from the video. Good tricks can be awesome, this however was not a good trick.

 

[brendy]

Just seen this how does he do it?

Bet you wish you had never asked now...

Here's the full version in HD with extra footage, the bits of him getting up and down from his spot are just cringe worthy.

 

[D.P.]

Very simple indeed.

He is supported by metal work across his shoulders and maybe waist connected to the bus through supports along his right arm.

This, it was obvious within like 5 seconds. Watched ot the end to see if he ever lets go of the bus, nope.

Should be in the youtube thread! Naughty!!

 

[D.P.]

Wow that must be magic. lol

Or am I just stupid

There is a support column that goes up the inside o the water pouring put - this support column is also the intake pipe for the water.

Cool trick but simple.

Not sure whats worst, that it somehow passes for illusion these days or the cringe worthy commentary in the video.


EDIT: To be fair its a pretty cool in a "stunt" sort of way but not even in the same league as a decent magic/illusion trick.

No, I think it was sarcasm, hence the username "thick cockney"

What are you on about?

never gonna drink another pepsi.

It has a coolness as a kind of obvious trick and I would watch him go past, but the sheer look of shock and bewilderment of some of the passersbys, WTF? Some of the spectators look and act as though Jesus walked from the Thames.

 

[MadFruit]

Hmmm... disappointment. Was hoping the bus he was attached to passed another bus a little too close and smashed him off.

 

[aardvark]

pretty rubbish 'trick' - if anyone with half a brain can figure it out in less than 3 seconds it hardly qualifies as a trick.

 

[Dano]

Fake arm.

If he wants to impress he needs to take his right arm away from the side of the bus

Like all of his illusions, I find them pretty much crap.

+1, I really fail to see what the fuss with him is.

He does some quite cool stuff but then ruins it with this sort of thing. Same as when he "walked on water". When there is only one simple explanation for how an illusion is done, its never going to be very good.

Everyone knows that magicians and illusionists are tricking us, the good ones just do it in a way that is hard to figure out rather than rehashing tricks that are old and simple.

Nothing Dynamo does is remotely new or interesting.

[ikillbears]

magicians are always such weird people.

 

[Jonnybmac]

a lot of the videos he does are paid actors apparently.. hes just like conspiricy theorie videos.. people just believe they must be real and not setup

 

[Kishywish]

Same technique used by the many people levitating around Covent Garden. I can't believe that anyone is unable to work this out in less than three seconds.

The Covent Garden ones are cooler because it's obvious some thought had gone into the props and method of hiding the supporting metalwork.

An 'arm' is just lazy.

I wonder how much it cost the tax payer to have the police riding alongside as well for his 'trick'
