Derren Brown might have (according to one theory) helped Sherlock miraculously survive his seeming leap of death but it’s his fellow illusionist Steven Frayne who’s actually dared to pull a similar stunt.
Frayne, best known as Dynamo, has levitated alongside a double-decker bus and “walked” on the Thames, while last night’s preview screening of the latest series of Dynamo: Magician Impossible showed the Bradford native fall from a rooftop, crash to the ground and walk away without a scratch.
The series also includes cameos from Coldplay and One Direction — “When I first met them 1D scallywags I didn’t have a clue who they were,” laughed Frayne, who was on stage at the Ham Yard Hotel after the screening.
“We’re just pawns in Dynamo’s games,” said a stunned Chris Martin on screen. “He’s probably been writing our songs for years.”
