COMPETITION: Win tickets to see the magnificent Dynamo in Pta

Expect the unexpected when Dynamo unleashes his Seeing is Believing Live SA Tour at Sun Arena, Time Square SA next month.

“We have no idea what to expect or what Dynamo has in store for his fans when he kicks off his first-ever live South African tour at the Sun Arena. But, we have no doubt, it will be an extraordinary and mind-boggling show,” says Brett Hoppé, Time Square SA GM in Menlyn Maine.

Dynamo has known the world over for his superhuman, mind-blowing tricks. He’s walked on water across the river Thames, levitated in front of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro and walked down the outside of the LA times building, predicted the Soccer World Cup outcome and taken a trip on the side of a bus.

Dynamo says of his stage venture: “After four series of Magician Impossible, I was ready for a new challenge and for a long time I wanted to take my show to the stage. Like I did for magic on TV, the live magic show offers fans an entertainment experience never seen before. I can’t wait to amaze South African audiences.”

Over the last six years, Dynamo’s ascent from unknown, working-class magician, from the poverty-stricken Delph Hill estate on the outskirts of Bradford to multi award-winning, global superstar, has been nothing short of miraculous.

In a short time, he quickly established himself as one of the world’s most popular and best-loved magicians, with his TV series airing in over 180 territories worldwide, reaching more than 400 million viewers globally.

He’s the first magician in history to headline the world-famous O2 in London and was awarded the highest accolade by the magic circle with his promotion to Member of the Inner Magic Circle with Gold Star, a position only held by 300 magicians worldwide.

After the hit TV series, Dynamo’s Seeing is Believing stage show quickly erupted from a 10-date run into a year-long world tour as Dynamo spread his magic and filled arenas by playing 127 shows with over 600 000 plus tickets sold making it one of the largest scale magic shows in the world. Dynamo “fever” spread resulting in the highly successful Dynamo UK tour that sold 400 000 tickets and 100 000 in Australia.

Not only has he redefined the shape of modern magic for millennials much like Blaine in the late 1990s and David Copperfield in the 1980s, Dynamo’s approach to large-scale illusion (the big stunts are never pre-publicised and use well-known landmarks as their backdrop) has allowed him to connect with young people and re-energise the genre in a way not seen for a generation.

It is this impact that has helped Dynamo transcend the world of magic to become a bona fide pop culture icon, with giants from the worlds of music, film, and sport enthralled by his performances.

Brad Pitt made a surprise visit to watch Dynamo’s live show with his kids as did fashion icon Kate Moss and artist Damien Hirst. Will Smith called Dynamo’s performance “absolutely astonishing” and Cristiano Ronaldo and Jay-Z have both hired him to perform at private functions.

His South African tour begins at the new Sun Arena at Time Square, Menlyn Maine, Pretoria on Friday, 11 May at 20:00 followed by two shows on Saturday, 12 May at 15:00 and 20:00 and one on Sunday, 13 May at 15:00.
