Magicians can amaze people like no one else in our world.And one of them is Dynamo, who impressed one and all with his blockbuster show, “Magician Impossible”.So, be it his famous lean back levitation or the fountain ice trick,Hello and welcome back to FactoFusion, today we are gonna unlock the top secrets behindDynamo’s greatest magic tricks of all time.So, let’s get started.Dynamo, the magician beyond magic, performed the trick in which he froze thecomplete water fountain by defying all the rules and laws of physics.You might be even wondering as to how come he was able to do that.The trick is very much a planned trick of Dynamo, as usual.To begin with, he touches the water and the water starts to freeze into ice.But that did not actually happen, and here’s the secret.There was already a layer of ice at the bottom of th e fountain water, which was made to riseabove by pulling the water downwards.Also, to amaze the audience more so, Dynamo even froze the fountain water source.

Well, if you look closely, the ice flow is actually narrower than the stream of water,

which makes it possible that the frozen stream of ice was already present, and water was

made to flow over it.Which was later stopped, that made it to look like the stream of water was also frozen.Dynamo once performed a trick, in which he takes an iPhone from a woman and in one quickmoment turns it into a small phone.

He then takes a glass bottle from a man, puts that small phone in that bottle and here comes

the final part of the trick: he converts that small phone back to the original

bigger iPhone.

Someone then calls the number, to verify if it is indeed the same iPhone of that women.So, how did dynamo actually perform this trick?Well, here’s the secret: Before this trick was performed, Dynamo hadalready taken the woman’s iPhone, may be during a previous trick or somewhere else,and gave her an identical copy of iPhone.Then, they started filming this trick, with the woman already holding a fake iPhone.

So, Dynamo takes her iPhone, with the audience thinking it’s her real iPhone.

With an impressive sleight of hand, he inserts the iPhone into his jacket using a gimmickcalled Gecko, which pulls the phone into his jacket using elastic bands.At the same time, he pulls out a smaller version of the phone from his left sleeve which he

had already prepared, and then fits this small phone into the empty bottle given by the man,

who is also a stooge.For the final part of the trick, the bottle you see now has been exchanged withthe previous bottle.And it was during this camera cut when the bottle was exchanged by the third stooge in this trick.Now, this already prepared bottle has a black card which separates the replica of smallphone and the woman’s original iPhone which was taken before the trick.Here, the iPhone is hidden behind the card which blends with Dynamo’s black T-shirt.If we pause here, you can see the outline perfectly.

Now, to convert the small phone back to the original iPhone, Dynamo just rotates the bottleand shows the original iPhone, with the small phone hidden behind the card.Here, you can also see Dynamo’s thumb going down which confirms that he rotates the bottle.At the same time, he makes that black card and small phone disappear using the gecko

technique explained earlier.He finally returns the iPhone left in the bottle to that women, and of course it ringswhen her friend calls, because it is indeed her original iPhone.You all must have seen Dynamo’s famous video, where he was seen walking on the water ofThames River.

But how did he do it?

Well, the answer surely lies in the plexi-glass.

Plexiglass, when submerged into water is almost hard to find,Because the density of plexiglass is almost like water.Plexiglass are clearly supported by plexi-tubes, and many magicians have tried the same variantin swimming pools and water lakes.But no matter where it’s performed the answer surely and always is plexi-tubes and plexi-glasses.Dynamo performed one of the greatest levitation acts ever performed by any other magician,of levitating 1,016 ft above the streets of London at top of the Shard.But if we take a closer look at what actually happened while filming this trick,Then it’s not a magic trick, but a clear result of filming and photography.The set was already prepared to film this trick with cables attached to Dynamo, to pullhim upwards and make the sense of levitation to the audience.Dynamo stood in a mysterious position, seeming to gather his supernatural powers.

He was then lifted in the air using the cables attached to him and finally making him to

levitate in between the clouds.

An obvious question that might struck your mind is that, where are the cables in this video?

The video before being aired had went through complete color correction and editing, which

hides the cables and gets them merged in to the background.
