Dynamo: Turning illness into magic
Crohn's disease has affected the world-famous magician all his life but it's also inspired some of his biggest and best tricks.
Steven Frayne, aka Dynamo, isn't your usual white-gloved magician pulling rabbits out of hats. His tricks have seen him walk on water and stroll down the side of a huge building. He's one of the world's most celebrated magicians but it hasn't been an easy path to success for the British entertainer. His entire life has been hampered by Crohn's disease, a debilitating inflammatory bowel disease. But this adversity has been the source of inspiration for some of his best tricks. This programme was first broadcast in June 2020.
