Miracles

Born in Bradford in 1984, Steven Frayne was originally taught magic tricks by his grandfather, developing a love for the art that never left. He was given his previous moniker after being called a “dynamo” while performing in New York in 2001 alongside esteemed names, David Blaine and David Copperfield. Launching his career professionally in 2004, Steven acquired celebrity fans after performing magic for them, footage of which was then uploaded to YouTube. In 2011, he launched the TV series Dynamo: Magician Impossible, which ran for four seasons totalling 17 episodes.

He decided to say goodbye to the name Dynamo for good with the Sky Original special, entitled Dynamo Is Dead in December 2023. In the climax to that show, aired live, Steven literally buried himself alive, essentially burying the Dynamo name before re-emerging as Steven Frayne. Speaking on the Diary of a CEO podcast, he explained: “I had so many problems that I couldn't figure out how to even solve one of them. I felt if I'm not here, then everybody else might be happier. I realised then the Dynamo we know, it needed to die, and I'm finally feeling it again. Now I just need to get magic back in my life.”

In his new special, Miracles, Steven does just that by turning his attention to the everyday heroes who perform acts of extraordinary kindness, or miracles, on a daily basis. Travelling the length and breadth of the country he unearths the real gems who help to lift those around them and celebrates their selflessness and positive attitudes by involving each of them in his urban and street magic.

Sky Post Production worked hand in hand with Expectation TV once again to bring Steven's unique brand of magic to the screen. The BAFTA nomination in the Entertainment Craft Team category is just reward for the brilliant execution of a terrific, creative vision!
