Dynamo Author & Illustrator

Dynamo was born Steven Frayne in December 1982 in Bradford. He grew up on the notorious Delph Hill housing estate, where he was raised by his mother while his father spent long periods in prison. At the same time, he was forced to battle a debilitating form of Crohn’s disease as well as playground bullies.

After being introduced to magic by his beloved granddad and receiving a loan from the Prince’s Trust, he carved out a career as one of the most respected magician and illusionists in the world.

His TV series Dynamo: Magician Impossible has broken all viewing records for UKTV channel Watch, has won three Broadcast Awards and received nominations from BAFTA, the Royal Television Society and National Television Awards. In January 2014, the show aired on BBC One.

Dynamo now lives in London where he continues to dream up even bigger and better illusions to prove to the world that really nothing is impossible. This is his first book.
