Yesterday evening I watched a TV programme about "Dynamo" for the first time.

How does he do it? Or is it really that he can bend Space & Time?

Here is a video in case you haven't seen him before:

I choose the actor. I observe NT's. I listen to their socializing. I practice it, so in social situations I can just emulate/mimic what is expected.
It isn't natural for me, but it enables me to "fit in".
It is VERY tiring and draining, but at least we can appear like them even though it is an act. Like being on the stage.
They can't see it is emulation, and so we are accepted.

I love his show!!
He did a really cool levitation thing here in Rio de Janeiro (my city), so awesome. He rose in the air just like the statue of Christ the Redeemer in a public place full of tourists!
hmm.. no idea how he does it

Yesterday I learnt how he does the glass illusion.
Basically it slides:

I was dissapointed as I thought he was really bending space & time.

Dynamo has done some cool stuff, like ' walking ' on the River Thames or ' putting ' a phone in a bottle.

I can figure out how he walked on water, he was simply standing on something underneath the water, possibly something towed by nearby canoes.

Here's a whole website dedicated to de-bunking his magic tricks.

Hi Fisplen

I had a look at the website, and in my opinion some of the explanations are just as difficult to believe as it being that he is bending space and time.

As an example, it says that he has a wrist-watch that can generate huge amounts of heat (a watch with a laser in I guess) that can melt through glass. I don't think that such a thing exists.
Maybe I'm wrong.
