Early career

Frayne was given the name Dynamo in 2001 while performing at Houdini's centenary celebrations at the New York Hilton [10] in front of magic peers including David Blaine and David Copperfield. [11] Impressed by Frayne's magic display, a member of the crowd shouted out: “this kid is an effing dynamo”, and the name stuck. [12] [13]

In 2003, Frayne was given a loan from the Prince's Trust, allowing him to start his business and invest in camera equipment. [13] Frayne moved to London in 2004 to build a career in magic, [14] [15] and his plan was to create the first ever 'magic mix-tape'. [16] He set out with a small team to film his performances on the streets of London and backstage at events, after he had been permitted entry by impressing doormen and tour managers. [14] Within a year, Frayne had created footage with Coldplay, Gwyneth Paltrow, Snoop Dogg and more. [17] He quickly developed a fanbase after posting the clips on YouTube, helping to boost his profile to a wider audience. [14]

Professional career

Frayne grew up for a time on the Delph Hill estate in Wyke, [75] one of the most deprived areas in the UK at the time.
