Exclusive: Dynamo is conjuring up a new magic series for Sky.
The British illusionist, real name Steven Frayne, is in pre-production on his latest series, which has the working title Dynamo: Mind Over Magic.
As is not unusual for magic shows, Sky is keeping its cards close to its chest on the details of the series, but sources say it will include a “twist” on the genre.
The Dynamo series will be produced by Expectation, the production company behind Sky’s David Schwimmer comedy Intelligence.
Dynamo has traditionally collaborated with Phil McIntyre Entertainment on his TV shows, so the move Expectation marks a change of direction. He still owns his own company, Inner Circle Films.
Dynamo’s last major TV show was the 2020 limited series Dynamo: Beyond Belief, which was also broadcast by Sky.
Before this, he made four seasons of Dynamo: Magician Impossible for UKTV, the BBC Studios-owned broadcaster behind channels including Dave.

It’s been 8 years since the Bradford-born Dynamo first hit our TV screens, with an initial appearance on Richard and Judy marking the start of a rapid rise to becoming a bona fide global sensation.
Easily equalling the likes of other legendary street magicians like David Blaine and Derren Brown, Dynamo has continued to amaze audiences with his uniquely baffling tricks as well as winning our hearts with a refreshingly quiet and humble demeanour.
Most of us know him best for his award winning TV show, Dynamo: Magician Impossible, where he performed for the general public on the street as well as big name celebrities like Natalie Imbruglia, Will Smith and Samuel L. Jackson, and over the years he’s proved himself to be adept at a huge array of different styles of magic.

Hoping to replicate the success of the award-winning Educating Yorkshire, Channel 4 have shifted their cameras to a comprehensive school in Walthamstow, London.

Dynamo has confirmed that the upcoming fourth series of Magician Impossible will be the last.
Speaking at the launch of the new episodes last night (August 12), the magician - also known as Steven Frayne - explained that the time feels right to bring a close to his hit Watch show.
"It will be tricky to top this series, so I think it's always good to leave the audience wanting more," he said.
After joking that he had worked his production team too hard, Dynamo continued: "I genuinely do think that in regards to television magic, I've pushed the boundaries and reached a level that I think would be difficult to top at this moment.
"I just think there's so many other things magically that I'd like to try and go into. This is the last of Magician Impossible, but it's not the last you'll see of me."

TV magician Dynamo has revealed to Digital Spy that being bullied as a child was the inspiration for one of his most famous tricks.
Watch our interview with Dynamo:
The illusionists's stunt, where he walked across the River Thames, stemmed from his years growing up on an estate in Bradford and being taunted by local children.
"There were some kids who used to throw me down the dam," said Dynamo.
"They used to take me down and throw me in and I used to panic."
Dynamo used to tell his grandpa that he wanted to "walk on water" so that he could deal with the bullying and said that performing his stunt on the Thames while his grandpa was still alive was his proudest achievement in his career.
Dynamo: Magician Impossible is available to buy on DVD and Blu-ray now.

BBC One and ITV have attempted to bring magic back to primetime on a number of occasions in recent years, but without fail it's always bombed. Why they haven't got their chequebooks out for Dynamo and snaffled him away from UKTV remains almost as big a mystery as some of the Bradford lad's tricks.
The third series of his Magician Impossible show launched this week and if I could only watch one show again from the last seven days, I'd make it this.
One of the biggest problems with magic tricks is that they are all variations on a similar theme. Dynamo's repertoire is no different and the majority of his skits in this opening episode can probably all be explained with a similar methodology.
But it's his down-to-earth Yorkshire charm and the swanky production that means I don't care if he's basically pulling off the same trick with...

Dynamo has said that filming in New York during Hurricane Sandy completely changed his approach to work, admitting that the disaster brought back his hunger for magic.
The TV magician was shooting an episode for his award-winning third series of Magician Impossible in New York in 2012 when the natural disaster hit the Us East Coast.
Speaking at the launch of his series last night, Dynamo said that he was moved by the power of New Yorkers, who rebuilt the city, and said that it changed his perspective on what his TV show should be about.
"I wanted to come back hard with series three, show that I'd matured a little bit. I've got a new hairstyle and things," said Dynamo.
"But after the hurricane... it changed my perspective. I wanted to make it less about me and more about the people of New York.They brought the magic to this episode.

Oscar Pistorius is to appear on 'Dynamo: Magician Impossible'. The Paralympian - who has been charged with the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, who he admits shooting but denies murder, saying he mistook her for an intruder - will be seen taking part in a magic trick as part of the illusionist's tour of South Africa on the third season of his show. TV channel Watch considered axing the scene featuring Oscar, but have decided to air the footage unless any ''major new evidence'' comes to light in the South African's case.

The TV BAFTAs are back this Sunday (May 12) and we're jolly excited. The BAFTAs are the closest that Britain has to its own Emmys, allowing our TV talent to put on their best suits and glad rags and slap each other on the back for a couple of hours.
Graham Norton blends a sharp wit with professionalism as the host, the nominations shortlist pulls off the tricky balance of populist choices with critics' favourites and, most importantly of all, Ant & Dec don't win every single year.
The TV BAFTAs may not always get it right (Towie? Really!), but they take TV seriously and even if they are occasionally a bit stuffy or they get it wrong with a winner, it still gives us a chance to all have a right good row ("So and so was robbed!" "How did that win?!") while sat on our sofas at home.

This week we've gathered such glorious goss on the likes of Fresh Meat and Hannibal that really, you should be worshiping us like Gods. We're talking being fanned with palm leaves and a massage using the finest essential oils. We'll settle for a 'thnx' in the comments though...
When does Fresh Meat series 3 begin filming?
E4's uni-com (that's 'university comedy' for the uninitiated) has to be *the* most popular show with Tube Talk Q&A readers - you lot want fresh Fresh Meat scoop every seven days!
Luckily, this week, we can oblige - read-throughs for series three have begun, with filming set to commence in the near future for an autumn broadcast. Check out Fresh Meat co-creator Sam Bain's tweet below for proof.

Less than 20 TV shows have reached more than one million metro viewers in a week for the first time since the current OzTAM system began 12 years ago.
The milestone was hit in week 47 of the TV ratings year – the week before last.
When the consolidated ratings – which cover both overnight viewing and catchup recordings viewed over the next seven days – were issued, the 20th most watched show of the week was Seven’s airing of the magic special Dynamo: Magician Impossible. Its consolidated audience was 998,000.
While top 20 shows will have scored below 1m viewers outside of the 40 official weeks of the rating year several times before, this is the first time it has occurred while the networks have been in competition.

Nine and Seven have shared the honours in the 2012 ratings year which officially came to an end at the weekend.
Nine won the year in the key advertising demographics of 16-39, 18-49 and 25-54 while Seven won across total viewers.
Because of lower ratings over the summer and during easter, the networks agree to only officially do battle for 40 weeks of the year.
Seven won 30 of the 40 weeks in total people, leaving Nine to claim 10 weeks across the five city metro markets, according to consolidated data from OzTAM.
In 16-39, Nine beat Seven by 25 weeks to 13, with Ten winning two weeks. In 18-49 Nine beat Seven by 22 to 18 weeks. And in 25-54 Nine beat Seven 21 to 19 weeks. These figures include the Olympics.
Excluding the Olympics, Nine and Seven tied in the 25-54 demo.
