World of the Bizarre

Man walks across the Thames on foot

Illusionist Steve "Dynamo" Frayne's rise to fame continues as he walks on water across the Thames.
Crowds of onlookers watched as the 28-year-old casually strolled across the surface of the water before being picked up by a police boat. The stunt has generated a great deal of discussion over how exactly this feat was accomplished.
He may be a relatively unknown illusionist, but you could hardly describe Dynamo as being wet behind the ears. And the magician, whose real name is Steve Frayne, certainly proved this was the case as he 'walked' across the River Thames.

....and no footage. Not one person saw him get in, get out,or record it. The clue is in the name.."Magician" = lame trickster to the gullible

WOW! I would certainly love to see this man doing his stunt, but I'm sure there is something behind it. Like Goodnite said, if he is braced it is kinda not as amazing.

....and no footage. Not one person saw him get in, get out,or record it. The article didn't provided video, but it doesn't mean it wasn't recorded.

Still not easy, even if it is an illusion. I'm sure 99.9% of us would lose balance or show too much of the secret. (ETA Unless we practiced a few hundred hours) Either way, there is not enough room in the world for anymore freak magicians. Since Priss Angel is the biggest plastic turd of all those fake audience magicians I'd say start with him. ETA. Stop the presses. DYNAMO????!!! Really?????!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!? OK, nevermind. Criss and his fake audience have little to worry about.

Obviously its an illusion or this guy wouldn't call himself a magician,he'd call himself Jesus-lol I personally think there is like some kind of thick cable attached to where he gets off and the boat(s) in the distance.Sort of like a tightrope under water,but much thicker than a standard tightrope.He still has to have a good balance and a lot of practice to pull this off.The Thames,are at least the area he's on, seems pretty still and not choppy,so it is probably a very good river to do this on

Jesus, get off the Thames. You have some more important miracles to perform.

Guys leave 'Jesus', out. But of illusion and magician, yes it's a trick simple to that! You should try walking on water one of this days? Yeah um-hum, right!
