He's bringing magic into the public eye in the UK. I work in a comedy club doing close up magic, and keep getting asked if I know of A) Dynamo and B) The Masked Magician.
Personally I'd rate neither of these as good performers, but they do have very large budgets which help. Today I was asked if I could walk on water by a kid like Dynamo, but then was also asked if I could make a balloon Hedgehog.
They have both made an impact on magic, and its up to us as performers to show people that what can be done on TV can also sometimes be done live in front of there eyes, and if we can do that, they're usually happy.
