How about the trick by this laddie:

Which only goes to show, the bigger the lie, the more easily it is believed.

Wow!...that Dynamo kid is doing something more than magic...great way to begin the weekend, thanks for posting Tingra.

One bright day in the middle of night two dead boys rose to fight.  Back to back they faced each other, drew their swords and shot one another.  A deaf policeman heard the noise, and saved the lives of the two dead boys.  If you don't believe this lie is true, ask the blind man, he saw it too.  ~Author Unknown

Sheila, see his other stuff on YouTube, he is brilliant and I especially love the trick where he moves peoples tan lines up their arms The thing is, he does it close up so it's impossible to see the trickery. There was a program about him on TV here last week, he really is a phenomenon

i love the smacking the 10 pence piece through the bottom of the beer bottle...WTF..is he changing the molecular structure/bypassing nature ...because how can you trick that?....and then he taken another beer bottle and twists the glass bottle out of shape..in his hands!

Woah....

He does that with a mobile phone, how the hell does he get a mobile phone into a bottle Its not possible is it? I know it's an illusion, it must be but how does he do it so close up with loads of people around him watching every move? And it's not possible to bend glass but he does it easily! He also defies gravity when he leans back without falling and can bend his bones out of shape........he fascinates me

That, it would seem, is the 'fascinating' part; We know its an illusion but we are still desperate to believe!

Life imitates Art in so many ways!

Got it...just sussed the coin in the bottle...
...and the shoe laces....

I can see how putting the coin in the bottle would work with a hinged trick coin but not getting it back out without breaking the glass, I can't for the life of me work out how he gets the the mobile phone in though. How does he do the shoe laces and the tan line?
In one of his other videos he bends a champagne glass after attaching somones ring to the stem, I can't find it now but it's a brilliant trick and not down to just slight of hand.

He even has a wicky page

I used to do that coin trick many years ago, but then I moved to the States and to my dismay found out you can't use US coins!

Sorry to be a grouch but on that masked magician program ( can't remember what it's called ) "Magic's greatest secrets" ??
They showed how this is done with the mobile into the bottle ! unfortunately it's as simple as a slit cut into the side that you can't see because of the light reflecting around the bottle. I'm sure it's on youtube somewhere

I watched him the other day and he was good but not a patch on Derran Brown
