I knew it was a trick. Dynamo's double-decker bus trick is BUSTED. See fellow illusionist pulled off levitation stunt with a fake arm

He left many of us scratching our heads as to how he did it - but we may now have the answer.
With a beaming smile on his face, celebrity illusionist Dynamo was pictured floating across Westminster Bridge on Sunday while ‘levitating’ from the side of a double-decker bus.


But photographs have emerged of artist Johan Lorbeer performing a similar act on walls - and one taken after he got down shows a metal pole, which appears to have supported his weight.
This has led Australian website news.com.au to conclude Dynamo, 30, was in fact using a fake right arm for his magic trick on the bus - with his real arm tucked inside his clothing.

Mr Lorbeer has performed a similar stationary act in Egypt, France, Spain and Germany, which sees him appear to defy the laws of gravity and be able to float 10ft off the ground.
Remaining in these positions for hours at a time for his 'still life' performances, the German-born artist said that he is acting in the manner of a sculpture or statue.



Bradford-born Dynamo, whose real name is Steven Frayne, had travelled alongside the two-storey bus in central London with the palm of his hand apparently placed on the roof.
He hung in mid-air with his other arm stretched out as he crossed Westminister Bridge. A police escort cleared the way for Dynamo’s daring feat, ensuring there was no traffic around the bus.

A spokesman for Dynamo declined to comment when approached by MailOnline today.

What do they want him to comment?. We all know every magical act is a concealed trick known possibly only by the person performing the trick and those working with him.
But nothing hidden that shall not be unveil one day, his own unveiling came quicker than I guess he thought possible.
