Categorised under the topic of Performing arts.

That this House is equally baffled and in awe of the Bradford-born magician and illusionist Steven Frayne, aka Dynamo; notes that he grew up on the Delph Hill estate in the city, born to single mother Nicky Shoesmith, then 16; understands that he was taught the rudiments of magic by his late grandfather Ken; approves of his lifelong support for Bradford City football team; congratulates him on his astounding feats of magic and illusion, including walking on the water across the Thames in front of the Palace of Westminster, something many here may have aspired to but are unlikely to copy; and believes that in his studying of his art, his hard won expertise and self-deprecating manner he has become not only the world's finest illusionist and an inspiration to countless thousands of children but a blazing ambassador for the city which nurtured him.
