Like his grandfather before him, Dynamo grew up practising precision card handling and developed powerful magical skills. Some of his tricks are subtle tweaks on nature and reality (reviving a dead leaf to its natural shade of green before rejoining it to the branch of a barren tree that has shed its leaves) and sometimes he uses extraordinary forces to stunning effect, for example performing his spectacular Matrix-style levitation, and, yes, even walking on water! barclaycardarena.co.uk 0844 338 8000 Sat 19th Dec at 2:30pm / 7:15pm ALADDIN @ Birmingham Hippodrome, Birmingham Aladdin : Marti Pellow, Julian Clary, Lee Mead, Matt Slack, Andrew Ryan Marti Pellow, Julian Clary, Lee Mead, Matt Slack and Andrew Ryan are announced as stars of the spectacular pantomime extravaganza Aladdin.
