30 Apr 2024
TW: This episode contains discussion of suicideLiving in fear, burying the past and discovering magic in unusual places, Steven Frayne is one of the most successful magicians of our time, having overcome health issues, bullies, and an alter-ego that came to be too much to live up to.Having destroyed his alter-ego, Dynamo, in December 2023, Steven chats to me about the beauty of naiveté, arriving in London on a £1 Megabus from Bradford, to taking a leap in the states, which ultimately led to him to find the persona of Dynamo. It’s a story inspired from humble origins of watching his grandfather perform magic [06.55], which has enabled him to overcome shyness and connect with people all over the world [28.22]. Steven also opens up about finding light after dark times [34.59]AND of course, Steven blows me away with some sleight of hand, and real magic. This episode is truly inspiring and shows that everyone has their own magic to share…If you enjoyed this episode, please click follow - we have so many great guests like this one, you won't want to miss out!You can also follow us on Instagram and Tiktok @greatcompanypodcastTHE CREDITS:Exec Producer: Jemima RathboneAssistant Producer: Gurlina HeerBooking: Ben JohnsVideo: Jamie GilbertGreat Company is an original podcast from JamPot Hosted on Acast.
