Dynamo Announces First UK Tour in 10 Years Starting in Salford

Acclaimed magician Dynamo, now performing under his real name Steven Frayne, has announced his first UK tour in 10 years. The tour will include a series of dates in Salford, where he will reprise his celebrated show Up Close and Magical at venues across the country in early 2027.

Tour Details

The tour kicks off with a week of performances at Salford's Lowry Theatre from January 17 to 21, 2027, and will conclude with an emotional homecoming for the illusionist in Bradford. Dynamo first rose to fame in the early 2000s and has since performed magic tricks for dignitaries and celebrities worldwide.

Return to Performance

Last year, Dynamo returned to the stage, earning four-star reviews from both The Guardian and The Times for his Up Close and Magical shows at London's Underbelly. Now, he is taking that show on the road for his first major UK tour in a decade.

The show is billed as a unique showcase of magic from across Dynamo's incredible career, welcoming audiences of all ages. The tour promises to "blow your mind and leave you questioning how he makes the impossible possible."

Global Legacy

Since bursting onto the scene two decades ago, Dynamo has created a global legacy, impacting and inspiring millions worldwide. He has achieved sold-out arena tours, Sunday Times bestsellers, and multiple award-winning titles.

Announcing the tour on Ticketmaster, a statement highlighted his remarkable feats: walking on water, levitating above the Shard, walking down the LA Times Building, predicting the World Cup outcome, and taking a trip on the side of a bus. The statement noted, "But now, Dynamo announces his biggest challenge to date as the renowned street magician will take to the stage as he embarks on his first ever live tour."

Honours and Recognition

Dynamo has been bestowed with the highest accolade by the Magic Circle, promoted to Member of the Inner Magic Circle with Gold Star, a position held by only 300 magicians worldwide, including HRH Prince of Wales.

Dynamo's Statement

Dynamo said today: "Over the last few years I've fallen back in love with magic in a way I never thought possible. Performing this show reminded me why I started this journey in the first place, not for television or big stunts, but for those moments of wonder shared between people. That's what Up Close and Magical is all about. After an incredible run in London, I'm excited to take the show across the UK in 2027 and share that feeling with audiences around the country."
