Bradford beating Arsenal in the
League Cup was a huge shock
– but they might have taken
the 'magic of the cup' literally
with the biggest magical football
fan in the world behind them. Magician Dynamo has been
astonishing audiences and stars
around the world with his magic
tricks. But he could've pulled off the
biggest one of career willing his
hometown club Bradford to a
win against Arsenal. Dynamo took time
out from his stage show
to support his team on tuesday. His real name is Steven Frayne He was born in Bradford on
December 17, 1982 He first learnt to perform
illusions from his grandfather
and developed the skill during
trips to New Orleans. . In June, 2011, Dynamo was
photographed apparently
walking on water, crossing the
River Thames on foot in front
of the Palace of Westminster. He has performed with the likes
of Rio Ferdinand, Gary Neville
and David Haye. Later that year, he announced
that he had joined the
magicians' society the Magic
Circle. The 29-year-old had a claret
and amber bedroom growing up
from as early as he can
remember – two walls claret,
two amber, Bradford wallpaper
and bedspread. And he said: 'I definitely like to
think I had a little in-put. My
main focus last night was the
match even though I was on
stage doing the biggest show of
my career. I wanted to get off stage to see Bradford. It was
all I could think about, I was
willing my team to win. 'I'd like to think Thomas
Vermaelen missing that penalty
could've been something to do
with me. I'm going to give
Bradford the credit they
deserve but I was thinking about them.
