Magic fans were left unimpressed after they spotted the wires holding Dynamo up on top of the Shard skyscraper in central London.
The illusionist has previously wowed fans by levitating above a double-decker bus, but the weather appears to have caused problems for the trick over 300m up between the two upper points of the Shard as members of the pubic on the ground complained of being able to see the wires.
On Twitter, @Kent_999s complained that it was “not much of a levitation illusion if you can see the wires”, while @MaryLynchKY complained that the illusionist was “fake”.

However, others are more surprised by the outrage that Dynamo’s stunt was not real magic, as @OnlyAwkwardBob said:
“Why are people moaning that you could see Dynamo’s wires as at the shard. Did they actually expect him to fuckin randomly levitate.”
@Pepsi_Punk agreed, commenting
“Did folk not realise he can’t actually fly?!”
