Bradford-born Dynamo thanks NHS for saving his career

The magician formerly known as Dynamo has said he would not have been able to return to performing were it not for the NHS.

The 42-year-old, whose real name is Steven Frayne, who suffers from both Crohn's disease and arthritis, said the pain in his joints became so severe he "could not even hold a pack of cards".

He praised the "magic" of the NHS, who helped him manage his health, and recalled the moment he decided to "bury Dynamo" and re-start his career under his real name.

Speaking at Advertising Week Europe 2025, the Bradford-born performer added: "I resonate with what the NHS does because I would not be performing again without their help."
