Dynamo to bury himself alive in December live special

The programme will culminate in the performer – real name Steven Frayne – burying his own grave, where he will lay his creation to rest. 

In the run-up to the finale, Dynamo will go on a mental health journey. At rock bottom, the magician struggles with loss of identity, but manages to find the strength to move onto the next chapter of his life and career. 

Along the way, he reaches out to such famous faces as Cara Delevingne, Tyson Fury, Demi Lovato, and Steven Bartlett. Each conversation gets Dynamo closer to the empowerment necessary to let go of the past.
