Dynamo has opened up about his arthritis, admitting it is the ‘worst thing that can happen to a magician’ as so many tricks require sleight of hand.
The magician, whose incredible tricks won him a massive following, developed arthritis as a complication of his Crohn’s disease.
He is currently on medication and ‘80%’ back to full health, telling PA: ‘Every day I wake up and my joints ache and I have to practice a bit more with my cards to be able to perform. ‘It’s almost caused me to slow down a little bit, in regards to my performances. ‘To build up my strength in my hands, I would practice, every day I’d add a new card to the pile, to the point where I was able to hold a full deck again, and start to use the cards how I used to.’ Dynamo
