demonic magic leads to death.. do not watch it .
Thank you so much for having that wonderful man in your show! Most of the time I like the people and subjects you choose, but I've always had particular, even fatherly feelings for Dynamo (I'm 65) and would have been really proud if he were my son. It must have been my subconscious that felt he was missing something. After seeing the show, I got the whole picture.
Oh man! that was a tough and great episode.
My eldest was obsessed with Dynamo and after I asked what he wanted for his 16th, he said “Dynamo to come to our house” I managed to find Dynamos agent and he agreed to come to our home. He stayed for ages and was such a beautiful young man, performing right in front of my son and his friends, amazing magic. We were allowed to video close up and we still have the tapes. That was 2006. Steven/Dynamo, you still have that exact same charisma and we all wish you every success for the future. You have a beautiful and magical aura 🙌🏽🤗
What a lovely story. Thank you for sharing.
Oh wow that's amazing ❤
Yo that’s fuckin siiiiick. So cool you sorted that too. Good on ya. Great parent.
That is an epic story!
Absolutely here's to a great comeback and future.
I remember when Dynamo first appeared on TV, and thinking he was extremely humble for someone so talented.
I wish him health and happiness for the future.
Hi I think you have gone through more than most,
And my opinion is that you are suffering more from loss
Than anything else, loss of your childhood,your father
Loss of the ability to do the things you used to do,due to your illness
Loss of the bond with your mother,the list goes on
Think understanding things that have affected you the most
Is the first step towards getting through the crap
I hope all goes well for the future
The most humble and inspirational person I've ever seen (on tv and UA-cam) 💖
carnviore diet heals everything...from obesity, anxiety, depression, mood swings, brain fog, gut issues etc etc it's a longgg list of healing. Carnivore diet is a elimination diet that heals the gut, organs, brain etc.
channels: dr ken berry, shawn baker md podcast, kelly hogan, steak and butter gal, home stead how (he lost 100 pounds, got off all rx drugs and healed his depression), dante carnivore freedom (something like that), nutrition with Judy, dr chaffee and a ton more.
look into this if you have any health issues. you will be healed by eating meat, eggs, fish, shellfish, dairy.
channels for fasting: Dr Mindy pelz (vids 7 types of fast, what to drink on a fast, refeed on after fast), Dr Ken berry, Dr Jason Fung, Dr berg, Dr Eckberg etc
that body knows how to heal it's self....fasting allows this healing.
library will have books on fasting & carnivore. many start off with keto diet then move to carnivore.
cheers to good health everyone. take care
Sitting alone in your bedroom practicing slide of hand for thousands of hours isn't talent. It's a longing for attention motivated by loneliness. "Magicians" perform carrying pity on their shoulders, and this was never more apparent than with this guy.
@@michaelc3977 There's an element of deceit in there as well. You're literally tricking people into believing something that's untrue, for personal gain. It's sneaky at best, and has its roots in the old pick-pocketing days.
Thanks for being yourself. I moved to London about 11 years ago. I always hoped to meet you on a street performing some magic like in one of your series. Last year, in one of the most unexpected times for me and most unexpected place, while walking out on a street outside my house, you saw me wearing a Dynamo sweater I bought during your tour years ago, and you stopped me and smiled at me. You pulled over your car, came off and showed yourself like the most humble human being I ever met. It was one of the most amazing times in my life. I could barely say something to you so I was shocked while shacking your hands. Please stay strong! You let us dream everyday! Thanks for sharing your story. ❤
P
Wow!!! 🥰🥰🥰🙏
Dynamo. I hope you find Jesus Christ. He's the only one that can heal your brokenness and pain. Literally.
Jesus Christ made you beautiful and whole. Your purpose and everyone else is to have a relationship with him. That's why we are in existence.
Not everyone accepts I know. But believe me, he is the way, the truth and the life.
He will give you his peace, he can set u free from anything.
Don't give up!
Praying for you, bless you🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@traceycharles4910 stop with this shit...
"I didnt feel like my life was worth sharing". Yet this might be the most important talk you have ever shared.
I felt that when I had a breakdown, I was almost catatonic and couldn't speak my brain had shut down. My Dad told me after my recovery that at the time he thought I was on drugs?! Because I was so zombie-like and my eyes seemed dead. x
He sounds like he's broken he's totally lost and in a very bad place. Maybe he sold his soul to the devil to be a great magician and now he's in a very bad place he needs to repent ASAP and ask jesus to forgive him and ask God to accept him. He's suicidal obviously and lost he needs to repent and beg for jesus to forgive him. This man is in a very very bad way
Yes fully agree.. ❤
This is your best guest ever, he’s so humble in the best, dignified way, he’s so courageous only partially aware of his talents. This is the best I’ve seen from you too, very sensitive, respectful and genuine. He has been so hurt; the world needs people like this who speak from the heart. I really like the way he sees and experiences magic in the world and in every day relationships.
You couldn't of worded this more perfectly! 👍
You mean Cup haircut !! 😀
When I first saw your act, I just wanted to be like you. So be proud of who you are and what you've achieved.
You could also pass your knowledge and wisdom to the younger generation by teaching them what you know, someone like you is a plus to the world and can not go to waste.
@@nd5550 Your name ?
Listening to him talk about his childhood and upbringing was tough man. Can’t stand bullies, make me sick. What a resilient man.
I hate bullying & narcissists who bully!
@@florence1395100% agree add child rapists, rapists and hate crimes to that list.
Totally agree.
I wonder how much of the bullying and infliction he endured in his abdomen brought on the Chron's disease.
@@dianekeogh the stress could have triggered Crohn's, but auto-immune diseases are complex at best. I lost my wife to internal haemorrhaging caused by long term effects of Crohn's Disease in 2011 and our middle daughter was diagnosed with Crohn's on her 16th birthday, eight weeks later.
@Gazpal that's tough buddy. Sorry to hear that you and yours are going through the ringer @ the moment
My son is a magician & his inspiration was you. He hated school & he became self taught & you are his hero.
💜💫😘
That’ll make his day that he also inspired someone else! What an amazing guy to have overcome so much and stayed so humble! Anyone can make babies It takes a real man (or woman) to be there for their children to teach their children right from wrong & be a proper parent! Dynamo shows how he chose the path less travelled became an honest man and survived against the odds! ❤️🩹
Is your son involved in the Occult?
What a beautiful soul. My heart hurt when he said he was thrown into the pool as a boy by the cruelty of bullies. Thank God there was one good boy who helped him. Bullies are weak cowards.
Also, this shines a light on the importance of kids having Granparents in their lives.
I send you many many blessings Steve and renewed health. May peace, happiness and laughter fill your beautiful heart and soul. ❤
It's not the tricks that make him a great entertainer/magician but his personality, and that cannot be faked. A true star.
Dynamo isn’t just a magician who entertains he’s a magician who touches hearts too. I applaud him for giving such a relatable raw version of himself in order to help others
Mr Khan is truly a great person from inside .
Wank
@@jameskps Wank ... In what way ?
@@91099Babarit was probably a command and not an insult.
@@Belisarius536 WANK ... a command 😖 Whao !! Where did you get this command from & where does it use on ?
I met dynamo once at a funeral of a friend of mine. He was a mutual friend, I was starstruck tbh when I seen him at the same little house in Moseley, Birmingham. But he was so down to earth, we shared stories about our friend who sadly passed too young. What a bloke he is
He's just another FAKE ass person !
For all his very personal and tragic health problems he is a fantastic entertainer with a great gift. I wish him all the very best with his recovery.
He's been through so much, I can see the pain behind his eyes.
I just want to give him a hug.
love being spread from South Africa.
most of us never gain anything worth losing in the first place the crappy parts of his life are what most of us live for our whole life and call normal. i’m so tired of celebrities crying
The 2020s haven’t been kind to *ANYONE!* 😭
I hope he knows it wasn't just his magic that made him brilliant to watch, but it was his personality that sets him apart from the rest. I used to love the parts of his TV shows where he was just talking about the places he was in. He is so laid back and down to earth. I could listen to him talk for hours. I'm sure if he made a YT channel he would be incredibly popular.
I agree. I always liked how ordinary and down to earth he is. It was obvious that it never even occurred to him to be in the least bit fake and I love that about him. He is who he is - accept him or not. He’s good at magic and he’s good at impressing ordinary people because he is one with an amazing talent.
💯 agree
Yeah, he was like David blaine but not a bellend 😅
@@badgoat666 🤣🤣🤣
@@badgoat666 You have such a poetic way of saying things. I commend you. 😂😂😂
As a girl born and raised in Bradford I can really understand a lot of what Steven says. I was bullied so much by people bigger than me, I loved school and learning but was called out for being a know it all, my friends were targeted too and at times the teachers had to drop me off home after school because of how bad it was. The estates in Bradford were full of criminals and was hard to go out without being drawn to it, thankfully my Dad got me and my brother out of there when I was 15 and now we've grown up and have great lives. Cant say the same for the bullies and a lot of the others who got involved in bad stuff but you become who you hang around with.
Be proud of yourself Steven xxx
one of the most open, raw, sensitive interviews I've seen on the channel. thanks so much to Steven Frayne for sharing his life.
My am I the only one crying my eyes out? Had no idea he faced so many tough challenges. So humble and honest
So much respect to this man for being so brave and honest about his mental health. He is helping many people
We LOVE Dynamo / Stephen in our house.
My son was incredibly bullied from the moment he started school to present day (he is now a strapping 6 foot 17 year old)
Together we lost our selves in the world of Harry Potter and from there watching Dynamo was like a security blanket for him.
He has a huge poster of Stephens face which is made up of positive words on his wall which Stephen signed.
Stay strong Stephen and we send huge hugs for your continued quest to feel better in your own skin
Much love x
Turn to Jesus Christ.
You have millions of people, who love you, around you right now mate. You are part of all our families. You are not broken, you are a guy who's used his resilience and genius, to get through life. I'm so happy, you're able to talk about this and how open you've been about it, all through your televised career. You're the stuff made of magic, not just the amazing work you do, Steven. Wishing you the best of everything.
Really nice comment, man. 👍👍
"Millions" is a bit exaggerated, right?
@@gaemover65221.8 million views am from i small country in Malawi and a lot of us know & love him so safe to say millions
I think this is the most impactful episode I’ve listened to. What an incredibly brave man. I’m glad he’s still with us ❤
Me too ❤
Same here, wat an inspiration he is too! 💖
Gosh my heart goes out to him, I understand him, personally through my experiences. Bless him, I wish him healing ❤️🩹 & strength & love.
Indeed it is, I knew about his health issues however I didn't know he'd had so much pain in his life and all the stuff that contributed to it!😔, he's a lovely guy though and he brings joy to many with his talent, may he heal and carry on bringing that joy to us all!🙂💜✌️
This lad is not bullshitting, he speaks the whole truth and we are proud of him.
I remember him as that kid and that kid came across all kinds of adversity, he worked his way out of it, he faced every challenge all the way to the top. I knew his dad from back then, not as a friend but as a figure that was always looking for money or ways to make easy money instead of getting a job, he never came across as a bad, evil, violent person because he was well liked but he wasn't to be trusted and a front to get what he wanted, he was weak and lazy. I didn't know about the abuse to his mum N.
It was sad to know that he only wanted to reunite with his son for alternative reasons other than to be proud of him.
I used to see him hanging around the city square before he died and he was the same as he always was, a chancer and a shit father, luckily Stephen he had a great family behind him.
I'm sad that Stephen felt the need to end his life because of the things that happened later on in his career and health but he really is a strong minded man that has gone on to inspire thousands of people, he is a lovely guy.
All the very best to him, hope to see you some time.
Welcome back.
This is not truth! You will only find truth in Jesus Christ King of all kings and Lord of all lords. Seek him today and live.
@@stephenchannon2138 Let me know when he turns up. 2023 years late.
@@stephenchannon2138 yes, Jesus is the Way and the Truth, but c’mon man, get a grip and declare it appropriately. Of course this man’s story is his truth, and by the sounds of it he’s been to hell and back - by grace of God he will be healed.
Declare Jesus all day long if it makes you feel better, but be wise and gentle.
well put thank you @@Mintychops
facking hell why always bring jesus into this. Do you see you disregard the whole message he's sharing. This shit makes me so angry. This indoctrinated pushy religious talk all the time. @@stephenchannon2138
WHAT BEAUTIFUL AND BRILLIANT INTERVIEW ,HE'S SO NICE I JUST WISH HIM ALL THE BEST.
I totally feel your pain Steven... & it's a pleasure to get to know you better through this conversation. You are a Top Guy, never forget Brother... When you can. There is nothing you can't do even when debilitated. One of the worst things is being mentally & physically debilitated. I know this 'place' as you do, one just has to let it pass until one is in that place in the mind, where you can 'create'...
Wishing you well fella...
❤✌🙏
It's crazy to me how this troubled and bullied boy that thought so little of himself was actively one of my idols growing up. I remember doing magic tricks at school to impress everyone and even learning how to do the 'dynamo shuffle' It sucks that Steven never really got to see this side of things and how much influence and impact he had on the lives on young ones back in the day. He surely never deserved the treatment he received from his late father and his peers growing up, not to mention his health condition. Keep your head up, Steven.
I hope Steven reads these comments. I used to spend hrs fascinated watching his videos. Horrible to realise he has suffered so much . Hope things will be better now he knows how much he is loved and has good therapy.
Sybil cut
Dynamo is such a class guy. Have even more respect for him after this interview. The real magic here is his brutal honesty and vulnerability. Lovely guy. I really hope he reads some of the comments here and see how much he's truly loved ❤
He really ISN'T !
@@gertjanvandermeij4265Were you one of those that were bullying him as a child?
The younger Steven was respected for his magic & amazing talents BEFORE an onlooker said “this guy’s a dynamo”(it was only from that point he took on the name Dynamo professionally). We value him and support him with or without the stage name. He is a genuine, outstanding person. I have always admired him and as a lady from Yorkshire I feel very proud to know he is a Yorkshire-man
What a gentle, articulate man and a fascinating interview. Wishing him a happy life from here on
Great to see this interview. Dynamo was the one who inspired me to become a magician and ultimately build my UA-cam channel!
Stay away from black magic kids, Islamically even trickery like card tricks is a form of magic. Suicide is from the devil and when you do stuff like black magic you are with the devil and thus become depressed suicidal all sorts. Stay with your lord the creator of the heavens and the earth. This is merely tricks taught my the devil and spells. With many dark sacrifices and evil to get more tricks and spells.
That in itself is super inspirational, thanks for sharing this 👍
In 2017 his progressed Sun squared his natal Saturn. Low point, Google it. Compare with Elon Musk at his lowest point in 2008, when his progressed Sun conjuncted his natal Saturn. Time to learn some real magic mate.
When will you be successful like dynamo?
@@DaleSteelhe's got 1.2M followers . What do you think?
I was always a big fan of Dynamo - and still am. I hope he reads all these lovely comments and understands quite how respected and loved he is.
What a base guy.
I tend to find that most people who have had it tough early in life, usually turn out to be the better people later on.
Wishing him all the very best for the future.
He`s a good man. x
On the contrary, the vast majority of people in prison had poor upbringings.
I see your point though, those who survive their bad childhoods and better themselves, transform into incredible humans.
Dynamo represents a lot of people in society and I feel a connection to this man. Thank you for. Sharing yourself and your story Stephen ❤
I hope he knows how much value he brings to the world by just being such a nice, gentle, honest and humble guy.
The magic is just a bonus for us all.
Ace interview both.
how can he be shown that he is of any value when no one sends any funds????????
😮😮⁶⁶qq
I haven’t yet finished the episode and I’m so profoundly moved. He says he’s only really good at magic…. Yet he has a wife who loves him. Hes eloquent and resilient and brave in his vulnerability in a way that is so effing powerful actually. While he may feel one way in his body and I empathise and never want to invalidate that experience, right now how he’s expressing himself is big, powerful, charismatic and inspiring. He’s still a wielder of magic to have come through that darkness and hold a candle for others to see. What a badass.
@user-fd7ju5sb6b NO ACTUALLY YOU DO. Sadly there's some nasty people in this world & seems like you are one of them. What a shame you haven't got it in you to be nice. I think thats sad😠 😡 🙏
@@Gypsygal23 I said………
…. He needs to man up.
@user-fd7ju5sb6b Yes I read that the first time perfectly well thanks..again repeat I replied No you do. Cus not a nice thing to say to anyone who is struggling. Now I'm saying GO AWAY BYE 👋
I have seen Dynamo many years ago and lost him on the way so to speak. So many things happening in the world that kept me from following him but today I saw a program of an magician and came to think about Dynamo.
I found this video and I am so grateful to have done that. My God he is so genuine and so in total loss of ego and this talk you had was so outstanding and beautiful that I could have listened to you for ever. His charisma is so wonderful and his seriousness is so incredibly beautiful. And you are the perfect man to interview him. So I couldn't tear myself away from your conversation and it's been so rewarding to hear him and your reverence and the respect you had for him is so nice to see. You are a great man This I will never forget! I wil keep it in my heart and think of it as a gift from the Universe for us all. I'm a subscriber now and will spread this beautiful video to my friends. God bless you both. ❤🙏
My heart goes out to you regarding bullying. I hated going school for same reason
You are very precious and loved by many. Through you going through you will help many others
Thank you for sharing your journey
I cried so many times in this interview, the childhood, the school feeling, fear of failure. I am glad I know you STEVE. I wish you the very best.
Of all the podcasts, this one hit me like a tone of bricks as the pain in his eyes was so tangible I just wanted to give him the hugest of hugs. I wish him all the best and to never have to deal with that darkness again.
Did you notice how he visibly changed when he started talking of serving others instead of the self, and the twelve steps book? It was so great to see, the spark came back to his eyes
man spürt eine tiefe tiefe Traurigkeit, einen Schmerz. ich kenne niemanden, der so authentisch, so ehrlich ist wie er. ich wünschte es gäbe mehr menschen, die diese eigenschaft besitzen.
Ich wünsche ihm Liebe, ganz viel Kraft und schenke ihm ein wenig von meinem Glück für sein Leben ❤
I'm so glad that you didn't end it. So sorry to hear all that agony you had to go through.
Please do continue to take care of yourself.
Dynamo we all love you so very much and thank you so much for all the great times you entertained us❤❤❤
As a counsellor/therapist I’ve heard lots of sad stories but this really got me. I’m so glad he found a strong role model in his grandfather. If he hasn’t already I hope Steven finds a great therapist to help him heal his inner child. I have seen my clients completely transform after these sessions. ❤
I hope the “people” who bullied him get to see this and that they have the ability to reflect on their actions.
Great vid. I always loved Dynamo. My favourite magician ever. I wondered why we hadn't seen him about in recent years. Sad that this happened, glad he managed to pull through and do this interview. A man I would certainly love to meet and have a deep conversation with.
You can't get a shitter start in life than being born in Bradford! 😂
Seriously tho, much love to Dynamo!!!! ❤
And Bradford! God help you all..
Merry Christmas 🎄
The sad facts are bullies are usually from abusive homes.
I thought this but I was also thinking the same for his mum’s past boyfriends….hope they’re ashamed of themselves
Spent most of his teenage and adult life trying to impress his amazing illusions/magic on whoever was there viewing on TV , internet or actually live and on site. Sadly he isn't rated in top ten , but if I could have a choice of who I want to see , it would be Steven or David blain , both utterly incredible. Ps the legal rights of your stage name to me is just bolox . Call yourself super dynamo or wally from Bradford wouldn't make a blind difference to myself and all your genuine fans and admirers. Long, long shall you carry on amazing people with unbelievable illusions , god bless you.
Every single bully should take the same from this story as his bullies.
And i think people should be more aware of the trauma children and also adults today are going through and how this is impacting them in not only the short term but also how this can affect their future also.
I sometimes struggle to watch these podcasts to the end, they are always great but I'm so busy and possibly my ADHD lets me get distracted but this one was so compelling. Dynamo is such a great person. What an enormous amount he's had to deal with through his whole life, its incredible that he's come through it all. I'm sure he feels that he's still not through it and never will be but he is an absolute warrior.
Hes been through so much personal trauma with his home life being disruptive, racism bullying beatings and the on top of that crohns disease and yet still had the self belief and confidence to make such a massive success of his life with his amazing magic. He sounds like his own worst enemy mentally (I resonate) stop being so hard on yourself, such a special person ❤
Yeah🤓🤓🤓He is a special kind person...
As a Scotsman that's battled severe depression through bereavement, I turned to cocaine and alcahol to compensate for my loss...This really resonated with me and I found it to be completely heartbreaking.
He's such a humble, well mannered, grounded and talented wee gentleman.. I honestly hope he's on the ascension again (excuse the pun)..
What an amazing, person.. I wish him all the love and respect in the world!! 🏴🇬🇧❤️
I agree, bereavement was a real trigger for me as well. I couldn't cope with watching my father die, it was too big for my head to deal with. On my drive to see him everyday after work the anxiety built to a physical pain. The only way to get back to sanity was drinking & drugs. I'm sure that sounds crazy to some people but it made sense to me at the time. I repeated the same day for months, anticipating & waiting for death. It did however give me lots of empathy for strangers as you just never know what someone is going through but yet still going about their 'normal' life
I hope you're doing OK now. I suffer from chronic pain and EVERYTHING is difficult and painful and twice as hard and exhausting for me to do as it is for others. The natural consequence of this, for me, has been isolation and depression so, l understand how hard it can be.
@@sarahcashmore6736Same for you too Sarah, l hope you're doing better too. Losing a dad is hard and watching a loved one die is awful. Hugs.
@nikiTricoteuse I've chronic back pain, pal..Knackered bottom of my spine playing I've hockey years ago...And I totally get it, when I'm basically incapacitated, it really gets me down..
Keep your head up, pal. ❤️
@sarahcashmore6736 Sorry for late reply, pal. Yeah I understand your pain.. losing a loved one is hard enough, but when the person in question is a parent or sibling, someone close, it leaves a wee hole In your heart.
Keep your head up, make him proud, and remember, if you ever fall off the bandwagon, it doesn't make you a shitty person.. We are all human and we are all complex primates.. Much love, pal. Have a great Xmas when it comes ❤️
I’m welling up on the building site here listening to this. The courage you’re showing to open up about such intimate issues is amazing. I’m so sorry to hear you’ve had to go through this. You’ve nothing to be ashamed of mate. Keep your head high. We all look forward to seeing your magic again one day when you’re ready! ✌️
Lovely comment 💪
Me too ❤
The cruelty and damage caused from bullying is so Angering and Weak.Its heartbreaking to hear.
Bless you Scorchio!! Indeed a beautiful comment 🥰🙏
what a lovely person he is he deserves to have a good life,don’t give up because you are amazing xx
an amazing magician who is currently dealing with so much on a personal level is heartbreaking, you have given so much of yourself to the world, & all we can do is say how much it hurts us to see you in so much grief. You are and forever a blessing to all your fans world wide, your not alone, dont ever think you are alone.
I don’t know if anyone will see this but i met Dynamo in 2019 at a magic/ cardistry convention in London. Literally the nicest, most down to earth human being. We were chatting with a few mates and we all went out to Nando’s and that day i didn’t have any money on me (or my card wasn’t working or something) and he bought me a bowl of chips and a drink. Wow, certainly made my year and took my confidence right up. To know this was what he was going through then, just WOW!
Moved me to tears this one, I'm in a similar place to Dynamo right now and he has inspired me to fight on. Thank you.
💪
You're worth it man, more than you could ever think
Stay strong man, all of us are fighting our own battles on our own levels but remember suicide is never an option rather it's a thing of the weak and you're not weak
@@Inc0gnit045your advice is actually pretty negative and rude. Especially on a public platform. Please rethink saying things like that..
Stay strong ,a day at a time 💖💖🙏🏻🙏🏻
I have just watched this very moving episode and wish to commend Dynamo for his courage in sharing elements of his journey. I sincerely hope he can find away to share his passion for magic, perhaps by mentoring and training other aspiring Magicians (if he is not already doing this). Dynamo has so so much to offer, and even though he may not always see this, I am sure that others (friends, family, fans and beyond) can. Keep going Dynamo, build on the small wins and go again sir!
This is a very touching interview, conducted with empathy and professionalism. Best wishes to you both.
This episode was beautiful I can’t think of another word for it, I’m a 48 year old man and I’m crying listening to it, not from sadness but from witnessing a beautiful human being sharing himself honestly and openly. Amazing finish 🙏
💯👏👏
I’m trying to breathe out for him. He’s wound up like a Brillo pad. My heart goes out to him, I really hope he gets through this. I don’t think his mind is allowing him to see the huge steps he’s already taken, there are many people who couldn’t do a quarter of what he’s been through. Sending my love to him.
I think diagnosing someone via the Internet is actually quite distasteful. If you put yourself in his shoes, and really listen to the part where he says he's never spoken like this outside of therapy, we see the courage in doing so in the public domain. Imagine basically recounting your whole trauma, I would imagine most of us would struggle, let alone with what he's experienced. Sometimes it's just kind to acknowledge that level of bravery.
It's so sad and unnerving that this is still going on in schools, it just shows how school is still failing on all levels.
RIP Dynamo you just need to be the Phoenix rising from the ashes🥰 i hope you can find some resolve with the love of your wife and close friends😇🙏
Thank you for this interview. I hope Steven reads the comments. Sending him and you a big virtual hug from Germany. May God bless you.
There's a lot in there that he's not able to talk about because it's so painful. But he's doing brilliantly to talk at all about such painful stuff. God bless you Dynamo.
I can’t imagine what a little darling Steven must have been when he was a kid. The thought of him getting bullied like that is so sad.. all while having no dad around. I wish him all the best in his life ❤
man i dont have many words but that was truly humbling. Thank you to steven for sharing these things its really inspiring and moving
I first saw Dynamo at Leeds university 18 years ago performing at a DJ Yoda gig. He signed a card for me and was the most sincere and lovely guy. I watched his stardom grow from afar and was super proud to watch a fellow (west) Yorkshireman soar to the heights he did. Big love Dynamo. Stu from Leeds
"She loves you, doesn't she?"
"yeah..."
The tone of voice, the smile and the emotion in his answer spoke millions.
💯
Time stamp 52:48 :)
I bet the money helps right?
There's always one cynical idiot @@vickijo2343
He already said he doesn't have any.@@vickijo2343
Words can't truly express what i want to say, but this was a raw, vulnerable and really emotional interview that touched me deeply. I have such empathy for Dynamo and really appreciate everything he shared. The magic is real 💜
"hurting myself to try and feel something" that is spot on what i felt during school 💔
I'm only half way through, steven you ARE enough just as you are sending you healing hugs to a wonderful soul
It breaks my heart that someone as genuinely amazing as Steven/Dynamo can suffer the way he has.
Health, peace and happiness to him ❤
Same here, i cried throughout this entire video, he is such an inspiration 💖
Dynamo should write a book 📖 on his life. He would inspire everyone else and to indeed show that no-one is perfect!
What an emotional episode. I have Crohn's Disease and the way you described the pain as an open wound and being afraid to eat really resonates. It really breaks my heart hearing the struggles you have faced. You're an inspiration, thank you for opening up.
On a side note, look up Dr Ken Berry on UA-camad the comments and see how eliminating plant toxins from your diet has completely healed Crohn's in many people. Good luck.
Carnivore diet and zero fibre 👍
What a genuinely lovely guy, and sooo talented. I'm so sorry for what he or anyone else is going / gone through. I suffer mental health issues myself, on a different level but i can relate. One thing you should never be is ashamed, when you have that mindset you have to remember its an illness and for the most part you really lose any ability to control your actions or think about how they will affect people. Unless you experience it its hard to explain i guess. I'm sincerely happy that you have come through the other side, and hopefully a stronger person. It IS ok not to be ok. One thing to note is, its not the end you CAN get through it. The most important thing to remember is you are not alone, and the second is to speak out, ask for help....
Thank you for sharing your journey steven/dynamo I needed to hear that today as my best friends daughter took her own life, and my friend rang me this morning with this devastating news in utter pain. I have just got home. It's been a hard day, and it's going to be hard for awhile supporting my dear friend. Mental health needs to be spoken about and how people get through the hard times. The big blue book of AA and NA has helped so many people all over the world and can help people from all walks of life. So once again, Thank You for telling your story.
My condolences
I had the same thing last Easter
God bless, guide & comfort you & your friend
This interview was so raw. I could feel Steven’s pain, my chest and throught got tight and I cried a few times. Not because his story was „sad” but because I could feel his emotions so strongly. He is such a humble and sweet person. I hope he gets the right therapy for trauma because I strongly believe his autoimune issues are linked to it. I wish him lots of healing, love, success and of course magic!
Dynamo’s mindset is in many ways understandable. He’s been through repetitive complex trauma since childhood to adulthood. Having a absent dad, no father figure presence, being biracial, being bullied, isolated, early financial insecurity, having major health issues, a near death situation, legal battles, fear of losing your career, daily stress, losing your loved ones is a heavy burden to live through.
It becomes hard to see a way out. The lesson in his life is that we are valuable despite how the world shows up to us. Despite the way people have treated him, he doesn’t have to accept it and honor it. He is unique and that’s what makes him a star at what he does.
So many people don’t have that kind of creativity, passion, drive and skill to succeed the way he did. The light is within him to help him lead the way forward. He’s already created something out of nothing. May the universe now show him the love, acceptance and abundance he so deserves.
How empathic n compassionate,for you to say. No human being should hsve to exp what he did.Seriously what we need in the wolrd to day is an unserstanding of.others not excusing bad behaviour but an a willingness to be.vunerable with others in terms of empathy n compassion Let Love Lead n the Prince of Peace who brings a lasting internal Joy Pray that he finds.peace.n.God guidehim.n.ptptect him So sorry for his pain noy like poty but compassion Sorry 😢
The realist conversation I've ever heard about mental health. Dynamo - You are so strong and such an amazing person, not just for your honesty here, but for battling through your illness and continuing to face every day. You should never feel guilty about any support you've needed from your partner, friends and family. I feel that you do. You will help so many people by sharing your story. Nobody should ever feel they are alone if they are suffering with mental health issues. I can't say how much I respect you for this.
This highlights such a big problem in society right now, it's a pandemic level of mental health issues. I see it now everyday and not just one or two people, there are many and all ages. It's sad to see this level of issues, and I think it comes down to how we all perceive what people think of us as the most important thing in the world. To have an identity or to fit in. Thank you Steven for sharing this story and I wish you all the best in life. You are a genuine nice person who deserves so much better. Sometimes life isn't fair or nice to us, but becoming a stronger person and surviving, overcoming these challenges. At the end of the day as long as your still here on this earth, your winning the race of time. I've had some outright low points in my life too, happens to everyone. But sticking it out and finding/seeking a solution problem solving, that's what we as humans can do. Positivity is key!
Opening your eyes to the world around you, taking an interest in it and not being so self-absorbed is even more key! Being given the encouragement to learn and do that as a child helps with balance throughout one's life. It's every adult's job to encourage children to look and wonder. What a fine job a magician does.
The magic at the end didn't just entertain me, it made me cry... because I saw the life and the light and the wonder come sparkling back into his eyes again ❤❤❤ everything about this interview was pure magic😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Same! 😥
I cried for totz the same reason. A bloody flood! 😂
I hope all you people saying you were crying, are women. IF you actually cried. Majority of people BS about crying online for likes
My partner has Crohn's and the arthritic pain is pretty debilitating. It's incredible how on point with her diet and stress she needs to be. Loved this interview.
Stephen, you are so authentic. You are so lovable & what you have been through is heart-breaking.
I identify with so much of what he is saying and said virtually what he has said about the thoughts and the noise in his head to my psychologist. I myself are currently in a very dark place and am battling with daily feelings of hopelessness and intrusive thoughts of wanting to end my life, Steven, thank you for sharing your struggles, it has helped to make me feel less alone and ashamed, much love ❤❤❤
His pain was palpable at times. Heartbreaking. Such gentleness of spirit though, underpinned by deep humility, vulnerability and courage. That’s left me feeling quite raw 🙁, but also, hopeful. It IS possible to rise from the ashes. An excellent interview handled with great sensitivity and skill. Respect my good man! ❤️
❤
Well said
This man gave me hope and something to go for at a dark time of my childhood. He’ll never know his impact on people and how powerful his magic really is
Dynamo…. I am 68 years old and I have never heard such an honest and articulate interview….. My Son loves magic, possibly for a similar reason !
I know you don’t want sympathy for your unfortunate experiences but my heart goes out to you and well done for being so open ❤
Steven resonated on such a deep level with me, I had a 'calling' when I was still at school to pursue my career- working with young people in the care system, being a challenging young person myself, and being dyslexic I was a tragedy of full time education, but I managed to turn my life around at a young age to pursue my 'calling', needless to say to gain my degree it was a hard slog, but I did it, along side which I did an awful lot of voluntary work to gain some experience and to get some references in the field under my belt. I then developed Fibromyalgia, which took my life away and my career too. Living with chronic pain is so debilitating, and you loose so much in the process, money isn't everything but its also such a hard land slide when you go from being comfortable and looking after your family and those around you, to being the one that needs looking after it feels humiliating.
Your a special human being Steven, thankyou for sharing your story and making yourself vulnerable to help other people, its so important for young men to hear these stories from such inspiring role models. I wish you all the best in your new journey - I'm off to buy a copy of your book. Much Lurve Lisa xx
What a great episode, I really felt for everything he was saying, it felt so raw and real. This stuff is so important, and I love how accessible it is for people see others being vulnerable, and help normalise the fact that for many people, life is a struggle. The fact that these people are often celebrities helps us see that we're all just people, nobody is immune, regardless of how adored, hated, rich, poor, famous or anonymous they are.
Brilliant interview. Feel for the bloke, hope he returns better than ever
What an absolutely endearing man. He’s so humble and genuine. I wish all the very best ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Great chat. Good luck for the future Steven/Dynamo.
By being open about attempting to take his own life, he has helped so many people including myself. I’m glad he is still alive.
What a fantastic video clip, i can clearly see Steven's pain in his eyes, the fact that he is opening up about his mental health is testimony of his healing, your a lovely human, than in its self with all the troubles in this world is a shining light for all to aspire too, keep going Steven, life is a journey and the route we take may not always be the right one, but if we can learn from it, its then worth the journey. Bless you, and stay strong
What a fantastic interview, Steven is incredibly humble and candid about his journey so far and the challenges he has had to endure. As a Crohns sufferer, I can relate to his suffering of this horrible and often debilitating disease, it truly can tear your life apart and make you face physical pain and mental lows that your previously never knew existed. He has clearly suffered a lot, both physically and mentally, thankfully he is a fighter and managed to overcome his darkest moment. I wish him nothing but the best, he is an incredibly talented, humble and honest human being and the world is a better place with him with us, I hope he continues to have the loved ones around him continue to support him.
Additionally, I applaud Stephen Bartlett for his handling of this interview, his professional, sensitive, empathetic, yet probing approach to explore the areas of Steven’s journey that can help to serve so many others watching this podcast, very very well done!
I literally grew up being OBSESSED with Dynamo
I taught the kid everything he knows man ..I hypnotised him to get better about 6 months ago..I will now watch me right pal
Same man same
Same me to
Us
Healthy obsession imho.
It takes a lot of courage to speak openly about deep-rooted pain, and I admire him for sharing his story.
This was the deepest interview I have watched on this platform. Life and health to youDynamo. You bring so much joy to us here in Zimbabwe and South Africa.
That's was amazing. I know exactly where he was coming from ive got crohns disease and also been in his situation where ive not wanted to be here anymore. I love this I can relate to how he was feeling it brought it all back to home. Really happy you are getting there. Always love Steven and I live in Bradford. Hope you keep going from strength to strength. X
You can see quite clearly that Steven/Dynamo is quite nervous and uncomfortable talking about himself and other personal subjects, the anxiety is quite clear.....until he starts to perform his magic, then a more relaxed demeanour takes over, a hidden confidence starts to take over and he becomes someone else. It's fantastic to see you back Steve.
?? someone else ? yes that is Demons-Dynamo name is demon inside of him that is why many well knows stars have multiple disorder it is demons inside them but no one believe in them no it is crazy talk ... if you play with fire you will get burned and his demon start to eat him from inside out no other way to explain simple as day ...
whaaat you can see al that from a interview.daamn
@@ryanbriesies1052tbf reading body language isn’t rocket science love
@@ryanbriesies1052what, you can't see a change in body language and a person's demeanor? It's pretty clear!
It's the same as watching an actor. Just the same. Their performance is not spontaneous. The problem is, he is so good at deception, I don't know what to believe!
Thankful for this platform for people share their stories you never know what someone you grow up watching is going through personally 🙏🏿
The amount of respect I have for Dynamo/Steven is unquantifiable, it takes courage to have a conversation like this
wow, i never would have guessed he had such a hard life. very sad to hear everything he went through and it really does feel like the world was against him. im so happy he is still standing strong. incredible guy. i always liked his magic but now i have deep respect for him and am fully rooting for him.
I can't watch this without shedding a tear. Bless his heart ❤
Deep this one wasn't it.
I have a huge connection with him as from one of the estates in Bradford he lived near, he should be immensely proud of himself.
Still sobbing, nobody ever knows.
I have been choking back tears. Jesus life is so damn hard, so so painful!
Totally agree❤
@@RM-ti8nf god suffers in your belief.
Is this worthy of god?
God is true when he described you as astrays in his book
May Allah guide you
You are loved and you are worthy 🥰 sharing your story and being so brave will help so many that are going through their own tough times. Huge amounts of love and respect to you. Xxx
I want to thank Dynamo for opening up and being so honest on such a public platform. I was close and struggled few years ago and if someone so successful (in my mind) was close as well stops me being so hard on myself. Thank you
god bless you dynamo... currently in hospital with ulcerative collitis - nasty disease, my heart goes out to you and your struggles
