"When I walk around I imagine I'm in an Usher music video, so when I'm using the cards I naturally do flourishes with them," says Dynamo. "Magic used to be about the Vegas showman, but now things are getting a bit cooler and some of the established magicians see flourishing as a threat. They think that magic and flourishing shouldn't mix – that magicians should look magical, as if they don't have special skills. But they are slowly realising that we are too powerful to be taken on."
