Not being able to perform magic - Dynamo

Dynamo, one of the world's most successful magicians joins me this week to talk about his fear of not being able to perform his magic. Raised on a Bradford council estate, he began performing magic as a defence against bullies, and has now performed all over the world. He's also created several hit TV series, including his latest hugely popular Sky series Beyond Belief. Dynamo suffers from a disease of the digestive system called Crohn's, which in 2014 caused him to spend several months in hospital and nearly caused him to give up magic completely - his biggest fear. I wanted to ask how he faced this, how his time isolated in recovery inspired his magic, and how he puts things into perspective.
