In an exclusive interview with Sky News Entertainment Week the TV magician Dynamo has denied using wires in his stunt where he apparently levitates above the Shard in London.

The 31-year-old trickster has been wowing crowds for years with incredible stunts such as walking on the Thames – but this week a picture showing support wires went viral and he was branded a “cheat” and a “fraud” by fans online.

However, Dynamo told Entertainment Week the criticism had gone over his head.
