Irrespective, we're all entitled not only to an opinion, but also to voice that opinion (that's what Fora are for, surely?)
I'm sure young Mr. Frayne is a top bloke, but I find his performances as Dynamo lacklustre and - in many cases - boring and irritating, to say the least; my opinion only, and others' mileage may vary

And looks like a hungover weasel.

While I respect what he can do, there are are people far better in a worse position. Performance quality does not dictate how you get your break in show business. It is a contributing factor but more than often then not, it is who you know more than what you know.

Funny, sounds like you were just bashing him, I guess there's plenty of people that disagree with you, what with him being all famous, successful, rich and having his own TV show etc...

If he is setting out to make magic cool, then good on him for trying to achieve his vision. However, I've been reading Absolute Magic by Derren Brown lately and he points out quite rightly that magic is what you make of it and it's not up to others to alter how you want to present it. If Piff wants to make his magic childish and trivial, then there is nothing wrong with that because that is his imagining of how he should present magic.
No way is right or wrong because it's nobodies decision to make.

You have a point JammyT, but you can be a good magician without being massively famous.
