Seeing Is Believing was a live tour by English magician Dynamo. The tour was initially billed as a run of UK dates in late 2015, beginning at the O2 Apollo, Manchester, visiting London, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Nottingham, Birmingham and Leeds.[1]
Frayne's ambitions for the show were high, commenting to the press that “[he was] hoping that like [he] did for magic on TV, [he could] reinvent the live magic show and produce something fans [had] never seen before.”[2]
Following high demand for tickets, the tour was extended to a three years and 145 dates across 3 continents, where he sold over 750,000 tickets and filled arenas across the UK, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand.[3][4]
As part of the tour, Dynamo became the first magician in history to headline The O2, London.[5][6]
Dynamo Live at the O2
In March 2016, Dynamo played three sold-out shows at The O2, London.[7] In doing so, he became the first magician to headline the venue.[6] To mark the occasion, Dynamo worked with TV channel Watch, with whom he had created his TV show Dynamo: Magician Impossible, to bring his live show to TV screens across the United Kingdom.[8]
Dynamo Live at The O2 followed Frayne as he embarked on the biggest live magic performance in British history. The show was broadcast live across the UK on Watch.
