BREAKING. Dazzling Dynamo to bring magic to South Africa; Brit magician to film a special episode here for 3rd series on Discovery Channel.

The dazzling Brit magician Dynamo (real name Steven Frayne) who arrived in South Africa last night will remain in the country for a few days to film a special episode for the third series of his show, Dynamo: Magician Impossible for the Discovery Channel (DStv 121) which will be broadcast on the channel sometime during the second half of 2013.

Meanwhile the second series of Dynamo: Magician Impossible will start next Wednesday, 21 November, in South Africa on The Discovery Channel at 20:30 co-inciding with his new book, Dynamo: Nothing is Impossible - The Real-Life Adventures of a Street Magician. The first series of Dynamo: Magician Impossible reached an audience of 1,8 million viewers on DStv to become the number one most watched TV show on Discovery Channel this year.

Discovery's ever-eloquent Lee Hobbs, the channel director for emerging business for Discovery Networks for the Central Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa (CEEMEA) region and Dynamo made the joint announcement on stage to journalists earlier this evening at Montecasino during a special presentation and Q&A session with the star.

The most exciting magician of the 21st century who has been dazzling people on streets across cross the globe will now be filming a special South African episode which will become the first episode of the third series when that starts on The Discovery Channel during the second half of 2013.

"We are incredibly excited to announce that Dynamo will be filming an episode of series 3 of Dynamo: Magician Impossible in Cape Town and Johannesburg," says Lee Hobbs. "The series is one of the most successful shows we've ever aired on Discovery Channel in South Africa and a special episode filmed in its two biggest cities is sure to be a big hit with our DStv viewers."

"We can't tell you anything that he will be doing obviously, that would be ruining the magic, but I'm very excited," said Lee Hobbs.

In making the announcement, Dynamo beautifully played the press (who jubilantly clapped and hooted at his announcement) like a skilled magician deftly shuffling a deck of cards.

"So ... I've been here for a day and a half now. Obviously I came out to talk about season two of Dynamo: Magician Impossible," he started out coyly. "It was decided a while ago that there will be a third series. We're a couple of weeks in - and I've decided to stay to do an episode of series three! I'll visit Johannesburg, Soweto and Cape Town. I'll bring some magic to South Africa!" Dynamo said.

"I want to go into some of the deprived areas; I want to go into some of the rich areas and just show a cross-section of what South Africa is all about to the world. I've got a few ideas of things I want to do, but I think I need to meet some of the people of South Africa first to get a feeling of this place."
