British magician Steven Frayne, popularly known as Dynamo (now performing as Dynamo Is Dead or Steven Frayne), shared a fun Instagram reel on March 25, 2026. In the short video, he performs a close-up magic trick for Bollywood star Ranveer Singh and comedian Russell Peters. The two celebrities look shocked and surprised, unable to figure out how the trick worked. Frayne captioned it: “Ranveer Singh and Russell Peters definitely didn’t see that coming 👀🤯 Amazing to share magic with them.”

The reel has gone viral with thousands of likes and comments. Fans are calling it a “Dynamo rebirth” and remembering his old TV shows on History TV18 that made him popular in India. Many wrote that seeing big stars like Ranveer and Russell left speechless.
This moment happened around the time Russell Peters was in Mumbai for his Relax World Tour. Peters performed to a packed house with surprise appearances by Taapsee Pannu and Zakir Khan. The magic session seems to be a casual, private meet-up during the tour.
Frayne has had a tough few years battling Crohn’s disease and mental health issues. He even “killed off” his Dynamo persona in a 2023 special to focus on healing. Now he is making a quiet comeback with intimate shows. He has a London residency called Steven Frayne: Up Close and Magical running at Underbelly Boulevard in Soho from January 30 to February 28, 2026.
In this age of big-budget films and edited videos, a simple, real magic trick still creates pure wonder. Ranveer, known for his high energy in movies like Gully Boy and Padmaavat, and Russell Peters, a global comedy star, both looked genuinely amazed. It shows the power of old-school magic.
The clip reminds fans why Dynamo became a household name. Even superstars can be left speechless by clever sleight of hand. This small moment brings joy and nostalgia in a busy world.
