Video: Republic of Telly’s ‘Charismagic’ sketch was pretty hilarious last night

We think that they maybe, possibly, might perhaps be having a go at Dynamo

We think that they maybe, possibly, might perhaps be having a go at Dynamo

JOE doesn’t believe in magic anymore, not since that magician at our sixth birthday party accidentally set fire to the snack table with a trick that involved a dove and a series of fireworks, but every now and then we’ll tune in to see what Dynamo is up to.

If you’re not familiar with his works, he’s essentially the new David Blane but he hasn’t stuck himself in a box over a river yet, and we think that’s who the lads at Republic of Telly have decided to turn their attention to in this sketch from last night’s episode.

As you might suspect, they poke a bit of fun at the whole idea of TV magicians and the fact that you can use a camera to pull any number of tricks, all with the usual ROT sense of humour. Still, Dynamo is cool, right? Right?
