When he says blind time trial that's what he means.  :swoon:  Well worth a look.

Well, as BD said. "Just simply amazing." Nothing more to add is there.

It's has to be an illusion.  Simplest way I can see is if the guy had a spotter and was sending signals to some kinda vibrating device in his right and left pockets.  No way he could memorize the course at speed and then do it at idle with a blindfold on.  I like this kind of thing, but am always trying to figure out how it was really done.  :DntKnw: :DntKnw:

There are hundreds of ways to pull this sort of stunts, I was impressed with the showmanship.

Impressive stuff.

Obviously being a full time wizard I cannot give too much away. A little tip is whenever a magician says 'and to make even harder/more dangerous for me' then this is the key to how the trick is done and the magician could not do the trick without this change.

I suspect that lighting the fire rings against the back drop of night made the fire rings visible through the blindfold giving enough key pointers for Dynamo to negotiate the course successfully, the rest was just timing and practice. Of course from our point of view it made the trick more dangerous but I suspect the same trick would be almost impossible in day light.

I cannot tell you any more, I've already said too much.........
