ROUTES INTO WORK
QUICK
• Magician Dynamo overcame the odds
to achieve career success as an illusionist
and puts his success down to
determination and embracing his flaws.
• Students can view a five-minute video of
Dynamo’s inspiring career journey.
• BecomingX interviews inspiring and
iconic people to help demystify what
it really takes to succeed.
On resilience:
“If an obstacle gets thrown at you, you
have to go through that obstacle, or find
a way to go over it.”
On lifelong learning:
“The more I got challenged in my magic,
the more it forced me to find new ways
to approach it and reminded me I know so
little about this thing that I love and that I have
so much more to learn.”
On turning dreams into
reality:
“I’ve spent my life trying to think ‘what
would be the most amazing story I could tell
someone?’ and then, in order for that story
to resonate, that story has to be true.”
