Reports are coming in this evening of
electrical disturbances across the

area of Manhattan, which may have been a
result of last week's storm. What the

fuck is happening?

Not just us, everyone.

I put a spell on you.

Quite remarkable.

Because you're mine.

It's really exciting. The things you do.

I still have no idea how he did that.

Oh, my God.

I'm going to spell on you.

I'm just shocked, aren't I?

You can help me out on this side, and
you can help me out on this side.

Yeah,

if you guys want to step back a little
bit, that way you can see this.

No, don't too tight.

Step back a little bit, and a little
bit, like that.

Right, and first of all, on the count of
three, I want you both to pull it as

tight as you can, yeah?

On the count of three, yeah?

For one, two, three.

Oh!

Oh, no!

Get out of here!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Oh!

Is that a trick?

We've been jumping with the rope. We've
been jumping with the rope. And they go

ahead.

No.

No, it didn't go that way. It went
through his stomach. I can't make it

that.

Yo, I'm still shocked.

It was a boom, bow.

He's gone.

New York, the city of dreams.

It was mid -October, and I had landed in
this vast metropolis for a three -week

trip.

Although I didn't know it yet, this
journey would ultimately end in both

and triumph.

The city is an incredible sight, a
concrete giant crackling with

Skyscrapers soar into the clouds above,
and over 8 million people scurry through

its narrow streets like a huge colony of
ants.

But scratch beneath the surface, And
you'll find something special.

A place where magic really exists.

Oh my god!

Is that drinkable?

I'm Dynamo. Nice to meet you.

Your name is? Nate.

I've got some cards here. I'm going to
give you a pen.

Just touch the back of any card you
want.

This one right here, yeah? Just write
your name nice and big on there.

Everyone see that?

Awesome. And then take the deck, push it
in, and mix them up. I'll take the pen.

Yeah, give him a shuffle.

He's done that before.

Awesome. I don't want to touch the cards
yet. Can I borrow your hat? Okay.

Cool, yeah?

So we've got Nate's hat.

Let's see.

Take the deck.

You sign one card, you shuffle it back
in there, right?

Oh, my God. One card on your hat.

That's crazy.

That's wild. Yeah, that's wild.

Told me to sign a card.

I signed it.

I shuffled the deck.

and took my hat, threw the cards up,
different cards, ripped, landed on the

And it's the card I signed.

It's crazy.

That's crazy.

Harlem, New York.

I first came to Harlem six years ago
with legendary hip -hop group De La

who were performing at the Apollo
Theater.

The area is steeped in history and has
posted performances from music giants

such as Michael Jackson and James Brown.

Although a lot has changed since I first
came here, I still love the energy of

this place.

I'm Dynamo, your name is? Chaz. Chaz
and?

Joel. Joel, nice to meet you guys.

I know we've only just met, but do any
of you have any money I could borrow?

I want to show you something cool.

A dollar?

So yeah, let's try this.

I can't even get it on the turntable.

Like seriously though.

I had travelled up to 155th Street on
the edge of the Polo Towers housing

projects. Upper Harlem feels worlds away
from the affluence of midtown

Manhattan. and very few tourists ever
venture into this neighbourhood.

Booker Park Basketball Court have hosted
legends like Shaquille O 'Neal and

Kareem Abdul -Jabbar, so I decided to
have a game with some of the local kids.

Sunshine.

Static.

Black gold.

Standing in the sun, getting black as I
want.

You playing good then, that ain't
backing me up.

Skywalking, baby, ain't no dragging my
hammer. Got a whole lot to say, so I

ain't talking to them. I hear me
shopping.

Turn it up louder.

Come get a picture, like, of this
happening.

Oh yeah, he's good.

Even on the little finger as well.

That's sick.

Yeah,

that's sick.

Can I have a look at the ball?

How often do you guys come out here and
play?

Almost every day. Almost every day,
yeah?

Back in England, we play kind of
football, but it's different because you

American football, right?

If I... Watch this.

That's cool.

Yo, you can do my basketball.

Something out of a movie.

That's crazy.

There's a hurricane brewing, in case you
haven't heard. Hurricane Sandy is a

Category 2 storm in the Bahamas. Last
night it roared through Cuba. The day

before that it hit Jamaica.

It might come our way, say, Monday into
Tuesday.

Good day, New York. It's October 1st and
a beautiful day. Lots of sunshine

today, a west or southwest breeze.

I was

in New York for a three -week adventure,
which would take

me into the heart of this giant
metropolis.

As the autumn sun shone over the city, I
headed down to Union Square in the

heart of Manhattan, where skaters,
professional chess players, and tourists

congregate under the watchful eye of
George Washington.

I'm Dynamo, your name is? Caroline.

Caroline. Hi.

Patricia. Christine.

Christine.

Nice to meet you all.

Can I try something with your bottle?

Do me a favour, make sure the lid's on
tight.

It's sealed. It's sealed, yeah, OK,
brilliant. I don't want to touch it,

so... OK.

But I just want you to go and just place
it over on the wall over there. OK.

Again, just come back here where you
were.

And there's no way that from here I
could do anything with the cap.

Right. Or the bottle, right? Right.

Just watch the cap.

It was sealed, and then it just flew
off.

He, like, turned it, and then it just
went flying.

New York has an incredible mix of
cultures, and there is nowhere that this

better reflected than in the city's
music scene, which has given birth to

of the most iconic artists of the 20th
century.

I had headed down to Generation Records
on the Lower East Side, which is the

favourite hangout for NYC's record
collectors.

I'm Dynamo. Your name is? Kyle. Kyle.
Nice to meet you, Kyle. Nice to meet you

too. Kyle, in this store, there's, what,
hundreds if not thousands of records?

Yeah, I'd say so. There's quite a
selection.

Quite a lot, yeah. I want to try
something.

All right.

In a second, I want you to go and choose
one record and just get it in your

mind, yeah? Mm -hmm. I don't want to
know what it is, so I'm going to turn

around. I just want you to walk on,
flick through, find one you like, and

come tap me on the shoulder.

Okay. Yes, I'm turning around now. Cool.
You go find one. All right. You are

forsaken, all the love you've taken.

Sleeping on a razor that's nowhere left
to fall.

Your body's taken,

every bone is breaking.

Nothing seems to shake it, it just keeps
holding on.

Think I'm all set Okay, so you're
thinking of a record, right?

I'm gonna try and work out which one it
is But I need you to help me a little

bit. Okay. I just want you to show me
which section your records in. All right

Yeah, it's in this section over here.
Over here, yeah? Yeah. Okay.

It's in this general area.

I like it, you're being big. You're not
really giving it away to me.

Throw your hand out.

Okay,

is that the one?

That is the one.

Check it out, check it out.

This is Gil Scott -Heron's Bridges
album, yeah.

I want to try something else.

All right.

Come over here.

I love all the artwork on the vinyl.

Absolutely, yeah. It's really cool
stuff.

It's really cool.

Could you just point to any vinyl that
you see? Point to anyone?

Anyone you want, yeah.

Okay.

The one with the breath there, that's an
interesting one.

So, yeah.

Crazy.

The album and all, it wasn't even just
the case. It was the album and

shifted spots right before my eyes, up
onto that shelf.

And he was just holding it like this.

Shook it. And next thing I knew, they
were, they were, they interchanged.

It's kind of just like blowing my mind
right now.

Later that day, I headed to the Vault
clothing store on Frederick Douglass

Boulevard. New York has some amazing
independent clothing stores, and

I'm in town, I try to seek them out.

How you doing, sir? I'm good. I'm good.
How are you? I'm good. What's your name?

My name's Isat.

Isat? I'm Dynamo. How's it meet you,
Dynamo?

There's, like, about 15 pairs of
sneakers kind of

in glass cabinets in the floor, right?
Yeah.

I want you just to pick your favorite
pair.

Just point to any one.

Any pair?

Yeah. I don't want to pick a favorite.
I'll pick a... Okay, I got one. You got

one? Just point to it.

Oh.

These ones right here? Yeah.

Just come a little bit closer.

I just want you to bend down with me.

Just bend down.

I want you to hold your hands out like
this, almost above the sneakers.

Okay. Imagine that you're holding the
laces. Can you see the laces?

Yeah, yeah, I see them. Yeah? Imagine
you turn a little bit, and squeeze, and

keep the laces tight.

Keep them tight.

Okay?

You got them?

Got them.

Alright.

I let go.

Great.

Having a word, that's the thing.

I picked the oddest sneaker on the floor
and he took my hands and kind of guided

me to untie the laces. They floated in
the air and untied themselves. It just

seemed like from the floor. It was
weird.

Something out of a movie.

As night fell, the temperature dropped
dramatically.

But despite the freezing weather, there
were still plenty of people hanging out

in the Midtown area of the city.

You going?

You going, yeah?

Okay, cool.

Just pop it down there. I don't want to
touch it. All right.

Perfect.

How many pages would you say roughly is
in there, just from looking at it? Maybe

100, 150?

Yeah, probably 100 or something. About
100? Yeah.

Okay, just think of any page number
right now.

Got it?

Look at me.

No. Fine, man.

Okay, okay.

What page number was you thinking of?

20. 20.

What page is that right there?

That's definitely 20. That is 20.

Can I try one more thing?

Yeah. I want you to think of a time.

Gotcha. You got a time in mind? Gotcha.

And then just turn this sharp here.

And I want you to write down here.

Write down the time and then sign it.

I'll hold it for you. All right.

Yeah, just down here, yeah. Perfect.

Nice and big.

So what time was you thinking of? 10
.10?

10 .10. Yeah? And you signed it right
there? Yeah.

All right.

What time does it actually say?

It says 7 .30?

7 .25?

Yeah, 7 .25.

10 10 year 725

That's insane.

That's absolutely insane.

That's a puzzle, right?

We're continuing to track Hurricane
Sandy as that massive storm churns up

East Coast and it's still headed our
way.

Saturday the 27th of October.

As Hurricane Sandy loomed about 350
miles off the east coast of New York, in

downtown Manhattan, the city was getting
ready for a scary event of a very

different nature.

Halloween weekend.

Pumpkins, witches and candy.

Lots of candy.

How you doing, you alright?

What's your name? Anna.

Hey, I'm Charlie.

Charlie.

Esther. I'm Dynamo.

So what we're going to do is I want to
get a good mixture of all of them. In

fact, here we are.

49 -flavored jelly belly assortment
right here.

Do you want to help me?

Yeah. I think you just pull it. I want
to get it pulled to the top. Oh, that's

lot. Pull it out? Yeah.

See that?

Got a good assortment there.

Okay now, Anna, I want you just to point
to any one colour.

Blueberry. This one right here? Yeah,
right there.

Just put your hands together

I

want

to eat them A real jelly bean

It's empty jelly beans.

Blueberry.

That's good.

He asked Anna to choose one color, and I
think you choose blue.

Blueberry. Blueberry.

And then he took the cup with all the
different jelly beans, put it on the

ground, and in one swift move, it turned
all blue.

And then he poured them out, and they
were all blue, and the cup was empty.

I couldn't believe it. We could eat them
too.

They're real. They're not raw or
anything.

I'm Vivian Lee with a New York One
Minute. With Sandy back to hurricane

strength, powerful weather is beginning
to hit the East Coast, heading in our

direction too.

That afternoon, I headed out to Coney
Island, which now stood directly in

Sandy's path.

Then we're out to sea.

The gigantic storm was making its way
towards us.

The amazing thing about New Yorkers is
that no matter what life throws at them,

they always come together in the face of
adversity.

And today was no exception.

I'm Dynamo.

I want you to help me out, sir.

Here's a dollar.

I want you to stick it in the Zoltar
machine.

I want you to get a fortune card out.

But I don't want you to read the card.

You want me to read it? I don't want you
to read it yet. I want you to hold it

between your hands like this.

Okay. So when it comes out, hold it
between your hands like this.

Zoltar is here to give you the wisdom of
the ancients. Do with it what you will.

Destiny is not a matter of chance.

It is a matter of choice.

Create your destiny wisely, my friend,
and surrender a bit more wealth for more

instruction from Zoltar.

Don't read it yet.

Don't look at it.

Now what I'd like you to do is think of
any place in the world that you'd like

to visit in the future.

Just get that place locked into your
mind.

You got a place?

Yeah. Name the place out loud.

Egypt. Egypt.

Always have a look at the fortune that
you just got. Have a read of it and read

it out loud.

Recently you have had to make some
judgments as others may be judging you.

wise man makes his own decisions.

An arrogant man follows the public
opinion.

A mountain is composed of the grains of
the earth. The ocean is made up of tiny

drops of water. The more we judge, the
less we love.

Patience and thought will show you the
right way.

One last thought. Good fortune can be
found in Egypt.

Oh, my gosh.

We're going to Egypt. We're going to
Egypt.

What do we do? That's amazing.

That's what it says.

How do they know?

Oh, my gosh. It says Egypt right there.

Oh,

my gosh.

That's impossible, right?

He gave me a dollar to put into the
Zotar machine there.

And he told me, you know, take the
ticket. And then after I got the ticket,

asked me what place would I want to
visit in the future. And then he's like,

okay, read, read the fortune.

And I'm reading through and it says one
last thought. Good fortune can be found

in Egypt. And that's really cool. That's
like random.

A darkness fell.

Coney Island closed its doors for the
last time before the evacuation and

itself for the inevitable onslaught
which was now only a day away.

I decided to head back to midtown
Manhattan where Halloween mevellers were

making the most of their last day before
the city was shut down.

Although tonight was a celebration, I
knew that many New Yorkers would be

stocking up on household goods the
following day, so I wanted to try

with that in mind.

What's your name, sir?

Clarence. Clarence, I'm Dynamo. Nice to
meet you.

Clarence, I need you to help me out.

So, first off, I need to get a napkin.

Where's it go?

Excuse me, sir. Do you have any napkins?

So, I've got a napkin.

I'm going to give you that.

Also, I'm going to give you a pen.

And what I'd like you to do is think of
any household object.

Don't say it out loud.

In the middle of a napkin, just try and
draw a picture of that object, yeah?

I'm going to go, I'm going to stand over
here so I can't see what you're

drawing, yeah? And when you've finished
drawing it, can you screw it up into a

ball so that I can't see it?

Yeah? Let me know when you've done that.

We've done that?

Yeah. Okay, I'll come back in now.

Alright.

Just try and visualise the object here
and say it over and over in your mind,

the name of it, over and over in your
mind.

A lightbulb.

I'm just trying to visualize that light
bulb. Yeah, everyone try to visualize

the light bulb. What?

Did you

hear that?

Hear that? Look.

I smashed it.

In

the

midst of crumbling my paper, I saw a
flashing light, and it destroyed my

lightbulb.

I'm still at a loss for words.

Sunday, the 28th of October.

With a gigantic storm less than a day
away, the sky above New York began to

change as the dark clouds rolled in.

I headed to Cat's Delicatessen on
Houston Street, one of the oldest and

famous delis in the city.

Can I try something with this cup?
Definitely So I'm gonna place it

the table.

Yeah, just point to a spot somewhere in
the middle of the table Right there?

Yes, right there.

Um, can I use this coffee?

Yeah, go ahead.

Yeah,

just move your finger.

From this spot right here. What?

What's the coffee?

Yeah, is that hot?

Yeah, it's warm.

It's warm, right?

Holy.

Wow, you are amazing. I'm like in shock.
You're amazing.

You're amazing.

That's awesome.

Holy smokes.

Holy smokes.

That's awesome. Thank you.

Wow.

No way. Shit.

I wonder if this is still drinkable.

These are empty, and he put it under the
table.

And as he twirled it, it was just... It
would go down. It emptied out.

And all of a sudden, he went like this.

And it was all there.

There isn't a hole or anything down
here. It's like solid.

And all of a sudden, it's just gone.

Good afternoon, and Sandy is closing in
on the New Jersey coastline, only about

100 miles to go. And here's what it
looked like on a satellite shot. Big

to stay inside as much as possible after
sunset tonight.

It's Monday afternoon.

The storm's getting closer and closer.

A few blocks up the street, apparently,
60 -mile -an -hour winds.

Twist ties.

A poem from some bad news.

It'll rain someday.

I know.

Conditions outside are dangerous and
they're only going to get worse in the

hours ahead.

Fire department is now on the scene of a
train collapse in Midtown.

The time for evacuation is over. Dean,
what's going on out there? An explosion

at a Con Ed plant on 14th Street. A Ford
Explorer just floated down the street.

Oh, my God.

When daylight came, the severe and
widespread damage from Hurricane Sandy

painfully clear.

It's like an apocalypse or something.

The next day, New York woke up to an
alien landscape ravaged by one of the

storms to hit North America.

There's absolute devastation here.

So many people lost their homes.

For a brief moment, It felt like one of
the most energised cities in the world

had just stopped.

But like it's always done in the past,
New York pulled itself together and soon

the rebuild was fully underway.

By Sunday, we'll have electricity back
downtown.

Within hours, setups like this one
popped up.

Crews handed out food packs, water, and
blankets.

Lots of people on the street now.

Cars are moving.

New York City is getting back to its
normal self.

It was almost time for me to leave the
US and head home.

This had been a journey I'd never
forget.

From Queen to Harlem.

Midtown Manhattan to Coney Island.

I'd found magic in the most unlikely
places, and the people of New York had

shown me why this is one of the greatest
cities on Earth.

The events of the past few weeks have
shown me how important it is for people

stay connected with each other.

This planet is only a speck of dust,
floating amongst a hundred billion

galaxies. So in the big scheme of
things, we're all next door neighbours.

For many people, the storm had wiped out
their only means of communication,

leaving them cut off and isolated.

So as I headed down to Times Square for
my last night, I wanted to see if it

would be possible, if only for a minute,
to create a connection between

everybody in one of the most iconic
places in the world.

What's your name? Maria.

And Julian. And Julian.

Julian and Maria. Everyone, Julian and
Maria.

Julian and Maria!

That's right!

Julian, would you stand back a little
bit? And then if you stand right there.

And are you two boyfriend and
girlfriend?

How long have you been together?

Six months.

Do you have your mobile phones with you?

Could you reach in and just get them
out? And then just hold them up like

Perfect. Like this, right?

I'm going to ask you to look at each
other in the eyes and really focus on

another, yeah?

So if you want to do that now, watch.

What happened?

I was calling her and she was calling
me. And then I hit no calls at all.

This is my phone. This time,

I want all of you guys to get your
phones out.

Everyone get your phones out. Everyone
get your phones out, yeah? I need you

to just focus.

It's like telling out of a movie, like,
everybody's phone is ringing from the

same number. How does that happen?

All those times where it's ringing.

No, this is like out of a movie or
something.

Everyone's looking around us. Not just
us. It was everyone.

They're all ringing.

They're all locking up. I can hear them
ringing all the time.

This is their takeover.

of people in here. It was like a
constant ring.

I don't know how to explain it. I was
right here, so I heard everyone's phone

ringing. One number that called
everyone.

I was so weird.

I know, it was scary.

Over here, and then all of a sudden,
everyone's phone started going off.

Did you get the phone call?

I got some phone call. Some weird phone
call. And I was like looking around, and

everyone was freaking out.

And it said, thanks for the phone call.

Brand new Dynamo Magician Impossible
will be calling back next Thursday night

nine. Next on Watch, a show like no
other. Try not to look away.
