Dynamo's problem is breaking the rules of reality. When it's a ridiculous trick, you can make a polo mint come out of your throat (complete Chris Angel jack). But when you're asking a random person for a glass bottle, and bending it in front of them, there isn't ANY explanation. There can be no secret hidden thing. He could switch the bottle, but he'd have to have the same type of bottle, which he wouldn't have been able to predict.
I loved the first season of Dynamo but that bullshit just gets to me. Like the butterflies on the wall. That same dude exposing him put up a regular picture from that high class pub, no cheap as fuck butterflies on the wall. As well as this, he shows one of the butterflies falling flat after a string clearly snaps. The entire trick was Dynamo or someone else simply pulling a string and making connected pieces of paper on a wall move. That isn't clever, intelligent or "magic", it's just a camera placement designed to get people watching.
