Dynamo enjoys a night out in London after vowing to return to magic amid battle with Crohn’s disease
ILLUSIONIST Dynamo spoke out recently about his secret battle with Crohn's disease which has put his stellar career on hold.
But the global star looked in good spirits as he enjoyed a night out in London last night.
Dynamo - whose real name is Steven Frayne - was seen arriving at swanky celebrity hangout The Chiltern Firehouse, looking casual in black jeans and a black jacket.
The 34-year-magician recently revealed he is battling arthritis in his hands as a result of his condition, but is working with a physio and has now revealed he's planning a return to work.
During an appearance on Good Morning Britain earlier this week, Dynamo revealed he's plotting new stage shows and coming up with some amazing new tricks.
He said: "I've got tours coming up.
"I'm constantly thinking of new ideas so when I come back I'll have new [tricks] for you.
"You have to be able to adapt - travelling to new places has given me inspiration."
When asked if he can still do any tricks, he replied: "I can do little bits here and there - I'm working with physios."
He recently went to Lebanon to meet with young Syrian refugees who have fled the raging civil war in their homeland.
In a poignant moment Dynamo said he took inspiration from the youngsters' bravery.
He said: "If these Syrian children can survive out there - I can come back and do some magic."
Dynamo was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, which is a type of inflammatory bowel condition, as a teenager and had to have half his stomach removed aged 17.
In March, he shocked fans by sharing an image of himself with a bloated face, showing off the side effects of his medical treatments. He also admitted he was in "excruciating pain" nearly every day, and had banned gluten, diary, fat and vegetables from his diet.

But despite saying the last eight months have been particularly bad, he has assured fans he is on the mend.
He said: "I've had Crohn's for a long time, I've been used to dealing with it - it's a bit of trial error.
"The last eight months got really bad. I blew me up like a balloon - but it's given me time to fulfil other commitments so I went to Lebanon to help with refugee children."
