He has stunned audiences with jaw-dropping stunts that defy logic and can make the most skeptical cynic believe in magic.

But in an daring new act, Bradford-born Illusionist Dynamo today took his impressive skills to even greater heights.

The 30-year-old entertainer took in London's sights by levitating beside the roof of a 15ft double-decker bus.

Defying gravity: Dynamo looks relaxed as he floats beside a 15ft bus. He levitated as the bus crossed London's Wetminster Bridge

Smiling for the cameras, Dynamo, whose real name is Steven Frayne, travelled alongside the two-storey bus with the palm of his hand placed on the roof.

He hung in mid-air with his other arm outstretched as he crossed Westminister Bridge. A police escort cleared the way for Frayne's daring feat, ensuring there was no traffic around the bus.

Viewers of the magician's hit TV show are used to seeing him do the impossible, but lucky fans who were travelling in the bus looked on in amazement at the stunt.

People on the bus took pictures of the 'you have to see it to believe it' moment.

The trickster's levitating act, in partnership with Pepsi MAX had onlookers asking 'Where are the wires?'

It has to be seen to be believed: These amazing pictures, taken by fans from the street (left) and inside the bus (right) show the trick from different perspectives

Thrilling: Smiling fans on the upper deck have a prime view of the stunt, which beggars belief

Perspective: A police escort ensured traffic was cleared around the vehicle for the amazing stunt

The entertainer is the new face of Pepsi Max and is fronting its Live for NOW campaign that will give hundreds of prizes away to customers.

Frayne's awad-winning show documents the tricks he has up his sleeve- from his mesmirising sleight of hand to his ability to walk on water.

He gained notoriety when he 'walked' across the Thames in 2011 to promote a new series of his show Magician Impossible.

Frayne has built his name on the celebrity circuit, astounding famous names with his tricks.

His previous tricks have included making Little Britain star Matt Lucas levitate before a live audience at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, and turning signed lottery tickets into cash in front of Robbie Williams and Davina McCall.

Acclaimed: Dynamo has baffled celebrity clients and industry experts with his skills. He was recognised by the magician's society, the Magic Circle, last year
