STONE ROSES legend IAN BROWN has penned a song on his new album for superstar magician DYNAMO.

The Manc musician met the Bradford cardsharp a year ago and was blown away by his repertoire of mindboggling tricks.

Ian was so inspired by the trickster that he started writing lyrics about him straight away.

The unlikely pair have become close pals and Ian debuted his song, The Magic Man, at a showcase for Dynamo’s Concrete Playground DVD before Christmas.

Dynamo told me: “Me and Ian hit it off. He was interested in my magic and we kept in touch. I get on well with his kids. We all went to London Zoo recently to check out the monkeys.

“I was properly delighted when he told me he was writing a song about me. I opened a gig for him at the MEN Arena in front of 14,000 screaming fans.

“I went to his studio and he gave me the lyric sheet with a note to me on the bottom. He’s a legend.”

The chorus goes: “Magical offerings — the suspension of time/Some like bending spoons/ Dynamo’ll bend ya mind.” Another line reads: “At the greatest show on earth/Folks are slack-jawed by The Magic Man.”

Dynamo, real name Steven Frayne, grew up on a tough Bradford council estate. He learnt to deal with the local bullies by performing tricks his great grandad had taught him.

Now Dynamo flies the world to perform in front of the great and the good of music, sport and politics. He has left PRINCE CHARLES, DAMON ALBARN, CHRIS MARTIN, GWYNETH PALTROW and SIR PAUL McCARTNEY speechless by his card shark magic.
