Illusionist and magician Dynamo (pictured left with Niall Horan) has revealed that he is friends with the One Direction heartthrobs and they keep asking him to show them some tricks they could recreate themselves.

Speaking from the red carpet at the recent 'XMen: Days of Future Past' premiere, the star explained that he spent some time with the 'Story Of My Life' hitmakers in Los Angeles and keeps meaning to teach them some magic, but just hasn't found the time yet.

Dynamo told reporters: "Me and the Directioners, we're cool! We hang out quite a bit and they always ask me to teach them something crazy to help them out... we haven't had the chance yet!"

It has also been reported that all five members of One Direction made the Top 5 of the Britain's Richest Young Musicians list, which was compiled by the Sunday Times newspaper, with individual fortunes of £14 million.
