He has walked on the River Thames and levitated in front of the Christ The Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro. Now, magician Dynamo is set to wow the crowds of East Yorkshire when he brings his illusions to the tiny village of Burton Agnes.
Alan Wilson, who is bringing the Bradford magician to the stage outside the Blue Bell pub, admits he does not know what to expect when Dynamo comes to the region.
"I'm not sure if he'll bring Flamborough Lighthouse to the village or transform our car park into Bridlington beach," he said. "Who knows what to expect from Dynamo?"
The date of the performance is yet to be confirmed, although Mr Wilson expects it to take place in the last weekend in March or the first weekend in April, next year.
Mr Wilson, who owns the pub, said: "It will be one of his first outdoor shows like this.
"It's taken a huge amount of negotiation.
"We are just awaiting confirmation from his management on the exact date of the show, but it's happening.
"We are now accepted on the circuit as a premier entertainment centre and are looking to continue to lift the bar higher."
Mr Wilson, who earlier this year brought singer Katherine Jenkins to the village, also has plans for another big performance in the village.
On Monday at 7.30am he is set to announce details of a British pop act due to perform at the pub, with tickets going on sale at 8am.
The name of the performer will remain under wraps until then, but Mr Wilson has described them as "one of the biggest acts on the planet".
He said: "The aim has been to bring the biggest acts to this region and this announcement on Monday will do that – it is one of the biggest acts on the planet coming to the tiny village of Burton Agnes.
"The announcement will blow the region away.
"The pop act will be performing on the outdoor stage on May 15 and 16.
"I am also in talks with another big act to perform on the Sunday.
"It has created a lot of interest. People are already wanting to buy tickets before we have even announced the act."
There will be 2,000 tickets available for each of the shows.
In May, more than 1,500 people went to see Katherine Jenkins, who was backed by the 32-piece National Symphony Orchestra. Last year, the Blue Bell also welcomed opera singer Russell Watson.
Mr Wilson said: "Having had the likes of Katherine Jenkins and Russell Watson performing here does open up the opportunity to bring high-quality entertainment to East Yorkshire.
"However, this act announced on Monday is not classical, but pop.
"We're determined to not just be another country pub in East Yorkshire, but to also bring top-class entertainment. I enjoy doing it.
"As well as the outdoor events, we've brought the likes of Paul Daniels and Derek Acorah.
"It has got to the stage that artists want to come to us."
