FANS of Bradford magician Dynamo have responded on social media after he lost out to a scorpion.
The world-renowned performer posted on Twitter, stating "Scorpion 1-0 Dynamo".
There were "before and after" photos included with the tweet.
The first showed Dynamo looking inquisitively at a scorpion on his hand.
The second picture then shows him being checked over in a hospital bed, followed by a snap of his hand covered in bandages.

The post was accompanied by a laughing emoji, giving the impression that Dynamo was taking the ordeal in jest.
The tweet currently has 74 retweets and 1.1k likes, with people responding in a number of ways.
Many took Dynamo's humorous tone.
One person responded saying: "Scorpion almost made you disappear..."
While another said: "Well, scorpion venom is the costliest venom in the world to extract.
"You got it for free. Take it in a kind of positive way."
Most other people simply replied to wish the magician well.
Dynamo hit out earlier this year after a national newspaper described him as "fighting fit".
The magician - who was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease almost 20 years ago - said:Â "The way someone looks isn't necessarily an indicator of health".
