David Blaine

[JRP]

This guy is nuts. He jus stayded in a sphere of water for 7 days with a oxygen tank then got put in shackles and got his tank of oxygen takin away from him and he had to undo himself and he got to 7min and 18sec before he almost drowned. Hes just insane.

[250ex13]

i jst saw that insane:eek:

[Mxjunkie]

damnit, anyone know where I can see this online? lol..

[MOFO]

This guy is good. I did not see the this underwater deal, but I've seen his other shows...

The amazing part is he just walks down the street and will hover in front of strangers.

Some of his card tricks are incredible...one of them is when he is standing in front of a store's glass display and makes a card appear on the other side of the glass....

If there is such a thing as black magic, he's my number one pick as a person that knows it! LOL! :D

[wckedclownz69]

i just seen it.. if it wasnt for the chains he wouldve lasted till 9 min

he was in the water for 7 straight days...
his skin must feel so weird!!

he thought he would get 9 minutes....i barely got 7 minutes, 2 minuets off the record, thats not even close!

but his magic, is definetly black magic!!

[nosliw]

definately something demonic running through that guys veins

[trx400exxracer]

I just saw it he is wild:eek2:

[derekhonda]

Piece of cake. I did that two weeks ago just for fun.

there is an explantion for everyhting he does, people dont float....you know that.


and i doubt demons posses his soul.

[DJJ450r]

The card trick with the cell phone was pretty cool:D

[Quadfather]

It's all just slight of hand. That's why they call them "tricks".

I'll admit, he does it well.

[Jake250ex]

did you guys also know he went 49 days without eating hung in a plexi glass room for public dislpay?

emerged 50lbs lighter...

also stayed I beleive for 3 days with no bathroom, food or drink standing in a room of ice... bahahah

do you guys remember the south park episode with him in it? classic

My favorite trick he does is...

He taps on a window, showing its sturdy..He then crumples up a newspaper and then sticks his fist in it against the window. You can see his hand on the other side of the window, he grabs something from the window and then pulls it out of the newspaper with it in his hand.

Explain that please. :D

[hartnett18]

that guys is crazy he can levatate in mid air and get pretty high and do the same with other people. if theres tricks behind his work it is sneaky stuff. freaks me out some of the **** he can do.

[Quad18star]

His card tricks are amazing .

You can say it's all slide of hands , but how in the heck do you make a card appear on the opposite side of a glass like Eric said ??? He either has to have someone helping him or something for that trick to happen .

Also how can you explain someone levitating?? Magic or no magic ... that's just f***ing freaky .

I think the thing that makes him so good , is the fact that he never really shows any emotions .... he's always got a weird look in his eyes ... always so serious .

I'd pay money to see him do his magic in real life !!!!

[Jake250ex]

him pulling his heart out -

[honduh440]

i dont understand why he stayed in the water for 7 days or whatever leading up to the stunt. Just from that it made him way unpreparred. All the movement from getting the chains off took way to much oxygen to the muscles. I think he would have made it if he would of just went for 1 stunt and not 3 in 1.

yea i think he sold his soul to the devil

[400exrules]

even if the stuff he does is fake, he's extremely good at it, and well trained. ive been watching him on tv for a long time

[Mxjunkie]

I remeber hearing when they levitate they have these magnets you can buy at magic shops that go onto the bottom of your shoes, its the north and south pole effect. You try and put the magnets togather but they refuse each other and you fly into the air. You can buy them at magic stores they are expensive though. Now I dont know if Blaine uses them or not but I know a buddy of mine off the site that does magic shows and such does.

[400exvet]

It's not that it is fake, it is just an illusion or a trick! No-one can levitate, no-one can stick their hands through glass without breaking it, no-one can make a card go through glass without breaking it, a playing card can not call a cell phone, he cannot bend the steel bars of a jail cell ....and on and on and on.... no-one can do any of this without help from other people and things being set up in advance. Which is all made to trick your mind and the way it thinks and the way it was taught to think all its life. I do admit, he is as good at it as anyone, better than most. It also helps more people believe he is really magic when he does all those other crazy stunts that are real. Again, that is part of messing with your mind.....as soon as you see him do any trick, your brain automatically goes back to all the media hype that goes on around his crazy stunts and makes you believe even more that he really is magic. I still like to watch him, although I get more of a kick from the peoples expressions that he has just tricked!:eek: :eek2: :huh

[trick250r]

i remember seeing something on TV about his stay in a "ice room" or whatever you call it. when the guys would go to clean the ice, he and, i think, two other doubles would go through a trap door and live in a small room with all of the necessities. its not magic, just simple illusions that have been set-up in advance.

[rbgnwa45]

I remember he took a quarter, bit off half of it, then spit it back on :p

[NorCalRacer]

He is definitely the best magician around. Puts all the "greats" to shame. If he wants $$$, I bet if he made a book with all his tricks in it we'd all buy. I admit a few of them have got me wondering...
The hand through the window and the card inside the glass are definitely his best stunts. He is also not the only one to levitate, I have seen the magnet shoes for sale before.

[HondaATC500X]

Theres another way to do the levitate trick. If you've got the right kind of shoes and the people watching you are from the right angle and distance, all you have to do is put both feet side by side, leave one flat, and lift your entire weight up with the tip of the other foot. When people look at it from the "right" angle they never see the other foot move :)

[jcv400ex]

I don't know how the guy does it, but he is amazing. Did you see him dig out that ladies teeth last night and blow them back in? She was trembling after he blew them back in.....her hand was shaking like a leaf. You can't fake that reaction!

[rbgnwa45]

Is all that stuff REAL?!

[<DRS>GPF]

mama sez he is du debil...:devil:

the real db

[hasbeenttduner]

You can see in the heart vid it is fake.
Wake up.

[Mxjunkie]

No one said it was real, you'd have to be a moron to think it was real.

:blah:


On the topic of magic, I know everyone knows of Criss Angel " The mind freak" He's almost like David but he trys random things. I like David's style more how about you guys?

Can anyone explain this? lol I watched it and I dont know what to think, Possibly actors? I'm digging the chick in it :devil:
