Did anyone watch the "Magic's biggest secrets revealed 5" on fox tonight, they revealed a whole bunch of tricks including the staying in ice for 7 days david blaine trick.

They claim he had a body double stand in for him at times, as they exchanged places through a floor trap door while vision was obscured by the use of dry ice. Below the stage was a comfort room.

I don't care, though; Blaine's got a new special coming next week and that guy is cool.

I don't understand why people think they're cool or feel a need to show how people do certain tricks. We know it's fake, duh, what are they trying to prove? Oh my god you proved it was fake, hallelujah, you're amazing, you fucking idiot.

Know what i mean?

The only reason I watch those shows, is because the girls ar HOT!!!

 

[Peyote Killa]

Did they say anything about him biting the quarter and then spitting it back on? Or what about the levatation bit, did they say anything about that?
I don't care if David Blaine is fake or not he is still out there. Kinda like Manson, we all know it's just a show, but the guy still is whacked out.

They didn't show either one of those, but I know they have in the past. As far as the levitation, it is called the Balducci Levitation. You can do a search on Davied Blaine and pretty much find out how all his tricks are done. It is more on presentation then anything else.

Cool, I always wondered if his stuff was well known throughout the magician population. I wonder why he is the first guy to really do magic like the way he does. Either way I still like his presentation, he makes it fun to watch. I never liked the whole "I'm gonna saw her in half" bit.

The quarter-biting trick is so old I'm surprised he even dared to do it on TV. You can guy the trick at a kid's joke shop.

It's a pre-cut quarter with a spring hinge on it. To "bite" it, he only bends the quarter backward in half, then when he pretends to spit it back he released it with his thumb and the hinged portion pops right back up into place.

The only other Blaine trick I know how to do is the one where the spectator selects a card from a thumbed deck, then Blaine throws the deck against a window and the selected card is pasted on the other side.

www.davidblaine.com has video of his stuff.

usually with magicians, the best way to see what they are really doing is listen to what they say and where they point you.
if they say "I'm not doing this..."
then they are doing that.
if they say "I won't do this..."
then they will do that.
and if they point or look one way - the action is going on the other way.

also, tv specials produced by the magician mean that everyone on camera could be part of the production - so something that looks like it is on the street and spontaneous could be fully staged, or have plants in there very easily.

no matter what, he tends to date some cute girls.

 

[Mickey Knox]

I'll tell you who dates cute girls, Edward Norton.
He dates Salma Hayek for christs sake! Lucky SOB!

Also, everyone knew the ice/igloo thing was fake, but how about that levitation shit. I don't care if its a trick. It is sick.

trick?! no way!

he is a hovering angel of light send down from the heavens.
