David Blaine
Okay, has anyone here heard of David Blaine, that Street Magician guy? He's becoming very famous and popular and articles of him have been written in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and USA Today and maybe more. You may have seen him on TV performing his "Frozen Man" stunt because Entertainment Tonight and the news went to film him and he did this stunt in Times Square in N.Y. with many viewers watching. His magic is absolutely mind-blowing. He doesn't do your typical "stage and audience" performance; he actually goes on the street in different states and cities and does his magic to ordinary people. I'm telling you...he honestly has some kind of weird powers or something, because he was able to bring a dead pigeon back to life, he was able to read people's minds, and he does this amazing card trick where he asks someone to write their name on a card, put it back in the deck, then throws it in the air and the card somehow was stuck inside a beer bottle the people were close to. I mean, it was a brief moment, so there's no way someone could've grabbed that card and stuffed it in, there's no way. Seriously, this guy is good...I hope someone here has heard of him.

I wish I heard of him. That sounds tight. I don't really watch magic stuff like that, I used to when I was younger. Maybe I've grown out of it? Who knows, but I'd like to see this guy. He doesn't have a website does he?

did he stay in the block of ice..for as long as he intended? Or was he cut free beforehand. He does some crazy stunts..a true testament to how much the human body can endure.

David Blaine
I've heard of him. He also had to stand on top of this thing like a couple of stories high and stay there for some time. He also was on trl a while back. He ate a piece of string and pulled it out of his navel belly button. It was pretty neat. I hope to see more of his tricks.

I know this guy.. He's so trippy to watch.. First time I saw him I was pretty ripped, and I was boggled for days, literally. *chuckles*
He brought a dead pidgeon back to life.. O_O?! Man.. and I just thought he could float and stuff. I need to snag that DVD.

I've seen only one of his shows, but man....he performs some crazy sh!t! I really like how he "floats" and does all those clever card tricks, but I've missed some of his more recent stunts lately. Does anyone know if he has another show coming up?

He sounds fantastic. I think I've seen the Frozen Man stunt before, I'm not too sure about it but I saw something like that before so that's gotta be him. I gotta check it out because I love those "magic things" but I rarely see them

OK, OK BACK ON TOPIC...... Abolished Plan After the "frozen alive", he said he will receive a shot on the chest, with nothing over it, fall on the ground, remove the bullet, and go away walking! Sound a little risky? Not to worry, he explains, “I’ve been working in the gym several hours a day, doing ancient Chinese exercises involving energy transferal through the muscles.” By strengthening his body and mind, he intends to “stop” the bullet with his body. The following year he hopes to be tied upside down off the side of a building 10 stories above a sidewalk. Now, has he already done that? Or is he still to do it? Damn, now, that would, more than surprise me, completely freak me out!!! EDIT: Now that I look at the title of that article, "Abolished Plan", does that mean he won't do it? Now I'm feeling stupid but I want to know!

Blue3vilx: Well, the guy doesn't have an official website, but if you go here you can subscribe to a newsletter that gives info on his latest shows, merchandise, events, and all. There's even a forum too.
Kabuki: Yeah, he stayed in the block of ice for 3 days...just like he intended. He was in pretty bad shape afterwards..he was all thin and stuff and I think he had to be hospitalized for a while. REChick: I wish I saw that when he stood on top of that pillar! I missed it. But yeah, that belly button thing was unbelievable...I'm so boggled! BlackThornn: Yup, he brought a dead pigeon back to life. What's even more scarier is the fact that when he was in the process, there's a squirrel in the background that actually came towards him and looked at what he was doing. ;;; Usually animals run away from people, but not from him. Oh and besides the pigeon, he also brought a fly back to life. No joke. DragonSphere: Man, I don't know when he has a new show coming up, sorry. king_freak: Yeah, I know what you're talking about...but...um....the levitating thing is kinda different with him. After he does it..he always seems to get really sick and coughs a lot or has pain in his side or seems kinda...dazed. I mean..it really seems like he actually..has some power that made him float. Plus, in the DVD, in the section called "David Blaine: Unseen" he got really sick and had a sharp pain in his side and called for some help. Frozen: I have no idea about that article you read..I never heard anything of that, so I'm not sure if he already did it, if he didn't, or if the plan was scrapped in the end. |
