yeah, his street magic is the best

I saw one of his TV specials and he did that card trick and the card was in a little girl's back pocket
and once he threw the deck of cards at a store window from outside the store and the guy's card was stuck to the window, on the INSIDE

and he does this thing where he can just tell you what card you are thinking of by 'reading your mind', and he did it into the tv camera, to the viewer (ME) and he picked the card I was thinking of, I SWEAR!

I saw that one on TV a couple of days ago. I watched a documentary once (and wished I hadn't because it kind of ruined it) that explains how he does all his tricks. Really clever stuff. He's great.

I do agree that a lot of things he does have no logical explanation. And i do truely believe that they aren't illusions- they are pushing human barriers etc. I just don't like this stunt, i do think it is some way kind of sick really- interesting, but you know- i hope maybe it makes people think about how horrible it is to starve.

lol. That's what people actually think when you watch the shows! it's incredible. It just goes to show how good he is, when people only have super-natural explanations.

I wouldn't want to ruin it for anyone. Some are just pure skill, others are totally ingenius (often amazingly simple) ideas. The only disappointing one is his levitation trick. I'm sure you could find the solutions all over the net if you really want :)

But I still think that illusionist who made the orient express disappear and walked through The Great Wall of China was better (David Copperfield, I think?)

P.S. The shoe one was never explained, I want to see that one :)

David blaine is amazing.  The guy is a nut case, but the stuff he does is incredible.  Some of his "tricks" are unexplainable.

FREAKY!

I might have to find out how he did that. Something didn't look right about it when they showed it on TV. You always wonder if it is edited in. But the way people react to him is FREAKY!
