Title: David Blaine "real" magician?
Post by: Submissionfytr on March 26, 2014, 01:40:46 PM
This guy continues to blow me away and does shit that cannot be explained unless the participants are in on his tricks and cooperating. However, no one comes forward saying they have or he approached them to cooperate, etc. Here is a new, 30 second perfect example in tmz this morning:

Any opinions or thoughts? Can make muscle appear or bench 1,500 lbs as well, lol?!?

While it may be true a lot of people "want to believe" and are more easily fooled, I would think (especially with a well known, successful guy like Blaine) there are a bunch who are on the look out for any irregularity or clue to how he is pulling off his tricks. The guy is good, and agree he buries Angel.

this
some of the spells he casts change the form or bring into form

you can learn this "magick" as its "spell"ed on the web

blaine is just the man to study this im sure there is some consequences he has to live with though

blaine couldnt use majic on this stunt, he had to actually practice in a tent at high elevation and knowledge of chemistry blood doping he did to obtain this victory

blaine will go to any lengths to "win" he readily admits this

blaine is extremely knowledgeable, hes well past the "should i do volume or HIT or increase protien " mindset.

many should take note and change there habits, but if you dont see this post then you will remain most likely.

his mindset is into the very technical, mathmatical side of knowing and theorizing he is a scientist

If you watch carefully the person that is asking him the question doesn't turn the card over. David turned it over, that is when he switched the card for the Kind of Diamonds

Fairly easily explained.

Harrison Ford is simply in on it. There was no "card guessed" 'cause it was arranged in advance. There was no card appearing in fruit because it was placed there. There was no shock because Harrison Ford is an actor....

Magicians have used suggestion, mild hypnotism almost, to what they call "impress" the card they want a person too choose for many years. Who knows how many cards were missing from the deck? There could have been !0 cards missing. All he has to do is choose one of those. Blaine asks him to pick a piece of fruit, then he asks what the card was. Blaine has a deck of cards in his pocket that are marked. When Ford names the card, Blaine riffs throughout the deck & grabs the card he needs. Watch the weird way he hold he holds the knife, & then makes sure Ford is holding on to the Orange when he cuts it. Magicians are masters of sleight at hand. He makes the cut in the orange & inserts the folded card & then gives the Orange to Ford.

I'm stoned.

Magicians have used suggestion, mild hypnotism almost, to what they call "impress" the card they want a person too choose for many years. Who knows how many cards were missing from the deck? There could have been !0 cards missing. All he has to do is choose one of those. Blaine asks him to pick a piece of fruit, then he asks what the card was. Blaine has a deck of cards in his pocket that are marked. When Ford names the card, Blaine riffs throughout the deck & grabs the card he needs. Watch the weird way he hold he holds the knife, & then makes sure Ford is holding on to the Orange when he cuts it. Magicians are masters of sleight at hand. He makes the cut in the orange & inserts the folded card & then gives the Orange to Ford.

I'm stoned.

These tricks are done in a certain way.  They prepped the area with all sorts of hidden cards.  The deck was stacked to not show all 52 but make you think they're there but limit your choice to about 10 possible cards.  If it  was the 9Hearts, it was in the orange.  The ace of spaces was hidden in the apple.  The 8clubs was hidden in his oven etc...  Depending on Harrison's choice he new where to get the card from.  Once the trick was done production crew cleaned up the mess.

Did Calista have an ace of spade somewhere gallantry forbids you to say?

The trick was easy.  Calista was hiding behind a thin strand of magicians string.

But yet no one ever comes out saying Blaine approached them to be "in" on some trick... Not even the famous like Harrison Ford, Jamie Foxx, Snoop whatever, all were blown away in real life where it counts

Why would they?

Nope.

Harrison was in on it.

It really is that simple
