David Blaine "real" magician?
« 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?!?

It's an illusion. I'm not too sure if magic exists.

I'd like to think it does. But that will involve alchemy and changing molecular structures of things on the fly. Isaac Newton used to be into these things.

I just dont get how anyone can be impressed by impossible feats of magic.
They are just tricks.

Why? You are old enough to have seen Houdini in the flesh. The rest are just amateurs.

Dude is a great throwback to the game. He shits all over Chris angel and his paid actors and camera tricks.

News for you mate, Blaine uses camera tricks and blends it with street footage with a crowd

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.

Now that's magic. :P

As for Blaine. He's good at what he does but like all magicians, its just props, camera tricks, actors or sleight of hand.

Producers interfering with his work that's all.
