Love the stunts. That Chris Angel guy is boring and most of his stuff is easy to figure out. Blaine gave up the magic tricks and is now an entertainer who does things that almost no one else in the world can do or would want to do.

Magic is tired. The stunts make him special.

All the shit these guys do are fake. Criss Angel and David Blaine are the same, and neither interest me in the least.

If they can make a living getting people to watch that shit though, all the power to them.

Like his stuff, refreshing change from Criss Angel. The stunts set him apart as there's no phony camera tricks or angles that can let him hold his breath for what, 9 minutes, on live tv. Or spend however long underwater in a public place.

He is taking what Houdini did with his incredible body and muscle control and making it more modern. You read some crazy stuff about Houdini like he could hang upside down and pick up needles with his eyelashes and other crazy stuff with his body control. Can't smoke screen that shit.

Did I miss something on the final "Leap of Death" or whatever they called it.

Wasn't it just a bungee jump?:think2:

i enjoy blaine and angel, but dont really enjoy either of their stunt tricks, blaine's are not always tricks.

I enjoy the street magic/slight of hand stuff, the stunts really do nothing for me and i normally change the channel when either of them do the stunts. Angel's are the worse though as they are not even real and are just camera angles and paid audience members. Blaines are a little more interesting as he tries to do them for real. But still i yawn at the stunt stuff.

Just a thought though, how are Criss Angels stunt tricks even hard to do? I mean the walk on water thing anyone can do when walking on glass and having paid people in the pool. He is a very talented performer, but the stunts seem so easy and boring. Just stick to the slight of hand which i find very entertaining.

Google David Blaine parody on youtube. There is a guy who does Blaine spoofs, has about 5 of them. They are pretty funny.

He was definatly the man when he first appeared on the scene as a street magician back in the late 90's.

That was lame, and had to be an embarrassing moment for ABC. Even more embarrassing for John Saunders. What was he thinking?

Find him supremely annoying. Thought all his stunts were staged 'til I read his Wikipedia page yesterday. Sounds like most of it was the real deal and that he put his body through a lot of bad stuff. Odd dude.
