I like Daivd Blaines card tricks , he is really fast . To answer darkness , chriss angel is good , but his levitation . going down the building , there is wires attached to him . actually he just realese a movie teaching people how to levitate. I m not saying they are no good , but they used a lot of camera tricks , and people , when they do the specials .

it looks real because there is wires attached to him . the people were in it and it was tape to make people think how the hell he did that . sorry guys but there were wires attached to him . In his special he only does the balducci levitation twice and if you see the angles of the camera (it s kind of far from him).

One thing I couldn't figure out is if you're going on National TV, if you're gonna make a big deal about this 'holding your breath' dilly-o... then why didn't he practice?

OK OK he did practice and they showed it but he obviously didn't break the record in the practices and I recall he even said during the build-up segments that he had trouble around the 5-6 minute mark... so why go on TV knowing you can't do it?

It's common sense.. no??? Or did he think spending a week in water will turn him into Aquaman?

Also do not believe everything you see on tv since a lot of it it s not true . like the one where chriss angels levitates a women , the people around him were actually in it and knew all about it .

Anyway... did anyone else think his doctors last night were a bunch of fakos? I mean, did we really need to see one of the doctors, very nonchalantly, holding up a needle and squirting it... TWICE? Yeah, TWICE for the camera, como no queriendo la cosa. Puhleeze! Doctors....totaly fake!!! Art of levitation David Blaine Levitation: How Does Blaine Levitate ? Above anything else Blaine does, his levitation is the most sought after triumph of illusion. Ironically, Blaine used a combination of techniques to rivet and amaze onlookers in his street specials. One is a crude technique called the Balducci levitation. Just search the internet and you can find the simple secret on hundreds of two-bit exposure sites put up by 12 year old kids and the help of Geocities free web service. Even the Amazing Randi now provides a link to an exposure site, sadly buckling under the pressure from his readers to tell them how Blaine's levitation is performed. But to learn the beautiful and crude Balducci, to really learn it... you must follow some competent instruction which will help turn the illusion from a bland secret into the flawless presentation of an extraordinary effect. The illusion is taught in the Street Magic Video named above. The second levitation David Blaine performed on the Street Magic Special was one where he was seen to float two feet off the ground briefly. No one will be doing this unless they have several thousand dollars - forget it. The levitations that come closest to it are probably the "Elevator" and the "King Rising" Levitation. The Elevator is difficult to master and is about $100. King Rising Levitation takes practice but only runs about 20 bucks. An advantage of King Rising is that it involves no gimmicks or secret props... the levitation is entirely impromptu and can be done at a moment's notice. Grandmothers have been known to lose their dentures while watching this.

WAIT SO HOW DO THEY DO IT???

By far I think that`s the freakiest trick I have ever seen. He really leaves me thinking. I remember years ago people were saying that he`s the antichrist.

Chris Angel is a darker kinda magician (maybe hes a devil worshipper)

But David Blaine is more like an "extreme" sports/magician which seems a little more practical...more likeable...not so much darkness around him...but did anyone see how in Vegas...he took out the girls teeth??? Oh man when he blew in her face..supposedly to but the teeth back in...I swear she looked possessed for a split second..it was scary!!!!!! and how bout how he bent the jail bars?!?!? those guys were scared ****less...was that strentgh or magic????

The guy is very good at magic tricks. Now he's also crossing-over to another level of "magic", which relates to "superhuman" tasks. He's definetely a disciplined guy, and has accomplished much more than most humans (physically speaking), he tries to take his body to extreme limits, and usually comes out of it victorious. Last night he couldn't beat the world record, but staying underwater for a week....and holding his breath for 7 mins!?!? that's insane. I tried it last night, and i could only hold it for 1 min and a half. I really enjoy his tricks..I even learned how to do a couple, but he's really fast with his hands.

You're right....he's very disciplined.....wow
