Ten David Blaine's Performances that are likely to Blow Your Mind
Hello Steemians!
David Blaine is a highly talented magician. I am not a big fan of magic. The reason I distaste magic in general is simply because it insults my scientific outlook of life. However, David Blaine pushes the 'trickery' envelope far enough, and sometimes too far to the point where many would question their own reality. In-fact some have accused David Blaine of sorcery and possessing daemons. Scientifically minded people are likely to dismiss his antics as CGI or some form of camera manipulation, fast hand movement, distractions, etc.
I will let you all be the judge of this.
These are 10 David Blaine's performances (excluding of course his 'stopping a bullet with his mouth', or 'buried alive' or even staying prolonged periods in water and ice in front of an audience.)
In no particular order:
(1) David Blaine Performs a Frog Trick For Celebrities
Question: where are the frogs coming from?
(2) David Blaine Pierces an Ice Pick through his Hand
Question: can you explain the absence of blood?
(3) David Blaine Performs Magic in Harrison Ford's Abode
Question: was the card and fruit randomly selected?
(4) David Blaine Pierces a Long Needle through his Arm
Question: can you fully explain the absence of blood?
So far, I know what you may be thinking: 'well of course the celebrities are in on it'
Question: what about these performances below?
(5) David Blaine Performs in the Street
Question: How did the guy's signature show up on the bill?
(6) David Blaine Performs in a Gym
Question: How was the randomly selected card retrieved from an inflated basketball?
(7) David Blaine and the Dead Bird in a Park
Question: Was the bird in on the act i.e. trained?
(8) David Blaine visits a Family and does a Card-Money Trick Combo
Question: was the reaction entertaining?
(9) David Blaine and the Book
Question: Was she in on it? if not, how was that possible?
(10) David Blaine and the Ring
Question: do you have any questions? I think I somewhat figured this one out, but I am still not sure.
There are countless other tricks/performances performed by Blaine that can be searched on youtube. Two more that come to mind relating to the lotto is a) he helps a homeless man redeem a wining lottery and b)he asks random people to generate random numbers and Blaine happens to show them a printed lottery ticket that includes all their randomly selected numbers (pre-printed).
Keep on steeming!
This is quite incredible and hilarious. I have no meaningful explanation for all his trickery but they are entertaining and beyond imagination. I remember he was once suspended in the sky in London in a glass cubicle for days!
yes, the London suspension, that must have taken a lot of mental stamina.

Entertainment is an artform especially after Houdini turned this branch of entertainment into something that people just couldn't ever imagine to be possible!
They make people believe that the impossible is possible!
Not a bad thing in all the negativity that we are surrounded by everywhere we turn!
yep!
