Dude found a way to love pain. It's like his brain translates translate pain into "interesting", so he can approach it with curiosity rather than dread. That's the real magic.

[@KadeKillz]

This episde really reminds of the Tony Hawk one chip challenge tbh. Both can suffer through immense pain but don't show it cause they've endured it or mentally prepared. Amazing interview either way :)

[@John-jr4dj]

@@claytheist6736 Pain at the foundational level is a physical response. Nerve endings send signals to your brain that they have been activated by certain stimuli. But your reaction to/processing of pain is entirely emotional. If everyone can ignore pain to a certain individual level then the idea that some people can ignore pain to an extreme level, particularly if they train to do so, is entirely plausible. As with all feats of rationality overcoming emotion, preparation is key. Mr. Blaine is a master of the art in this respect.

[@magicadolratz99]

Have you seen the Buddhist monk who doused himself with gasoline and blaze himself to death as a form of protest? It was also used as an album cover of the band rage against the machine. David might not mention it because maybe that wasn't his image he's trying to portray but he might have transcended Human suffering. There was also an interview footage somewhere here in youtube together with his Mentor Paul Harris that they've comeup with the "street magic tv special" when they were both on "Shrooms" and was originally called the concept of that TV Special as "The Urban Shaman"

@@DanLyndon personally I think that hot wings started coming out of his sleeves once he left the cameras and other eyes from seeing. Last thing to fall out was the actual Reaper Pepper.

[@rawnukles]

Never get into a pepper eating contest with a magician...for all we know David some how put both peppers into the Sean's mouth.

[@mm6705]

Wow, this one was really great, I think out of all the Hot Ones I've seen so far, I've never been more pumped for the guest enjoying the wings so much!

[@Beetlejuice_88]

David was the best guest yet, makes me sad for the people we've lost who I know would've been so entertaining on here, I think had Robin Williams been here today, He would've loved this and been a guest and made us die with laughter at his experience and quips. We need more Hot Ones!

[@Millahtime]

I love how David always just stares at you after he produces the trick. Just stares and watches you react.

[@KingKien95]

I would imagine that to be the best part. I would too

[@JoelTaylor734]

That's his pay off. That's why he does it.

[@HJ-si7hd]

Getting a reaction is his favorite part. You get to watch people become kids again. He touched on that a bit in the anecdote about practicing for his mother; he didn't say he wanted to see what he could do, instead it was about what he could amaze her with next.

[@thedanieldehart]

This may be the most I've ever seen Sean thrown off his game. Not in a bad way, but in like a pure reverent way. He was in awe of how David took everything. And when DB did the magic trick, it was like we got to watch what Sean was like as a kid...his smile was so genuine. Bravo for the first guest!!

[@Amadeus2054]

I know right! Seeing him giggling uncontrollably when the pepper was cut open, so genuine it eliminates the chance of the trick being scripted. David Blaine is something else!

[@rogerroger4216]

HOW DID HE DO THAT

[@Shebeast3]

👏👏

[@ColoradoStreaming]

@@Amadeus2054 I think I have it figured out. The card was pre-selected by David. He had 2 other cards like it already torn the exact same way and put into the peppers, probably through the stem that was glued back on. David used mind tricks to have Sean pick that card by having it already presented out then asked back and forth to make it seem like Sean actually picked the card. The card was already pre-torn or perforated to have that shape. David actually ate the card then had both peppers with a backup card. That is why it took David longer to chew his pepper because it had part of a card in it too. The trick comes from the illusion of choice that Sean thought he had when picking cards.

[@Call_Upon_YAH]

Jesus Christ died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who has faith in him. True faith in Jesus will have you bear good fruit and *drastically* change for the better! Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness. 👍🏾 *God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE;* the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! *For these three are one.* As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him. Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.

[@marcpernia8487]

I like him sooo much more as himself, as apposed to his performing persona. Great episode!

David Blaine has monk-like pain tolerance and focus, so incredible and special to see. He's an extremely wholesome person as well, always wants to share laughter and magic with everyone around him. I get so jealous of anyone getting to have a conversation or get to experience his magic up-close. He's absolutely a role model to humankind. Fantastic first guest of the season!!!!

[@vaprex]

My absolute favorite was when he was with Ricky Gervais where David skewered his own bicep and had Ricky touch the metal skewer as it came out. Ricky legit just about crapped himself...
