[@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.

@@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.

[@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.

Agreed. I've seen him perform on late night shows a number of times, but he's always quite obviously performing in a way that is meant to highlight the trick, which works well for him, but it's very flat affect, deliberate and slow speaking, and it's so fascinating to see him participating in something that feels natural and almost giddy at times, like when he's talking about being a kid at Tannen's.

It’s due to his ability to tolerate physical pain. Once you get used to the idea “I’m not going to die or be actually hurt this is just a mental thing” you can do it too. I USED to have it to a degree with hot foods but I don’t eat em much now so I probably would have to relearn it
