David Blaine on Jonathan Ross 2002 (22 November 2002)

[@jbang7706]

"I've been working on holding my breath, right now I'm up to like 3 1/2 minutes." Six years later sets the world record at 17 minutes.

[@ditokelio7860]

Different record i believe. The 17 was with pure o2 or smthin like that

[@ItsNessaTho]

@@ditokelio7860 he did it without pure o2 up to 7 minutes and about 30 seconds so that's still really impressive

[@plushtine]

Wow he really has been practicing this trick since forever.

[@faash41]

I know it's 2002 but the footage looks like it's from the 70's

[@BewilderedBird]

This looks way older than 2002. Holy shit, looks like from the 80's, even the hairstyles and everything. 2002 was not that long ago.

[@ElMagoRob]

jonathan still has the same stupid haircut because hes english many people have that look and this is a vhs recording that wasnt uploaded until a decade later, vhs tapes wear off easily.

[@nenabunena]

The very closed cropped hair was popular in the 90s & 00s. Also good shirt is without much color and the style is of that period. 80s was all big hair, big clothes, and bright neon colors which is the opposite of what Blaine looks like here

[@Hussein4081]

John Harwood except James May 😂

[@TheRafaelBond]

there are other 2002 videos like from the 2002 World Cup and German Commentators and its HD and looks really up to date. Quality makes the most difference.

[@johnmyer4010]

Well now 2043 is closer than 2002

[@freemind222]

David is socially awkward, that's what makes him seem so unusual and I don't think it's an act. He talks about his childhood and he seems to have been on his own alot from what he's said. I admire the guy overcoming his awkwardness using magic.

[@goldenarmy4life]

+freemind222 hes cool as fuck

[@goldenarmy4life]

+freemind222 hes cool as fuck

[@quentinsummers2531]

freemind222 it's also his act, becouse he went to acting school to improve his own style

[@TheRafaelBond]

I dont think he's that socially awkward. He's in his own a lot and doesn't need much social conversation for sure (and he does start interviews super awkwardly going immediately to the trick), but nowadays first and foremost he's cool as fuck. Definitely overcame any deficincies.

[@KevinPaul444]

I just think that's the way he views the world - David sees the world differently than we do, I don't think he seems awkward maybe a little different and more calm like a lower frequency but not awkward.

[@miamimagicians]

One of the best most masculine magicians ever

[@georgekurioreilly4857]

do you get notifcations? do you remember watching this video?

[@Jougi_Baba]

@@georgekurioreilly4857 lmfao brah

[@malakmohsin5603]

Plus to being a magician hes also a professional endurance artist thats why

[@vbeis0]

Lol i wrote my birthday on the search bar (22 november 2002)... and i get david blaine, my favorite magician! and im a magician too :)

[@garypayne6174]

Lukas Cohen its magic

[@Yagirlnyesha]

I love this man

[@jimmiedee2315]

I'd never seen Jonathan Ross before. He's hilarious!

[@akbararain77]

Hes so handsome

[@Asgoodasitgets146]

absolute legend

[@ajg589]

As I've been saying for many years now: "David Blaine, is Literally a better magician than Houdini!"

[@alexhetherington8028]

I would call them equal about half the stuff David does is stuff that Houdini did.

[@Yagirlnyesha]

@@alexhetherington8028 but David does it bigger and better. Houdini could never.

[@amiriqbal9487]

Wow I never knew David did the needle trick back then I wonder how I’ve never seen this

[@ericshoff6326]

Why is David Blaine always falling asleep as he's talking

[@lynnmka]

why does every 2001-2003 interview on youtube looks liek it was recorded in the 80s

[@lynnmka]

@@Theponderpond ohhh i see makes sense

[@ehrinn2009]

He did this on his latest tv show!!

[@ThinTheHerd78]

As a Yank, I wove Jonathan Woss.

[@wengeristhegreatestmanager5052]

Jonathos ross is funny af😂

[@Stephanie88Dragon]

holysmokes, didn't know Enrique's in there too.

[@CoCre8ors]

I wanna see the man dynamite interview too!!!

[@deadneutral]

that heicopter iron shoe stuff never happened :( ?

[@TheRplatts]

This is 2002? Looks like 80s 😂

[@Yagirlnyesha]

Right 💀💀

[@amiriqbal9487]

David fully intended on doing the stunt but there was countless amount of obstacles stopping him from doing it. Everyone told him it would kill him and ABC said they wouldn’t support it.

[@sootycowboy2]

Did he do that Thames Dive escape trick?

[@greenkitty82]

+JHmagic1 I wonder why he didn't and instead did the starvation for 60 days in the box. I was fortunate enough to see him do it in London back then.

[@djmaleda]

+greenkitty82 Yea when people were teasing him with burgers attached to toy helicopters smh

[@didactic318]

Probably because he realized in training that it'd kill him.

[@GuiltyBystander8]

You really don't have a clue do you? I am very intrigued why I am looking worse and worse and why I should give up (which makes no sense). Please make me another list, I can't wait for your reply.

[@emmanuelhyacinthe4361]

i love magic

[@sherazahmad5232]

Yo was that Enrique Iglesias? Holy jumping shit.

[@marka112]

He went from a needle to a chisel going through his hand

[@ItsNessaTho]

And now it's through his arm lol

[@RPKGameVids]

Wow, wook how woung woss wooks!

[@Despond]

Did anyone solve it and get the 100k?

[@bluesoda025]

Yes someone solved it in 2004

[@KevinColt]

Is this the tv quality of 2002?? i dont think so.

[@oldgit4260]

That jumpy fucking picture

[@Ruairi670]

I wonder if the 100,000 dollars is still there....

[@Ruairi670]

Damn it, well i wont need this fedora, whip and satchel then..

[@saucemagic]

Someone cracked the code in 2004

[@MartisGTR]

0:34 "Mr David Blind" LOL

[@slickstarzy]

guys looks and sounds like his voice is putting his face to sleep!

[@GuiltyBystander8]

Hahahaha. Are you serious mate, how can anyone look worse on the internet? What?! How does that even work. Please explain me that, and give me another list, you forgot it the last time.

[@SamoanObsidian]

At first I thought the host was a bit halrious. But then I got a bit cringy because now, he wasn't getting funny to me, but rude. BTW, Blaine is as fyne as Jason Momoa 😋😍

[@VeronicaLopez-ly8sw]

He's a human aquarium. He's got frogs and fishes just living inside him

[@3rdgroove]

@@VeronicaLopez-ly8sw not back then... maybe it has something to do with the needle/ice pick trick?

[@spookyencounters9392]

When's human gets nervous their mouth gets dryer. Fact. Glasses of water are always laid out gor vast show guests. He was thirsty. 😐

[@elloco2690]

He is awkward lol

[@love404.]
