Magician Reacts to DAVID BLAINE's Oldest Videos!! (Magic Spoilers)

[@ARUCARDFTEPES]

Even Penn Jillette said "Street Magic" changed everything, showing the reactions more than the effect itself pumped it up. Close up magic became the shit, and serious sleight of hand was suddenly more impressive than choreographed stage shows. To do the impossible right under your nose is so much better than distracting you with strippers and lighting effects.

[@j.d.heiney6868]

Perfectly stated! I never really liked theatrical stage magic much because even though you may not know how it’s done, you still know that it’s just a trick and that it’s all smoke and mirrors. David Blaine changed all that with Street magic. It was in your face and undeniable. Just pure magic. Not only did you not know how it was done, your mind couldn’t fathom how it would even be possible. David Blaine restored a love for magic that I had as a child but lost as I got older. After seeing his first special I immediately wanted to do magic again.

[@trinidad17]

And to boot many of David Blaine tricks in Street Magic weren't that fancy, so you had plenty of angry magicians complaining that "he does the bitten coin, it's so lame!" instead of capitalizing on Blaine's popularization of magic, and even upping up their own game.

[@rylch44]

Hearing you say you started by reverse engineering David's tricks is what got you started brought back memories. I started the same way. I used to play poker a lot as a kid before it was big on TV. I moved to another town/city to go to college and had recorded David Blane's Street Magic special on my VCR. Watched that tape a ton. I started by reverse engineering the red string trick he did to the old man on the bench with no words. Then I figured out how he did the trick to Emmitt Smith with the queens to aces. I started doing these tricks for patients in the hospital as a Certified Nurses Assistant. That's when the love kicked in. I'm currently a nurse and still randomly amazing patients while they're sick in the hospital. Thanks for sharing your love on KZbin man. I love your channel.

Fun Fact: David badly cut his little finger when he stabbed the card. His hand slid down the knife and it cut the tendon. To this day he still can't bend his little finger as much anymore.

Chris, THANK YOU so much for this video. I’m close enough to the younger generation (I’m 24) already, but I was raised right! I have an old magic kit that my mom bought me when I was in elementary school and there’s an OLD DAVID BLAINE VHS TAPE that she recorded from live tv for me on it. I don’t do magic now, but I absolutely adored it as a kid and the video brought back so many memories.

[@MaximePoirier]

He cuts his little finger at 7:52 , He can't close totally his finger even today. I saw an interview of him saying that. He just continues the tricks like nothing happen. THIS is a real performer! It hurts me now every time I watch this clip haha!

[@erinbarger3822]

Oh my gosh! This brought me back to my beginnings also. I had not realized the younger gen didn’t idolize Blaine until you brought it up but it makes sense. You were also an equal idol for me and brought me back into magic because yo taught me how to perform the amazing tricks he was performing. I put you in a similar classification as Blaine when it comes to artists that transformed my future. I can’t thank you enough!

[@HomeGrownKicks]

I never thought about the new generation not knowing David Blaine he got me into magic, Penn and Teller and lastly Chris Angel but David definitely sparked my enthusiasm. I remember on live TV when he incased in a block of ice and when he was inside of like a tank of water things like that as a kid were amazing.

[@ryanburkett949]

Penn once said in an interview that he thinks Street Magic it the best magic film ever made. When asked about Chris Angel he simply replied: "He isn't a magician." Chris Angel uses fake paid full audiences and also steals other peoples tricks and then sues them into not being able to perform the magic they invented. I very much dislike Chris Angel. Blaine and Penn and Teller are awesome though. Except for Blaine's bullet catch I hated that.

I’m with you man. Before Blaine for me it was Copperfield. Then when Blaine came along with his first special street magic that’s what did it for me. This is before the Internet so I had to wait until the next time he dropped a special on network TV to see what amazing stuff he next had planned. Got a chance to see his touring theater show and meet him in person afterwards. He even signed a deck of cards I brought. We talked US Playing card co. shop for a little bit (i’m from Cincinnati and that is where it was based.) So down to earth and such a genuine guy.

Introducing a camera at all, really fucks things up for me. Like, even if you don’t use any camera tricks, stooges, or cheesy editing, I don’t know how impressed to be by any one trick.

[@sydhamelin1265]

The biggest problem about getting caught lying about editing, and lying about not using plants, is that you lose the trust of the audience. Using plants and editing you can do anything without much creativity. Check this out: Me: "pick a number between 1 and infinity" Plant 1: 5,621,023,814,403,415 Me: "haha, wow, ok, slow down, I'm writing it down. that's 5,621,023,814,403,415?" Plant: "yes" Me: "Ok...now I have to find that number somewhere...sir, pull out your wallet. take out a random credit card." Plant 2: "haha, wow, ok, um here?" Me: "check this out, the numbers match."

[@OhanaFilms]

@@sydhamelin1265 Exactly. After learning he used editing to augment his levitations on his first special I never trusted anything he did again. If I see a magician live, I know I'm being lied to but the deception is done through masterful manipulation. That's the fun of it. It allows you to think "this magician actually has magical powers" even though you KNOW it's just a trick. Maybe David Blaine really did freeze himself and hold his breath that long but there's nothing fun about it when you just can't trust it.

[@mrdabeetle1]

His illusions are mostly just the simplest tricks of palming or line of sight. The chicken is just the "watch me pull my thumb apart" trick but with a prop. If he ever hands you an icepick to inspect, ask him if you can borrow a Sharpie and watch his reaction. He's so much better at misdirection than anyone I've ever seen. He is so much better at preparing the audience to be dumbfounded than anyone I've ever seen. I wish he would show how his old illusions are done so people would realize how easily they were fooled by something so simple. Knowing how he did what he did doesn't ruin the magic for me, it just makes it more impressive and I wish he would share that with people. He takes the oldest simplest premise for tricks that kids do and turns them into "an unbelievable feat". Teller does a bit of the same type of misdirection, but Blaine is so much better at it.

Don't compare David Blaine to Mr beast... thats just an insult to David.

[@techfreak111]

I remember growing up we got a copy of David Blaine Street Magic from like a $5 walmart bin, and that started my love of magic! Can't tell you how many times I watched that!

[@jaunusender6166]

Legit cops when they were legit. Side note: It's included in the legality of a cop being out of uniform on patrol. Yes, even a shoe.

[@alondraguerrero4173]

[@crashboredom2]

When i first saw david blaine do his version of the Ambitious Card routine, thats when i fell in love with card tricks. And to this day, thats still my favorite routine.

[@huntercoleman9009]
