My encounter with David Blaine (True Story)

[@oseverything5413]

I met David Blaine once on a plane. I'm the only magician in my family and I recognized him. He was in first class practicing magic with his playing cards, and I said hi to him and he said he'd meet me later. After takeoff he walked to the last row in the plane, which we were in, and performed a magic trick for us and took a photo. He was really nice and not awkward like in this video.

[@chinmay9702]

He's not awkward in his videos What's wrong with u

[@oseverything5413]

hola in this video from Chris Ramsay specifically, Chris says that David is awkward. I didn’t say that David was in all of his videos

[@moneyatslander]

Hey, that doesn't fit Chris' fanboy video here. Please buy Chris' shit cards.

[@joshuasmith6346]

That would mean blaine carries a frog in his pocket wherever he goes

[@ryaneng2212]

I also met David Blaine once in the Miami airport. He was performing magic for a kid and a security guard, and I looked over, and said to my friend, "doesn't that look like an overweight David Blaine to you?" After he was finished with his trick, I went over, and said i'm a fan, and would love a picture. He took a picture with me, and then I asked him if I could buy him a drink when our flight landed. He texted me his number and said he'd love to get drinks with us. He ended up on the plane pretty close to my friend, who told me he just slept for the whole flight. I texted him for drinks after we landed, and he never responded. I think it was a fake phone number that he uses for fans, even though his initial text to me worked.

[@ChrisRamsay52]

He stole my font...

@@sidh196 My comment was on the percieved behavior. Ive seen that behavior pattern in multiple people. Social anxiety, not enchanters. Yet instead of shying away, they act randomly, they do things to *shock* people. An they put up a facade of flaunting themselves. I dont know this magician. However ive known more than 1 person with this pattern of behavior. Its a more uncommon form of social anxiety. Its like someone who is trying to break out of the anxiety, but is stuck in it regardless. The imbalance blacks them from being social enchanters. Yet theyre not exactly sinking into themselves either. Hard to explain. Easy to observe. My ass would have let him run off.

David Blaine, one of the most humble and approachable celebrities I ever met, we said hello to him. me and my young son, in a theater in New York City as we went to see SpongeBob. My son recognized him. David took the time to stop and crouched down to my young son's height, so that he could be as tall as my young son. Then David started to have a one on one conversation with my son, shaking his hand, asking him questions about his name, how old he was, what he liked, etc...and asking him if he was going to see Sponged -Bob as well, my son responded yes, so David gave him his SpongeBob's movie tickets, telling my son to enjoy the movie etc...So David just gave us his movie tickets when he could have just said "hello". I know David performs amazing magic tricks but that was quite an amazing humility trick. A real cool classy guy. His success is so well deserved for many years of hard work perfecting his craft. Thanks David, cause for my son and I, you added an extra special note to our movie going afternoon that day.

[@manniefaces]

Sounds like he could be on the spectrum.

[@grayskindablue]

manniefaces The more interviews or stories like this I see of him the more I think he’s on the spectrum. I have Asperger’s (I know, not technically a diagnosis anymore, and no, it doesn’t qualify me to figure out who else is before people jump at me.) But with the way he misses social cues and sarcasm, it makes sense to me. He does a lot of smiling/laughing after the interviewer or another person does which is pretty typical, copying reactions becomes almost instinctive if you can’t pick up the emotions or tone of something. Also “special interests” are really common with Asperger’s/autism. I have a few but they tend to cycle. They’re different than just a hobby, or even a passion since they can easily border obsessive (and OCD is a common co-morbid of autism, like anxiety and ADHD.) So if magic is a really meaningful thing to him, and he wants to always know every single detail about exactly how every aspect of it works, and surround himself with it completely, to a sometimes obsessive point, it doesn’t surprise me at all he’s incredible at what he does. I’d actually be way more surprised by somebody who was neurotypical, but had that level of passion and focus on just one thing, and also just happened to be socially awkward.

I have an amazing David Blaine story!!!! A couple weeks ago on June 7, 2017 I went and saw one of David Blaine's shows on his tour in Spokane, Washington. My family and I made it in Spokane, but we had missed a turn so we had to take a detour. We stopped at a four way stop, and out of the corner of my eye I saw David Blaine get into a Jaguar. My mom who was driving tailed the Jaguar until it pulled over. We saw David Blaine get out of the Jaguar so I get out and I said "Hey" David peers over his shoulder to look at me and he says "hello." Then I said shyly "I am big fan of your work," and David says "thank you" and I give him a light fist bump. I asked if he would like to sign one of my cards, he says that he would be right back to put his stuff away in his tour bus. David Blaine comes back and he took the ace of spades from my deck and he signs To Spencer Elvis and his signature. He asked if I had a camera on my phone if I wanted to pose for pictures, but I had forgotten my phone, and David Blaine replies in his soothing voice "Well Shit" as if he was surprised that I am one of the few teenagers who isn't attached to their phone, but my mom was taking pictures of the event in the distance. And I said "thank you" and I saw David Blaine walking back to his tour bus. That is the story of how I met David Blaine.

[@bcon117]

In my experience, people like Blaine, (showman / socially awkward since birth), behave like this as a form of control, not just of his audience but also himself. You'll know what I mean if you watch his talk show appearances, because of the contrast between him, the host and the crowd. He speaks and moves in a way which makes you wait with bated breath for the most insignificant thing, like a simple conversation in an elevator. This sets the tone he needs to perform, or speak, but also allows him to slowly and carefully execute his move without trying to keep up with everyone else's erratic nature. More simply, if you act like slow and serious, people pause for you.

David probably said to his friends: "Look I'm gonna do a trick! I'm gonna make those guys dissappear!" 😂

[@adama6440]

Lmfao omg i love your videos! You set the awkward mood on the impressions reminds me of a Dave Chappelle episode. This is why i been a fan of your content Chris for awhile!

[@jamesmahany5670]

Hey man. I'm from new york but I'm visiting Iceland right now. I knew that I couldn't miss your video. So I drove to a place where I could find some free wifi (which is hard to find in iceland) and I'm watching your video outside the coffee shop haha. Sounds like a pretty crazy experience.

[@jamesmahany5670]

Woo! He saw it. Ok I'm going to go fanboy at a glacier now. Btw. I showed flirt to a German girl at the airport Chris. You were right it gets the girls....maybe...kinda.

[@creanjinsung]

And I thought David Blaine's persona on his performances and specials was just for show.

[@AryanSharma-gm4cv]

I just watched this video for the 7th time and it still makes me laugh. You're great dude!!

[@honureef6185]

When I was a kid at one of his shows I got to ask him a question and I was thinking about the question which was how many tricks do you know but when I asked him I said how many questions do you know luckily I corrected it but it was extremely embarrassing and the whole auditorium laughed at me lol.

[@tvd-theremedy2515]

This story is more epic and amazing than it could’ve possibly been had it played out ANY OTHER WAY lol. I obviously don’t know David Blaine, but your imitations of him just look like they’d be PERFECT haha. I can definitely picture that weirdo when you do his parts lol. Good stuff, as always. I’m glad I came across this channel. This is ALWAYS some good sh!t.

[@therealjigsawjp]

What was daniel madison doing while y'all were watching the same scene? I need to know! 😂🤣😂👐

[@dustingrimmmagic1067]

Jordan Purol probably thinking "i am daniel madison and this Video would be cooler in Black and White.."

[@therealjigsawjp]

DustinGrimm Magic 😂😘😂lmao

[@PavlosGavras]

Jordan Purol he was like...im daniel madison who the fuck are u?

[@graff5274]

And then he randomly just fell straight down on the floor...

[@julio-pr8oh]

I am Daniel Madison and what the fuck happened

[@Hellsiepwn]

Sounds like he just wanted you to leave, but didn't want to ask you to. So he literally just dumped you at a random restaurant and got an uber back to his condo.

[@paulrobinson5492]

I heard about you in the book Magic Is Dead--neat book. I have to say you are a master storyteller. Great story, made me laugh--you have that magical quality of charisma. I'll keep watching.

[@mbenandrews]

This story was EPIC, the cut scenes, the impressions, perfect. Kind of like of Bill Murry will steel people's food in restaurants just to weird them out and give the a truly great story to tell!

[@ICKY427]

this is why i stay home watching youtube videos. this was much more entertaining than actually going out and having awkward moments with strangers and spending a lot of money on drinks.

[@wehiird]

Especially nowadays

[@therealjigsawjp]

This is funny af. I still can't stop laughing.

[@temuujinkhezu455]

Wanna be

[@wijny4222]

dude this is one of the most weirdest stories i've ever heard ^^ maybe all these stunts he performed did have an effect on him :D greetings from switzerland :)

[@levanielmidoriya5701]

Feel like he maybe wanted to see how far he could take this bit

[@callmeaurelius]

I've known two people who have met David and the both in their own way have shared the awkward experience that is David Blaine. He doesn't talk much, kinda mumbles, only says like 4 words at a time, and doesn't carry conversation, ever. It was described as being with someone who appears to always be thinking but doesn't want to tell you what is on their mind.

[@jlindien8972]

Thanks for making me spit my soup on the screen. I love that editing. You've got a new sub.

[@dalerevoprendela]

I'm crazy to know what you think about the David Blain interview with Joe Rogan!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@MrEmagicman]

I was doing pretty good the whole video, but I lost it when you had to chase him! My week won't get better than this

[@brosyphiousfitness3104]

Shows how committed he is to not only magic but making good footage also

[@knuckle12356]

That WAS an amazing story. And your impression of David is on point!! xD

[@sldrckofages7200]

LOL....THIS video is one of my favorite one you've posted. You make trying to solve insane puzzles look interesting, when I know that I wouldn't last even five minutes before I chucked even the simplest of puzzles down a flight of stairs, but you have a great talent for telling stories and editing video to make your awkward life experiences absolutely enjoyable. I'm already looking forward to seeing your next video on my list. Thanks for sharing a bit of your life Mr. Chris.

[@jasonsilbermanmagic]

This felt like a very trippy dream

[@captainvoluntaryistthestat3207]

David met Chris again and was like "oh you again...aight ama head out." 🎈🎈ascension🎈🎈

[@sc239]

Haha its like when an old school friend you havent seen for years drops by for a catchup mid week but you got work in the morning... Newsflash he was busy and you guys were unwanted guests, he probably dropped mad hints that it wasnt a good time but yall just didnt get it. So yall gave him no choice but to take you to the closest bar and ditch you. What did you expect him to do? Drop everything he is doing and take you out partying?

[@joey19xx73]

You're an idiot. David was trolling chris. Hes done that persona as an act and sometimes does it per request of his friends to fuck with ppl. DB is nothing like this irl.

[@scottycranwell283]

By far one of THE best stories ever told. No sarcasm. Loved it.

[@PLAYIN_247]

Story well told. Sometimes it’s about the teller not the story. The awkward looking back at the screen watching the frog bit over and over hahahahaha Hahahah

[@porridgesilt]

Hey Chris. Somehow KZbin’s wacky algorithms sent me one of your puzzle solving videos a couple days ago, which I watched and enjoyed thoroughly. Loved it so much that I subscribed the minute it ended and I have spent the last few days watching all kinds of videos from your channel, including this hilarious one. You seem like a down to earth guy with great wit and personality - perfect for this type of platform. Thanks for the putting the time and effort into these videos. They are a great source of entertainment for a new fan like me. Cheers, man!

[@jayden8636]

I'd love if somehow David Blaine commented on this video

[@andyfieldmagic]

Would have "hopped" it after watching frog video just once.

[@hermite2010]

Wow, I have not laughed this hard in a while, thank you. Your story telling is superb and the DB impression was spot on. Well played.

[@ravanaorama]

Wow...this story is epic man. If it had been the way you expected it to be then it wouldn't have been this nice. This is gold.

[@childish_tito]

David was probably on a new strain of weed and forgot he had company 😂

[@theoryofthemobius]

He pulled an Andy Kaufman on you. He was testing the limits of your mental endurance.

[@voteZDLR]

That's how editing works anywhere lol you were invited to an editing session, it doesn't matter if they're editing magic tricks or the newest episode of Game of Thrones, editing probably takes the longest of anything because the only way to know is to try things... 73 times, as you said.

[@coma13794]

except you don't need to re-watch the entire 2 1/2 minute piece each time you change the intro/outro.

[@ToxicatedLum]

No its not..... he got trolled

[@ericburnett8163]

Just came back to this after watching David Blaine's new special. This is still one of my favorite stories and videos on your channel

[@aditya1256]

That was hilarious. Ha ha ha. You should do more of these. The person you meet could be anyone, doesn't matter!!

[@TheOzflyer]

No, that was the best David Blaine meeting story I’ve heard, not that I’ve heard many, but the weirdness is what made it cool, sort of glad it was you and not me! 😀

[@SonnyGreenwichJr]

This story reminds me of the time I met Chris Ramsay... ☘️☮️🤘🏽🤠👍🏽☮️☘️

[@breezly1015]

It's a shame that David didn't offer you any of the epic drugs he was taking 😂

[@eclecticcerebro8287]

A magician never gives away his secret!

[@MrSethWarner]

David strikes me as a purist. From everything he puts into his body to his magic. I'd really be surprised if he actually ever even tried drugs.

[@kidthorazine]

@@MrSethWarner Dudes openly talked about being a recovering heroin addict... PS: Don't do heroin kids.

[@SpydersByte]

@@kidthorazine really? Doesn't really surprise me, I've been around enough opiate addicts to see Blaine's deadeye stare and slow, monotonous voice as pretty par for the course.

[@DbladeMedic]

@@SpydersByte yea i am an opiate addict sober since 10/24/2016 and sometimes people tell me my face is literally just a blank expression i dont even realize it

[@alutious]

OMG that was so funny. Thanks so much for sharing. Told and edited prefectly. Made me laugh, especially the font because of my background. Not being a magician...but... having worked with fonts for quite some time (aka the more traditional label: typefaces) and with a company that invented some of the most commonly used typefaces for over 100 years (Times Roman)... I can clear up one of your questions for you. The answer you gave in a delayed fashion was close enough. For the next time this happens to you, my answer would have been ... Tragic. That's all i got. "What do you say to that". Oh that was so funny.

[@tgunzz3790]

This was gold. I think we need a magic infused stand up comedy bit from you.
