[@psychvision101]

"My pants are gone" Wow that was some freaky patter.

[@atlnative8222]

How creepy is this guy holy hell

[@donfrankmagic6442]

Paul Harris was every magician's mentor back in the day. Including David Copperfield.

[@dantrixter]

I love the books art of astonishment ! But I don’t really know what to make of that ! Obviously cool tricks !

[@oldgit4260]

So deft and smooth

[@davidmartin8831]

dated patter BUT forever magic !!

[@dantrixter]

It’s made even more weird because the sound is out !

[@johnhein2539]

Cool to see you here, Dan. Still working on my Giant Killer Coin, your performance of that is great!

[@jonathonallwoodmagic9929]

This man magic with help me. See a new light and influence the magic that I like to he is like. 007 with in close up!

[@cherylmontebon]

These people in here complaining about this performance being "boring" know nothing about the art of magic. They keep comparing it to people like the overrated Criss Angel. This is no such thing as "magic" they are only tricks. So stop giving these bs people the God Complex.

[@ututheavenger]

can you prove there is no such thing as magic...first what is it?

[@Thurston86]

Wow i wonder when this came out a teaching video maybe

[@andybennett9127]

Mass.Shadows this was from a VHS series of performances only called All Stars of Magic

[@TimLee356]

[@kidbehindacamera1846]

[@TrackHustlersENT]

KidBehindACamera 1 i guess thats why theyre both better known for creating than performing. I cant lie tho, I fuck with paul harris

[@bxlawless100]

Purple weren't so mean to each other. You can't understand in this generation.

[@miked4377]

he is so uncomfortably un funny.....if he would cut out the stupid talk. ..and just do the magic......wow....

[@liberalguy513]

Paul Harris was never David Blaine's mentor.

[@TonyLey]

He kinda was/is along with Bill Kalush.

[@andybennett9127]

liberalguy513 no he was not. Their styles are totally different in that Harris is a "close up kinda guy" and would have made dry and droll jokes about Blaine were he performing in the same era

[@BlackMasterJoe89]

He was Blaine's creative director. I bought David's book "Mysterious Stranger" and he had a picture of him saying that he was his mentor too.

[@TonyLey]

Andy Bennett - Sorry for such a late reply. Blaine and Harris are actually very close. They created Blaine's persona in Northern California walking into bars and other places doing a lot of Paul's material and sort of tooling around with the idea of what a modern magician might be like (his whole "mysterious stranger" persona). Their styles are TOTALLY different but that doesn't mean that Paul's creativity and outside-the-box thinking when it came to technique and effect weren't a huge influence on Blaine. During my time living in San Jose and Santa Cruz, I met a lot of Paul's friends (never met Paul but always have wanted to so that I can thank him for all the amazing contributions he gave the art). Check out Paul and Blaine's effect Strange Travelers to see one of their collaborations.
