I met David Blain at a hooters 15 min from my house.. I went up to him and asked him a minute of his time.. and all he said was… … … he didn’t say anything, he just stared into my soul

[philosopheering]

Total respect to David Blaine, not only for the courage and perseverance, but to care enough for his daughter, to stop doing stunts with lethal risks.

He was like the coolest dude on the planet when I was younger. His street magic was so addicting I still watch it 20 years later. He was like my idol growing up.

[sheltongolden]

Dude, the production value of this video is fantastic. Very well done. I was riveted from beginning to end.

[indiesongwriter]

When Blaine said that watching his mother endure cancer and seeing her find beauty in it, made me cry. I feel like his backstory makes him make so much more sense to me. He's a beautiful soul and I believe he's the greatest magician of all time

[peetiegonzalez]

David Blaine and Derren Brown are the two most legendary "mixed magic artists" of my time. In very different ways, but for good reason. They both push the boundary between illusion and insane real skill in a way which is generally unmatched.

[mrjamestiu]

I love how despite of this outside character, he's actually a very loving son to his mom and dad to his daughter. Also, great video bro. This is the first time I came across your vids and I think you deserve more subscribers. Keep it up! 🎉

[fritzyberger]

I like his endurance tests more than the true magics. It is cool that he is volunteering to be a test subject for the extremes of human limitations

[biosec]

David Blaine is why I learned so many card and magic tricks as a kid. He has always come across as a real down to earth person who wants to entertain people.

[philosophik]

You could tell his mom saying "amazing!" when he was a kid and he told her he was going to be a magician had a huge impact on his success.

[bloodswarms]

You deserve way, way more subscribers. I've watched a few of your videos tonight, and you're killing it.

[sfdntk]

Fantastic video mate, you perfectly summed up exactly how influential and important David Blaine has been to the art of modern magic.

[princequestly]

He’s the greatest, no one else even comes close. the sheer amount of completely death defying stunts alone puts him in his own category.

[rudrashankar]

man your content production value is insane absolute respect sir

[famemontana]

Exactly that last sentence said it all. The only thing that matters is that we are entertained. He loves what he does and we love to watch him do it

[Dana__black]

I don’t need to finish this video. David is a legend

[edisonlux]

Excellent editing style / pacing . The deliberateness of the intercuts between you and the running narrative are premium.

David Blaine is awesome! Glad to have lived to experience the impact he has had on millions! Thank you DB!

[lunastar]

DAVID BLAIN IS THE BEST!!! I WAS CRYING AND WORRIED MUCH WHEN HE DID THAT GUN SHOT¡!! I COVERED MY EYES!!! BUT I'VE ALLWAYS LOVED HIM SINCE THE VERY BEGINING!! Like when he would walk down the street and ask a woman a question and read her mind then she would tear up. And all the times he would do his magic it was so fascinating!!! He is so real! God bless him❤❤❤❤❤❤❤also ALL of his displays of endurance is so encouraging for living your own life!!! Have an attitude of gratitude ❤😊

[CARLGULA]

Absolutely phenomenal video! Seriously, well done. The editing and that way you walked the audience through the video was fantastic. Keep up the good work ✌️
