David Blaine is the ONLY magician I’ve ever known my entire life. Dude is for sure a legend. I didn’t know people didn’t know who he was, i feel old

I actually got to meet him in middle school. He came to do like a mini show in the auditorium. I didn’t get to go to the auditorium for the mini show. But thankfully, afterwards he went to different classrooms to do tricks. In my classroom, he did a generic take a kids watch without him looking trick, but then he went over to our turtle cage, picked one up and freaking swallowed it. All of us lost our minds. It was one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen. Then he coughed it back up, and put it back. We learned later that it was planned out earlier, and our teacher was in it. He actually brought his own turtle, and used slight of hand to act like he used our turtle. But this guy really swallowed a freaking turtle, and coughed it back up right in front of us. Some of the students were afraid to give him a high five before he left. That’s my only good memory from middle school.😅

His public failures are why he's huge. Knowing the artist will always succeed takes the joy and mystery away. With Blaine, you legitimately have no idea if he's staging or sincere. Since you'll never be able to read him, you'll always have mystery. And his failures prove some of his material isn't faked. This man figured out what makes magic special - the wonder - and made sure no matter how long you follow him, you'll always wonder.

Spoiler: there is no "secret truth." The video just talks about David Blaine for 25 minutes.

I'm older and remember magicians like David Copperfield. Blaine was the antithesis of all that excessive "show", just walking up to people and doing straight up awesome tricks.

[TommyGMcGee]

The feats of endurance that David Blaine has pulled throughout his career are mind blowing. A true legend.

Blane deserves to be respected, not just as a magician, but as a daredevil. His stunts weren't fast and explosive, but he's definitely put himself in death-defying danger.

One of the fun best stand-up acts ever, was when Chris rock said, "David Blane is a trickles magician. What he do? He stayed in a box and didn't eat. That's not magic! That's livin in the peojects"

Magic or no magic you gotta admire this man's patience

I've always been a big fan of David Blaine but he always seemed so sad to me, even as a child I could just sense something was off. Truly a unique and incredible talent.

Pat, that was beautiful; especially the end. I actually teared up. Lol event tho I’ve consistently heard this man’s name throughout various channels of media for majority of my life, I actually didn’t even know what David looked like bc I’ve never watched him. It’s so sweet that his daughter not only saved his life revived it entirely. She brought light back into his life; one look at his eyes and it’s clear.

A little personal story about David Blaine if I can. I had the opportunity to work with him for several weeks while he was becoming a hot air balloon pilot in preparation for his gas balloon adventure to 20, 000 feet. It was one of the memorable times in my life. He always carried a deck of cards with him and when we landed the hot air balloon in a neighborhood or we went to dinner he showed us card tricks. No cameras, no gimmicks, we were there only inches away from him. I am stil amazed. Anyway, we were talking about somebody who, actually, rode a hot air balloon on TOP of the balloon while in flight. Mr Blaine immediately asked if he could do that, no hesitation. Something like that is not done in a split second, but if it could be done he would have done it. Mr Blaine, I admire you and all you have accomplished. I don't know what goes on in your head, but I wish I had some of it. Good luck in all you do.

I saw him perform in Hollywood at the Dolby theatre and he held his breath in front of us as the final trick for some thing like eight or nine minutes. It was truly incredible. Afterwords sat on the edge of the stage and just talked to us in a way that felt like one on one. A truly gifted showman and an extremely curious fellow!
One of the best live performances I’ve ever seen.

"he thought a few hours passed, when in reality only a minute had passed" damn, this is me at work every day. Me and David have something in common.

[TikkiNikki]

Im so glad you're covering this dude!! I have said many times he would have beeen a pioneer in the social media age. His tricks were very much like what some people try emulating today (like that science dude on YouTube Red who locked himself in a small box for lile 3 days)

Edit: he also wouldve been the only prank channel I could stand 😂

[publicjeremynumberone]

He ended up seated next to me at a poetry reading. Super chill energy. Very likable dude

[lefromthecity]

Seeing him in the end with his daughter made me unexpectedly emotional, I grew up watching him…every few years he’d pop up with another insane concept that I assumed he was a “tortured artist” type that would pass away by one of his stunts.
So to see him look so happy and have more purpose got a tear out of me lol.

[RhetoricWolf]

I appreciate how much effort you put into these videos man. Keep up the great work and thanks!

[paulevans]

David Blaine is a legend. The fact he’s still alive is amazing.

[DerLohse]

Landed here by accident - and I am glad I did. Great video with tons of info I had no idea about <3
