David Blaine’s first street magic special

David staring down strangers on the street.

At the time this came out, no one had seen anything like it. Some of the tricks seem pre-setup.

I used to love watching this as a kid but obviously knew it was fake it was still entertaining. Probably dated now though.

I say I don’t believe in guilty pleasures, but I guess David Blaine is mine. So predictable (he does a trick! people freak out!), but fun.

I liked this as a kid but can no longer recommend it in good faith.

Best close up magic you’ll see.

Some fun tricks.

What a tool - but still ok magic

Good only if you enjoy David Blaine.
