david blaine's street magic dvd was tight as fuck...it was hella funny when dood started levitating and deon sanders started freaking out and ran away...I didn't watch the whole thing tonite, but when he was holding his breath on evil kinevil's couch he looked like he was about to die

most of the time it looks like he angles himself correctly, then goes up on one of his toes, but keeps his heels straight...when they put the camera near his feet tho he actually went off the air, so I dunno....

Thats why its called magic cause its an illusion. Its not fake, its just a blend of different camera angles and also how the human perceives certain things. But some of the stuff that Chris Angel does, it is seriously mind boggling.
agreed

My dad and brother were watching some of the David Blanie thing on tv with our tivo and my brother noticed hella little tricks. They are just so good at it that it makes it nearly impossible to see what they are doing with the naked eye.

Real shit. Most these people are west coast.
what?? if you're talking about the time zones, it was supposed to be live. it said LIVE everywhere haha.

but yeah i tuned in like 5-10 min before it ended to watch 'what about brian' and dude looked like he was about to die hahah. i knew right away he didnt complete it and the announcer said that he did it for 7 MINUTES AND 8 SECONDS, which is still the longest ever. props to him though, pretty craaaaazy.


david blaine's a cool dude. i remember watching him on tv when i was like in elementary school, like 8-10 years ago. he was like now take a penny and put it under your pillow tonight and say the magic words of 'david blaine .... blahblahblah' and it'll turn into a dolllar tomorrow morning!! i got greedy and put like 3 pennies under my pillow and said the magic words but it didnt come true :( that bitch! hahahaah i bet the parents were supposed to be watching with the kids so that they can switch the penny into a dollar so that their kids can believe in magic.. heh

david blaine is the truth. hes got my full admiration and respect. that fool proves that if you can block out fear your brain is an amazing powerful muscle. the magic tricks he does are crazy (like the teeth one dude mentioned), but they are an illusion, but all that shit he does like being buried, frozen, drowned alive, sitting in a glass cube for 44 days. thats not magic or an illusion, but just straight mental power

the longest underwater breath hold is 8 minutes 58 seconds and blaine was going for 9 minutes. he failed. he was living underwater for longer than anyone ever had, which was 170some hours. the dude that set the 8min 58 sec record tried to break his own record and was only able to go 6 minutes the second time. i think where blaine failed was tryin to put on all those handcuffs and shit, he wasted too much energy and had to move around to open the cuffs instead of just going into his zone and holding his breath.

as for the free dive girl that died, she was almost 600 feet underwater i believe. that freediving shit is crazy. sometimes they just dive as far down as they can and come up but the girl that died was using a weight that pulled her down that far then they have to come up at a slow rate because if you are hundreds of feet underwater your lungs are sqeezed so small that if you just go to the surface hella fast then your lungs will burst
