I am simply because nothing else is on.  I like his street magic though, his big stunts I could care less about.

trick needles?
Title: Re: David Blaine
Post by: OK_Cat on November 20, 2013, 10:44:22 AM
i just did a quick google search, and some magician sleuth says that he uses rubber cement to create a tunnel for the needle.

doesn't explain the "jabbing an ice pick in his hand" trick

My only thought was that he treated it like a piercing beforehand and let the tunnel heal.  Of course, he'd have to have medical help to avoid nerves and blood vessels, but I assume it can be done.

I watched it last night too! I loved his street magic shows and his endurance tests show he has an incredibly strong mind too.

Would like to have it ready for holiday season on the plaza.  Was thinking of doing that water/barf trick but with kamikaze shots and just shoot it all over into shot glasses

I watched it.  I really don't want to like david blaine because it seems like he takes himself way too seriously, but I did find myself  :D and  :horrorsurprise: through the entire show.  my best guess on the needle tricks are that at some point he had some sort of narrow tube implanted in his arm and hand that stretches from skin to skin and that's why you see him being so careful about putting it in.  I bet he wouldn't let you choose exactly where he puts that needle through.

the card tricks are pretty amazing.  harrison ford was hilarious.  I loved how he cut that orange open and was like.... :blank:..."get the eff out of my house."  :lol:

I finally watched the last tv special he did that's been on my dvr for months.  The shooting himself thing was dumb, but I need to know how to do all those magic tricks.

And when's Limestone doing his show?

Forgot Blaine's doing a show there.  Is he gonna shoot himself at that thing?

Need someone to do some investigatory #coverage and expose all his buckeyes.

LSOC, use this as a way to lock down what should and shouldn't be on your set list for FattyFest.
