notice how they always use wacky ass camera angles when they do that stuff. They never actually show you whats going on just the peoples reactions.

Yes, his card tricks and slight of hands are pretty cool. But those are standard card tricks, lots of magicians know them.

I have "Street Magic Revealed" from Fox on my Tivo. I love watching it after watching David Blaine. Interesting stuff.

David Blaine best trick is nailing supermodels. Now that's magic.

Exactly, if you can't do what he does, then you have no room to say he sucks.

Anyone can do it There's nothing amazing about it especially after reading this:

On David Blaine's television special the camera view that shows him rising a good foot off the ground, but does not show the audience as he added some other enhancements to it. It is believed that David Blaine used some props to help him rise as much as he did such as a bar attached to a pivot like a seesaw. The end of the pivot would have had a hook which clipped onto a harness that he could attach to his belt. One cannot be sure however, as Mr. Blaine has yet to truly reveal everything about it. The Balducci levitation is clearly explained on various videos that can be purchased right here online.

his levitation trick is that one-foot-behind-the-other trick, but they cut in some studio levitation shots using wires and such to make it look more pronounced.

He just uses tried and true street magic. Nothing new. He's competent. Let's just say that.

Me and my friends had plans of trying that store window trick at the school's coffee shop. It was the perfect place for it because it had nice sized windows. Never got the guts to actually do it!
