I watched David Blaine's special on ABC on couple of days ago and for a 2 hour special were the guy doesn't even get the record is pretty dissapointing.... and then he goes on to cry for the rest of the show cause he failed, like what the hell... he is the man for trying these stunts and pushing his body like that and his illusions are pretty killer as well just not to sure about the whole 2 hour special thing.... Comments?

i dig his street stuff, card tricks, etc.

but all of this crap he's been pulling lately just makes him look like an idiot and more HUMAN.

He's cocky. His card tricks are cool, but his "levitation" tricks would only fool morons. Basically I dont like his personality

Weirdo stunt artist = entertainment but I don't believe his illusions are real or he is doing anything extraordinary.

His illusions seem very good... even if he is kind of strange. But I prefer him over David Copperfield or those like David Copperfield.

Were any of his magic trick done live? All the ones i've seen, although they were on the streets, weren't live.

his street magic is awesome, but these stunts are ******.

and he doesnt use the old stand on one foot levitation ******, he does it a different way. in his videos people are standing all around him. i guess everyone could be a paid actor...

Grow up these are NOT tricks peoples. I do not believe in extra terrestrials but he seems to have these abilities. I have seen his show on the televisions and seen him guess someones cards without even doing anything besides looking at him earnestly. I KNOW magic is not real but he has extra sensories beyond other mere mans that allow him to do the feats he does that is the only way these feats are possible. If I was to go to battle and I could pick a weapons like a M16 or a Tank I would say give me David Blains.
