Re: david blaine - drowned alive

A lot of ripping on David Blaine going on here. I never thought he was that bad....his magic tricks are fairly good. I think Chris Angel "The Mindfreak" is a way better target for nonsensical ass ripping.

couldn't agree more. Any clown can wrap a huge production with lights, music, and costumes around an obviously gimmicked piece of equipment that you'd never see anywhere but a magician's stage. The sleight of hand stuff Blaine does with everyday objects takes more talent, IMO.

At least he's stepping outside of the box a bit.

no, tell him to go back in the box.

Re: david blaine - drowned alive

Why don't people like him? Is it because he attempts things that people would never try in a million yrs?

I personally have never seen the guy, so I don't really understand....I have just noticed on a lot of forums people are bashing him

he is annoying

Re: david blaine - drowned alive

he's at Yale right now having his body studyed for the effects of staying underwater so long.

my prediction...... permanent shrinkage.

i was surprised to see that he was willing to put himself on display at the street level after the amount of tormenting he was put through while dangling in london.

In short, he's a magician... and the only other thing worse (imho) is a mime..

DQ, I must say its great having your subjective opinion around here. It seems to come natural for you to see the other side of things and not to bitch before thinking.

Not that trick again!!


I think he is pretty cool! Much better then Copperfield's cheese

Re: david blaine - drowned alive

I think the guy has a lot of talent. His dvds are really dope. Granted this may not be a magic trick per se but he's certainly showing how resilient the human body actually is and pushing it to new limits.

I don't get all the hate. If you don't like it. Don't talk about it.
Ignore it. Go watch paint dry/tv.

Re: david blaine - drowned alive

^^^ some people just need to complain for the sake of complaining unfortunately.


I actually went and looked up some stuff on this guy, and he does some pretty neat stunts. If I actually had cable, I would definately tune into some of the things he has done. Defying the odds is impressive/fascinating if you ask me

Re: david blaine - drowned alive

^ Yeah I don't have cable either but pick up one of his dvds, cheap used on amazon, or check him out on youtube.com. His sleight of hand tricks are insane. He also has a crazy interaction with people. Its cool to check out.

Re: david blaine - drowned alive

^^^ just may do that, thanks!

Re: david blaine - drowned alive

I love his magic acts/shows, I just cant stand the dumb week-long "I'm in a box and I can't get out" repetition that when it comes down to it, is rather boring...

Making names appear on objects without knowing them beforehand though, that is sumthin
