At the end of the water one, the guy's head gets a little cut off by Chris' legs. It's right around when that girl walks between Chris' you see the top left corner go transparent. Bad editing job.
Part of the water one had to be crane work because when he is looking down at his feet, they dont spread when he puts them down as they would when they hit something solid.

oh shoosh leah, you act like you're some messiah and can recognize every trick before it's even presented, heh.

It's not so much that i'm "falling" for it, it's that i'm just curious as to how the hell he pulls it off.

Paid actors for the big stunts, stupid people for the "street magic" like card tricks.

Oh no, I'm not being a dick about it, I actually love street magic, not so impressed by the big stuff like disappearing elephants ( :rolleyes: ).

Some of them are impressive, but some you can tell that if you were sitting right there in front of him and had any resemblance of an IQ, you could tell where the switch was made.
There are a lot that he does that I am very impressed with, same with ol whatshisname....the breath holding guy....he has done some impressive street tricks.

David blaine.

I like how all of his "spectators" are New Orleans black people at the poverty level. Aside from that, the card trick where he makes the person pick a card, and then flicks the cards and the card ends up in the persons beer bottle, that was pretty wicked. It was a closed (cap on) beer bottle, at that.

That's him. He does a couple neat things.

While I was watching those videos, I clicked on a couple related videos. I saw one where they were in some shop and he made a lady pick a butterfly and he "tattooed" it on her by rubbing the butterfly on her skin.
The way he was rubbing, you could TELL there was just foundation covering up the lady's tattoo and he was rubbing it off. It affirmed that almost everyone he works with is in on his trick and plays it up for the tv show.

No need to be skeptical, you already know they are an ILLUSIONist :) You aready know it isnt real, so maybe that's not the word you want. I dont know what the correct one is either, I ad it but lost it while I was typing the rest of this out. Damn it.

Did you every see or know of that show, that's incredible?

If I recall it had a football qtr back, some other half-wit dude, and the "hotty" chic as the hosts.

One of the shows I saw was a dude catching a .22 in his teeth.

He would bite down hard on this firm plastic bit, looked like the kind of thing the dentist puts in your mouth when you get x-rays. Anyway, he'd bite down hard on this thing and then some other do would shoot the .22 rifle on a tripod right into the guys mouth.

And sure enough, he caught the bullet in his teeth. The one I saw actually chipped his tooth and he was bleeding but that was some real "magic" lol

Lets see blaine do THAT trick, then we don't have to worry about any more of his shit
