Re: magic
since the fall of the russian empire, KGB secrets have been leaking out into our cable TV. There was supposed footage of a recovered UFO. But pertaining to this subject there was their studies on psychic powers. They had this one lady who stopped the heart of a mouse with her mind. I forget most of the show, but they went as far as to send psychics to polterguise hautings in order to see if they could recruit them for espionoge. But weirdest of all, the great david blaine brought a pigion back to life.
Of course this pigon was trained to play dead untill david spoke the magic words.

That's not the only way to get money from magic.

Re: magic
get the tivo out, and analize this magician the only way possiable. Frame by frame.
They don't try to hide much when they are filming, and the audience sees what the camera doesn't show. Yet they believe.

Re: magic
To bring back pigeons to life isnt difficult, if you have some pigeons just tuck there head under there wing and they will freeze and hold that position until you flick there head so they can see again, one of the oldest trick ever magicians use this way to tuck several pigeons inside their cloths and then make them magicly appear out of nowhere.

Re: magic
A lot of David Blaine's tricks can be bought online. In highschool I had a large collection of trick decks and all that... One of my favorites was the one where the subject names a card, the magician pulls out a pack of cards and every card but the one the person chose is blank.

I have studied magic, my family has, I've been to the Magic Castle in Los Angeles plenty of times and have family members who are members of the club. (The Magic Castle is an exclusive club of illusionists including David Copperfield etc.)
David Blaine is I'm sure (though i've not heard any heresay or anything from the horses mouth) an effective illusionist who also happens to know how to market himself incredibly well. Many of the illusions I've seen him perform you can buy in any magic store for about 5 bucks, but he markets himself well.
All magic is a hoax, they're called illusions for a reason and David Blaine is no different than any other.

Father's an illusionst, member of magic castle in LA. The move you're talking about is called a force and it's used requently in illusions. There's no mind reading or demonic forces involved, you simply use slight of hand to prevent someone from taking any other card than what you want. When done well to a person who isn't a trained observer/practicioner it's extremely hard to detect.
As for tyra banks' statement about the illusion.... well i'll just leave it at that.
~~~For anybody who wants to do this kind of stuff just go into a magic shop and aks for a svengali deck or something like that. You'll be amazed at how incredibly simple the stuff is once you learn it. The art is in the hand movement though, not the technical prowess of the design of the tricks. Simple (mostly until you get to advanced stuff) in concept, difficult to carry out.

Re: magic
it's entertainment, they would probably gladly admit to it.
As for the Russian leaked secrets, brought to us by US cable networks, heheh, call me sceptic but they're not exactly a bedrock of truth and traditional reporting standards....

Re: magic
blain has no "super powers" he is jsut a guy that was into card tricks as a kid and realised that he could market him self as some demonic creepy guy cause well he looks the part. If I could I would do the same but I look way to innocent for that. so I will stick with playing my self off as a really innocent guy who is accutally evil
sadly blain has proved that most of america will beleive any thing they see on TV.
