David Blaine: Street Magician

This dude is a David Blaine type street magician.
I saw David bite a quarter in half and then blow it back together. I bought a similar quarter at a magic shop.
I can do Blaine's 2 inch levitation but do not have the gimmicks or people to help do the 2-3 foot levitations.
He stopped a person on the street and showed him a dead fly on a window ledge. He said he'd bring it to life. And he did. He blew gently on the fly and it started moving and eventually flew away. Of course the street person did not know this fly was just recently removed from a freezer and placed on the sill.
Blaine's best tricks are slight of hand card tricks. But even here it gets murky and one just has to believe other people were involved to make it happen.
He can interchange cards in your hand right before your eyes and blow your mind. That I believe. But when a card is chosen by another party and the card winds up in his/her back pocket leaves me to believe preplaning and assistance just as the guy you saw in the video going through "solid glass".

I love tricks. I do quite a few myself for people.
But come on folks, some of these so-called tricks are pretty elaborate and needs much prep before execution.

Get a magic book of tricks and amaze your friends.

If Copperfield can make Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (remember that movie with Steve Martin and John Candy? Funny) disappear and get you to believe it, then it's all good.

Seen the trick before, it's old. David Copperfield walked right through the Great wall of China, I know how the trick is done, lets just say some people aren't being that honest.

I can't decide if Criss Angel looks like Brandon Lee in The Crow
Criss Brandon

or Robert Smith from The Cure
Criss Robert
