Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

raindead I kinda enjoyed these things until I started to dabble in in those things myself. The thing is: television makes stuff a lot more real than it really is. And it makes me sick that Blaine is trying to sell all this stuff as real magic. All that spiritual stuff and people saying wow this guy is a *real* magician. And standing for three days surrounded by some ice blocks. Even an idiot should know it doesn't really make a difference if you're standing in the middle of the street or inside some blocks of ice. But Blaine got some serious frost bites and couldn't walk for weeks. Maybe that's the real magic. That was the contrivance in the previous "piece of work" from that guy. What's really interesting in this particular one is Blaine going to Haiti and to some tribes in the rainforest of wherever. This old lady, after she's been shown the trick, makes a reference "you must be really smart". The children mostly seem to know what's going on. You would think those people would be the first ones to be fooled. But maybe this is just another one of the tricks. Back to the Blaine guy, it really makes me sick he's trying to pass these things as real, and the naiive audience on the streets (and even some famous people, they seem to get paid a lot) are just contributing to the whole scam. A lot of magicians these days use some "explanation other than trickery" so they at least look credible, but saying *all* this stuff is real, come on, jump on the wagon.

FesterSam Houdini who? David Blaine is the real thing. From his feat of magic to his feats of endurance we are treated to a visual cavalcade of illusions that will freak you out. I came upon this special accidentally and had never heard of David before. All it took was that one look, and I realized that I had found the most talented magician of our day. I hate to use the word "magician" when describing David, because it tend to lump him into the group of artists who grace the stage with their illusions. One of the things that sets David apart is that he does his work right in your face. Walking among his fans, he chooses to let you in, dares you to stare right at him while he entertains you, and never letting you see what his magic is. Illusions and tricks are one thing, but to make grown adults belive in magic is his most special gift. David, if you ever read this.....Rock On Buddy!!!!!
