David Blaine Real or Magic

[postmark]

Did anyone else watch this? I have a hard time believing this TV produced magic specials but this one kept me guessing. I guess it didn't help that the people he's doing the tricks for are well known actors but some of the reactions just seem too real. Like Harrison Ford in this clip.

What do you think?

The ice pick through the hand left me dumbfounded.

David Blaine is a waste of everyones' time.

(The main trick) This does not take skill or any other attribute worthy of compliments. I could do this with enough money and no illusionist-type skill or experience.

What next? Should we call CGI artists "illusionists"?

The ice pick through the hand left me dumbfounded.

I read somewhere that he actually pushed it through his hand, after spending a lot of time researching the interior structure of his own hand through imaging. Some people thought he had actually had his hand pierced for several months beforehand, but that wouldn't allow him to show the bulge on his palm.

It's a bunch of bullshit, not more or less.

Got bored with it, turned it off long before it was over.

Watched and recorded this when it was being aired on TV.
It's a real as you can see.

Nobody's talking about Chris Angel's Shaq balloon?

I wish Kim Kartrashian would try the ice pick trick in her head.

 

[meob]

can someone explain what he did with the ice pick? did it magically heal or something? what's magical about stabbing yourself with an ice pick?

 

[Berliner]

It's completely real and I believe every second of it.

*facepalms*

 

[KeithP]

Its real magic.

While not widely known, David Blaine is part of a cabal that includes Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy and the King of the Leprechauns. He gets regular infusions of magical powers from them that allow him to do these tricks.

It needs to hit a vital organ so her head won't do
