I love magicians. Copperfield is okay, but he has a huge stage and stuff. I like watching David Blaine do street magic on TV shows. That guy is awesome... he does some extremely crazy stuff. I'd love to learn how to do that, but I'm sure it takes years and years of constant practice.

(I'm not talking about him hanging in that box and the ice block and whatever, but about the tricks he performs for people on the street (levitation, taking a head off a chicken, etc.))

many of those tricks involve tape edits though. most of his street tricks have been revealed by that other magician dude.

Does anyone know the song that is being played during this illusion?

Unfortunately it doesn't say the song name in the credits on the Illusion DVD. Let me find an old VHS copy of the Flying TV special to see if it's mentioned there.

Just checked my VHS copy, unfortunately I cut the credits. But based on the following years TV special, it didn't show the song names. So I doubt they showed it for the Flying special.

Well since I have the tapes out, I might as well convert them to VCD.

I actually found it. Thanks though.

Sorry about that.

The song is called "East of Eden" by Lee Holdridge.
