Anyone here 2024

I love David, but one thing I’ve really noticed especially in his 2020 reaction type doc w celebrities, is that they are often visibly uncomfortable w doing or watching things to do w his body, & the reaction isn’t really good, bc it’s not that they don’t believe he can do it, it’s that it goes “beyond magic” & the vast majority of people who like magic, want to know that it’s a trick, to quote The Prestige…”they want to be fooled.” He doesn’t want to fool anyone, he wants to show what the human mind & body are capable of enduring, under the right circumstances. I think that’s a great, really positive message to send, or market to the right audience who does want to see it or try it on him. Joe is a real professional, but it’s so obvious he didn’t want to do the ice pick, & David PROVED why, by stopping & saying you’re hitting a nerve, but let’s go again. That wasn’t enjoyable for Joe, he did it bc he knew how much David wanted him to.

David is incredible, & I love the overarching message that you can achieve something if you want to, w willpower & the right team of professionals around you. My critique though, is that he needs to pay more attention to people’s boundaries. Joe didn’t not believe the ice pick was real, he just very visibly & audibly didn’t want to do it. I think David needs to know when to say that’s okay, I respect your comfort zone.

I’m starting to understand why Penn & Teller are friends / friendly w him, but disagree on him calling himself a magician. It gets to a point where it’s not fun to watch, & you realise it’s David’s personal thrill of what he can push himself to do. That’s not magic, & he doesn’t claim it to be, but in the now digital age we’re living in, it doesn’t really matter if he still combines those things w “magic”, bc it only blurs the lines more than he’s already blurred them. If it’s that freaky for grown adults, then what is this doing to his daughter. Is anyone else worried for her? This is her DAD. Her hero. He could leave her fatherless, which he openly admits to when he nonchalantly says sure, I could die, like it’s nothing. I don’t really know where he’s going with this. When does he go back to magic, so people can have fun knowing it’s NOT real? I miss that street kid version of David. Making people happy, not scared, uncomfortable, or worried for him. He’s always laughing - but it’s not funny anymore, it’s too real because it is real. He’s proven that. Why does he have to keep proving it?

Props to Joe for sticking this out, he’s such a great interviewer. He didn’t even like the motorbike thing. I think he’d prefer David be late, than knowing he’s speeding through traffic on a bike, which is just as deadly. If you’ve read this far, lmk - is he pushing it now? Should he keep going or “just” stick to magic? How do you feel about his daughter w this? (Or any kids watching). “Don’t get too cocky” - famous last words.

Now you’re looking for the secret…but you won’t find it, because you’re not really looking. You don’t really want to know. You want to be…fooled. But you wouldn’t clap yet, because making something disappear isn’t enough, you have to bring it back.

He can’t guarantee that anymore. 🕊️ 🪄 🎩

It's incredible how he starts vomit all the water that ve been drinking and then spits the toad into Joe's hands, instantly regrets everything and then he just wanted to break some handcuffs that were there.

I put the boy in the box like David Blaine
Let the audience watch, it ain't a thang
Y'all wish I was frontin', I George Bush the button
For the oil in your car, lift up your hood, ninja run it
Then lift up your whole hood like you got oil under it
Your boy got the goods, y'all don't want nothin' of it
Like, castor oil, I'll Castor Troy you
Change your face or the bullets change all that for you
Y'all ninjas is targets, y'all garages for bullets
Please don't make me park it in your upper level
Valet a couple strays from the .38 Special, ninja
God bless you

This is a very cool episode

I always thought the ice pic through the hand and arm was fake when I was young but holy shit that is insane

David should go undercover as a black jack dealer (if he hasn’t already) but as I think about it that has more of a Carbonaro effect feel ig

🐐

Right now you have 3 fingers behind your phone with your pinky on the bottom for support 🪄

Blaine is just all over the place in telling jis stories.... continuously jumps from one thing to the other....starts to tell something, Joe asks for an explanation, gives half of it then is reminded of something else and starts on that...good video though

What a great show . So many interesting stories and dynamics

Magic is real and forbidden

Wow

Imagine being a pilot and having to change your flight path because David Blane is dangling by some balloons 😭

If I was the frog, I would feel honored for the rest of my frog life.

I always tell people that David really does these things, and they don't believe me. But I've been doing magic for years now, and I just have always known that David was a superhuman. His mind over matter mentality is the most insane thing anyone's ever seen.

Seems like Joe doesnt care for David much, just doing this because others are interested in Blaine. Too bad because Blaine is so terribly interesting & sweet. Enjoy his still child-like excitment at what he does.✌️

Am i the only one whos like if u listen close what the fuck is he talking about half the time, bro is really spinning a web

Love seeing him talk like this ! You can tell he’s so passionate about everything he is speaking about

Chicken

I almost vomited watching the frog come out ...

No one is gonna talk about how he knew the number on the die not once but twice.

Joe's a good sport with some meaty hands!

Ufo has killed this now let's all be honest

It is called hyperventilation and apnea divers do it aswell.

Tom mullica, cig guy didnt die of cancer....he died from surgery for a hernia that resulted in blood clots and caused several strokes.

When you realise that 12 year old kid that moved to Las Vegas he was talking about was himself 🫡

Here in 2024!

Classic!

A humble librarian with a deck of cards began the career of our Sorcerer Supreme, crazy world.

Blaine doing a HUAK TUAH in the video still.

you can actually manifest things I have been practicing myself and that shit is very real. I have over 10g's worth of things in the last 6 months and I either found it or it was giving to me. I just focus on what I want and write it out 15 times a day and I always get it. No being greedy won't work either. But Dave has mastered manifesting.

The magical reff when fights break out haha

Close your eyes and David Blaine is post Malone minus the “yes sir”

The dice has a reader in it witch can tell witch side is up attach is to your phone bumping morse code to you in silence.

gonna love this one..having my headset on not watching for 10 sec i thought i was listening to graig conant..funny

There's a saying in America about doing something over and over and over to achieve perfection...

... It's called ADHD neurodivergent autism

WHAT A GENUINE GUY. The prison story is beautiful.

No the cigarette guy died due a complication from a hernia operation

I wish they would have shut the mic off the most annoying sound is listening to someone drink four bottles of water
