David (144,000) Blaine = Genuine (David Blaine is 4 Rael)
"Once again, you prove that you have completely lost it. This guy performs magic, a form of entertainment. He does not claim to have supernatural powers. He is an illusionist. And you are childish enough to actually believe he has them. You need help, fast."

Think a moment and see why if these arenīt miracles they MUST be video editing. Just see them and youīll understand why I am the way I am.

In an outdoor green park setting, David Blaine takes an empty can of beer, fills it back up in the matter of less than 5 seconds, and seals the lid. He opens the can and fizz sprays, even on the camera lens. His witnesses are shocked.
David Blaine learns the name of a woman, and the name of the woman appears on a car passing by on a street.
David Blaine meets a poor man with a cup of coffee with a lid on top. David Blaine tells him to remove the top and try the coffee and says, "as God is the witness, look." Then David Blaine takes the coffee and shakes it while speaking in a strange language. The level of the coffee sinks while money rises to the top and mutiplies and even spills over the edge.
David Blaine holds hands with women around the back end of a restaurant table. He instructed the women to "focus on the glass" and what you do you know, the glass shatters and the wine is spilled on the table. There is still a little wine in the glass that shatters. There are two other glasses on the table, but those do not shatter. The woman standing to the right of David Blaine said, "...it hit me in the lip."
David Blaine takes a newspaper, lays it against the window, sticks his hand through newspaper AND the glass, and pulls out a watch from a street side Jewelry Store. One of the two witnessess, the guy, shocked, touches the window and finds no holes in the glass.

Now you can see why there can be only two options for each of these clips:
1) Miracle
2) Video Edited Hoax

The girl in this video is very skeptical at first. This is the video where the girl grabs her rear pocket and finds the card that David Blaine was supposed to of had in the deck. She obviously did not put the card there herself. There are no cuts in this video.
At the end of this video, the girl and her mom where so shocked they had to smile having absoutely no clue as to how it is possible for the card inserted into her rear pocket without their knowledge. So how can this happen as an illusion?
If if it was con, then David Blaine would have likely been sued, or at least a man working with him who tries to put the card in that pocket would be the one sued, and David Blaine might have gone to jail - and his Magic Career busted for a time.

Hereīs the thing about Blaine.

He said in an interview that, when he was a little kid, his mother always had time to watch him attempt his magic "tricks" and that she also never told him that he couldnīt do something.

Imagine the power of knowing you can do anything, believing that nothing is beyond your grasp.

I, too, think heīs the real deal. I saw him bring a dead bird back to life, for crying out loud.

Amen, I also saw that ressurection as well... Halleluyah!

I think that was on the "Magic Man" episode. Itīs available on file-sharing WinMX www.winmx.com . For anyone who want to see the videos but donīt have them just type David Blaine into this free spyware-free application, and you should have it done within a few days. Iīm still trying to get the "Magic Man" episode downloaded.

Yepp, there is something special about David; his tricks are simply mind-boggling...I mean...how do you make a homeless man legally win on a cratch lottery (1000 USD) as seen on a certain clip?
If itīs video editing then his audience is very professionell beating every Hollywood star ever existed...well, then Iīm amazed at his audience...never seen better actors like these people (kids, basket teams, poor people and so on) :-))))

And how about Alain Nu?

He can do some extraordinary things like Blaine.
I watched a couple episodes of "The Mysterious World of Alain Nu". Episodes 3 and 4 are going to be on TV on June 26.

I wish they would tell us how they do it.

Itīs not video editing. Itīs all slight of hand and misdirection. Blaine is a really, really , really good illusionist and nothing more.
Heīs so good that some people actually believe he has magical powers. LOL

"Itīs all slight of hand and misdirection."

And he uses those skills to fill up an empty beer can without using refills and to stick his hands though glass... Riiiiiiiiiiiigghhht.

Trust me, the only way this can be hoax is video EDITing. That is the only possible way. Then things he does, like mutiply coins from a cup of coffee cannot be done using "slight of hand" or "misdirection"

[link to en.wikipedia.org]
From Wikipedia:
"An example of misdirection in magic might be as simple as a magician rolling up his sleeves and saying "nothing up my sleeve" and then īmagicallyī producing an object that in no conceivable way could have been īup his sleeveī. The audience instinctively scrutinizes the magicianīs arms but ignores the location where the object-to-be-magically-produced is hidden."

Misdirection is when the Audience does not see everything!

But in the Best of David Blaineīs acts, the audience sees EVERYTHING.

"Once again, you prove that you have completely lost it. This guy performs magic, a form of entertainment. He does not claim to have supernatural powers. He is an illusionist. And you are childish enough to actually believe he has them. You need help, fast."

Think a moment and see why if these arenīt miracles they MUST be video editing. Just see them and youīll understand why I am the way I am.

The following acts have NOTHING to do with cards.
In an outdoor green park setting, David Blaine takes an empty can of beer, fills it back up in the matter of less than 5 seconds, and seals the lid. He opens the can and fizz sprays, even on the camera lens. His witnesses are shocked.
Slight of hand and misdirection fills a beer can without having to pour anything into the can? NO!
David Blaine learns the name of a woman, and the name of the woman appears on a car passing by on a street.
Slight of hand and misdirection could allow for an assistant of David Blaine to write a name on a car that has been moving. If prepreations are made, itīs possible. But the name has to be known first. Not everybody accepts bribes and wasting their time in street to set up fake magic tricks for some fake magician so she can act like she saw a miracle when she got things to do.
David Blaine meets a poor man with a cup of coffee with a lid on top. David Blaine tells him to remove the top and try the coffee and says, "as God is the witness, look." Then David Blaine takes the coffee and shakes it while speaking in a strange language. The level of the coffee sinks while money rises to the top and mutiplies and even spills over the edge.
Slight of hand and misdirection creates money out of coffee? NO!
David Blaine holds hands with women around the back end of a restaurant table. He instructed the women to "focus on the glass" and what you do you know, the glass shatters and the wine is spilled on the table. There is still a little wine in the glass that shatters. There are two other glasses on the table, but those do not shatter. The woman standing to the right of David Blaine said, "...it hit me in the lip."
Slight of hand and misdirection causes glass to shatter? NO! Although some really advanced "sonic" tehnology could, as lucdrious as it sounds.
David Blaine takes a newspaper, lays it against the window, sticks his hand through newspaper AND the glass, and pulls out a watch from a street side Jewelry Store. One of the two witnessess, the guy, shocked, touches the window and finds no holes in the glass.
Slight of hand and misdirection can be used to pull objects through a solid glass window? NO!

Now you can see why there can be only two options for each of these clips:
1) Miracle
2) Video Edited Hoax

Does slight of hand or misdirection allow a assistant of David Blaine to put the queen of hearts in the girlīs rear pocket without get caught in her momīs view - NO WAY!

He also studied the tarot in depth while he was young.

Re: David (144,000) Blaine = Genuine (David Blaine is 4 Rael)
i'm an illusionist myself and i can tell you most of his tricks are actually gimmicks or promptu work efforts, i can perform a few of his tricks with ease all it takes is practise and sleight of hand seriously thats all it is, like the biting of the coin i dont know wether youve seen that? he bites a coin and spits it out hey presto the end of the coin lands on the coin itself. its a duffed coin with beautifully engineered innards lol thats all it is mate, same with the beer can. also the hand through glass and the shattering wine cups its all staged my friend i promise you with my life its staged. now the only thing that boggles me about david blaine is how he does his bloody mind reading, i know its mostly to do with how they look, where they look what there wearing etc but i dont know what to look for lol. but back to the point thats all it is so ... thought i'd let you know

God you people are PATHETIC!!!

I was one of the people on his original show a few years back...you know, the one with him "levitating", lol!

Trust me on this, IT IS EDITING!!!!!

In the ORIGINAL levitation sketch, he only 'hovered' a few inches off the ground...and then they showed us REACTING to THAT...He told us where to stand--obviously it was to hide the illusion.

BUT.....in the TV show edit, he levitates at least 4 feet off the ground, then it shows us REACTING---it was the same exact reaction used in the original illusion where he levitated only four inches off the ground!

TV editing at it's finest!!!!!

Yup...that's why he told us to stand behind and to the left of him.

He stretched out his arms, and continued to "levitate" about 4 inches.

We initially reacted with astonishment at the site of this guy hovering for a second or two.

He appeared to be in some sort of pain and I realized after the initial shock that he was using his right toe to lift his whole body.

He grabbed it after the cameras stopped and he TOLD US how it was done.

We signed some release forms which ACTUALLY SAID: Portions of his acts may include substantial REENACTMENTS and your likeness can be used for these RECONSTRUCTIONS. The producers HOLD ALL RIGHTS TO THESE IMAGES.

DONE.

lemme end this right now! i met the dude and saw him use props when preparing his street magick trick. I was fortunate because i saw the behind the scenes you dont see on his t.v special.

I asked him to do a magick trick for me. And of course he did the card one. Then i asked him to levitate. Guess what, he found a million excuses not to.
