Magician and stuntman David Blaine considers what he does to not only be works of art but also personal challenges to prove that what ‘can’t’ be done really can.
I grew up with many magicians who were either lounge lizard types who combined magic with comedy or stuffy types with wardrobe closets bigger than my house.
It is both refreshing and intriguing to see people like David Blaine who turn what they do from performance art into something that is almost spiritual in feeling.
Of course, it is pretty needless to say that you shouldn’t try anything even close to anything he has done by yourself.
