so what is your opinion on david blaine the magician? i seen his show on tv tonight and some of the stuff he does is just unreal. i know most of them are slight of hand tricks, but when he pulls a girls teeth out and then blows in her face and they're back in her mouth or when he puts a dollar bill in someones hand and makes it levitate. it seems unreal to me, anyone else here have a thought?
David Blaine!?!?!?

[23:46] royalsid: so what he does is
[23:46] royalsid: he will stand at a certain angle
[23:46] royalsid: so what happens is
[23:47] royalsid: you stagger your feet so your heel hides your other foot's toe
[23:47] royalsid: and you tippy toe on one set of your toes
[23:47] royalsid: so when you do that it looks like you lift off the ground
[23:47] royalsid: now david does that
[23:47] royalsid: and he records teh reactions
[23:47] royalsid: and then using tv editing and wires
[23:47] royalsid: they film teh really high "levitating"
[23:48] royalsid: notice you dont see the people when he is really high in the air

I'd rather see David Blaines minimalist approach to magic than David Copperfield with his tacky costumes, hair blowing in the wind, smoke machines, & bimbos.

Why Penn and Teller are better (two reasons).
They openly tell you they are tricking and scamming you. They also spent a lot of their shows telling you HOW they are tricking you and still get away with it.
Secondly they catch bullets in their teeth 6 nights a week on stage.

The only thing appealing about Blaine is he seems really stoned when he does the tricks. +1 for that.

Haha, I agree that penn and teller are a couple of badasses.... but for someone who is trying to explain that magic is all show, I am surprised to see you site the bullet in the teeth trick (100% physically impossible) as being one of the reasons that these guys are better.
ya mythbusters tried the bullet in the teeth thing, it was BUSTED 
sorry i like that show. now back to magic
tonights blain show was good but when he levitates they never show his feet. i wanted to see the front of his feet to see if he was doing what was shown above. they just show his waist and up!!
