Howard Stern made the on-air proclamation, “David Blaine is the greatest magician who ever lived,” a sentiment echoed by Penn Jillette, who referred to Blaine’s 1997 special David Blaine: Street Magic as “The best TV magic special ever done.” David Blaine: Magic Man followed two years later, followed by many other specials including David Blaine: What Is Magic?, David Blaine: Real or Magic? and his latest, David Blaine: Beyond Magic (2016). “Buried Alive,” Blaine’s first live stunt, was a feat even Houdini was unable to do. Entombed in an underground plastic box beneath a three ton water tank for seven days with no food and little water, Blaine would draw strength from the 75,000 visitors who came to the event. For “Frozen In Time,” Blaine encased himself in a block of ice in Times Square. When he was cut free after nearly 64 hours, The New York Times reported, “The magician who emerged from the increasingly unstable ice box seemed a shadow of the confident, robust, shirtless fellow who entered two days before.” Next Blaine upped the ante even further with “Vertigo,” standing atop a 100 foot tall pillar in Bryant Park for 36 hours without a safety net. “Electrified” put him on the receiving end of one million volts discharged at him continuously for 72 hours from seven Tesla coils. Don’t miss the chance to have him at your next event!
