I saw him on there about 2-3 months ago, and some of that stuff is pretty awesome. One of his levitation moves is easy to do with a little practice, the one where he makes people stand all bunched up so that they can "catch him if he falls". It's all done with the angle that he makes you watch him from and he only "holds" it for a couple of seconds. It looks pretty believeable if you practice it. I wish I had his talent for "magic".

When he "bites" a piece of a quarter off and then blows it back onto the coin, seemed to get the biggest reaction from the people on the street! But he is the best with cards.....O yeah i forgot , how bout when he "twists" his hand around and around again!

 

i saw him a couple of months ago also. it was amazing. would you please explain to me again how the heck he levitated???????????? and if you know how he did some of those other things. he totally blew me away.

 

well, the quarter tricks are easy.. i've seen fake quarters in magic shops..
the arm thing is sick..
couldn't get a good look at his feet to see how he floats. (imagine that.. hehe)

he is very good at the card tricks.. very good.. the way he messed with those peoples minds.. lol

That show (his 1st and best) was really old. the street people like "fruit loops" and the others, had a collective iq of 10, so Blaine was like a God, or something

 

There's a site online that shows the levitation move...I'll try to find it. It's actually really easy to do. I agree, he's the man with card tricks.

Might be a good way to meet the ladies, hmmmmmmm

 

coleman that would be great if you can find it.. i would sure like to know

 

many years ago I and others were atteding a 2 wk. long sales training in Dallas for IBM. A friend and I went to a lounge where a hypnotist was the 'entertainment'(along with some FINE lookin' ladies.

He did the usual 'tricks' with people in the audience--putting them under and having them do 'stupid' things. Then he called me and my buddy up on the stage along with one of the ladies. He placed 2 straight-backed chairs opposite each other--about 5 feet apart. Then he put the lady 'under', told her to 'stiffen'--go rigid. She did(while 'under'). he laid her across his arms and placed her shoulders across the top of one of the chair backs and her ankles across the other--she was suspended from one chair to the other.

Our 'job' was to put one knee on the seat of each chair to keep them from tipping over. He then stood on a 3rd chair and then stepped up onto her belly and stood there for a few seconds--her rigid body holding up his 160(?) lbs. I wouldn't have believed it except I was inches from her head and watched him do this 'trick' up close.

The levitation trick that he did (well the one anyone can do) was invented by Balducci many years ago. If you want to learn how to do it you can search and probably find many links on how to do it. A little hint... you "tiptoe" on one foot.
