David Blaine is an American illusionist & stunt performer born in Brooklyn, New York City. He made his name as a performer of close-up magic, usually working on the streets. Amongst magicians this is commonly known as street magic. Blaines act includes a variation of the Balducci levitation illusion & bringing apparently dead flies back to life. Street Magic. Mystifier. He later turned his attention to feats of endurance, including being buried alive for five days & spending 61 hours encased in ice. In 2002 Blaine stood on a tiny platform at the top of a 100 foot high pole in Bryant Park for 35 hours. In 2003 Blaine lived in a transparent perspex box for 44 days, supposedly without food. The show-business press often describe Blaine as a modern day Harry Houdini & indeed Blaine himself has cited Houdini as one of his inspirations. On Monday 22 May 2002 Blaine began a stunt he named Vertigo. Blaine was lifted by crane onto a 105 feet high pillar in Bryant Park, New York. Posters Of David Blaine
