Question: Do you think David Blaine is really magic!?
It may seem like a stupid question, but some of the things he does just seem impossible!. I've only ever seen him on TV so I don't know how much creative editing has to do with it!. Anyone ever seen him live!? Www@QuestionHome@Com

haha naww, not real magician at all!.
I used to be in magic at once point, so I know how to do basically all of his tricks, but obviously not as well (or else Id be the one on TV doing magic!)

It's all just illusions, sleight of hand, use of stooges (paid actors) etc

Now Blaine doesn't use much video editing in his movies!. They're mostly legitimate illusions that can be performed live!.

On the other hand, almost all of Criss Angel's videos have been edited in some way, and are impossible to perform live using the same method!. This is why I don't really like him that much!.!.!. at all!.
I mean his ideas are cool, but he should really take the time to figure out a real way to perform it!.

If you're into magic, check out "Cyril Takayama" on youtube!.
He was like my fav magician back in the day!. He is so much better than Blaine in my opinion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Honey, he's an *illusionist*!. Ya know - sleight of hand!? Smoke and mirrors - even when there ARE no mirrors!? Misdirection!? Even if you were in the audience at a live show - you would have NO idea what you just THINK you saw!. Every profession has people so good at what they o, that they can sell snow to the Eskimos!. Believe NON of this - just appreciate their skill to let you enter the myth for a moment!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

he is not magic!.!.!.only god can perform that!.
He has a really good stunt crew and they can do stuff on tv like they can with photos!.!.!.you just have to know trickery!.!.!.just like Criss Angel!.!.!.its all fake and they know it!.!.they just don't say it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
