David Blaine: Overview
Blaine's act includes a variation of the Balducci levitation illusion and bringing apparently dead flies back to life. This format, recorded by a small camera crew, provided the basis for his breakthrough television special,
"David Blaine: Street Magic". He stayed with the format for David Blaine: Magic Man and David Blaine: Mystifier.
He later turned his attention to feats of endurance, including being buried alive for five days and 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 (see
Vertigo below). In 2003 Blaine lived in a transparent perspex box for 44 days, supposedly without food (see
Blaine's London stunt below).
The show-business press often describe Blaine as a modern day
Harry Houdini and indeed Blaine himself has cited Houdini as one of his inspirations.
