i love david blaines street magic..  

he is very strange. but a good magic

David Blaine is ok but Criss Angel mind freak has way better illusions

I too love magic shows, but do not know about david blaines. Even as a kid I had an interest in magic. Even I used to learn a trick or two and show others. What about Pen and Teller! Their TV shows are wonderful and sometimes teach us a trick or too. I think the greatest of all time is David Copperfield. He made the Statue of Liberty vanish.

I read this article on how it was done. But whether it is true is the question:

The Secret, Finally Exposed
A long kept secret, Copperfield owns a special machine that can stop time. Near the beginning of his career, he purchased the top secret device from an archeologist who discovered it at a dig in Peru. Seems some long-gone civilization had obtained the device from space aliens.

The archeologist was an amateur magician who, for years, used the time machine to switch a svengali deck for a one-way deck, greatly improving the climax of his svengali card routine.

The archeologist approached Copperfield with the machine and sold it for an undisclosed sum. We don’t know how much he got for it, but the archeologist is said to be living in the finest trailer park in Utah.

If you've seen Copperfield somehow vanish from one location and reappear in another, much of the time, he's using his time machine. (For the record, Copperfield can actually dematerialize and rematerialize his body. But the process is tiring and when he's doing lots of shows in a day, he relies on the time machine.)

When the curtain closed and obscured the statue from the audience, Copperfield simply pulled a switch, which stopped all time. With real time stopped and the audience and television cameras effectively frozen, a large barge with a giant crane was brought in.

The crane lifted the statue from its base and the barge moved out of sight. After 32 hours of relative time to move the statue, Copperfield pressed a button to resume real time, and the statue had seemingly disappeared. To bring the statue back, he simply reversed the process.

yha i he great
