Are you a fan of these kind of Entertainment? What can you say about these guys, David Blaine, Kryss Angel the guys from Mondo Magic or David Copperfield? They are just some of the famous magicians that I know.. Can David Blaine really pull some magic stuffs like elevating, change the coffee to coins, etc..? Do you know how they do those stuffs?

I think David Blaine is interesting and can do street magic, however the stunts he does are not magic if you ask me. Like locking himself in a water filled ball - no magic there! Just physical and mental training.
David Copperfield is cool, but overtime I feel too many of his tricks have been explained, making it less exciting to watch.
I do know how some stunts are done b/c I've seen that "Magicians Secrets Revealed" show! It's cool that they revealed them because that served to test magicians and force them to come up with new tricks! Now I prefer humorous comedians like The Amazing Jonathan :)

Yes, that was what I'm thinking about. I've seen those "Secrets of magic; Revealed" show also. I am really interested to the kind of magic David Blaine does, and not those stunts that he did in times square or let himself soaked in ice for a long time. I guess illusionists are no more demanding as they were, during Copperfield's time. Thanks for your response. PEACE!:)

Additional Thought: street magic to me is the most impressive form of tricks. B/c they have to be up close and personal with you, and still trick you! People like Copperfield had elaborate stages and sets all ready to fool you, but street magicians have to rely on quickness and slight of hand.

i can't familiar the last one you mentioned----maybe he has a different style of tricks. and i have no idea on how they do that, but my grandpa he knows how to make that one but he didn't tell us on how to do the trick's. as i remember when i was a child, mostly he used his trick's for fun to us, sometimes he rip a small piece of a paper and he has something to tell that he is the only one who heard then he blow it....and then when he open his hand we saw that the piece of paper that he rip...it is already a money but we don't have an idea how? but he said only a few hours it's go back to normal piece a paper so you can't use it for guile.

Who, David Copperfield? He's a veteran illussionists. He was the one who crossed between the walls of "the great walls of china". He was famous during his time!;)
