David Blaine gave a seminar at the Ted Conference about the secrets behind his breath-holding stunt, which might be interesting to read, but boy is his voice annoying to listen to at. The real feat of magical endurance is being able to sit through the whole thing.































david blaine sounds like a stoner vampire.
He’s so kicked out of the Magicians’ Alliance.
Uuugh, he’s like the Jay Leno of magic tricks.
NO, David Blaine.

That video clip of the tube being shoved down his throat is the oldest trick in the book!
Nails on the chalkboard. He sounds like Robert Kennedy, Jr.
Garr, he sounds like he picked up a touch of the brain damage on one of those attempts.
That video has subtitles so you don’t have to listen to his voice if you don’t want to.
David Blane trade secrets? BLEH!

I’d rather hear trade secrets from the Illusionators.
you know how the “chopped and screwed” hip hop songs are best listened to while drinking cough syrup because it sort of synchs you with the music’s speed? i think the same applies to david blaine.
Am I the only person who found this really fascinating and incredibly respectable? I’ve always found his TV specials sort of annoying and self-aggrandizing, but listening to him talk about the self-discipline and insane training he put himself through… I can’t help but admire that.
