Top 10 David Blaine Videos

Magic has intrigued us for generations. David Blaine is one of the best current-age magicians and daredevils, entertaining us with street magic, daring stunts, and well, some really stupid endurance acts. In 1997, taking a small digital video camera out into the seedy world of Times Square New York, Blaine and a friend shot footage of Blaine performing street magic for passersby with just a pack of cards and a few coins. Contrary to overwhelming belief, Blaine had never performed street magic before this time. The results for such a simple idea were phenomenal.

David Blaine's camera caught reactions of people screaming in the street, laughing in shock, and crying in hysteria. This raw early footage would be something to look back on now in light of the fame Blaine has achieved. Blaine took the crude footage to ABC television in New York, managed to get an appointment, and after completely wowing executives with his bland yet powerful brand of close up magic - got a $1,000,000 contract and paycheck to perform in the first ever Street Magic television special.
