with David Blaine on May 23, 1997
David Blaine is an American illusionist and stunt performer. He made his name as a performer of street and close-up magic. Blaine began his career by bringing street magic to the public, performing card tricks and illusions such as levitation or bringing dead flies back to life. He used a small camera crew to record his act live in front of everyday people providing the basis for his television specials, “David Blaine: Street Magic, David Blaine: Magic Man”, and “David Blaine: Mystifier”. His first television special, “David Blaine: Street Magic” influenced the way magic is performed and portrayed on television. With its strong focus on spectators’ reactions and showmanship, Blaine entertained unsuspecting pedestrians without the use of the typical magic props used by other magicians.
