I can just imagine David Blaine getting mugged and the guy stabs him in the stomach and he’s just like “see how it looks.... see how it looks like it’s really going through? Now could you just pull? Slowly. Just pull it out. See how there’s no blood”
"Now check under your watch to see if your mother didn't leave a note that says you shouldn't mug me tonight. Now check to see if your mother didn't also leave a photo of you as a baby in the unopened card deck in my pocket."
While both men you're referring to where great at their craft, you really can't compare the two. Blaine is a magician while Houdini was more of an escape artist.
Anyone that’s watched David’s videos knows why there’s no blood... he has none. He’s not a normal human lol. I can watch him all day. Totally entertained.
I once heard this act explained. I think it is done by poking it into the skin a little bit the same spot every day for a long period of time, and slowly you starting pushing it in a little further every time, which is slowly creating a passage through the hand/arm/foot/wherever you want to do it.. And after some time you will be able to push it all the way through without doing any damage to your mother, that giant cow! It is still a very dangerous act though, and it requires A LOT of time, pain and dedication.
He admits on Joe Rogan that he's just missing all the tendons, and there's no real damage, it heals quickly. But he had to stop because of nerve damage
David Blaine is amazing but props to the plastic surgeon who allowed Blaine to do this and the make-up artists who do him up every time he does this stunt!
If you doubt the trick,go on and search his "Real or Magic" Show. He does that there,and doctors showing with ultrasound that it's really inside his body. He is awesome.
Card trick is a trick as it sounds..and yeah it's amazing. But the Ice thing is real,I can do something similar with my nose. Years of practice and exploring.
@@cristibaluta He actually did it. He built up so much scar tissue that he now performs the trick on his bicep due to the problems he was experiencing day to day.
he gives them 13 cards at the beginning instead of 10. But he forces them to count them in a silly way (by flipping over and placing them on the bottom) that way they get to the 3 cards that he placed in there and they think there is only 10 cards. Then he forces the woman to chose the 3 card. When the guy is then counting the cards to see if there is now 13, David stops him at 10 and touches the deck and says "there is the original 10", during that touch he adds 7 cards. they count the next 3 and they think it is only 13. The guy now places 20 cards in his pocket (although he thinks its only 13) and the woman chooses a number, 5, and then Lars picks a 2 in order to make it add up to 7. (this is the only part i am not sure on, i believe he needs an accomplice to pick the second number ensuring they add up to 7).
acctually you are right, every time they pick 7, only one picks because the person already chose 7, but if he/she chooses less, another person [thats in on it] picks what ever number it takes to add up to seven,,, there probably is like 3-7 different videos on him doing this trick on the internet, and never have anybody choosen a bigger number than 7,,,,
It's a psychology trick he uses. Most people when asked to pick a number between 1-10, they usually pick 7. If they pick less than 7, he asks the second person to pick a low number between 1-5. They usually pick 2 or 3. If it adds up to more than 7, he then simply adds more cards to the pile as the spectator is dealing out the cards using a palming technique. Genius trick!
He literally had spent years slowly working that spot on his hand to build scar tissue to not feel the pain. That’s why there is no blood. He also made sure to pick a part of the hand that is all flesh with no bones or veins under it
They were all so relaxed to see just another guest, then things get serious then things got scary and you walk away with more questions than answers. The next guest will have to really really spectacular after David Blaine cause someone got to close all those jaws in the audience.
He is the master of the mind, he can manipulate the mental plane of existence with the power of thought, and literally do anything he wants. It is called Siddhi, spiritual powers.
Am I the only one here who actually thinks that he really poked that pick in his hands? Him knowing anatomy on which part of the hand he can puncture without bleeding. And for me that alcohol really did him good preventing infection.
Yeah I'm pretty sure that's what it is. He must know which part of the hand won't cause bleeding. It's probably going through cartilage or something. Blaine always consults with doctors, e.g. when doing his underwater tricks, so he has probably consulted doctors about this trick as well.
David has CT scanned his hand and has a specific place where he puts the ice pick...as to not hit anything besides capillaries. He's actually doing this but has consulted medical professionals. Like Houdini...he actually does this shit with smarts
Its called a fistula, a channel of scar tissue, somewhat similar to a peirced ear only he lets the skin heal over the scar tissue, the same way an ear piercing will close if left un-pierced.
Actually, she really is 😂 She's one of the Swedish Hollywood wives and is regularly on Swedish television. Don't really know a person that dislikes her, but her co-stars on the shows are rather the contrary.
Maybe he is on a special diet that changes something about his blood, and also maybe the "algochol" pad helps prevents blood from escaping, I have no idea how he does that but these are my guesses.
Трюк прост, я думаю в том месте где он протыкает руку шилом , там нет артерий и капилляров. Возможно там имплантирован силиконовый цилиндр вглубь ладони, чтобы дырка от прокола исчезала.
The mechanic is some how in the green deck - it expands additional cards, some how, most plausible way. How I don't know. I believe the ice pick, it's real.
He puts there already more cards, and just manipulating the people around him (thats why he has to ask the guy also to say a small number, to get 7 (5+2)). He adds more cards while counting at the second round. The ice pick is freaky tho.
Have you ever wondered why he does the trick always in the same spot? because that area in his hand is dead(necrosed). If he uses another spot, you will see blood for sure.
See that’s a good point but he’s also put a pick through his arm before too,and a lot of people say similar things like,”he stabbed his hand in the same spot for years to develop scar tissue so he could perform this trick”. Who really knows, regardless he is magnificent
What if she said 8 or 9? Is he then going to say "say a number between 0 and 2", (if she said 8), "now I add her 8 cards then I subtract one card like he suggested".
If I remember correctly, I once heard this act explained. I think it is done by poking it into the skin a little bit the same spot every day for a long period of time, and slowly you starting pushing it in a little further every time, which is slowly creating a passage through the hand/arm/foot/wherever you want to do it.. And after some time you will be able to push it all the way through without doing any damage to yourself. It is still a very dangerous act though, and it requires A LOT of time, pain and dedication.
I can do this thing. What you said is partially true. You can't just poke it anywhere you want. We, magicians normally poke it in the hand in a specific area where there are no veins or anything like that. But I can only do it with smaller needles and I only poke it halfway thru. I get really scared and just abort continuing all the way thru
I wonder what else David uses this logic on. "See how it really looks like I'm stealing your money? See how it looks like I'm putting your wallet in my pocket." "See how it really looks like I'm screwing your girlfriend? See how it really looks like it's really going in?" "See how it really looks like I give a shit about you? Like the look on my face and everything, see how it looks?"
As hardcore and dedicated to being fully believable as he is, I’m surprised he never pushes it all the way through and breaks the skin on the other side. I’ve seen him do this trick many times and he never does. Of course, still an awesome trick no doubt.
ill be actually impressed by the needle act only if he allows any1 else to choose the spot on his hand for piercing. i bet he wont be able to do it then
The reason that there is no blood is because he has worked at through his hand slowly over time and created a whole very much like people who have their ears pierced for their belly button or their nose... There is a hole, but there is no blood and he has kept that whole open by periodically putting the pick through it just like one would do with an earring
