When I watched cris angel to this, he said “sometimes all you have to do is, believe.” And I was like 8 so I literally spent months trying to levitate until my brother told me I’m retarded
Because the overwhelming majority of illusionists wouldn't steep so low as to fake both the trick and the reactions. Now it's just editing instead of an illusion. He lost a lot of respect.
One of the best magicians in the World was a English bloke called Paul Daniels.He didnt use trick photography,He was just incredibly skilled.It might not have looked as flashy as a Copperfield or Blaine, but people like Penn & Teller held him in very high regard.This may as well be cgi.
I watched and studied “David Blaine: Street Magic” many times. I learned so much from it. I figured out very quickly these two levitations were half camera tricks. I was still inspired by David Blaine to pick magic back up as a hobby and sometimes job.
People really believe he was frozen in ice for a week . I posts on those vids people lost their minds. He almost died. He had an ambulance. And everything
Think about it. There are 2 billion grown ass adults that literally believe in things like talking snakes, magic trees, talking donkeys, talking burning bushes, talking clouds, a 6000 y/o earth, Noah's Ark, and magical water-walkin woo wizards who zap trees, part seas, and poof magical party wine, bread and fish into existence.
I remember the first version...bout 24 years ago. We'd do this at school, the one foot heal blocks the other one that has a toe on the ground and only lift about an inch or two
Fun fact, you can do a levitation very similar to the second, but it ruins a good pair of pants. It's the criss angel levitation. Or maybe criss angle because it's so angle sensitive.
This is why when magicians say they're no camera tricks you shouldn't believe them. A classic series I use to watch was The Masked Magician where he would go through many different magic acts and then show you how they're done.
@Arthur bundy it definitely is I went to the exact spot and pulled my tape measure out of my pockets and measured 20ft at the exact same time and day that it took place
I saw Chris angel forever ago expose how he did this trick and it involved pants that he could put his leg through and lift himself up while looking like both legs and feet were still together.
I still believe that he’s a good magician which he is because he tricked the audience that’s what magicians do but if your actually good and talented at something don’t go out your way to fake it just be grateful for what your gifted at
I guess it could be fake but why do governments and corporations around the world have several specific rules and laws in place for magicians as if they believe in magic then have you believe it's the vulnerability of the human mind that has you fooled by these "illusions". There's much greater wonders that are possible only limited by restrictions one allows to be placed upon them. Sometimes people forget they are living organisms on a rotating watery rock spinning around a ball of fire while spiraling around the galaxy being sucked into a black hole.
If you’ve ever seen “Breaking the Magician's Code: Magic's Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed” from years ago, the Masked Magician shows you how this trick is done.
Blaine really cause some serious panic back in the day. Nobody could figure his tricks out and i had many friends who truly believed he was a true wizard. It made me realise how fragile and gullible the human mind is. It also stopped me from believing in god and going to Church for the exact same reason. The gullibility of human kind is incredibly sad.
Immediately reached this exact conclusion when I was a kid, and people got angry at me when I shared my realization. My whole life is punctuated by NPCs getting angry at me for pointing out the obvious.
@@zekedayton5584 First of all, r/foundthemobileuser, second.....that doesn't even apply? They aren't even bragging about being some god sent genius, ya numpty.
@@caesarin0 "My life is saturated with NPCs." Also, your whole "omg the mobile user" is a trash statement usually made by people on a Wal-Mart laptop who can't afford a smartphone.
There's always someone to ruin it. This guy can't do what david blaine does so he just goes around exposing tricks. Like shut up.... it's magic. He shouldn't take that from people. #jealous
A different camera getting a different reaction to a show on TV..that's all his show is about... redirecting the TV audience who still believes what they see on their screen to be genuine.
Great explanation. I had a girlfriend who went on a couple dates with David blaine. I didn't know it until one time I tried to impress her with a disappearing quarter magic trick. She said, "You think that's cool? David Blaine once levitated." I couldn't believe it how could I compete with that??? True story
Was there a chair or object he could stand on in front of him? Because that's how lol pretty sure you can find a video online of him explaining that one
@@emilybarclay8831 did I say that's what I chose or that's what I thought? And if you weren't part of this comment thread that was laughing, why are you Assuming I called you a clown?
Another common way magicians levitate like this for live performances is actually very cool. Try to picture my explanation. The shoes have magnets and stick together. They also always wear black pants. One of the pant legs actually has a slit on the inside thigh thigh that the leg can slip out of. The shoes are also loose so the foot can slide in and out easier. Now, the magician will stand in front of something like a bench or chair, back to the audience, and slide his leg out of one of the pant legs. The pants are baggy so you cant see the leg coming out. They put their leg on the chair and push themselves up. The shoes are magnetized together so it looks like the magician is keeping their feet together. When the magician settles back on the floor, they discreetly slip their leg back into the pants amd back in the shoe. Levitation
How do I get to heaven? Will my good deeds be measured against my bad deeds? Do I need to be a good person to go to heaven? How do I know if I'm good enough? Well the bible says no man is good, for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. So how do we get to heaven? Answer: By believing on Jesus Christ who took the punishment for our sin on the cross. There are no amount of good works we can do to achieve salvation because salvation is a free gift of God. We need to humble ourselves, realize we are sinners and that we need a savior. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave his only son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
He was levitating. He learned the secret art from a monk that was visiting a neighbor when he was a teenager. He almost forgot how to de levitate. The monk master quickly told him what to do. David was 2 stories in the air at the time and was just barely able to hear the instructions, good thing because he would have disappeared into the atmosphere.
Nice video. You are really under rated. Hope you grow more considering the quality of your shorts. I also like how the fan boys are triggered in the comments, like they took your video as an attack. 🤣 Keep up the videos man.
I never bought it for a second. I knew it was obviously just another David Blaine trick. I was more impressed when he stood encased in ice for almost 64 hours! That was crazy and took a great deal of pure determination.
When me appears to do things that are impossible you have been tricked. No magic or superhuman powers. Just able to fool some people into believing. It’s acting and illusion
Trying to get my kids back. My ex took off with them. She going to jail. It's been 2 months already. Hopefully my lawyer and FBI get this shit over with!! That's my life everyday for the past couple months
