Who Is This ?-1



One of the things that fascinate people from all ages is magic. One magician that always amazes me is David Blaine. Read about him and watch his exceptional tricks by viewing the videos I have provided….. 

Magic is one of those words that make ears stand up, heads turn and sometimes freak you out. You may have seen many illusions that leave you awed. I here use the word “illusion” to define magic. But is it? This is the question which is subjective. On my part I believed it was just a trick performed by professionals who are trained to deceive the eyes of the spectators. Starting from small card tricks to disappearance of TajMahal is a strictly supervised procedure to make people believe in the tricks of the magician. You just can’t make TajMahal. This not Harry Potter. Harry Houdini (real name Ehrich Weiss, 1874 - 1926) is considered to be the first modern magician. He was a specialist in stage performances like escaping from locked structures, handcuffs and what not! Even after reading about his exploits I was convinced that these were mere illusions. My beliefs were shattered when I saw David Blaine.

Did you see that? he just took off the ground. Here are some more of his illusions :



David Blaine not only performs these illusions but also tests his body strength and more importantly his will power. Here is a video that explain this to you:

Amazing isn't it? But what would you say if I said that people have shown what he does is just a trick? Click Here. According to me he is one of the best magician in our era. For more news and information about David Blaine Click Here.
