he's a contemporary illusionist who performs some really confounding street tricks but is best known worldwide for performing feats that "test the limits of the human spirit". He's mentioned (in tv specials) that one of the things he loves about it is that his performances become a nexus for all walks of life to congregate and interact when they otherwise never would. Many see his work as part happening or an art because of the mass public response/intrigue/support that he incurs. He often mentions his respect and admiration for Houdini and his beautiful event posters are obvious homages that era. He prepares months-yrs in advance for each event: His next stunt will be suspending from the Brooklyn Bridge by his arms. amazing- I love this guy.very intense
"David Blaine (born David Blaine White on April 4, 1973 in Brooklyn, New York City, USA) is an American magician and stunt performer. He made his name as a performer of street and close-up magic. He was the first to introduce this brand of magic to the public. His father was Spanish-Puerto Rican and his mother, Patrice White, was Jewish of Russian descent."
