for those people who know David Blaine (the magician), do you guys know how he does his magic tricks? did he master his tricks or there is a dark secret behind his magic?

Did you see the one where he pulled that girls teeth out and then blew them back in her mouth. That looked pretty freaking real to me. If it wasnt that girl was a realy good actress, because she looked as shocked as I did.

It's all excellent showmanship, skilled sleight of hand, gaffed props and, occasionally, camera tricks (well not exactly camera tricks, but certainly with things happening off camera that you don't get to see....). Some rely on psychology, so don't work 100% of the time - but obviously only those that work make it into his TV shows!
Certainly no dark arts involved.
If you're interested in learning his tricks, many have been published to the magic community (most are based on well-established techniques but have been given David Blaine's own unique presentational spin). There are a large number of web-sites that sell effects he has performed. Just type magic shop into a search engine and you'll find loads of them.

It's all illusions, smoke and mirrors. Didn't you see that program on TV, I think it was called, "Secrets of the Street Magician Revealed". They told all on hjow these street magicians do tricks.

Anyone can learn Blaine's act. Read, "Royal Road to Card Magic" and you will surpass him.

He's just the David Copperfield du'jour. Nothing special.

i don't know, i think it's some dark alliance... And that makes me sound like some over-religious cat lady. But, oh, well, he's sickly mesmerizing. I can't take my eyes away no matter how much I wanna.

Simple actors on an outdoor set. They look spontaneous. Though he is really good at it. I love watching him
