Yes.
More people swore and believed in superstition back then. Seeing a magic trick would be as good as fact for them. Besides, Christianity did not gain momentum in growth until 300 years after Jesus was crucified. By that time, rumours must have been inserted into stories. A regular man can be transformed into a prophet or God.
Another point is that it is easy to follow a trend rather than work against a popular belief. This works with religion, stereotypes, and fear.

He hasn't raised the dead yet, turned water to wine or walked on water. No David Blane is not Christ he is an entertainer. If you remember there were magicians in Christ time they didn't do the trick. How about Simon? Christ rejected him because of his trickery. Christ would have David Blane on his knees begging to follow him. xx

If he'd pulled off the 8 minute no breathing session he might have had a chance. He drowned instead.
