I was watching TLC channel yesterday and they were showing a show called 'Mysterious life of Alain Nu' and 'David Blaine.' I heard about David Blanie, the street magician but never saw him in action. That guy is freakin unbelievable. This one trick, he dropped a woman's ring down a drain hole and then the ring appeared in a bottle behind them. Whoa! That's crazy. The Alain Nu show had this asian guy doing stuff about ESP and shit like that. It was pretty cool when he started moving some eye glasses without even touching it. Man I gotta learn how to do these things, I'd be the life of the party.
I think that David Blaine guy is annoying.
Some of the stuff he does is amazing(The magic stuff), but I think that most of his stunts are stupid and fruitless to attempt in the first place. By the time they broadcast his stunts to the public on TV, if you think about it... you'll realize that he obviously completed the stunt and didn't die in the process, otherwise it wouldn't be on TV and you'd have heard about his failure by now from other sources. It's just not very entertaining to me to watch a prerecorded endurance challenge that I already know the outcome of. With that entertainment value gone, what good does he accomplish? I'm a runner and I sure as hell wouldn't sit there and watch an endurance event like the Boston Marathon on tape if I know the outcome. Boring!
What good does he accomplish by sitting inside a huge block of ice for 3 days and then spending a week or 2 after that in the hospital fighting for his life as a result? I don't think he's going for guinness records or anything either.
If he wants to test his mental or physical toughness or endurance or functionally apply his talents, why not test it in other venues that other people actually test them in?
Play Sports, run a marathon, win jeopardy, earn a PHD in like 5 different fields, or join the military.
I guess he finds some fun/thrill in doing this stuff? I just don't find the fun/thrill in hearing about it.

I've always been facsinated with the 'slight of hand' type of close-up magic. And the kind of good illusionist stuff, no matter how hard you try to see or follow, you just can't. Loved the big Siegfried and Roy show in Vegas too, except for that last trick.
2 gay men playing with 2 overgrown pussies(pussy cats), and one gets hurt.
Surprised?

No you wouldn't!
You'd also be the life of the party if you dropped your drawers and ran around singing the Star Spangled Banner. But that's just my opinion.
I had a great uncle who used to do this type of sleight of hand things. I remember him saying that he found the kids the hardest to deal with as a whole as they were less prone to be fooled/distracted. You'd think it would be the other way around, but he didn't seem to think so.

Not true, if I was watching magic with a group I would focus on only one hand instead of both. This way I could spot the switch/slide of hand.
