I feel like ABC has been playing the commercial a lot the last 2 weeks. My guess, Press might start picking up on this after the US election is over. Most likely talk shows later this week, early next.

Good point. I bet after today it will pick up. Speaking of I just saw that Blaine will be on Jimmy Fallon this Friday.

Great- another hours worth of magical effects that will be exposed within 10 minutes of this special's airing. Wonder how happy everyone will be if he does a trick with one of those expensive sven-pads. Sorry to sound bitter, but I think we're better off without, in my opinion.

Interesting......I see it differently.

IMHO we NEED performers like Blaine doing these multi million $ advertising campaigns for magic, this helps all of us Smile Gives the entire art of magic a lift in the public mind's eye and inspires more bookings for all magicians generally.

Well we know that most of it will come from that one guy who is also a wrestler and a motivational speaker and an actor.

Just saw his performance on Fallon - great stuff. Anyone know if the card effects he showed are commercially marketed and if so their names? Thanks.

I don't know if we can/should discuss it here, but I really appreciated his confidence and methods. Very nice. Maybe downstairs? Most of us should know, right? I could be way off, but for the first I'm thinking almost the Dai's royal relative routine. And for the second I'm thinking Paul Harris with some Banachek-esque maneuvering for numbers, etc.

So cool to watch.

Over the years it seems as though David is leaning towards mentalism now.. Just my personal observation. I feel like he mixes both magic and mentalism quite well actually.

The real learning here is how uncomplicated and straight forward the effects are.....that's good segment on Fallon.

The frog thing ?!How the hell...?! I mean I really doubt he was regurgitating a living frog but I have no idea,but it was a helluva way to end the segment.

David Blaine is great as long as he sticks to the magic and stays away from blocks of ice and large fish bowls etc....NO MORE STUNTS !
The effect is the important thing, how you achieve it is not.......
