How Does David Blaine Levitate

In grade school you know perfectly well the theories of gravity and the saying “What comes up must go down” (of course not unless they get past the Earth’s escape velocity. But what I’m saying is that, people such as the famous magician and illusionist David Blaine CAN NOT LEVITATE. He cannot go against the laws of nature.

However, one can APPEAR to levivate, and that is what this blog post is all about. How does David Blaine Levitate? The answer is in the angle of vision of your audience.Simply put, what you need to do is to put your feet together, then the raise your left foot about 3 inches and at the same time, your right foot “tip toes”. However, the illusion of levitation lies on the angle of your audience. They must not see your right foot doing the tip toe. All they see is the side of your left foot and the back of your 2 feet.

Because of David Blaine’s Houdini-esque stunts the Board of Directors of The Houdini Museum in Scranton has decided to place David Blaine up for nomination for the first ever Houdini Award to be given out by the prestigious museum. When David Blaine is buried alive for seven days, frozen in a block of ice or hung upside down for 60 hours, he credits Harry Houdini’s legendary escapes as his inspiration. In April, Blaine broke a world record by holding his breath underwater for 17 minutes and 4.4 seconds, another Houdini inspired stunt.

Others who have been nominated include James Randi, Dorothy Dietrich and Caesar Pelez of Le Grand David. Criss Angel, David Copperfield, and Penn and Teller were in the running for nomination but did not make the cut this year. The winner of the award is to have a special coin minted in their honor.The Houdini Museum, a 501 C-3 non-profit organization, is the only building in the world dedicated to Houdini and has been located in Scranton, Pennsylvania for the past 20 years. Before that the exhibit was in New York City, Houdini’s home for all of his adult life.

David Blaine ‘Dive of Death’ On ABC Featuring Kimbo Slice

Tonight David Blaine will push the limits of the human body once again with his “Dive of Death” two hour special, which airs on ABC beginning at 9 p.m. ET tonight (September 24).Basically he’ll hang upside down by a thin wire, five stories in the air over Wollman Rink in New York City’s Central Park. For three days and three nights (72 hours) he’ll stay suspended from the wire without a safety net of any kind.

No one knows what Blaine has planned for the conclusion of the spectacle, but he usually comes through with something awe inspiring. Plus it’s called the “Dive of Death,” so it has to be something cool, right?Of course, there was that time when he attempted to break the world record for breath holding under water and almost killed himself in the process. That was after living in a small tank of water for a week straight.

Clearly not something done by a normal human being.It’s obvious this guy either has a death wish, or he’s on some kind of super natural shit none of us know about. Either way, it’ll be fun watching.Leading up to the mysterious conclusion of the “Dive of Death” ABC will air footage of Blaine performing various other magic tricks while on a cross country road trip.

One of the stunts Blaine has on tape that will be part of the broadcast will be him showing off his ability to absorb a punch to the stomach from Elite XC heavyweight fighter Kimbo Slice. The stunt is designed as a tribute to Blaine’s hero Harry Houdini, who died from injuries inflicted from punches to the stomach, according to FightLinker.com.That’s one heck of a magic trick. Maybe he didn’t see the guy on YouTube who took a hundred bucks to get tackled by Kimbo in full pads. It didn’t work out so well for him.
