this story is about thw sadest story i ever read

David Blaine - "Magician?"

David Blaine has pulled a number of physically challenging stunts over the years, but are any of these classified as "Magic?"...As in sleight-of-hand, prestidigitation, or even a fancy card trick? I think not. In fact, I severely doubt he performs any of the traditional magic any more, if he ever really did. Oh, maybe as a kid in his basement or backyard, but surely not as an adult professional. Sure, Houdini's tricks were often physically dangerous, but he escaped(!) from some sort of bondage. Blaine merely gets the ice busted from around him, or lowered to the ground and the chains taken off. Physically demanding and dangerous, no doubt, but MAGIC???
