I saw a special on tv that showed how they did the ice trick...

Maybe we can convince them we can turn lead into gold as well!

JR have your pointing wizard hat?

Been doing illusions for about 3 years now and am very fortunate to be working as an Illusionist now and I throughly enjoy it

So that being said I have a little first hand knowledge

Illusions are what performers like myself or any of the famous performers you could name do
The Magic is what happens in the audience's eyes and mind when they view and enjoy your illusions

Ergo the performer is just the show, the audience/your subjects are the magic

David Blaine is an excellent/brilliant performer. Many of the illusions he does are very simple (I do a few of the same ones myself with little twists)

Few if anyone in the past 30 years has done as much to bring attention to performing Illusions as David Blaine has. In that respect all working Illusionists owe David Blaine a debt of gratitude

Many diehard (so called( "magicians" dislike Blaine, in most cases it is simply jealousy because Blaine has earned renown and they are still struggling (truthfully many of these "jealous magicians" I've met are lacking in charisma and personality to obtain the level of success Blaine has)

Other "magicians" feel Blaine has exposed too much - I feel exactly the opposite. By "exposing" or using easy illusions Blaine has pushed the world of Illusion and performers. If someone knows the trick(s) you must come up with something new and different

Beyond the street magic Blaine has done I didn't care for the suspended box thing
