Lightning,
I saw the Blaine special last night. This guy has to be the craziest mother in the world. He apparently had been standing on a 100 foot tall, 22 inch wide pillar for almost 2 days, without sleeping, eating or drinking.
Last night he jumped off of it into a pile of cardboard boxes at the end of his latest magic special.
This is two years after he spent three days encased in ice in Times Square and three years after he was buried alive for 5 days or something.
He's Satan. If not, he has to be at least Satan's son. Everyone of his specials blows me away, but the one when he went to Cowboys' training camp and scared the piss out of Deion Sanders was the best ever.
One that had me up at nights...
He walks into a bar and approaches a few people sitting at the bar with their backs to the bar (confused yet?). He takes out a deck of cards and has one of the girls writer her name on a card. She puts the card back in the deck and he throws them into the air. He looks around the floor for a bit then asks the girl to hand him a bottle of beer that's sitting on the bar behind her. Inside the bottle of beer is the card she wrote her name on.
Another one...
He walks into a restaraunt and joins a group of 4 (maybe 5) people at a table. He pulls out a new deck of cards and tells some guy to pull out a card and show it to everybody but him. The guy places the card back in the deck and Blaine asks him to shuffle it up. After shuffling, the guy spreads them out, face down, on the table almost to where they're covering the table. Blaine gets a menu and places it face down over the cards. He takes a knife and stabs it through the menu then picks up the table and shakes off the cards that aren't stabbed with the knife. The one card that stays is the card the guy pulled out.
Yet another one...
He walks up to two girls on the street and asks them to to pick a card out of a deck. He places the cards back into the box and hands the box to one of the girls. He asks the girl to think of the card she pulled then the card starts to rise up by itself (Blaine's standing off to the side).
