Carlucci Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 In less than 30 minutes on NBC at 8:00 Eastern, a new show will debut featuring a team of street magicians. Actually, according to my TIVO there are 2 30-minute shows back-to-back. Check it out. Looks really cool from the commercials. Carlos.

ChoiceStriker Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 D'oh! That sounds like it had the potential to be really cool, Carlos. Unfortunately I was at the Royals game last night and missed it. Thanks for the heads up, though. What kind of tricks and magicians were on it? Tell me David Blaine didn't make an appearance.

Cyberwoo Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Man I saw a street magician on tv the other week. Wish I could remember his name. Its on the tip of my tongue. Anyway he was really good. His signature trick was the ability to levatate himself. I wish I knew how he pulled that illusion off. I swear it looked real as hell and the peoples reactions were priceless. It freaked everyone out. Argh what was that guys name.... Edit: Originally posted by ChoiceStrikerTell me David Blaine didn't make an appearance. Thats him! I skipped right over that part of your post. Anyway he was on tv the other week and was really good.

ChoiceStriker Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Heh, do you really want to know how he makes himself "levitate"? I'll PM you the answer if you do. It's not as difficult as it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlucci Posted June 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 These were a bunch of newcomers I guess. I watched the first one, and then the local weather interrupted the second one, so I haven't watched the rest of it yet. The illusions were really cool, but the presentation of the show was lacking somehow. Some of the tricks were simple, but others were very elaborate. For example, they did a slight of hand card trick, and a "floating water cup" trick, but they also did trick where a guy makes his own head appear to fall off, and another where I guy goes through a plate glass window. The premise is they do an magic trick in the context of a hidden-camera show, so the audience has no idea they are about to witness a magic trick. Sometimes this works, other times it just seems corny. T.H.E.M. stands for "Totally Hidden Extreme Magic". But, since it's summer, if they keep showing this I will set a season pass and keep watching. It was pretty okay for family entertainment. I watched it with my 8 year old, and he kept insisting they were using computer generated special effects. David Blaine wasn't in this show. I know how he levitates. (at least I think I do) Carlos.

adamsappel Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 I have a friend who is a magician, and he thinks Blaine is a joke. Go into any magic shop and you can buy all his tricks. A friendship with Leonardo Decaprio is more responsible for his success than his abilities. My brother can even do the levitation trick.

Graeme Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Blaine's Levitation, as shown in his specials, is a trick of editing more than anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baiter Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 I want to levitate too. Someone spill the beans. :tu: never mind google tells all. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan_E Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Criss Angel...LOL! At least he isn't as MONOTONE as David Blaine! God, I can't stand how Blaine drones on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
