10pm EST on ABC.

David Blaine: Beyond Magic.

Prepare for blown minds.

 

[Luigi87]

Watching now.

 

[Victory Red]

First trick was impressive. I don't like all the cutting to different scenes. I like to try and watch the slight of hand.

 

[Luigi87]

Yeah, the constant jumping around between the various celebrity houses bugs me, but that's how the 2013 special was done as well IIRC.

 

[SuperSamyon]

Too many commercials.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

i made a thread about his 2013 special last week after seeing it for the first time because the tricks baffled me but i was told that everyone is just in on it and that's how he does it. meh

 

[Luigi87]

Too many commercials.

Seriously @_@

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

That weird intro was some Doctor Strange shit.

I don't like the constant cuts between celebs. I did like Patrick Stewart's reaction to the card trick.

Hate this especially about how his specials are edited, but I don't really see another way to do this without wasting time, and it's a necessary evil for the purpose it serves IMO.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

That fucking gagging is making me gag.

No Slo-Mo on the gun trick come on Definitely a blank and he's already got the bullet in his mouth

 

[commedieu]

Holy shit..magic isn't real?!!!!???!??

Jesus. It's entertainment.

 

[The Main Event]

Was that the BET party Dave Chappelle was talking about in his SNL monologue?

Jesus. It's entertainment.

lol yeah it should be entertaining, but so far it's not because the card tricks and mind reading shit is completely lame and obvious with the editing and celebs acting shit out. At least they are more creative with their trickery at magic shows.

The frog shit was ok but I already saw that in his tonight show appearance.

No, he was talking about the BET's 'Obama Block Party at the White House', the Blaine special was at Drake's house it looked like. The Obama block party aired tonight on BET.

Cool special, I don't really like david blaine but goddamn I have no idea how the fuck he did any of that shit. Watching Drake, Chapelle, etc react was awesome.

There's the slow-mo. Dude's crazy.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

Lol, so this was a promo to get people to go to his show to see if he dies.

 

[Kibbles]

Now we got a show

 

[backflip10019]

Man I wish there were 2 more hours to this show. Felt so short with commercials.

 

[Hellix]

Lol, so this was a promo to get people to go to his show to see if he dies.

If I do 25 shows, I have a 50 percent chance of success," he says. "For 45 shows, it's 26 percent. For 100 shows around the world, I have a less than five percent chance of succeeding, for something not to go wrong.

The guy is insane.

 

[Mighty Chin]

Emma Stone looked fine.



I'm a bit thirsty.

 

[jett]

I can't believe he's still doing his fake street reactions shenanigans.
