Blaine-ia!

After the David Blaine special last night (which I missed, since I had a show to do myself), I knew that my email box would be flooded with advertisements with phrases like "as seen on David Blaine's special" and "as performed by David Blaine."

Sure enough, a litany of magic blogs have posted the breakdown of David's magic effects from the show. So, I thought it might be helpful to the dealers to know what is available to them.

Silver Impression: Alex Lourido's brilliant version of melting a coin in your hands.

The Raven: As seen on David's first special, you can create a true moment of astonishment as a coin vanishes from a spectator's open palm. Many effects are possible!

Bending Metal DVD: You will learn how to bend, forks, spoons, keys, coins, and much more.
This DVD will show you how to use all of the powers in a magician's arsenal including timing and misdirection to perform these mental miracles.

Twisting Arm Illusion: An excellent impromptu effect that can play very well in the guerilla magic environment. Freak some people out with this!

Rising Cards: Always a classic, the Rising Cards effect has spawned many methods, but it's hard to beat this one. Also, check out our (Almost) Impromptu Rising Cards, using a borrowed deck!
