I am not afraid to admit that I am a HUGE fan of David Blaine. My parents used to tell me about how
great the specials were and every time they would come on TV, my parents would have me watch. This
was a BIG factor in causing me to stick with magic, and so not only is this DVD a fantastic
collection of good street magic specials, but also a great DVD of reminiscing of when I was a kid.
I really like David's magic and he really revolutionized the way that we saw it on TV. He
pushed the envelope and really is someone to be respected.
This DVD is worth it's weight in
gold. Highly recommended.
If you are like me and really enjoy watching David Blaine perform, then this is a great DVD. It is
his first two television specials on DVD. This isn't an instructional video though but still fun to
watch. David Blaine was a reason I got into magic (probably like many magicians) and even now when I
see it, it inspires me. Pick up this DVD and you'll really enjoy it.
If you are a fan or respect the work of Blaine you will like this DVD. You will not learn magic here
but you will have the classic street magic performed by by him. There are things to learn from this
DVD and I still find it entertaning to watch from time to time. A nice addition to your DVD library.
We all have to thank David Blaine, for making magic what it is today, you want inspiration watch
this. Yeah we all know the tricks and all, but no one has done it like this. Magic at it's finest
and purest.
One of my most favorite things to do in magic now, is not to learn. It's actually just watching
other people perform. THis inspires me to go out and do what I love doing the most. Obviously,
performing. It's just incredible to watch David get such good reactions from random strangers.
THe production value of this is great. Crystal clear, shot professionally, real time
performances. I only saw 2 of David's specials, and one of which hooked me on magic so to watch the
guy who inspired me is incredible. I'm sure from a performance aspect of this DVD, you will love it.
It's even just fun to watch at random times to get you going again like I do
Overall, I
would give this a 5 because there isn't much to go by to go less. It's simple, fun, and
inspirational, like I said. Good work!
David Blaine's Fearless DVD is a showcase of his first 3 televised magical performances with
everyday, normal (some not, haha) people on the street and it really kick started and reignited the
embers for performing magic for strangers and using the world as your stage. I'm not going to lie
and say this didn't change my point of view or how I wanted to approach magic. He completely blew me
away, as well as the spectators with his own unique style of approaching strangers and showing them
something I don't think they will ever forget.
Almost all of the effects performed can be
purchased, so an aspiring young magician who watched this and then wanted to learn the arts of
magic, David Blaine was the man to do so. Ever since then, there have been others who have attempted
to try and do what does when it comes to magic, but they just don't have the same impact or the real
drive to walk the streets of America and astonishing people all at the same time. So I highly
suggest buying this if you don't already own it. You learn just one card effect, which is done so by
the DVD menu, but regardless, if you're a fan of magic or a magician and has yet to see any of these
performances, buy this right now!
