Excerpt: David Blaine (born David Blaine White; April 4, 1973) is an American illusionist and endurance artist. He is best known for his high-profile feats of endurance, and has made his name as a performer of street and close-up magic. He has set and broken several world records. Theatre owner James Nederlander as well as The New York Times have referred to Blaine as a modern day Houdini. He has also been called a "Houdini wanna-be" by the New York Daily News. Blaine was born David Blaine White in Brooklyn, New York and is of Puerto Rican descent on his father's side, and Russian Jewish on his mother's. His mother, Patrice Maureen White (19461995), was a school teacher living in New York, and his father William Perez was a Vietnam veteran. When he was four years old, he saw a magician performing magic on the subway. This sparked an interest in Blaine. He was raised by his single mother and attended many schools in Brooklyn. When he was ten years old, his mother married John Bukalo and they moved to Little Falls, New Jersey, where he attended Passaic Valley Regional High School. He has a half-brother named Michael James Bukalo. When he was 17 years old, Blaine moved to Manhattan, New York.

Uninspired Work
This book is a waste of money. As a matter of fact, you can find ALL of the tricks explained in this book on YouTube. By downloading the video, I can even explain all the tricks to you.

Shame on Herbert for putting a book out such as this and violating the Magician's Code. I have absolutely no respect for this book. If everyone wrote books like this, illusions would not be half as fun.

WOW, this is pure dynomite (did I spell it right)
David Blaine and his magic is secret no more.

What a way to go!

Buy this book before someone manages to get it off the shelves, it is hot. ... Read more

Confusing
It is very unclear what this product is, who wrote it or who published it.

Is this a book by Houdini or an expose of Blain and Copperfield

I need more information before I could consider buying it.
