Thanks for that link... one of the funnier webvids I've seen in awhile.

Now, that's what making a YouTube vid is all about!

I should have titled this "David Blaine Tribute/Parody Video."

I think a couple minor changes it could have been absolute perfection. The first line doesn't sound like Blaine. The last line should have been cut ("I'm going to effing sue you if you put this on YouTube," or whatever he said). Blaine's callback to "wait until they get home and find what's in their..." was nearly perfect. Also, the guys who played the flamboyant spectators... they should have told us who is who (even though it makes no difference to the vast majority of people). Those guys did most of the acting, had most of the face time, and were compelling their reactions. Idiot 1 and Idiot 2... they're just shortchanging themselves. We know one character's name is Evan, so they could have been more specific. If this were a recurring sketch on Saturday Night Live, it'd probably be more compelling with the two idiots rather than Blaine.

Also, which is sorely missed is Blaine's "watch, watch".....

I thought it was great. I love the way the guy playing Blaine turns and stares at the camera every time he finished an effect

Loved it.

Now Criss Angel needs one.

The two parady-ers could have a magic battle; cheesiest one wins.

I object.
