David Blain in his new show and how he finds magic in every destination

Blaine has Enduro bicycles on both coasts, and benefits from the free motorcycle parking known to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and John Kennedy International Airport from New York City (JFK). The pictures settle on both sides of his bike so that he remembers exactly where he stopped them. “I have been doing it now 30 years ago – it’s always good,” he said.

Plain Airport is simply evidence that for him, there is always a way to challenge the possibilities through observation, strategy and accurate practice. It is a philosophy kept during the travel of 105,240 miles across 33 airports in 11 countries across five continents for the National Geographic Sixth Series of Six -Parts David Blain: Don’t tryWhich started broadcast on April 6.

It was filmed over three years, and the New Yorker exhibition is depth in cultures all over the world, from Southeast Asia to Brazil. Along the way, he met the local population colleagues in risk to understand their skills groups. He also took a series of new exciting works, such as kissing a deadly snake, covered in 59 scorpions, and placing a knife under its nasal clips.

He said: “Everyone we met along the way was all masters.” “They all put thousands and thousands of hours of work, sweat, tears, injuries, failures, and start again to make what they did look like magic.”

Each destination had surprises and pleasure. He was obsessed with the book.Swami talisman“When he was a child, he learned how to pay the border during his time in India,” he said about his visits to Coruchchcra, Rehechikish. Jaipur. “In the past, I went to India to perform magic. This time, I went to India to learn and be a student of a different kind of magic.”

In South Africa, it was detonated by a man named Nepel Kawazolo NatalSouth Africa, which contemplates quietly around Black Mambas to demonstrate that the safety of the snake revolves around preserving calm. He also visited Cape Town Magic CollegeWho taught magic for a variety of children for decades, even the laws of apartheid during the country’s apartheid period.

For Blain, one of the most exciting seasons on his trips was to learn about spinning, where cars are woven “out of control, but very specifically.” Blin said that his jaw fell when he saw Your “Sam” thumbHodeni’s trick from the disappearance of the car and when he saw Kayla OlivantThe “slide suicide” where it tends from a car, only holds her toes.

In Japan, he was in contact with the Hot Dog hero who eats Takeru Kobayashi. It was stunned when he learned that Kobayshi uses some techniques themselves during the competitions that Blin uses during his magic shows. Blin said: “He looks at his stomach like Tetris and puts food in it.”

But if there is one place that it recommends every visit to the traveler, this is the Arctic circle. “We have found many people who used their environment, climate and maximum conditions to turn it into a field,” said Blin. “I was under the ice as I looked at these ice -free divers with their breath, dance upside down, and suddenly you forgot that you are in this extreme environment and forget the cold. It is another world.”

But there are a lot that the cameras were unable to capture them – Blin says that the entire crew had been somewhat transferred to it in tears. “Everywhere we went, it was a new exploration and a discovery of these wonderful people who have pushed themselves so far to learn these skills,” he said. “It was different from anything I had ever passed. I was the person who was watching magic for the first time.”

The accuracy and planning that go to each of the Bigin works that challenge reality is something that he uses in his daily life and planning. For example, he showed us the packing menu that he uses on each one trip: he took a picture of 23 elements with which he always travels, shorten them in small skin, and screen screenshots to use as a visual reference menu.

Among his passport requirements, chargers, hygiene supplies, eye drops, apple clock, sunglasses, reading glasses, notebook, and Sharpies. His clothes are somewhat simple-black jeans, black shirts, underwear, socks, swimming, and baseball cap. The most important? Multiple floors of cards.

He said: “Every journey is largely identical, but if you are traveling for a longer period, I will have more floors from cards daily.” Blain says he uses specially designed floors created for the right feeling – and they also have magic features. In fact, during the production of his latest series, 624 floors of cards have passed.

After moving all over the world to learn from her colleagues in Dave Dresss, Blain was rooting himself with a stay in Win Las Vegas to show him.David Blain: Live in Las Vegas“With dates until November.

Blin says he loves Las Vegas Because it offers, “a dose of everything from all different places around the world in a small spot in the desert.” But his favorite thing about Sin City is that a lot of magicians live there. “After each show, I always go to the brainstorming and wandering with magicians,” he said.

This is the same lesson that he took from a variety of applicants who met him on his journey all over the world for Don’t try.

“They are all masters in what they do, but what they share with all is that they are all students,” said Blin. “They are always trying to learn and become better in what they are doing. Passion is their driving power, and they do it at a high level so that nothing will prevent them at all.”

It is clear that nothing stops Blin, too.
