David Blaine - Fearless

Although I really enjoy David Blaine I haven't been very happy with ANY of his DVD's. In my PERSONAL opinion, I couldn't care LESS about all the major "show off" routines he pulls...such as burying himself alive, living encased in ice for days. standing on a beam for weeks, etc etc etc. I want to see all the STREET MAGIC!!!! That's why I like him! All the other stuff is just done by having the right mindset and "training" and has NOTHING to do with actual magic! Unfortunately there is very little street magic on ANY of his discs!! Yes, they have some of his street magic but it only applies to about 20% of what is on the discs. The rest is all the other crap he wants to show off...expecting us to be impressed. I'm not. If you like all the stunts he pulls then perhaps you will like his DVDs....if not and you like more street magic like me then you will be very disappointed in any and ALL of his discs! Sorry Blaine....

I have to admit that I had never heard of David Blaine before. My husband wanted this for a birthday present so I bought it for him. I watched this show with him and was surprised that I liked it as much as I did being the sceptic that I am. David did some pretty awesome tricks and we are still trying to figure out how some of them could have been done. Some tricks seemed a little hokey but it was still very entertaining. I think this show would be suitable for the whole family as well. I am looking forward to another show to be released soon on DVD so I can buy it. Enjoy!

This move is fascinating. Some of David Blaine's magic you may have seen elsewhere but some of it is simply astonishing. I don't want to give away any of the specifics but this is a movie you'll find yourself "rewinding" to watch something one more time to try to figure out, "How can he do that?!". But, that's only 1/2 of his story - the rest is in his tests of human endurance and finding the boundaries of what he can do. Between this movie and one other, we see him perform these feats - he buries himself alive, he stays entombed in ice for days on end, and stands 10 stories above ground for a couple of days with no food, no water - simply perched on a platform that looked to be, at most, 2' x 2'. Amazing. I loved it.

My purchase of the David Blaine-Fearless DVD was one the best buys I have made from CDNOW.com. I purchased David Copperfields' Illusions DVD last year and it does stand a chance to this new young phenominom. Although I was not personally present while David entertained people, I saw with my own eyes, this guy lift off the ground on several occations and it is absolutly incredible. I am, what one would call a pretty normal person but like many people, I beleive in UFO's and I beleive this guy has something to do with another existance. Perhaps, he was abducted by Aliens and they gave him this special gift, I don't know, but I do know that he has to be the first human being with the potetial to learn how to fly without out help. This DVD is now become my personal treasure. I will show it to everyone who visit's my house.

It seems like David Blaine does standard old-school tricks like biting the quarter in half or sleight-of-hand card switches in order to make his more mind-blowing illusions seem a little less spooky. I have read the editorials by magicians debunking some of his more pedestrian tricks but I haven't read any plausible explanations on how he managed to aid the guy in buying the winning $1600 lottery ticket (don't tell me they cut out the footage of hundreds of losing tickets) or managed to drop a woman's ring into a sewer grate and then find it minutes later inside a tiny liquor bottle on the ground behind the crowd of onlookers. There are at least a dozen of these "tricks" on the DVD that are absolutely astonishing. He is an unworldly character and the video is an outstanding document of his abilities.

I saw bits and pieces about david Blaine in the news from his NY stunt. So I decided to buy this one. Now understand I am one of the people who love magic. People go to Las Vegas to gamble I go to watch the magic shows. After seeing this DVD I was very impressed with the level of skills David has. Although he does many card tricks that are stunning and unexplainable and he does them with people on the street and celebrities like the dallas cowboys, He also does some supernatural stuff. If there is paranormal or spiritual tricks where physics don't apply then this guy does them.I watched it many times and gave it to my sister to watch with her kids(14, 12 and 9) and they like it so much they won't return it to me. This is a great product for the money.

If you have never seen David Blaine and like to see the most incredible magic (if you can call it that) than you are sure to love Blaine's Fearless. He takes you through his three specials as well as never-before-seen footage and you are amazed at each turn and feat. If you have seen some of his previous work than you really need to add this piece to your collection and continue to be amazed at David's gift of Illusion. I used to think that he was very quick and well-versed but now I believe that he has a true gift and the things that he is able to do are not explainable by simple visual imagery. If you are a doubter than I encourage you to pick this up and ask yourself, "how does he do it?" - you will be amazed, I was.

David Blaine - "Fearless" is a must have for anyone who has the slightest interest in Magic. His magic is up close and this DVD clearly shows himself as one of the worlds greatest magicians. There is plenty of footage and nonstop action. Each trick will leave you shaking your head in amazement. His tricks will never get old and this DVD will make an outstanding addition to anybody's DVD collection to watch over and over again.For the true David Blaine fans I recommend purchasing his book "Mysterious Stranger" along with this video. In the book he reveals how hid did a couple, not all, of the tricks on this DVD. It also reveals how he got into magic and how he begame the man he is today.

Awesome product. Happy with all!

fearless - tzufrieden all ok danke kann leider nicht auf meinem pc ansehen - amerikanisches laufwerk nötig, schade aber danke

舞台はストリート。道行く人をつかまえて次々と鮮やかな手品を見せつける若手マジシャン、デビッド・ブレイン。数年前NHKでも放送された、米TVの特番を3つまとめたビデオです。やっぱ反応のいい人たちばかりを編集したんだろうけど、叫び声を上げたり、眼をむいて絶句したり、思わず放送禁止の言葉を発したり（ピー音）と、現象を目の当たりにした人たちの反応がバラエティに富んでいて、大笑いしちゃいます。何の心構えもない人が、手品を見せられるうちに、だんだんと、興味→驚き→興奮→→→恐怖！と、彼を見る目が変わっていく様子とか。なんてドラマチックなんだろう。しっかし、目の前で見てみたいなあ～。

褒めちぎっている人もいますが、私は内容には大いに不満あり、でした。確かに彼のストリートマジックはなかなか素晴らしいものでしたが、同じトリックの繰り返しにはマンネリ感が漂います。彼の演技もあまりにも大げさすぎて、かえってひいてしまいました。まだしも、セロのほうがましと思えました。

デビットのシンプルなマジックは誰が見ても魅了されるはず。とにかく凄い！
