    Doug Henning's more my speed.... lol.
    "Anything's possible in the world of illusions"

    No, Blaine's vertigo thing was just a test of endurance, no magic or illusion involved. I tell ya what though, that guy like catheters or something... he used one for his ice trick and he used one again for this pole standing thing...

    What was cool was his street magic.

    The "empty then full beer" was good.
    The "concentrate on the wine glass" trick was cool.
    The "your watch was on your wrist and now it's in a jewelry store window" trick was neat-o.

    eh... he's entertaining, looks a little like Chris Cornell too...

    Did you guys see the "turn coffee into coins" trick he did during one of the street segments? That was just freaky! No camera cuts, no hiding techniques. They just showed the coffee turning into spare change. Now, how the HELL did he do that one??

    Also, that reaching through the Jewelry store glass was just...damn, that was cool. :)

    The snake eating thing was cool, but I knew he had something up his sleeve, did you see the sleeves?! They were all the way past his wrists. Probably had a fake licorice snake in there.


    80 feet is about 3 stories? I could do it.:cool:

    I can't explain it, but man that was a cool illusion. Basically he went up to this homeless guy sitting on the sidewalk and took his hot coffee, removed the lid, placed his hands underneath and on the sides of the cup, slowly the coffee level decreased to reveal a cup full of coins!! That was one freaky illusion!!

    The greatest illusion of all: Blaine was dating Josie Maran (sp?)

    Generally (architects, building engineersm correct me if I am wrong) 10 feet is one story, therefore 80 feet would be 8 stories.
