Justin’s levitating for food post sparked my interest in David Blaine. Blaine is a street magician who I’ve seen do some impressive tricks on TV, and I too wanted to learn how he did them.

I don’t care for the floating stars on the page but David Blaine Style Street Magic revealed several secrets. Like Justin, I was disappointed by their simplicity. Couldn’t they be more complicated? I feel daft having been fooled by them and thinking they were incredible. Sometimes I wish I’d left it a mystery, but then again, I’m very curious. The problem is that now that I understand how it’s done, it’s no longer entertaining.
