Magic career
Overview
David Blaine began his career with street magic, performing card tricks and illusions such as levitating or bringing dead flies back to life. He started doing magic at a very young age, encouraged by his mother every step of the way. His mother later died due to ovarian cancer. Later in life he used a small camera crew to record his act live in front of everyday people. This act provided the basis for his television specials, David Blaine: Street Magic, David Blaine: Magic Man, and David Blaine: Mystifier.He later turned his attention to feats of endurance; these included being buried alive for seven days, spending 61 hours encased in ice, standing on a tiny, 22 inch (56 cm) wide platform at the top of a 90 foot (27 m) high pole for 35 hours, living in a transparent box for 44 days without food, and living underwater for 7 days.
