DAVID BLAINE’S

MAGIC TRICKS

REVEALED!

The purpose of this text is not to abruptly reveal David’s tricks; any good magic fan

will certainly be able to understand most techniques used by the performer. It is

mainly to remind people that David Blaine is not some kind of new super hero but

simply a good (and yes, a very good) entertainer working to perform good magic

tricks and only tricks, but he sometimes (often?) forgets to say it. Needless to say that

he is working with a team and has counsellors that counts amongst the best

illusionists, mentalists & cardicians in the world. Most of the tricks revealed can be

found in magic shops or in the many magic books sold throughout the world.

THE BALDUCCI LEVITATION

Preface

According to Mike Close in his

"Marketplace" column in the June 1997

issue of Magic Magazine, " . . . all the

current self-levitations have their basis

in two articles published by Karl Fulves.

The first titled "Impromptu Levitation"

can be found in the July

1974 issue of the Pallbearer's Review

(Volume 9, Number 9, page 755.) Ed

Balducci is credited in the article, but he

explains that he was shown the method

by Erwin Levine, who was one of the

Harmonicats. Mr. Levine had no idea

who the originator was."

A Quick Note About David Blaine

As mentioned above, David Blaine is

not the originator of this illusion. He has

made the illusion popular, once again,

with his recent television special,

"David Blaine: Street Magic." The

unfortunate reality is, however, that we

never really get to see Blaine

performing the Balducci Levitation. We

watch several times as Blaine performs

it for others, but we never get to see it

for ourselves.

For the television special, Blaine

performed the Balducci levitation in

front of several different groups of

people, and the camera was there to

catch their reaction. The method he used

for this is the Balducci method,

described below. While videotaping

these various performances, the

producers keyed in on the audience

members with the most visual reaction.

After the Balducci levitation, the

producers of the show had these same

people stand by for another taping of the

illusion - this time the camera would

shoot from behind the audience

members to get a

clear view of Blaine in action. The

audience members were told that this

second performance was to show them

how magicians could use wires to

levitate. And this is exactly what

happened. A small harness and rig (just

out of camera view) was set up and

Blaine performed a standard wire-

suspension.

What Blaine did was a camera trick -

known as a post-production edit. The

audience at home watched the second

(wire suspension) levitation

performance, with the audience reaction

of the real levitation edited in. It was

said, in the television special, that no

strings or wires were used to perform

Blaine's levitation. This is true, no wires

or strings are required. Unfortunately,

we never got to see Blaine's real

levitation:

WE SAW A WIRE-SUSPENSION !

:-(

Balducci Levitation - Description

Figue 1

The Balducci Levitation is an illusion

that can be performed almost anywhere,

anythime. It uses no wires, strings, rigs,

camera tricks, etc.

The illustrations at the right show you

the audience point-of-view.

This is a highly restrictive, angle-

sensitive trick. You have to practice

your angles over and over to get used to

them. One bad angle or position and the

illusion is blown!

In the television special "David Blaine:

Street Magic" they show everyone

having 'cows' over Blaine's levitation.

What they don't show you are the

countless times Blaine screwed the trick

up. It is easy to get a bad angle - even

more so when you're performing for

several people.

Figure 1 shows the start of the illusion.

Stand about 8 to 10 feet away from the

audience at a 45° 'backward' angle (as

shown in figure 1). You pause . . . and

then slowly start to float (figure 2). You

rise 3 to 5 inches off of the ground

before you suddenly "crash" back down

to the ground.

When performed correctly, this is about

as close to "real" magic as you'd ever

want to get.
