Street magic with Mikey Day emulating David Blaine

I know the subject of Blaine has been absolutely beaten to death and back. For that I apologize in advance. I would like to offer some insight into his success and the feelings other magicians have for Mr. Blaine.

The reason magician's do not like David Blaine is they feel many many more magicians are more deserving of his success. Magicians like Michael Ammar, Bill Malone, Dai Vernon, Ed Marlo, THESE should be the household names, not David Blaine.

First of all, David is a businessman. A very good one as well. He developed a plan to successfully market his magic to ABC executives and did so. So in other words Blaine marketed his product rather than focusing on making his product better than anyone else's.

To give you an example of this I have been asked the question before: can you make a hamburger better than mcdonalds? Yes of course, anyone can. But, can you create a more efficient business plan than the McDonalds corporation? No, I don't think so. But I don't go around screaming "no fair I can make better hamburgers than mcdonalds" which essentially is what the magic community is saying about David.

So here are a bunch of magicians claiming David does not deserve his success. On the other hand David created a great business plan, marketed it to ABC so I believe he DOES deserve his success, as is often the case, strategy is more important than product.

It's no accident McDonalds is the most successful and profitable food franchise in the world. So essentially I'm saying David Blaine is the McDonalds of magicians, and I definitely don't mean that in a bad way. David did not "get lucky" and fall into his success. And magician's have a problem with that. We should be congratulating David instead of tearing him down.

Greetings and Salutations,

I agree with you completely. David Blaine is a marketing genius. He planned his work and worked his plan to great success. He paid his dues along the way, and I thank him for introducing a whole new audience to magic.

Now that that's out of the way, and speaking strictly for myself, the problem I have is the blainiacs who cannot distinguish between inspiration and emulation. There is already one David Blaine, and the problem, in my humble opinion, is the imitators who accost the public with poorly performed bitten coins, two-card montes, levitations of various stripes and other bits of guerilla magic.

There's nothing wrong with being inspired by Blaine, we were all inspired by someone, the problem is copying, or more accurately, poorly copying the original.

That's my $.02 (USD) worth.

Make magic happen, live a great adventure!

If Michael Ammar was on Tv instaed of Blaine There would still be all the imitators do biten coin and levitations.

First of all, I have to agree with magiulysses comments about novice copycats who try to perform in a way completely out of their range. I'm not some veteran pro magician who can put others down though, I'm 17 and still in practice with even the fundementals of magic, but then again I'm honest with myself and don't go off doing the street stuff with just a mix of cards, props, and a hefty dose of temporary blaine inspiration.
I don't see blaine as some business guy, though. I'm more proud of him for not being as abnoxious and eccentric as most of these other big stage/close up casino acts. I was soo relieved when I saw his first street special. I thought "finally I can watch a guy working with people who doesn't even want to be grand or spectacular". when I look back at the other tv specials showing off all these vegas acts I get sick to my stomach!! looking at these corny pretty boy hollywood types with their frickin haircuts and exagerated facial expressions, it almost makes me feel bad that their advertising themselves as the stereotypes for magic, shiny shirts and all.
so good on you david blaine. he might not be as technically accomplished as some others out there, but at least hes not a ham actor/magician. I feel blaine does it as an honest expression, and to me that's much more important.

your views please.

I have been doing magic for ten years and I am not a stranger to the Balduchi Levitition, bitten and restored coins etc., etc, I'm sorry and please disagree w/ me if you think I'm wrong about this but David Blain should not be on TV, sure for his "stunts" but not for his magic, he does TWO tricks that impress the hell out of me, one, I know how to do and have been practicing for a year and still can't get and two, the torn deck of cards, I like the trick (stunt?) whatever, and would really love to know how to do it. I am 15 years old and already an acomplished stage magician and "self made freak"(fire eater, human blockhead, pain proof boy etc.)and very well known in my area, sure David is a marketing genius. but that's about it.

"all these vegas acts I get sick to my stomach!! looking at these corny pretty boy hollywood types with their frickin haircuts and exagerated facial expressions, it almost makes me feel bad that their advertising themselves as the stereotypes for magic, shiny shirts and all."
I agree partly, the shiny shirts all of that other stuff I really could do without, but look at Blain he uses really over dramatic faces that looks as if he is having a seziur(sorry I'm a horrid speller )
PLUS he is doing over the counter tricks that any layperson could get and fully understand without any difficulty, the performers in vegas have spent millions on their stage shows and are spectacular and amazing. 11I also might add David Blain IS AN ACTOR he admits so in his first book(which was kind of a waste)
BTW street magic is nothing new if you live in New York city or any other big city there is a magician on every other street corner trying to make a living and they are a hell of a lot better the Mr. Blain
Thank you that was my soap box,
Brett
