Real or Magic??
When pondering the idea of what my #Dodd5 blog post would be, I could only think of the recent special I watched on ABC that blew my mind. David Blaine has been known to blow your mind whether or not you're a skeptic or not. In his new special on ABC, "David Blaine: Real or Magic", he performs the majority of his so called "tricks" on a number of celebrities and even past President George Bush. I believe that he chose to perform his tricks on celebrities and presidents to increase his credibility and to make people actually believe.

The above link is one of his tricks where he turns a $1 into a $100. You can tell by there reaction that they truly believe that is was real.

Aziz Ansari makes a segment of his new comedy special about how African-American react to magic tricks, and it is pretty spot on.
The most remarkable "trick" or "illusion", whatever you want to call it, that David did was the one with Harrison Ford. David had him pick a card and had him try to find it in the deck, which he couldn't. David instructed Harrison to pick up a random fruit and cut it open. KAZAAM!!! What do you know, Harrison card was rolled up inside the fruit. After the trick was over, Harrison was so astonished he asked David politely, or as polite as you can, "to get the f*ck out of my house". His reaction was priceless and you could tell that he just made him a believer.
Whether or not you believe in magic, David Blaine is a truly remarkable person. The thing that really gets me, which is almost better, is if this isn't a trick, how on earth did he think of this. If you ever come across this special, I advise to watch it. It is truly mind-blowing and will forever get your mind thinking about, "How did he do this, it's impossible."
