while i agree with almost everything Penn said, i would make a separate point. Blaine's stunts to me have never been presented as magic, at least not the ones like holding his breath, or being living underwater, rather undertakings unto himself to push the boundaries of human abilities. This always seemed very reminiscent of Houdini to me and i think David was very much inspired by that, but i dont recall him presenting them "as magic" per say. With that said it would be nice to see them separated especially in the media, however that would undoubtedly lower the attention that one or both of them would get. With that said, the one thing i have always enjoyed about David's specials, the magic part at least was the very little editing used. With the exception of his levitations, i can only recall perhaps two effects that editing MAY have been necessary to convey the given result, and furthermore having seen those specials and seeing the blooper real where he does mess up or goof off i feel David is FAR less guilty than Criss in this regard, but i can still understand where Penn is coming from, Ultimately i will always prefer seeing magic live especially Close-up.
