Oh, he's got some of the best minds in magic working for him. The tricks are beautiful. Stunning. Wonderful. The patter? Not the case
I never liked the kind of patter where the magician just goes over what he's doing. "Is that it? Oh, that's not it? Here, I'll rip it up, cause it was a mistake. Hold that." I fail to see any imagination, creativity or emotion in that performance. If he wasn't David Blaine and he just submitted the performance to the Media section here, I'm sure you'd all be saying the same thing.
PS- Am I the only one who laughed out load at David's acting skills from 00:13 to 00:18? LOL!
EDIT: If anyone disagrees with me (I know there are Blaine fanatics here. They're everywhere
), please note that this was just my opinion and that I am not going to argue about it.
