At the Calix users group meeting in Las Vegas. Watched David Blaine drink 1 gallon of water, then 1 pint of something similar to kerosene. Then he spit out the kerosene into a ball of fire and set a fixture on fire. Then he spit out the water to put out the fire. I could feel the heat from the fire as he was blowing it around.
Did some other card stuff that was amazing. I was in the front row. A woman behind me was called up on stage to help him. The trick involved her counting out 10 cards and holding them to her chest. Then he claimed to add 3 cards. He had her count them out and there was 13. Then he had her hold them again to her chest, claiming to add 7 cards and had her count them. There were 20 cards. He never touched her or the cards at any time. When she came back to her seat I overheard her telling her friends that she could feel the cards grow in her hand as she was holding them. Has to be some kind of time release adhesive or temperature release etc. It did actually happen, question is just how. Later he poked an ice pick through his palm. That was real.
