From burying himself alive to spending seven days submerged in a water-filled sphere,Blaine has never blinked.
Now inDo Not Attempt, for the first time in his career, Blaine is giving into his emotions.
Now, audiences are seeing the man behind the mask.
“I had a team, Imagine Documentaries, and they were in charge for the first time.
I didn’t control every little bit of what happened.
That was something completely different than what I’m used to.”
“I’m basically running around screaming, reacting.
It’s something I’ve never really shared ever.
My shows are always me as a magician, and this is almost like me as the spectator.”
Becoming the spectator means being along for the ride without a roadmap.
Throughout his career, Blaine has been able to anticipate.
InDo Not Attempt, he can only improvise.
“It is giving that side of me that I think I try often not to show.”
“Instead, I’m the person reacting, running, and screaming.
There are so many scenes where I’m crying.”
What Allows David Blaine To Remain Creatively Fresh?
23 years later, he still approaches each of his projects with the same enthusiasm.
“The exciting part for me is constantly learning,“Blaine said.
That biggest difference comes in what part of himself that he’s testing.
“You feel the impact of each thing in an entirely different way,“Blaine continued.
We’re in the Arctic Circle going under the ice, but the ice freezes very quickly.
‘What if that hole freezes over and you have to break out?’
I’m like, ‘What?
That’s amazing.’
By the way, it broke my knuckles, breaking through that ice.
It hasn’t recovered yet.”
The learning curve is so fast as well.
But on this, it’s the opposite.”
