I’m asked…to identify 2 David Blaine tricks
I’m asked…
I’m after two David Blaine tricks, I recently saw him perform on his latest
tv show “What is Magic?”
One where he puts a coin in the palm of the Spectators hand. He then marks 3
crosses around the coin on the spectators hand. He then seems to rub the
crosses out with his finger, then they all seem to appear underneath the
coin, to everyones amazement.
The 2nd trick is when he gets someone to think of a card, and then asks them
to eliminate two of the suits. When the spectator names the two suits, let’s
say for instance clubs and spades. He holds the deck and u can actually see
the packs thickness shrink in size leaving the left over two suits in the
pack, the hearts and diamonds, the clubs and spades have vanished from the
deck!!
If you know of the two tricks I am describing, I’d be extremly grateful if u
could tell me, I was totally blown away when I saw them.

I’ve been into David Blaine ever since his first magic special and he has debuted a lot of tricks that hit big in real life. I even went to go see him when he was performing in New York city for his underwater stunt and would have checked his stunt out in the UK had it been possible. The first trick you are looking for is the Doodle Pen. Don’t let the packaging mislead you as this is an awesome trick that can do much more than the one trick David performed. I have one with me right now as a matter of fact.

As for the second trick, I’ve been going crazy trying to find a product available that pulls off the card stunt you are looking for and just can’t seem to find anything close. I’ll keep looking and please let me know if you come across the answer. It could very well be that the trick David pulled off was specially manufactured and not available on the wider market, kind of like a stage illusion.
I can suggest a few other Blaine favorites such as “Strange Travelers” that got him his first tv special or a “Bite Out Quarter”, both very easy to pull off and lots of fun. One of my personal favorites is “Healed and Sealed Soda” which just makes their jaws drop. You should give them a look and please feel free to e-mail any other questions that come up!
