I was unsure as to where to put this thread, so Mods, please put where you feel it is best suited.
I was wondering about your thoughts on David Blaine. Have you watched his stuff on TV? In flipping the channels last night, I came across his magic show. Now, my grandfather was a Christian magician in Chicago, and did youth rallies with magic tricks that all had a gospel message fit into it.
However, what David Blaine does does not seem to be illusion. It seems to be seriously messed up, crazy magic. My wife is convinced he is possessed by a devil or Satan, based on what he is capable of doing. I don't think that because of my theological beliefs regarding demons and demon possession today, but then again, what he does is very confusing to me. It's not slight of hand stuff. It's open hand, cards disappearing, bending quarters with his hand type stuff.
Thoughts?
