known for capturing the world's
imagination with his high-profile feats
David Blaine has set and broken several
world records the man famous for both
his mystifying Street magic and his
larger-than-life endurance stunts he has
the ability to impress anyone with his
cool personality so being his famous
frog trick or biting a metal coin in
half hello and welcome back and today
we're gonna peek behind the curtain and
unlock the top secrets behind David
Blaine's greatest magic tricks of all
time so let's get started
at number 7 biting a coin in half this
is one of David Blaine's most famous
Street magic tricks in this trick David
asked some ladies for a quarter coin one
of the ladies finds a coin and hands it
over to David he also talks something
about the change in consistency of the
metals and tells them if you squeeze a
piece of metal it heats out Ethan brings
the quarter close to his mouth and to
the shock of everyone around him he
bites a half chunk out of a solid coin
now that's crazy but the trick wasn't
finished yet
when he holds the remaining half of the
coin in his hand and all of a sudden
spits the half which was in his mouth
over that coin the coin is suddenly
restored to its original state as if
nothing happened at all so how did he do
it well here's the secret and you can
easily figure it out once you know the
inner workings of the coin yes the trick
involves a gimmick coin used by David
the coin is made up of two parts held
together by elastic bands and it has the
mechanism to be folded so it looks like
one half of the coin has disappeared
David first secretly swaps the original
coin for the gimmick special one and
then acts as if he's biting it well he
actually just folds it then he shows the
rigged coin to the ladies and then just
acts suspicions piece back
during this act he simply lets the
folded half of the coin jump back into
its original place and that's how the
magic happened at number six the insane
card trick
David blamed the man known for his
amazing job breaking magic feats
this time he chose to do a simple card
trick on Ellen's show he first calls
upon a girl from the audience to make
the trick even more interesting he takes
a deck of cards and asked Selin to
choose any card at random and sign over
it he then places the card between the
deck and shuffles it many times and
allows that to stay in between Ellen's
palms then he asks that girl to say any
random number and the girl chooses 13
David then asks to tech the 13th card
from the top of the deck and that card
was supposed to be the card that Ellen
signed but the 13th card wasn't the card
that Ellen signed so David made up the
final part of the trick and said that he
folded the card inflicted through the
air under the wristwatch of Ellen and
finally it turns out that the card was
the actual one that Ellen signed so now
you must be thinking how come that card
landed under the wristwatch of Ellen

now if we were wined back and watch the
video carefully you can easily figure
out this trick if you look here when
David placed the card between the palms
of Ellen he very quickly took his right
hand under the wristwatch
where he had the card removed from the
deck and folded under it he then quickly
places the card under the watch without
Ellen even noticing it you could even
see the card already folded and fixed
under Ellen's wristwatch and everything
david said about the card moving through
the air under the wristwatch of Ellen
was just a misdirection
at number five turning coffee into coins
wouldn't it be great if your coffee
turns into gold coins call David Blaine
the record-breaking magician who knows
this magic trick now this was one of
David Blaine's most famous tricks in
which he turned a homeless man's cup of
coffee into a cup full of gold coins so
how does David make coffee turn into
coins well we have the secret hidden
inside the coffee cup is another small
cup with a sponge at the bottom of it
that cup is just large enough to fit
inside the main coffee cup below the
coffee line a sponge is being cut to fit
inside the outer cup and that cup has a
small hole at the bottom the size of the
hole is such that David can easily place
his finger to cover it and this becomes
the key to the trick now the small cup
filled with coins goes into the outer
cup on top of the sponge and finally the
coffee is poured inside the cup now
David starts performing the trick first
he places his finger inside the hole at
the bottom and through that hole he
slowly pushes the sponge above which
makes the small cup filled with coins
rise and appear this makes the coffee
drain down below the inner cup from its
sides and into the sponge which absorbs
all the coffee finally we see the coins
appear and this is how he fools us with
his amazing skills

ad number for the mind-reading trick for
this trick David Blaine visits England
where he performs an amazing
mind-reading card trick and the person
on the other side was the famous
physicist the late Stephen Hawking he
places a deck of cards in front of
Hawking and asks him to think and name
any card he wants to and also ensures
him that he has no influence whatsoever
in the final selection now Hawking names
the nine of diamonds David then reveals
the nine of diamonds and Hawking was
impressed to see that David had his card
ready and waiting at the bottom of the
deck which he placed in front of Hawking
so how did he know it well the technique
David used in this trick is called
multiple outs this is a popular concept
in mentalism and prediction related
magic where the spectator doesn't know
where or how the prediction will be
pulled off and so the magician has the
option to change the prediction
according to what the spectator chooses
so no matter what card Hawking chose
Blaine was already prepared with a
different answer and had a separate
trick ready especially for that card now
he had many different ways of ending the
trick if Hawking had picked some other
card say nine of clubs then David would
show him that nine of clubs is at the
top of the deck and if Hawking picked
the ace of diamonds David would say that
this is the only card missing from the
deck so you must have got it it's a
trick that can't go wrong for someone as
skilled as David Blaine at number three
cigarette through a coin trick
David Blaine the magician known for his
horrifying magic tricks once performed
the magic of passing a cigarette through
a coin to amaze the audience around him
and here's the secret to this trick the
coin used by David Blaine was a gimmick
coin that actually had a hole at its
center through which the cigarette was
passed when we take a close look at the
back of the coin the coin flips open
from the center when pushed with the
cigarette from the other side after
passing the cigarette through the coin
David then instantly switches the
gimmick coin with a real coin before
passing it to the audience for the final
check whether the coin is real or not
at number two 360 degree arm twist can
you put your hand on the floor and
rotate it to a complete 360 degrees well
that's impossible you must think but
it's quite possible if your David Blaine
the magician known to challenge the
human potential beyond limits look here
how he rotates his arm to a complete 360
degrees well this trick also has a
secret David Blaine in this trick
positions his arm on the ground in a
very different way instead of placing
his hand right down on the ground he
instead flips his hand to 180 degrees
and then keeps that on the floor this
arm position now makes it a lot easier
for him to rotate his arm to more than
360 degrees also in the entire trick
it's almost impossible to figure out
that he has placed his arm in a
different way due to the long sleeve
jacket that he wears which covers his
arm completely so finally David Blaine's
number one trick on our list
vomiting live frogs we've all seen Fear
Factor shows in which people put all
sorts of insects spiders and even frogs
inside their mouth but this trick is one
notch higher and if you're David Blaine
the man who's been buried alive
submerged in ice for days and more
famously suspended above London in a
glass box for 44 days with absolutely no
food
then there's got to be some extreme
stuff the magician once performed a
trick in which he appears to vomit live
frogs out of his mouth and even after
everyone sees that his mouth is
completely empty he just keeps on
producing new frogs so how did he do
such an insane act now most of the stuff
David performs has got to do more with
endurance and skills rather than
manipulation and stuff so the only
secret here has got to be lots of
practice and extreme endurance and
before the filming began David had to
actually swallow all those frogs holding
them in his stomach's esophagus before
releasing them now you must be wondering
how is this possible this performance
was inspired by an earlier act by the
famous 1930s regurgitator haji ali so
it's all about mastering and gaining
control of your stomach muscles and this
is exactly what David practiced for
almost six months before shocking us all
with his superhuman ability so guys hope
he got the secrets behind David Blaine's
