David Blaine Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von David Blaine:

I think that, when you die, you go back to where you came from before you were born. So I don't think death is a bad thing.

I don't think you can say something is or isn't magic. That's what was cool about Houdini, because he was a magician who had a magic show, but he was also an escape artist, and they kind of, over time, blended together. They both kind of enhance each other, I think.

David Blaine

My only fear is the unknown.

David Blaine

I think great whites are the most beautiful and perfect creatures I've ever seen.

David Blaine

I think magic, whether I'm holding my breath or shuffling a deck of cards, is pretty simple. It's practice, it's training, and it's - It's practice, it's training and experimenting, while pushing through the pain to be the best that I can be.

David Blaine

I do a lot of research on what people have done in the past.

David Blaine

I have not had time to reflect on my own truths in many years.

David Blaine

When I was about 19, I shot a tape of me doing magic just to people on the streets, and I would edit together all the reactions and I kept pushing this idea, and then ABC came on board and made my first show.

David Blaine

I'd go to Coney Island to hang out, and I saw a magician doing a rope trick on the boardwalk. I was fascinated. I guess that's how it started.

David Blaine

I think anybody can do any of these if they train. I don't recommend it, but anybody could do it if there was a need.

David Blaine

As a kid I used to hold my breath longer than anybody else, and then I heard stories about people accidently underwater for 45 minutes - how do you recover from that? It's not a miracle. Something allows us to survive.

David Blaine

Magic's an art where you use slight of hand or illusion to create wonder. And I was just intrigued with that idea.

David Blaine

I thought instead of burying myself under dirt, I'd bury myself under water so everybody could see that you're there.

David Blaine

But as they say about sharks, it's not the ones you see that you have to worry about, it's the ones you don't see.

David Blaine

I'd always wanted to do these types of things - pieces of magic I could put out not as illusions, but really doing it.

David Blaine

In truth, the only restrictions on our capacity to astonish ourselves and each other are imposed by our own minds.

David Blaine

I just believe that the feeling of wonder is amazing. I am pushing myself as far as I can humanly push myself... I can only hope for the best and expect the worse.

David Blaine

My mother encouraged it so much. She was so supportive. Even if as a kid, I would do the dumbest trick, which now that I look back on some things, she would love it, she would say that's amazing, or if I'd make the ugliest drawing, she would hang it up. She was amazing.

David Blaine

I'd like to bring magic back to the place it used to be 100 years ago.

David Blaine

We are all capable of infinitely more than we believe.

David Blaine

As a kid, I always was obsessed with Houdini.

David Blaine

It was just like a digital fixation with cards and math and science and then I started to look at images of great magicians from Houdini down the line.

David Blaine

I remember my mother had this deck of cards that her mother had given her and that she passed on to me. It was a gypsy tarot deck that I used to carry everywhere.

David Blaine

I think that when Evel Knievel crashed over the fountain at Caesar's, it kind of gave you a credibility and then anticipation for everything he did.

David Blaine

Basically, I was a kid growing up with a single mother in Brooklyn.

David Blaine

I believe that fear of life brings a greater fear of death.

David Blaine

People haven't even begun to tap into the potential of what the mind is possible of doing. We only use a certain percentage of our brains.

David Blaine

I think that, when you die, you go back to where you came from before you were born. So I don't think death is a bad thing.

David Blaine

I've always liked artists like Chris Burden, who would take performances, put them in galleries, and then do things that were on the edge.
