That is so fake.
A good one though.

If you cut your arm, it doesn't look like that.
It looks like plastic silicon arm to me. He placed a plastic over his arm and cut it.

The blood looks fake too.

This may come as a shocker as well to you but David Blaine cannot actually float in mid air either. Although he is a great magician and I do not know how he does half the tricks he does I still know they are tricks.

That is a totally fake arm the blood is fake and the skin tone and texture is wrong also there are no small hairs.

I would agree that the arm thing was fake but, how the hell did he go through a window?!

Ok he takes off his shoes the guy that goes in with him who is in there removes the glass that is being blocked by the paper. Both the paper and the removing of the shoes serve a purpose to distract and obstruct the viewer.

The guy "passes through the glass" his pal inside replaces the glass and the people holding the paper are in on it as well. Notice they do not freak out and run like hell and drop the paper which would be a normal reaction or at least peak to see what is going on the inside as he is coming through.

Or he actually can pass through solid glass but must do so only without his Doc Martins on and the paper is an absolute necessity because it creates a special flux vortex that trans modulates the glass into an altered state of high liquidity.

So before he puts the paper on the glass and they are tapping on it....wouldn't you be able to see a seam? It's something like that but I can't find a seam in the glass.

Ahaha, ok. I guess the whole thing is staged.

Dammit. I miss Houdini. :(

Houdini did the same thing just like David Blaine does, the trick is not really a trick it is all in the staging. Just like a Pen and Teller show, but damn if it is not entertaining to watch that is for sure.

The seam has to be their some where if it is cut right you might not even be able to see it with a high definition camera let alone over the internets at 300kbs. The other thing he might be tapping on a part of the glass that was not removed and we can't tell because of the angle.

Ok, so how does David Blaine levitate? I've never been able to figure that one out.

Well he always does it with his back to the mark he is levitating for and they never show him from the front on tv when he is doing it. But really I have no idea but if you want to find out just give these guys some money and you can be the next David Blaine.

Actually Eli, Houdini managed to get out of chains and stuff because he was so flexible. That was real.

Although, he did have to take his shoes off too. :)
