David Blaine LOL Money

When someone calls David Blaine a magician, your response should be "What does he do that is magic?" Because hanging upside down for 60 hours isn't exactly magic, nor is the bungy jump he called the Dive of Death. Listen, people bungy jump every day in America, this doesn't make you a magician.

Now what Gandalf does in Lord of The Rings, now that is magic!

Actually, what David Blaine does is heavily promoted stuntman work. He does not magic. Suspending yourself above a city, while possibly terrifying and definitely taking some willpower, looks cool and makes him a lot of money, it doesn't exactly equate to magic. In fact, nothing he has done in a very long time could ever be considered magic by anyone calling themself a "magician." He is a stunt man, nothing more. He just happened to find a way to make a lot more money at his trade than the guys who used to dive off the rooftops in Old Hollywood Westerns.

Which brings me to the point, David Blaine is the real winner here. He makes a lot of money, and I mean A LOT. In fact while he is hanging up there during the night in the cold city breeze, I can only imagine the thoughts going through his head as he dangles there... "lol money, money lol."

David Blaine money lol

I am sure that is the extent to what keeps David Blaine focused while he is performing his latest "trick." Thousands of spectators flock to see it, millions or so tune in on television, most are let down, millions of dollars roll in via advertising revenue, and Dave just keeps thinking to himself... "lol money, money lol."

Internet street creds to YT - lol money bro.
