David Blaine is a magician, illusionist and endurance artist from New York City. Initially building a name for himself as a street magician with his first television special David Blaine: Street Magic in 1997, Blane would go on to distinguish himself in 1999 when he was entombed in an underground box underneath a three ton water filled tank for seven days. Having since continued to perform magic and illusions in addition to breaking endurance world records, Blaine has built a reputation as one of the premier magicians of his generation.
