David Blain: Childhood & Early Life

David Blain: Childhood & Early Life
David Blaine White was born on April 4, 1973, in Brooklyn, New York City, U.S.
He was raised by a single mother who worked at several jobs to make ends meet. As a four year old David saw a magician performing tricks in the subway and was thoroughly fascinated. He started practicing magic tricks himself with the tarot cards presented to him by his grandmother.
By the time he was 20, he had decided that he wanted to devote his life to magic. He received considerable support from his mother but she tragically passed away due to cancer when David was 21.

David Blain: Career
David Blaine started out as a street performer.
He was soon invited for an interview and his first television special, ‘David Blaine: Street Magic’ was very successful and was followed by ‘David Blaine: Magic Man’ two years later.
For his shows he travelled across the country and performed tricks in the streets before real, unsuspecting people.
He performed his first endurance stunt in 1999, by submerging himself in a 3-ton water-filled tank for seven days.
In 2000 he performed a stunt called "Frozen in Time" in which
he was frozen into a block of ice for 63 hours, 42 minutes and 15 seconds.
Over the years his tricks became increasingly dangerous and more exciting to watch.
