Did anyone else see David Blaine on Johnathon Ross last Saturday?
(23.11.02 22:35 BBC1 Uk)
Is it me or does he come across very badly as an interviewee?
[Don't get me wrong I'm a big fan of Blaine and his magic.
On the show he performed a surgical needle through hand which he called an "illusion" but looked to me like he actually did push a needle through the back of his hand!!! The tip of the needle actually pushing against the skin before emerging through his palm. (Very impressive but painful I'd imagine!)]
How does he come across on US chat shows?
Best wishes to all.

John, he IS actually pushing an acupunture needle through his hand. Saw him do it from two feet away a few weeks ago.
I don't watch much TV, so haven't seen him interviewed over here.

Religious geek stuff. I believe the ceremony of crucifixion used that certain part of the hand, due to the lack of bones there.
---I fell for that (Blaine, gather-up all good tricks from magicians across the World, but never take them out, yet educate yourself for free, "Tour Bus") last year, and said that I would like to push an ostrich plume through the very same part of my palm, (using very micro hand-made gimmicks...) I thought it would work best at... say Carnival. This would give him/me an excuse for plume possession...Toot,toot.
