Party to celebrate the 38th birthday of the self-crowned “Michael Jordan” of music“: Kanye West. It’s attended by Jay-Z, Beyonce and others. The party goes well into the wee hours of the night.
So which magician was in the midst performing?
According to InTouch:
“Kanye and his crew did shots and partied hard. David Blaine did special magic tricks for Kanye and his friends, and then Kanye rapped.”
Was there really any other option? Of course it was Blaine. West’s new album Yeezus drops tomorrow.
In this 2006 David Blaine interview the magician discusses his feeling after failing to complete his live finale for the special Drowned Alive.
What a great look back in time. It’s an interview that puts Blaine apart from so many other performers. I can’t think of another magician that would be able to speak with such candor after a public failure.
Of course, Blaine later broke the record on Oprah.
