David Blaine Street Magic Parody: “The Street Magician” — All Parts (Video)
Want some street magic? There’s a well-known Russian-language parody of David Blaine’s show called “The Street Magician”: the “magician” performs “miracles” for random passers-by, and their reactions will make you laugh till you cry.
If you haven’t seen it yet, be sure to watch it! All the parts are in one video below. It’s in Russian, but much of the humor is in the reactions.

The video collects the episodes “The Meeting”, “Cookies”, “Barbie”, “Picnic”, “Fishing” and others. This post used to have each part as a separate video, but those were removed from YouTube, so I kept the compilation.
Who is David Blaine?
David Blaine is an American illusionist. He became famous with the TV special David Blaine: Street Magic, where he performed tricks for random people on the street and filmed their reactions up close — which is exactly why he became such an easy target for parodies. He later became known for endurance stunts too: spending days encased in a block of ice, standing on a pillar, and living in a transparent box above the Thames.
