That’s called Street Magic. And if we talk about Street Magic one name will surely poops “David Blaine”.

David Blaine was born April 4, 1973 in Brooklyn New York. David never saw his father since birth and his mother is the only family he had. His mother raised him while taking three different jobs at a time. At the age of four while David was walking on a subway he saw a magician performing on a crowd of people at that instant David wanted to become a Magician so he purchased his first card effect “The pencil through card effect”. Magic also struck him because of its relationship with mathematics and science. Since the young boy has no money to go magic shops, he spends many and countless hours in libraries researching for some secrets about street magic. At the age of five he already mastered some card effects and learned what his dream was; after showing a card effect to a neighbor, he saw for the first time what impact magic can have emotionally on people. Then he told to him self “I want to be a showman”

At the age of ten David’s mother got married to a banker and they moved to Jerseyville, while in Jerseyville David developed a talent in acting. He travels everyday for miles to attend a acting workshop. David did some commercials and appeared n some soup operas. When David was 21 his mother died due to a ovarian cancer. It was then that he devoted his life on magic. So it started a legend with his unique talent and style he was discovered and have some connection to ABC and he started a show David Blaine; Street Magic. The ultimate magician was born.
