David Blaine  is an American magician and endurance artist. He made his name as a performer of street and close-up magic.

On May 19, 1997, Blaine's first television special, David Blaine: Street Magic, introduced his unique brand of street magic to the world when it aired on the American Broadcasting Company network. With its strong focus on spectators' reactions and showmanship, Street Magic revolutionized the way magic is performed and portrayed on television. According to The New York Daily News, “Blaine can lay claim to his own brand of wizardry. The magic he offers in tonight’s show operates on an uncommonly personal level.”

In Street Magic, Blaine is shown traveling across the country, entertaining unsuspecting pedestrians in New York City, Atlantic City, Dallas, San Francisco, Compton, and the Mojave Desert only recorded by a small crew with handheld cameras. Many magicians respect Blaine's choice of material and give him credit for creating an image of the contemporary magician distinct from other magicians in recent television history.[4] Jon Racherbaumer commented, "Make no mistake about it, the focus of this show, boys and girls, is not Blaine. It is really about theatrical proxemics; about the show-within-a-show and the spontaneous, visceral reactions of people being astonished."

In the News section of his official website, Blaine announced on August 20, 2007 that he is currently preparing for a new stunt slated to air live in May 2008. Regarding the stunt, Blaine stated, "If you thought my previous stunts were intense, this new one will leave you speechless. I can’t reveal any details (yet) but I’ve started preparing and training for the most dangerous and death-defying challenge of my career."

Several news outlets have reported that Blaine's new show will involve him trying to break the world record for sleep deprivation, presently held by Englishman Tony Wright. Wright found that the record (11.5 days without sleep) left him with hallucinations - for example, dreaming while awake - and that Guinness World Records refused to list or cite his record because of the grave risk to mental health.

Though this has not been officially confirmed, a posting on Blaine's site says, "The idea came to me during a sleepless night." and in a November 1 posting, Blaine stated that he has altered his diet to mostly raw food, a practice which is advocated by Wright.
