The great illusionist travels the world, learning from ordinary folk whose special skills make them seem magic
Year: 2025
Certificate: 18
As David Blaine has demonstrated time and again, the art of magic goes way beyond simple tricks. For this series he's travelling the world to meet ordinary people performing incredible feats that look like magic - then, they give him a 'crash course' in their special skill.
It's rather like an adult gap year, with Blaine dropping in on Brazil, India, Japan and even the Arctic Circle across a six-part series that takes you into one extraordinary world after another, from people who put knives up their noses to free divers who swim with apex predators.
It's all grist to Blaine's mill of inspiration, firing him up to devise new stunts. This is quite literally the case in the first episode, in which he sets himself on fire and jumps off a bridge. Rather him than us, but it certainly makes for spectacular viewing. (Six episodes)
