David Blaine Talks ‘South Park’ Parody, Exploring Real-Life Magic and Pushing His Limits in New Series ‘Do Not Attempt’


David Blaine discusses his new Nat Geo program and how he felt about those "South Park" and Jim Carrey parodies of him.

Their responses are often as memorable as the trick itself — such as when Harrison Ford pulled his playing card from inside a freshly cut orange and promptly told the illusionist, “Get the fuck outta my house.” In the series, produced by Imagine Entertainment, Blaine travels all over the world to meet with people from different cultures who perform remarkable feats of endurance, from eating nails to lighting themselves on fire. After a crash-course with the masters, Blaine attempts a few stunts on his own — including covering himself in scorpions, inserting a knife up one nostril and kissing a king cobra on its head.
