David Blaine: 我从小时候在布鲁克林接触街头表演开始，就对魔术产生了浓厚的兴趣。在 Neighborhood Playhouse 学习表演技巧后，我意识到魔术的精髓在于“少即是多”，减少自我表现，更多地关注观众的反应。我在 Jon Stewart 的节目上首次公开表演魔术，这为我的职业生涯奠定了基础。为了让魔术更具吸引力，我不断挑战身体极限，并与专家团队合作，进行充分的准备和测试。现在，我有了女儿，我更加注重安全，并希望我的表演能给观众带来快乐和启发。 Ted Danson: 我认为大卫·布莱恩是一位伟大的在世艺人，他的技艺令人难以置信。我很欣赏他的谦逊和热情，他的表演总是能让我感到惊喜。 Woody Harrelson: 作为大卫的朋友，我既为他感到骄傲，又为他担心。我亲眼目睹了他挑战极限的疯狂行为，也见证了他对魔术的热爱和奉献。
