It'll be magical when the Capitol Center for the Arts (Concord, NH) hosts illusionist, magician, and stunt artist
David Blaine on Sunday, June 11 at 8pm as part of his first-ever North American tour. The performance also features opener
Asi Wind.
David Blaine has revolutionized modern magic and mesmerized audiences unlike any performer in history. He single-handedly redefined magic after producing and directing his original television special Street Magic when he was just twenty-three. Over the last two decades, his nine prime-time specials have seen him buried alive in New York City for a week, encased inside a six-ton block of ice for three days, survived standing atop a 100ft tall pillar in Bryant Park for 36 hours without a safety net, endured 44 days inside a transparent box in London on nothing but water, and had over one million volts discharged at him continuously for 72 hours from seven Tesla coils. Blaine also spent one week submerged in a sphere-shaped aquarium at Lincoln Center, before breaking the world record for breath holding live on the
Oprah Winfrey show where he held his breath for over 17 minutes.
NYC based Corporate Mentalist (mind reader)
Asi Wind is one of magic's most influential thinkers and performers. Recently, he was presented with the Merlin Award for the most original show (previously given to
Penn & Teller and
David Copperfield). His recent off-Broadway show, "Concert of the Mind," completely sold out, extended its run, and received rave reviews and critical acclaim.
