David Blaine: Do Not Attempt

While all the "tricks" are rather remarkable and amazing. And the series in overall pretty interesting......

I find Blaine's "comatose-like" narration just sleep inducing. He speaks fine, and NORMAL, in the "live" footage at the settings with other people. No issue.

But then the voice over narration kicks in and it feels like it's at half speed and designed to lull you to sleep. Or perhaps somewhat condescending in nature. The narration is entirely unsavory to me for some reason.

There is quite a bit of "filler" in each episode.. but ultimately the things on display are pretty miraculous and worth the watch.. truth is, one doesn't *really* need the audio anyway.

David Blaine outdone himself again. This documentary belongs to another world. My went through an emotional roller coaster while I watched the first three episodes. Surely, I didn't expect it could be so intense. Sometimes I have to covered my eyes with my hands like a little kid because the scenes are so scary. When I watched the king cobra moment, my heart was beating like I experience it myself. The shocking experience is beyond my expectation of watch a documentary. However, I fast forwards some acts of sharp subjects because I literally feel physical pain watching them. Besides the enjoyments of watching a good movie, I also got some inspirations from David's comments about those incredible "magicians". My daily "troubles" seems so small compare the challenges David willingly took upon himself.

Absolutely magical! David Blaine and the people he meets around the world will literally give you goosebumps. This show is absolutely phenomenal. Don't miss out on the opportunity to watch this show as it is probably one of the best you will see in 2025. Traveling the world and finding people who do amazing things with years of training. This journey David takes you on is one you will never forget. The show is a home run and will leave you wanting more. From cobra's to katana swords to being under the ice and much more. You will never see anything like this again David Blaine at his best!!!!!!

I'm all for magic and sleight of hand and stuff like that, but David always took it a notch further, I hardly believed his videos thinking that might be AI, until I stumbled upon this documentary.. Sure there's no such thing as magic but the hunger to learn has earned the respect I have for David, mann, he went all out in search of knowledge, and that is commendable, we see magicians performing and think it's a piece of cake for them but never have we understood the trials and ordeals they go thru to perfect one act.. This episode was just incredible..I always perceived David as an egoistic guy, but this documentary changed my perception about him.. U guys nailed it...

I was a huge fan of David Blaine back in the early 2000s. I remember vertigo in particular and I got to see drowned alive. The last one I saw was electrified back in 2012. I think he was 40 at the time and it was very impressive to see him still pushing the limits. The guy is now 52 years old and he is still doing it! It's not about tricks. He shows us what humans are capable of through determination and hard work. David Blaine is such an inspiration to us all. With the new series he is taking to opportunity to show us incredible humans around the word. Each is a master in their own right and David shares their story with the world. Love the new series!!!
