David Blaine: Do Not Attempt

This was one of my favorite David Blaine thing since his earlier specials a decade or more ago! Its beautifully shot, the stunts these people do around the world is so motivating, and for david blaine to learn and perform these things is insane! Kissing a king cobra? Just breaking a bottle over your head? The arctic episode, the placing fire on your head...like wow! Just wow! This makes me have the urge to travel to all these places and befriend all these amazing people. Our world is so much more beautiful and amazing than we know. Blaine has outdone hinself with this docuseries. Highly recommend watching this series. I really hope he makes another series like this as I know theres many more amazing places and amazing people in the world :)

It felt like I was watching something I should not be allowed to see. I loved how this series granted me a glimpse into these incredible individuals lives, passions, and cultures. Watching David's reactions as well as others reactions to him brought me many emotions. At times it was difficult to watch (which describes how I felt at David's show in Vegas).. Just wow!

David Blaine has taken magic to another level in this show. I have to admit that I was never really a Blaine fan. He seemed more hype than anything else but in the National Geographic series, Blaine has matured into an incredible man and magician.

In this series, he takes you around the globe to find magic in the smallest and largest of places. He is so respectful of every culture.

I highly recommend this as something fresh, real, sincere and some super cool magic.

Blaine and National Geographic have really created a show that is wholesome and much needed today with everything so fake. Funny, I use to think Blaine was a fake but he has really showed me that I shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

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.

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!!!!!!
