3. David Blaine
Known not only for his magic tricks, David Blaine, the number three in our list of most successful magicians ever, is an acclaimed endurance artist, performing feats that no other magician would ever dream of. He has been buried alive in a plastic box, enclosed in a block of ice, dangled several feet in the air in a transparent case, submerged in water for a week, hung upside down without any support, and electrified wearing a chainmail suit. His stunts are enough to astonish even the most cynical of people and typically run for days always succeeding to grip the attention of the viewers. Various experts have declared that he has brought something new to the field of magic with his stunts and his unique way of focusing on the audience’s reaction rather than the magician when showing his tricks on television.
