David Blaine spitting out live frogs made Stephen Curry and Dave Chappelle lose their damn minds
In David Blaine’s latest special Beyond Magic, there’s a segment dedicated to a new trick he’s been doing -- he asks an audience member to draw a small animal that can fit in the palm of their hand, and then he spits said animal into a glass of water. Blaine performed this at Drake’s party with Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Dave Chappelle in attendance. Of course, everyone freaked the hell out, except for Blaine, because nothing ever fazes that man.
The frog trick is likely based on an earlier trick he did in his 2013 special Real or Magic. He spent years trying to figure out how to become a human water spout like Hadji Ali, and he finally learned how from an actual human water spout in Liberia, who was unaware of the trick and only did it because clean water is scarce where he’s from. Blaine would later switch out water for kerosene in the trick, giving him the ability to spit fire, because David Blaine apparently loves putting himself in greater danger.
What Drake’s party witnessed was basically the same trick, but with frogs, and it’s both amazing and disturbing that he was able to fit three live frogs inside his body, without doing damage to both the frogs and his body. It’s not so much a magic trick as it is a showcase of how far he’s pushed his body to do things most humans would never do.
The best part about Blaine’s trick is the fact that, after the trick, he and Drake gave each other a pound hug, like everything’s cool and nothing happened.
