When most people think of magic shows they probably think of goofy a looking birthday party magician dressed in a cheap suit doing card tricks, waving around a plastic black and white wand and pulling rabbits out of hats. But not all magicians are cheesy, and not all magic shows are just for kids. Brooklyn- born magician and illusionist David Blaine has been taking magic to the next level for about 20 years through television specials and public spectacles. Known mostly for his extreme endurance stunts, Blaine has held his breath under water for almost nine minutes, been buried alive and caught a .22 caliber bullet in a small metal cup in his mouth (check all of those out on his website, davidblaine.com). Blaine is going on his first-ever national tour, making a stop in Eugene on Tuesday, June 6. According to his website, the tour itself is an experiment and “will evolve as it moves across the country as Blaine continues to push the limits and attempt new feats for the first time live in front of his audiences. No two shows will be exactly the same.” Blaine will be bringing his one-man show to Eugene 8 pm on Tuesday, June 6, at the Hult Center. Tickets range from $33.95-$90.70. – Meerah Powell 60 June 1, 2017 • eugeneweekly.com
