NEW YORK, NY - Michael Jackson once said, “David Blaine, your magic is real and I believe in you!” while accepting a birthday statue from Britney Spears at the MTV Video awards. Michael thought he was accepting the award for Artist of the Millennium and was dressed like a gay Nazi.

    The book featured above is David Blaine’s personal musings on magic and life. Here are some of my favorite quotes:

“I’m no Edison. I sleep seven hours a night.” In reference to a short period in Blaine’s adolescent years when he discovered he was NOT Thomas Edison.

“I wound up shivering on and off for the next fourteen hours, but that just made me want to do this even more.” In reference to his greatest discovery: Masturbation.

“Every one of my fantasies over the next three days involved me as some kind of prisoner of war or victim of a dreadful disease.” In reference to his early adolescent erotic fantasies.
