Law = Gravity
Fact = Man cannot defy gravity without some sort of mechanism or machine.

Magic is nothing but a series of optical illusions ... I like magic, not b/c I think its "real" but more so b/c I'm impressed by the illusions that magicians can pull, especially in street type situations where everything is very hands on. That takes skill, but theres nothing magical about it.

You'll notice he makes it SEEM random by picking the one girl...and then picking the other "random" girl because, well, she's taller - right? Then amazingly, with almost no force exerted on her, she is split in two - right. My analysis of the situation is that she is more than likely without legs and has prosthetics. Then she just walks away on her hands (fully balanced and capable of doing it), which is way too good to believe, for someone who just got split in half. Most people would just go into shock or faint. Along the same lines, most woman can't do one full pushup, let alone "drag" themselves in a prone push-up position, yet this "severed" woman does it with no problem. Illusion - barely, corny - yes.

The best was when Howard Stern sent "Hank the Drunken Dwarf" in a bunny outfit in front of David Blaine when he was in the frozen ice cube. He was completely wasted and flipping him off, grabbing his crotch in front of him, was a riot indeed,
