David Blaine\u2019s first residency, which kicked off Sept. 30 at Resorts World Las Vegas, has been making tickets disappear.<\/p>\n

The illusionist and the casino resort have added six new 2023 dates: January 6, 7, 27, and 28, and March 10 and 11. These new tickets for \u201cDavid Blaine: In Spades\u201d go on sale to the general public on October 7 at 10 a.m. PT, and to American Express card members on October 4 at 10 a.m. PT.<\/p>\n

Seats are still available for Blaine\u2019s previously scheduled remaining dates: Oct. 28 and 29 and Dec. 16 and 17. These range in price from $59 to $1,500.<\/p>\n

\n

Blaine\u2019s premiere was attended by members of his celebrity fan club, including actor Woody Harrelson, rappers Dr. Dre and Eminem, Metallica\u2019s Lars Ulrich, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, producer Brian Grazer, director Darren Aronofsky, and actor Edward Norton, who introduced one of the illusions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Blaine\u2019s Resorts World show joins David Copperfield at the MGM Grand and \u201cCriss Angel: Mindfreak\u201d at Planet Hollywood as the predominant magic shows currently featured on the Las Vegas Strip.<\/p>\n

Spoiler Alerts<\/h2>\n

According to reports, Blaine begins his show by greeting the crowd while appearing to float around the 5,000-seat auditorium supported only by a couple of dozen giant red helium balloons \u2013 like a real-life version of the 2009 animated movie Up. <\/em><\/p>\n

Next, the illusionist climbs a scaffold and dives 78 feet into a pile of cardboard boxes he had members of the crowd help assemble as he floated.<\/p>\n

The 90-minute show also includes close-up work, an illusion in which he appears to submerge himself in a water tank with a crocodile, and a finale in which every audience member cuts a deck in different ways, only to produce the same card.<\/p>\n

Close Up on David Blaine<\/h2>\n

Blaine, a Brooklyn-born illusionist of Russian-Jewish ancestry, magically appeared on the scene after producing and directing his original television special, “Street Magic,” when he was just 23. In the 26 years since, his nine prime-time television specials have seen him buried alive under a three-ton water tank for a week with no water or food, encased inside a six-ton block of ice for 65 hours, and stand atop a 100-foot pillar for 36 hours without a safety net.<\/p>\n

When I’m doing the stunts, it’s the only time I feel alive,”<\/strong> Blaine told the New York Times<\/em> in 2002.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Blaine\u2019s bizarre resume also includes having 1 million volts discharged continuously into his body for 72 hours, spending one week submerged in a sphere-shaped aquarium at Lincoln Center, and breaking the world record for breath-holding — 17 minutes, live, on “The Oprah Winfrey Show.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
