FOX produced this TV documentary about acclaimed "street magician" David Blaine's latest stunt: encasing himself in a huge block of ice for 72 consecutive hours with only water for nourishment. Does the trick look impressive? Absolutely. Was Blaine REALLY 'frozen in time'? Not likely, although he did a great job fooling the masses.
The few intercut scenes of David performing his amazing magic tricks on the streets of urban North America are much more exciting than the whole freezing bit. You'll be entertained, but you won't have that feeling of baffling disbelief that "David Blaine: Magic Man" and "David Blaine: Street Magic" leave you with. Still, if you're a fan of Blaine and his one-of-a-kind style (as I must admit I am), this is a worthwhile viewing.
