There has been a time in every kid's life when he or she has dreamed of becoming a police officer or a fireman. A magician is also a popular occupation among children. Most of us have done a card trick to a friend or two. But there are only a few people, who actually have the determination and willpower to practice enough to became a professional.

In the last few years certain kind of magicians have gained a lot more popularity than others - namely street magicians. David Blaine was the man who really took to the masses. Some even believe him to have actual supernatural powers. He walked around the streets of New York with his cameraman and showed all kinds of magic tricks to unsuspecting by-passers. One of the most incredible of them was when David Blaine asked random people to think about the name of the person they love the most and after a few seconds a taxi drove by with the name of the loved one painted on the side. In addition to breathtaking illusions, David has performed some pretty might I even say scary feats. He holds the record for holding one's breath underwater (17 minutes and 4 seconds). A few years ago he spent 44 days in a glassbox above the River Thames in London with only enough water to take two teaspoons a day.

Lately there have been appearing more people with similar talents. One of those people is Chris Angel, who, like David, does some pretty mindboggling tricks (but not as lifethreatening). But what I'm trying to say here is, that all the people who weren't able to make their dreams a reality can do that now. After finishing school and landing on a stable enough job you can have some free time to practice all those swift moves. And if you look at the older posts on Yaika! blog you can find some good tips on how to make a live moving broadcast.

Now all you have to do is start looking for that old deck of cards :)
