Meet half-brother Michael James Bukalo

On April 4, 1973, in Brooklyn, New York, David Blaine was born. He has used a variety of last names throughout his life; Blaine is his middle name. His single mother, Patrie White, raised him while working up to three jobs simultaneously.

He originally learned his first trick, The Pencil Through the Card, when he was four years old after witnessing a magician perform in the subway. He was fascinated by magic since it has a connection to math and physics. David received some tarot cards from his gypsy grandma. Because he lacked the funds to visit a magic shop, he spent a lot of time studying magic in libraries.

He ate up every book he could find there while still tinkering with his tarot cards. He learned about his dream when he was five years old, and after performing a tarot card trick for a neighbour, he felt magic’s power for the first time. He told his mother right away that he wanted to be a showman. She never gave up supporting him.

Houdini became David Blaine’s stunt double. His first trick, which involved being buried alive for seven days, received endorsement from Houdini’s granddaughter. He did it to promote his second television special, David Blaine: Magic Man. Blaine, David Magic Man was given the name after a now-defunct website, claims a letter the Magic Directory received.
