David Blaine:

The new special is finished. Originally Scheduled for February, then moved to March, is now due April 14 at 10 p.m. on ABC. It was named after Ashton Sperry's Website, David Blaine: Magic Man.

"David Blaine Magic Man, Blaine's second one-hour television special for ABC, takes the illusionist all over the globe. In Manhattan, he gives supermodel Bridget Hall the heebie jeebies by tugging a piece of string out of his skin. Near Memphis, a shirtless kid is dumbfounded when Blaine manages to have the card he choose (the four of hearts) inked on the boy's chest. Blaine joins a voodoo ceremony in Haiti and infiltrates an isolated tribe of near-naked natives in the South American rain forest. In one scene, he yanks off a chicken's head on Delancey Street, prompting a group of kids to run away screeching bloody murder. It's no surprise that he has to plead to a Haitian man; "I'm an entertainer, not black magic."
